there is a shoes store in the
Jurong market run by a family from China Putians that we frequented
given us a real story here: the Putian/Hokkien mother/owner of the
store's daughter age 23 after graduated from SG POLY interior
design course worked 6 months in the same industry with many long
hours OT..for S$1,600/mth salary.. upon advise by her relatives
from Fujian,she applied a counter staff job in the Bank of China
here in SG to beat other SG candidates without the Fujian speaking
background easily n got the job which pays her S$3100/mth, her
mother is so happy to tell this real ordeal to her customers.. Dear
SingaPOOReans..do u c the moral of the story here...?
The moral of the story is that the no dialect policy is wrong!!
you want to work for banks dealing with Indonesian you have
advantage if you speak Bahasa, if you work for BNP and you speak
French, wow, you will be the blue eye boy !!
You can insist on english, or singlish only if you are in this
little red dot, once you deal with anything outside of Singapore,
you are really singaPOORean..
