RE: FTs

leilan84 SG

hmm... just wondering if we can import FTs into our gaberment?
as they're lower in cost and more skilled, i'm sure they'll
make our gaberment competitive!
Laughing

it's all a part of globalization!
replace gaberment with FTs just like the gaberment replace us Twisted Evil

That is a good idea though not new. I have long contemplated on this. First the PAP must allow. I think it is wishful thinking as we all know PAP by now they think only for themselves. If they get FTs as ministers their rice bowls will be threatened, so they will not allow. They can do it to the common people who vote for them for to them we are nothing, to them if we don’t like it just leave. To protect their rice bowls they will never never allow FTs in the cabinet. PAP exists to care for themselves only not to take care of the people’s rice bowls.

in fact, we have some ministers who r FTs... MBT n lily neo. Mad

royston_ang SG

Haha, no use. Cause FT can't complete in GRC election. Must have candidates from different race. Laughing

leilan84 SG

we'll have to push it up to the ratio of 1:4
to see vast improvement for the overhead cost of manisters

leilan84 SG

we're in the "Gobalization" era now my child.
either they follow or they can just pack and leave.
We can always depend on FTs you know?
cheaper somemore and more "talented"

royston_ang SG

Well, the gov (a.k.a PAP) has upped the barrier with GRC so FTs will have to find people of different race to form a party to complete.

And the gov can always change the rules to suit themselves.

leilan84 SG

"suit"? or is it protect their own payroll and power you mean?

and forsake the sgrean?

this is really mean... how can they protect their own (_)(_) and
let those FTs screw ours?
Evil or Very Mad

i'm really sarcastic Embarassed

royston_ang SG

What I mean is the ministers are now like the emperor and his followers living in the palace with their super high salary, indifferent to what happening outside the wall of the palace.

Similarly, the gov welcome more FT to Singapore to compete against the local but do you really think it's possible for the majority of the gov to be comprising of FT?

FT is a foreigner who just apply almost can say easy to get PR most of the time if not many of the time.

Resident can be a foreigner who applied. After a few short months, Residential status.

I do not think anywhere else in the world is as convenient.

Many examples are truth of those who made good use of such system and stepstoned to USA.

As citizen and I think PR, going to Europe and USA does not require visa in general. This is what many crave for.

Many PRs I know never convert to citizen. They are based here but mostly if not all the time overseas working. Member has so much privileges.

Eat you hearts out !

reddressman SG

when war comes and if many or mostly are new immigrants or PRs,
what happens?

who will drop it and run home?

reddressman SG

From logic and technical perspective,

I would be lying if I say no talent exist in this world whereby his asking salary is only 20K and his interest, ambition and passion is to politics and nothing else like to be a CEO of some company earning zillions of dollars. There are people whose life is not just about money in order to work. There are many who work for passion and interest and finds no need for so much money. They are thrifty and talented. I am sure such talents exist in this world. Many. More than enough.

Logically speaking.

leilan84 SG

and what makes you think that "they" will stay and
fight along side with you?

***though they're paid millions to look after you and your family.

reddressman SG

should this ratio be controlled by one person or the people's views should be incorporated?

Seven_Dragon SG

no one bother about the citizens... why? simply because they don't care...
whether citizens die or stay alive, it's none of their business... seriously, tonnes of FTs want to be PRs here...

because they come, they work, they earn, they go... like one night stand... no string attached... wake up guys
