Click the link for more information. is a constitutional monarchy A constitutional monarchy is a form of government established under a constitutional system which acknowledges a hereditary or elected monarch as head of state. Modern constitutional monarchies usually implement the concept of trias politica, and have the monarch as the (symbolic) head of the executive branch . Today, constitutional monarchy is almost always combined with representative democracy, and represents a compromise between theories of sovereignty which place sovereignty in the hands of the people, and those that see a role for tradition in the theory of government. Though the king or queen may be regarded as the government's symbolic head, it is the Prime Minister, whose power derives directly or indirectly from elections, who actually governs the country.

He said foreign workers were needed to fill the gap left by local workers who needed to be trained for more skilled jobs, and not as a long-term measure to enable employers to cut cost. Among them are: STOPPING the system of supplying foreign labour through contractors; REQUIRING employers to apply for approval from the ministry to hire foreign workers based on need; CLOSELY monitoring companies planning to introduce voluntary separation schemes (VSS) to prevent them from being used as a guise to lay off local workers; REQUIRING employers to advertise vacancies for at least two consecutive days in major local dailies to allow local workers the chance to secure employment; and
