Hi,
a few decades have passed since FTs came.
why the continued reliance on so many FTs?
a few rare talents i can understand may be needed as in any
where. but do we need 1 million 'FT' in a land of such highly
educated people?
Why not able to be self reliant like Japan or even south korea
which I am sure does not have so high percentage of reliance?
Why ? Why Why Why ?
They come, they conquered and they went out.
Some converted saying, "I took it up because I was given
it".
I know a new 'zen who took up the offer and you know what, 90%
of his 5 years as a 'zen is working overseas. He has his passport
to thank for. And the thing to note is, he said he does not
like sgp lifestyle and people. He sent his son back home as he was
just reaching 18. He renounced his son PR. And he told me
firmly that he will be returning to his mudderlando once
he satisfied and earned enough.
Its quick and easy way to just open the gates wide wide and
let anyone with some kind of skill like an engineer or programmer
or factory worker come here and apply PR or work long term. But
what is done after that? Is it all just about business?
I am sure running a country is more than than
economics. I think the word is "nation development".
Nation means the people. Of course, I would say I think they are
doing just that. U no believe of the me meh? 
In a world of business, its all about bottomline 1st everything
else is still bottomline. Do you think running a country should be
like a business? Of course I am just asking. Of course you know
that I think this country is running not just like a business. Its
super stedi bombibi. like this safe or not? when people do
business, it does not matter if its tobacco or oily foods bad for
health. Its $ and cents. that is why business people do what they
do. else they would nebber survive.
what is done to replace FTs by empowering systematically locals
with the same skills?
how many locals are we talking about in the tiny dot?
is that so difficurt?
of course again, i am just asking, the reality may be something
else. It may be that there is something in place but somehow, the
unexplanable is the heavy reliance on FT and that is growing in my
personal perspective. abt 1 , 0 0 0 , 0 0 0 . 0 0 jobs require FTs.
I wonder why. I wonder what has all the deans dons have to say. at
this point, I like all smart people to answer me, what is the
definition of Talent? is someone who attended an engineering course
from some kind of school a talent? A talent to me is someone like
Bill Gates, inventors, scientists, olumpic champions, international
athletes, those who worked in silicon valley, those who can come up
with creative ideas and solutions.
shall i suggest a solution? i doont require million dollar
salary leh. just throw me peanuts and I come up solutions for you
that really effective. Its only if you want to serve or you dont
wanna serve. Job satisfaction is not all about salary.
My question is how long more will we have to wait before sgp
becomes self reliant to the extent like Japan and South Korea ? If
the reliance is there, it will always be there and can grow unless
something concrete is done about it.
I recommend the people responsible being sponsored a trip to
japan and learn from them. But after spending all money on them,
they must deliver. Else, like an INC, must be sacked immediately
without remorse.
