Let me clarify. I think
there is mis-understanding here.
Yes, I agree that we need people from outside Singapore to come
to Singapore to work.
No, I do not agree that we should let people from outside
Singapore come here to take away our jobs.
Like it or not, I think in Singapore, the number of manpower we
need is greater than the number of local population available to
work.
After we employ all of the local population available to work,
we still need to hire people from outside Singapore, to make up for
the number of manpower that we need but still lack of.
(by the way, I thought now there is already some kind of
practice, that there is a limit in how many percent of foreigners a
company can hire? if the Small and Medium Enterprises are
experiencing a shortage of manpower as a result, maybe we should
increase the percentage)
If I am not wrong, currently, a large proportion of the people
from outside Singapore comes from outside South-East Asia. I guess
the reason why many of us are not comfortable is because of the
difference in culture, because we come from different parts of the
world.
That is why, I suggest that we reduce the intake of people from
outside South-East Asia, while increase the intake of people from
within South-East Asia, if we have to hire people from outside
Singapore.
If a large proportion of the people from outside Singapore are
from the neighbouring countries, maybe many of us would be more
comfortable. I assume that since we come from the same part of the
world, we share the same culture. Hence, we are more willing to
accept people from outside Singapore to come to Singapore, to work
with us.
Well, this is only a suggestion.
You being a SIMPLETON does not help at all.
Till your rice bowl is taken away from any of the people from
those countries you mentioned , don't come here cry father cry
mother.
By the way, you sound very much from the 70%.
