Yes after being treated as slaves of sg, I should thank foreign
talents for taking away our jobs! let me go and thank my former
malaysian production line leader who loves to scold singaporeans
every day! what do you know? even production operators get to
become foreign talent!
AS THE world celebrates International Migrant Day on Sunday,
workers in Singapore too, will have somewhere to go to mark the
occasion.
.
In recognition of migrant workers, non-profit organisation
Transient Workers Count Too (TWC2) and its partners, which include
the Ministry of Manpower and the Humanitarian Organisation for
Migration Economics, are organising an open-to-all sports carnival
at the Queenstown Stadium.
.
This event is "a gentle way to just say thank you", Ms Braema
Mathi, TWC2's president, told Today. "Singaporeans and foreign
workers together built this country. We need each other. The
Singaporean is a global citizen," she added.
.
The organisers hope that Singaporeans will show their appreciation
for migrant workers' contribution to the country's prosperity,
giving thanks to an indispensable but often overlooked group of
people.
.
With more than half-a-million foreign work permit holders in
Singapore, the organisers are hoping that the carnival which
lasts from 7.30am to 1pm will fill out Queenstown's 5,000
capacity.
.
Those who attend will be treated to sports competitions, songs and
dances and presentations to foreign domestic workers.
.
Attractions include goodie bags, a photo exhibition and stands put
up by some of the carnival's sponsors, which include SingTel,
SingPost and the Public Utilities Board.
.
Foreign workers attending will be able to find out more about
sporting facilities, courses and helplines open to them. Employers
and other members of the public, too, will get access to useful
information. Serene Chua
