Similar to Jim Rogers opinion in 'should you move to Singapore' interview:
People have tried to close foreigners out, but it usually ends in bankruptcy and other problems. North Korea and Cuba have done that, and it doesn't work.

Sorry, please don’t attack me, I am just giving a little opinion…


I always hear from govt that if we don’t have foreign talent, our economy will suffer. But I always think to myself, why must we have foreign talent then our economy will not suffer? I am not taking abt the waiter or the construction worker or the cleaner etc, the jobs that sporean don’t wan to do.
I am referring to jobs like IT, Engineering, banking, accountancy, administrative etc, all the executive jobs which we ourself dying to do. But yet foreign talent are engage to do and according to govt, our country need them… Sounds abt illogical to me since we ourselves also wanna do… I know our asking pay is more than them. But it’s becoz our standard leaving here is high. It’s not like I work 2 yrs already I can go bac to build house, buy land etc.
I can’t since I am a sporean so naturally my expected pay is high. The things here are getting expensive. Flats, cars, food, education. So if I don’t expect a high pay how to survive.

Sorry for the grudges as recently my job is being replace by a Foreigner from thailand and i know i may be terminated anytime despite working free OT everyday. She told me she is applying PR now. Her pay is abt 1k lower than me but coz she is foreigner company no need to pay cpf for her.
And my best friend also got retrench by her bank last wk. 100+ of them and she told me her jobs will be covered by PR too, newly converted PR. Not those PR who has been here for decades. To me, PR who has been here for decades is already one of us, especially those from msians. Somehow i don’t really feel that they are outsiders.

Haiz… I dunno am I and my best frn the only unlucky people in Singapore or this is common and we just have to accept this fate. Somemore heard that out there alot of companies retrenching, so I can only wait to be terminated, and hopefully get some retrenchment benefits. Then be a stay home mum.

To me if these PR or foreigners are really good in a particular field, or technology and certain skill which our people don’t have,then by all means they are welcome coz we need those special skills. Or foreign company are here to set up companies and they need to bring in their own pp, to me, it’s also fine. It’s common to see jap companies employing their own Japan pp to be mgt staffs.
But if its a local company and they get foreigners to do the same thing as us, and it’s not as if they can do faster or more efficient than us. It’s still the same. Then why are they favored over us?? Anyway, govt is still granting work permit like no one business. If they don’t control, I really worry…

Thanks for reading my grudges.
Hope I didn’t use any offensive words coz I really don’t wish to be suddenly attack for using wrong words. I know there is alot of PR in this thread but I hope you can understand how I feel.
