Singapore..., a land of foriegners!
-
Here is how i felt being a Singaporean.
When i started joinning this ABC company in Kallang Area, the person who interviewed me is a Malaysian HR lady.Her assistant is a Malaysian too.
After i landed on the job, i was under my superior who was a Singaporean.At last a local.I walk around and saw all the operators were either from China or Malaysia, Burma.The engineers were mostly from the Philipines and only two from Singapore who were also not a true local but a PR converted local.
And, the rest from Indonesia.
The M.S mostly Philipines too.Only one were locals.The rest from Malaysia.
Then the toliet cleaners..., from Sri Laka.And, the secrurity guards, from Malaysia too.
When i went back home, i often encounter China peoples be it inside the bus or when i take the lift.And, also alot of Philipines seems to land here in Singapore recently.
I wonder if i am living in a foriegn land or my own motherland sometimes.
This is really sickening because aint this supposed to be my own country???

It only happens at your working area/kallang becos that's meant to be an industrial area. Certain industries will requires more forwign workers as Singaporeans shun these industries becos of the long working hours. If you go to places likes town areas, the proporation of singaporeans workers are far more than the foreigners.

Foreign talents ma... never see before or just appalled by the numbers ?
You're lucky the job didnt go to another 1

Next time we will have Little Sri Lanka, Little Philippines, Little Burma, Little Indonesia, etc.
Small little enclaves for the citizens of other countries to congregate.
Can't blame them for coming in here to work, after all government approves of them coming in here. -
Yes, the govt allow and encourage them to come. Even in HDB flats you see many of them around. Yesterday, a foreign couple stood outside my unit and asked if we have any room for rental.Originally posted by maurizio13:Next time we will have Little Sri Lanka, Little Philippines, Little Burma, Little Indonesia, etc.

Next time they won't say our "Singaporean lifestyle" anymore, have to make amendments for China, Indian, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam.Originally posted by qlqq9:Yes, the govt allow and encourage them to come.

This is good because Singapore started out as a land for foreigners too. We are going back to our immigrant roots again. Great success!

ha that way we will help them to settle down here. May be he will want us to learn their languages to communicate with them. so engage in bootlicking the foreigners.Originally posted by maurizio13:Next time they won't say our "Singaporean lifestyle" anymore, have to make amendments for China, Indian, Sri Lanka, Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam. -

we are a global place. Some of our MPs are also malaysians. hey, our ancestors who landed in Spore were also once foreigners. We should consider ourselves as earthlings. The whole earth belongs to us. Why should we limit ourselves and be divided into different countries? There are only 2 worlds : life and death (the underworld).

saddening..

In that case,it would be an even greater success if Ang Moh take over our PAP leaders rules.Originally posted by Mat Toro:This is good because Singapore started out as a land for foreigners too. We are going back to our immigrant roots again. Great success! -

You mean, going backwards is success?Originally posted by Mat Toro:This is good because Singapore started out as a land for foreigners too. We are going back to our immigrant roots again. Great success! -
I tell you... all this, has its repercussions...
And its gonna come just like the Low Birth Rate issue...
it may be something like; Too Few Locals in Singapore, Foreigners Come and Go but Few Took To Citizenship....
And then what? A new move or policy by the 'clever' government to woo Singaporeans back?
hehehehe... I think it is very likely.... -
Look at it this way, weren't you lucky the Malaysian lady recruited you instead of accepting another Malaysian?Originally posted by joola74:Here is how i felt being a Singaporean.

Aren't you happy that ALL the operators were foreigners and no local singaporeans need to work as operators? under you?
Aren't you glad that it was Foreigners who are security guards, toilet cleaners, and not Singaporean?
If your boss is a Singapore, and the rest under you all foreigners, don't you feel proud Singaporean are in control, or you need to see yourself controlling Singaporean operators, Singaporean toilet cleaners, Singaporean security guards, then you are happy, not sick?
Is the house you live in your own house, never mind about the people outside. Just make sure that your father would not employ a philippino or indonesian maid in the house, or your brother would not marry a malaysian lady, then the foreigners would be right inside your house, what are you going to do?
Looking at your situation, if you feel sick of foreigners, it is your mindset problem. If you were to work in an MNC, and you find that you are the lowest pay, the lowest rank, the rest all expats from US or Uk, then you can start complaining.
