abstract: 'Singapore''s industrial development and restructuring rue very much
dependent on foreign investment. Despite the apparent benefits of
foreign investment and Singapore''s success in export-oriented
manufacturing there am worrisome aspects arising from the large and
growing dependency on such investment in the manufacturing sector as
Singapore moves toward a developed country status. This article explores
some of the consequences of such dependency. In terms of industrial
pattern, foreign investment has crested and maintained a dualistic
industrial structure in manufacturing. Foreign firms and government
industrial policies have suppressed and marginalized local
entrepreneurship Export-oriented industrialization has opened the
employment doors for women in manufacturing. However, women are
predominantly found in low pay, dead end job in the assembly line of
Singapore''s new industrial order. With the implementation of a new wave
of industrial restructuring strategies, new capital and technological
intensive foreign investments am welcomed and solicited However, the
local labour supply is unable to meet the increased demands. Foreign
labour has been called in to fill the gap. This inevitably distorts
labour market outcomes and heightens the income inequality index.'
