yeh this nonsense theory about singaporeans not willing to work
is just to justfiy why so many jobs went to foreigners.
Truth is...the govt is at a dilemma. They wana expand the
population but they dowan to be seen as unfriendly too by passing
anti-foreigners labour laws.
I went to HK street restaurant at Alexandra Village last night
and saw that half the workers were chinese. I wondered to myself
the boss is rich leh, why need to employ china women. I'm sure a
lot of aunties willing to step out to work since now recession and
their husbands must be having a hard time.
But then again, spore has no labour laws which determine what
nationalites the boss must hire. He's running a business, even if
profit margins are high but between a $1200/mth auntie (with cpf)
and $800/mth china gal, which one u take? If 5 china gals? Then 5
times the savings. With 20 odd grand savings a year...why not?
