When In
graduated from university, I was thinking of having a good prospect
in life. Earning and surviving, being capable of making a good
living. I am an engineering student; my results are good in
the way I have obtained a higher honor degree.
As a fresh
graduate, I didn't request for much, I know that economic are bad,
that is 5~6 years back, the economic is extremely bad, just
about the same as now.
I was called for
an interview by NEA. The advertisement called for fresh
graduate.It's a rubbish incinerator plant in Tuas. 5 men went for
the interview session. 4 Singaporean Chinese + 1 Indian (from
India.)
The Singaporeans
were smartly groomed for the interview session, tie, long sleeve,
slack and boots. The Indian man was in polo t shirt, jean and
running shoes.
While waiting,
one of the Chinese guys told us to exchange HP number, since there
is only one vacancy for the job, if one of us got it, we shall
inform the others via sms. We agreed.
3 weeks have
passed; I had received the sms from the other guys saying they
didn’t get the job. Heard from one of the guys who have a friend
who is working in the plant told him that the Indian guy have got
the job. His salary demand is 4.8K. He is 45 years old. But after 6
months, he left the company. he wasted the chance of us,
singaporean . in getting a job. the advertisement put. "those who
have applied before please do not apply again".
Well, government
related sectors also start hiring foreigner rather then Singapore
graduates. I was at PUB before, I can see they are hiring YOUNG
china lady to become engineer, their work attitude and their speech
is really bad. Their salary are very high, about 5K per
month.
The current
"Foreign Talent" come here to mess up singapore. they worked in
singapore, but they constantly looking for jobs in the other
countries. they don't belong to singapore. PAP is messing with our
life.
Fire Cracker.. that guy from India .. is he holding a MBA or PHD
and asking for 4.8K ? At 45, he'd have trumped you with his working
experience alone.
You guys don't even stand at chance right from the
beginning.
Unfortunately.. these cheap talents are the banes every where
around the world. They are market spoilers.
Sad to know even our govment employers are so cheap.
