Are we talking about Management level foreigners ????
If not , Yes most of them are paid peanuts , Why they come here ,
cos most of them cant find any jobs back in their country, or too
lowly paid untill they cant even support their family and put their
children in schools , also to add most of them are from poverty
striken kampongs and/or from 3rd world countries ...
Have you been to Philippines??? and been to their fast food
restaurants ??
Did you see a tag on their uniform , that says Hi im xxxx and i
have a degree in bla bla bla ...
And yes they are paid peanuts here but at least they get more money
here
Then back in their homeland . . . But why is it me and you are
debating ?? cos YOUr earlier post which you said ....

Don't anyone built or designate a makeshift shelter for
construction workers to rest during their meal breaks? Don't they
allow the workers to go for breaks in shifts or taking turns? On
the worker's part don't they know they are setting a bad impression
of the conutry where they are from?
Worse now as long as you see any construction sites you will see
them hogging like its their own country. They might have built them
but they don't own them. [End of Quote]
And im trying to tell you from my earlier post , that they dont
have much money for themself (after sending money home, Buying
breakfast,lunch,Dinner, spending money on calling home to their
love ones and other stuffs that they need}
So how do you expect them to keep themself occopied , other them
chilling with their mates over a bottle of beer and enjoying
themself.
And yes some of them do get drunk , but i dont see them disturding
us singaporeans , Maybe there are a few cases , Ever been to
kopitiams at nights ??? who do u see most of the time drunk
????
Ever been to clubs/pubs/lounge/ktv ???? Who do u more often see
lying on pavement , vomiting everywhere and a % of them getting
aggresive and picking fight ??? and they give trouble to who??? To
their own ppl (we singaporeans)
And you also mention about we ns boys , who spend 2yrs of our life
in bunks , and we can pull thru it ....
My question to u is , Do we have the option of going home and
sleep????
