I’ve always heard that the jobs that Singaporeans don’t want to do go to foreigners. And for a few years I actually bought that story.
That was till I found these foreigners slowly moving from the so-called “dirty” jobs to more advanced professions in the lot of industries and starting to replace us “highly expectant” Singaporeans.
The cost of living is rising year after year, but our wages have been getting lower. The reason given by the Government and companies is that its to make Singapore attractive for foreign investors.
Now, lowering the wages of locals makes it difficult for them to survive based on the cost of living in Singapore. But the hiring of foreigners is cheaper in all aspects because they only expect a pay based on the cost of living in their homeland.
Companies don’t care about the welfare of workers, they only care about the profit. Neither the government nor so-called trade unions like NTUC care either.
As a result, these foreigners have indirectly pissed in our rice bowl and they garnish it with excrement when they leave this country for another like Australia, US, Canada and so on for better standards of living – while we have to put up with the job market they have spoilt and carry on with our miserable lives.
A recent development at my workplace is a good example of what I mean. Apparently there is going to be an “elite squad” of foreigners who will be the high techincians in our department.
Let me tell you, I work in a GLC and I’m not in the rocket science department. Before I got this job hokkein speaking uncles have been working in my job scope for donkey years. Every Singaporean in my department knows that we don’t need foreign talent for this!
There are these 2 guys attached to one of my colleagues for the past few weeks getting trained in my department. Aren’t foreign talents supposed to have “talents” from the start? Why do we have to train them to become talents?
If we took Ahmad, Yong Heng and Ramesh off the streets and gave them the special training these foreigners are getting, I’m sure they would be talents too!
Why isn’t this happening and why wasn’t the job vacancy in my department made known to the public? Why are more foreigners getting employed in a huge Singapore-based GLC? From what I gather, this is not the only company in which such things are happening.
If it’s a Singapore-based GLC then the government surely has shares in it. Why isn’t anything being done?
While we give up 2 years of our precious youth in the name of National Service, the Singapore government is pimping this country, making Singapore spread its legs for foreigners who care nothing for Singapore or Singaporeans.
Well, the pimp gets paid, but Singapore and its citizens just have to get used day in and day out by these foreigners. Giving them jobs and special training so that they can use Singapore as a stepping stone.
The country I had once sworn to protect is now nothing but a cheap whore. Doesn’t it feel good about your place as a citizen of Singapore?
NS FOR SINGAPOREANS! JOBS FOR FOREIGNERS!
