ChiefKiasu:

Funz, thank you for your contributions so far. You are telling the other side of the story, the reason why Singaporean employers need to hire foreign workers to run their operations. This is something that often gets lost in the debate against FTs. And it IS different coming from a real employer like yourself, than from the government trying to explain its policies.

Thank you Chief.

I find it scary that people only see one side of things. When in actual fact, it is multi faceted and any change to a single aspect affects the rest.

This thing about foreign workers is one of those. People only see competition from them but in truth, yes they may compete on some level but on many levels they compliment. And it is naive the demand that we only want the part that compliments but don't want the competition.

People cheered when WP won Aljunied GRC, the fact that GY will be gone if he lost was talked about from the beginning but people consoled themselves that it's ok, he will be ok. And when it really happened, petition to reinstate him? And when the Govt does not, talks about conspiracy to oust GY surfaces, etc. OK don't shoot me, I have nothing against the outcome of this election. I am just using this to illustrate that the result does not end with just WP winning and getting an alternative voice with all good things still remaining status quo. Oft times, there is a price to be paid we must then look really hard and ask ourselves if we are prepared to pay that price.

Ok said too much oredi. Gonna zip up before I step some bombs.

I completely agree with you. Thanks for clearing the landmines

friend's dh was at house when tenants moved out. everything okay and nothing was left behind cos all furniture furnishings including fridge, stoves etc belongs to tenants. so basically an empty shell.


went back a short time later and wow, window grills, pipes, kitchen sink, toilet bowls, towel bars, telephone lines/cables even bedrooms doors and frames all went missing. :scared:
