In other countries, foreigners are only allowed to take up jobs
shunned by locals, but in Singapore, not only are they allowed to
compete directly with Singaporeans for jobs which can otherwise be
taken up by them, Singaporeans are now told by their supreme leader
Lee Kuan Yew that they will have to accept it.

Speaking during the South Asian Diaspora Convention two days
ago, Lee Kuan Yew was asked about the political implications of his
mass-immigration policies to which he replied:
“So you’ve got to accept the discomfort, which the local
citizens fear that they are competing unequally for jobs. (It)
cannot be helped.”
He also claimed that China is ‘easier’ to govern compared to
India as 90 percent of its people speaks the same language.
At 88 years of age, Lee Kuan Yew is the world’s oldest living
MP. Though he does not hold any ministerial posts in the Singapore
cabinet, he still has five full-time and part-time private and
press secretaries from the Prime Minister’s Office working for
him.
When asked if he will retire a year ago, Lee said:
“You work as long as you can work and you will be
healthier and happier for it. If you ask me to stop working all of
a sudden, I think I’ll just shrivel up, face the wall and just
that.”
While Singaporeans are forced to compete unequally with
foreigners, the PAP employs all kinds of dirty tactics to prevent
its political opponents from competing with it.
