After reading this thread thoroughly especially the first parts
of the thread, I really felt sad of some SG's not wanting foreign
workers to work in SG. I just can't help just reading people's post
saying Filipino english is bad compared to SG's english. As young
as I am, 16, I can say I have good english (and btw, I'm a
Filipino). As you can see today, I think everyone already is
learning on how to speak English. That is why you think that you
have better English than Filipinos is that you can't understand it
clearly. Let me explain this.
It is just like Chinese English, you can't understand it clearly
too right? And they also think they already are good in English and
we think that it is not. It is because we are not used to how they
speak it. It is just the same with Filipino and SG English. Maybe,
we just don't understand each other since we are not used to
hearing how they speak.
And about the job thing, I'm 16 and in my first year in college
studying BS - Information Technology. I just thought that after I
graduate, I would work there since I have good SG and MS friends I
made in the internet and they are really welcoming me on working
there. Now that I have read this topic, I am already discouraged of
working there since most SG's (if not all) are not really welcome
seeing foreign worker's since we would just be occupying and
hording your job opportunities.
I hope next time we won't compare our race since it is normal
that some are in high position and some are at low. You are very
lucky that you are in high state today.
I really signed up just to say this since I really was hurt
(being a Filipino) reading all the stuff written in the previous
pages. I did not come here to fight or quarrel or debate about
stuff so please just be patient with me if you think my post is
something you do not like. Thank you.
They are not angry with you or foreign students or foreign
workers or anything foreign despite what you might read in forum
pages.
Rather they are angry at certain policies from the people at the
top.
You will understand the situation more clearly when you are
older.
Don't fret too much about things you read in here.
