Hmm, Yeah Foreigners.. are gg to form a large fabric of our
society man. CHee, like the latest census stated that there are
like about 1million Foreign folks in Singapore as of 2006.
I guess SG has to import FX labor and talent to complement and
maintain economy's growth. Just look at the European Union, heh,
they are considering the launch of their Blue card system ( similar
to the green card system in the U.S) to hire FX talent to come and
work in any EU states.
the only issue i have is.. Well.. Those FX talents (From Asean
countries) come in to SG, are willing to take low pay, and in the
process undercut us and companies hire them instead?.. Hmm Oh well.
another issue is.. Who ascertains that they are indeed talents?
Sure they have their Masters or bachelor's degree, but it's merely
paper quaifications and most likely it could be forged (nobody will
know right?). But how they perform on the Job is really crucial. I
think there shd be a probation period, where if they under-perform,
they should be deported back home.. lar.
For the record, If you meet an Indian expatriate from India who
says that he is a Master's graduate frm INdia, please do not be too
overly impressed because there are scores of Universities in India
offering Master degree programs at damn cheap prices and their
entry requirements are really dubious and i would say sub standard
ba.
Then you look at Republic Food court, which decided to replace all
the old dish collector aunties with sweet young gals from China,
hmm this is the 1st sign of such.. low level jobs being taken away
from the low income Singaporean workers. If you noticed, there are
also increasingly a large presence of really beautiful PRC ladies
working as toilet cleaners in shopping malls now. Hmm So yeah.. you
can say.. On all fronts (white collar jobs) and (low level jobs)
are increasingly colonised by .. Fx talents..
