can anyone comfirm this

No. Its an equality system where the rich will become poor and the poor will become rich. We Singaporeans will lose our jobs because we demand high pay and the Chinese gets to be richer cos they can do what we do for less and gets paid for it.

The chinese u referring to the people from china rite?
That sound like an utopia where the rich will become poor and the poor will become rich in Singapore unless u talking about international context, where the growing developing countries are taking over from the developed countries.

I wonder is there really total democracy or it just an alientation of the people?

Salman SG

We are talking internationally.
We are losing investment and jobs to China because they cost less.
The totality of it all is that we will become poorer and they will become richer to even out in the long run.
We Singaporeans have been profiteering for too long and its unfair. The Chinese need to be enriched to be fair to all.

It's an unglamourous job: stinks, filthy and disgusting to the average office singaporean.

Pity the guys learn to clean toilets only in NS days while the girls probably never learn that at all.

Yeah, the next step is foreign workers....poor old aunties and uncles...

Salman SG

What is so unglam about cleaning toilets? Don’t you sh-it? Why do you look down on what the uncles and aunties do?

oldbreadstinks,

may be u could advise those aunties and uncles to report to MOM. it does help.

oldbreadstinks SG

but is it useful? because i get the feeling here that its actually legal for the employers to do so, just that its not very moral

and just wondering, would toshin actually do anything about it if they know?

What is so surprising? After all, how much are we paying our maids to work 7 days a week? Singaporeans say it is a contract...you don't like it, you can leave the job. So why should Singaporeans complain about $300 a month to work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week when our maids work 16 hours a day, 7 days a week for less than $300 a month? At least these uncles and aunties can go out when they like it, watch TV when they want and make friends with whoever they like. The maids are kept as virtual prisoners in the house and not allowed to mix with their friends in case 'they learn bad things'....

Singaporeans are hypocrites and deserve to lose their jobs to foreign workers..

Have you read my statement out of context?

In fact i respect what the old ladies/uncles do wiping our a s ses in the toilets.

I'm just stating the obvious: due recognition and pay is not afforded to these people and thus they are abused and mistreated. They should be given at least a decent salary to match their long hours and compensation for their hard and unglamourous work.

Yes make no mistake, it is an UNGLAMOUROUS job, else plenty of Singaporeans will be pouring foward to fill the vacancies.

Which is why i can only deduce that the next step for such companies will be to phase out local employment in this area and pursue foreign workers.
