Of course ppl from China will compete with you for jobs. I
worked in a company that hires more than 85% of foreigners -
Mainland Chinese, Philippina, Indonesians, Malaysians, Burmese,
Israeli, Pakistani, etc. Singaporeans are actually a
[b]minority in this company. The boss is always looking
for ways to reduce costs and increase profits. Otherwise, why would
he hire foreigners in the first place? He has foreigners in almost
all positions - accountants, engineers, IT support, purchasing,
sales, marketing, etc.
There was a time when he hired more than the required number of
people in my department. I'm an engineer and the only Singaporean
in this department. The rest are foreigners. As you know,
if you hire a Singaporean, you could probably hire at least
two foreigners (talent or not). Not long after a new
foreign engineer joined my department, I was told to leave. He was
willing to accept a wage lower than me.
My fellow Singaporeans, the day has arrived for foreigners to take
away your rice bowls just like it did in my case. If you do not
believe what I said, you could apply for jobs at
Esco Micro Pte
Ltd, work there and find out for yourself whether
you see more foreigners than Singaporeans. The company is founded
by a Singaporean.
I do not know about other companies though. Maybe you would like to
list them here so that I will never apply to such companies in the
future. Thank you.

U said u r an enginner ? in what field and from which Uni? cauz
a bookeeper can claim he is an acct w/o qulification.
Mind u, there is a guy self proclaimed as a doc ,lawyer and
economist here!!!but his edu level is below A level cause he
doesnot know wat is discounts vs subsidies, bond price vs interest
rate, dogs vs human beings etc!!!
A professional's salary in Spore is at least10 times more expensive
than a counterpart in a third world country!!! that why it is
strange that u said one Sporean professional is more than 2
foreigners from the third world country??? In other word,it makes
me think u r only an enginner w/o qulification i.e degree or a
member of professional Inst
