For info, many Malaysian registered companies here in Singapore,
then went to China and overseas, boasted to clients they were
actually true Singaporean branded companies with Singaporean
quality and values. Even they came here to learn our own branded
Bah-Ku-Teh, Hainan Chicken Rice and Laksa (really Singapore styles
and not Malaysian styles) and started restaurants inside China,
then all their shops put Singapore names, told the Mainland Chinese
their bosses were Singaporeans, actually Singapore Permanent
Residents. Why I knew?? I asked China waiter to call his boss
out and spoke to him. Later I found his Malaysian-slang Chinese
language and he knew I was true Singaporean, he immediately kept
quiet and said no more.
Our Singapore brands were very famous and well-known in Mainland
China but many Malaysians and also HongKies copied our products,
lied to Chinese customers their products were truly Singapore
brand. And their bosses were Singaporeans. (PR la!!)
Our government does not know??? They knew but could not do
anything that was why more and more Malaysian Chinese came here to
be bosses and became S'poreans.
So not only we need to compete with Foreign Talent for jobs, we
also compete with Foreign Bosses for business, where is the
Singaporean PRIDE??? You buy and eat the Chicken Rice and Laksa in
China, actually cooked by Malaysians and HongKies, do you feel
proud your national products marketing by foreigners in
overseas???
