Millennium and Copthorne now put up new job ad seeking ‘regional sales manager’ after being ‘counselled’ by MOM

We have been informed by Ms Erica Chui, a VP of Millennium and Copthorne International Human Resources Department that it has put up a new job advertisement on ‘jobstreet’:

The earlier ad seeks only ‘native PRC Chinese’, sparking a massive outcry among netizens:

Following the report by The Temasek Times, a netizen tipped Minister of State for Manpower Tan Chuan Jin off who described the ad as ‘unacceptable’. The ministry has since informed Millennium and Corpthone international to change the ad.

Though the position is now open to all nationalities including Singaporeans, the applicant is expected to possess experience in ‘handling’ the China market.

Interested Singaporeans can email their resume and current and expected salaries to the Human Resources Division of Millennium and Copthorne International. However, only ‘shortlisted’ candidates will be notified.
