Well.. Just like how the government explains, in order for
improvement, we have to import foreign talent to bring in fresh
ideas to aid out development. However I feel that the line was not
clearly drawn here.
With the above as the main reason, why do we still see expatriates
here in company positions which can be easily replaced by any of
our locals? And more often than not, we are paying them much more
than we pay our own people who do exactly the same job as them.
Shouldn't the government tighten work permit guidelines so as to
prevent this from happening?
With unemployment rates still up, the last thing we need is
expatriates filling up job vacancies which many sole breadwinners
of families are fighting so dearly to obtain.
Don't get me wrong, I feel that expatriates coming in do give the
entire industries in Singapore a push, but I hope that there are
serious measures to ensure that these personnel are here for that
sole purpose.
