There is a lot of different in people coming in beggar country
and people coming from full meals onboard country. On the other
hand, those from beggar country will agree on anything, the
mentality is get it first, talk later, and those from full meals on
board ones is talk first, work later.
Let compare apple to apple, look at my 2nd homeland taiwan,
japan and korea, quite similar to singapore, also low birth rate
and aging population, they did allow foreign workers into their
industrial, but only on certain industrials and very minimal,
tightly control and after 2 years, they change them. Unlike ours,
their foreign workers infusion needs the agreement from their
unions and public consent. For us ah nehs, ah bangalas, ah tiongs
and ah tiong mei mei can come and go as they like. But these
countries are also doing well, they got local cleaner, local
delivery men, local bus drivers, local workers and local
management.
The differences is their local are paid well to perform a job,
about $3 to 4 for a cleaner job, treated as professionals, do their
duties well and loyal to the companies and their country, as a
cleaner, she must make sure all in tip top conditions so as to be
proud of her archievement and her country image, at all time
she will provide good service. She is productivity, innovative and
also friendly. You see in japan and korean, they mean business in
their job. But in Singapore, you paid peanuts employ peanuts, you
get foreign monkeys with no motivation to be productive, no
innovation, and certainly no care about anything as this is not
their country, no loyalty as they are only here maybe 2 years
contract then go home. And that is why our productivity and our
quality went down.
Now, if you paid our cleaners $3k per month, tell me what will
happen??? still go MC, still dun want to work??? so you got to be
reasonable here about our workforce ya, it is not that singapore
grumble so much, it is because our salary is being crushed down by
foreign workers, who will take on anything rather than staying at
their beggar country with nothing much to earn.
