the reason these ladies from China can come here to work is about
costs.
same as some of the manual workers, they are more affordable.
why locals don't do it? simply, it can't pay the bills...
to be fair, who doesn't want a good paying job, in a nice
environment??
as for sg girls, I think their roles have moved. they aren't the
same as our mothers in that, they can fully concentrate on managing
the house.
Most of them need to work, in order to pay the bills and of course
raise the quality of life for the whole family..
In short, it is no longer a man dominated breadwinner
society..
Gals are doing their bit for the economy, and are earning good
salary and as a whole, benefits the whole family. On that note, it
is also unfair to expect gals after their work, to be a full time
housewife and mother.

it is true that gals are doing their bit for the economy, and are
earning good salary and as a whole,but lets not forget that they
have a significant time advantage to climb up the coporate ladder
as compared to men of the same age. the issue here however is not
abt ns, its abt the old societal pov formed by us sgporeans. men
generally, is the traditional breadwinner. u arent a man if u cant
bring home the bread. the cost and standard of living is also much
higher and younger people do not need to worry abt $$, solved by
parental scholarship. therefore, we, tend to be more pampered. not
mentioning the fact that girls do not serve ns and are treated like
gold. sg guys that cannot get local girls are perceived as losers.
if the povs and the attitudes do not change. this kind of situation
will stand as of it is now, probably mroe influx of foreign brides
will join in.
