there's this website maintained by FBI on a database of many (if
not all) countries in the world. singapore has one of the largest
influx (and i say "one of the largest" because I don't want to
appear biased, but NONE of the western countries that is a coveted
destination is even close to the rate of influx of foreigners in
singapore!!!) of foreigners. i looked at the popular destinations
for immigration, such as US, Canada, Australia.. none comes close
to the influx of foreigners into singapore. if i remember
correctly, singapore's influx of foreigners (per 100,000 of local
population) is something like 5-10 times that of these
countries.
and you are right. taxpayers' money is going to the foreign
talents, most noticeably, india and china. asean region too, but
don't underestimate the chiense force. it will consume us all one
day.
doomsday.
just check with the students in nus/ntu. parts of the campus (esp
engineering/science...) looks like china or india. sick of them
foreigners. really sick. i don't even like them. they're
piss-offing.
i once did IA with a huge MNC (one of the giant petrol companies).
my manager said he couldn't understand why our local students don't
want to go into engineering jobs after graduating and prefer to go
into finance. i think he should open his eyes bigger (or stop lying
to himself) the MNCs prefer the damn bl00dy chinese/indians cuz
they're cheaper labor. they're technically equal or superior but
has zero communication skills. crap.
real crap.
disillusioned? why support a government that is out to woo someone
that can't even vote?
seriously, think about it.
