My ex classmates, who is from Taiwan, Malaysia and china is
sneering at me but I can understand they are foreign talent and
singapore needs them.
They get the same treatment minus the NS and its only right else no
talent will come to our shore. We need to attract them, not scare
them with NS. Now they happily obtained PR though I served 2.5 yrs
NS on NS allowance, he is only obliged to serve out a three year
bond finding employment in Singapore. Thats the way it should
be.
When I finished NS, I came out and its the recession. Jobless for 6
mths, I did temp jobs which paid $5 hourly but I am happy they
already found a niche in some organisation as a Senior Executive.
Their future look bright but the same cannot be said for me. I just
feel so happy that I have such capable classmates.
Though they are not showing it and has no intention what so ever of
avoiding me, the class status when I am beside them is showing.
However, I take pride in that I am going back for RT 3 times a
week, protecting our foreign talent. At least I feel I am worth
something and its keeping my sanity.
Now they walk around orchard road with an air of confident and
smirking smile on their face. They even have singaporean
girlfriend. Although I am still single, I blame myself being
incompetence for unable to get a permanent job. I look like an
idiot to my ex classmates and they say if they has a chance, they
never want to stay and work here. I hope our Excellency, PM Lee
will try his best to keep them here as I feel FT should be
treasured.
