Rather than to rub each other the wrong way, let's start afresh
and try to foster better understanding, even though yet again you
cast a slur against Singaporeans, implying they are not as
dependable than foreign workers.
Sure, we are thankful they clean up our mess and build beautiful
structures PAID by us. But at what social cost?
Have you considered that if there were no foriegners around,
companies would have to pay more in order to profit, or at least
share their profits around by paying more in order to survive?
I am not sure if i am dealing with a talent or not, so i have to
write simply. If you are an educated talent, you would know what
kind of economic theories written by others I mean.
Just consider a waitress' pay on Christmas Island and
ours. It is twice and even 3 times the amount one gets here. Why?
Because the islanders were protected. But that island in truth is
only sustainable for limited growth, and not the kind of growth we
singaporeans are expecting for us and our next generations. Thus
the trade off - to get cheap labour for bosses to profit and in the
meantime they will need higher skilled staff earning more filled by
our locals.
The only grouse comes from those who may not be as educated, or
skillful as others, or older and subsequently lagged behind to
face the foreigner hordes.
Worse still, and many singaporeans found out, there are many
employers who took advantage of this economic system to fill even
well paid jobs with younger and cheaper foreign
workers/talents.
Isn't the exploitation of cheap labour immoral? You are the
boss, so you are in a better position to answer that. I only know
that it would be immoral if our own valued citizens starve, in
a globalised world that you bosses dictate and demand to
societies.
Let it not be said we are racists, or undependable,
unreliable, or whatnots. Spend a bit more time here before you
criticise next and be not selectively blind.
He claims he is "european" only.. you suddenly change to such a
nice tone ah ?
Sorry to say this.. but you sure seem like a ECS " European cock
sucker" eh ?
Ofcors he come to Singapore exploit our open leg policy and the
low wages of foreign labours.. after he lined his big fat stomach
already he still goes back to his country where there's strict
immigration and foreign worker policy that protects his children's
interests and jobs in the future.
They not happy .. they go on strike. We not happy.. gahmen tell
us go jia sai.
So best he don't come here tell us who we should appreciate ok ?
Good.
