Quote "On the contrary, an extensive social safety net with unemployment benefits, free education and healthcare, allows companies to make flexible and sensible business decisions such as job cuts and retrenchment without having to worry about their adverse social effects on employees and their families."

I am not an economist nor an owner of a business nor am I a professor in a university.
Does an company who retrenches employees really worry about this ?

He wants to make Singapore like Nordic countries? We are already one. Read the World Bank's Some Small countries do it better
