Is it really necessary to hire citizens at all?

The PR's sons (if also PR) need to serve NS too

To Eagle,
If you want, I can proof what I said.
One thing for sure, of the FTs know,
majority does not like the price of flats and cars here and also the work-life-balance or imbalance. -
take my PR colleague example.Originally posted by eagle:The PR's sons (if also PR) need to serve NS too
His children are around 4-6 years old for the 2 child.
They still have at least 12 to 14 years to decide.
By then, MY could have presented opportunities to retract him back.
Meanwhile, there is no need to convert to citizen.
The mother is a citizen can already.
his child will also compete for seats in the schools with local children.
enjoy.
You deserve it. -
Correct, second generation PR like I already served full time NS but as for those who have not served, they need to make a decision before reachingOriginally posted by eagle:The PR's sons (if also PR) need to serve NS too
18 whether to serve or if they chose not to serve, they will need to give up their PR. -
if you want to refer to price of flats and cars here, if Singaporeans cannot take it already, how can foreigners even take it?Originally posted by reddressman:To Eagle,

I wouldn't refer them as FTs (for those around my age). To me, most are just cannot-make-it people. Many Singaporeans I know can easily thrash those so called scholars in terms of work ethics, conversation, EQ, IQ, etc...
And I wouldn't ask you to go do something that I would be too lazy to do if I made the same claim as you. The fact is, the 'majority' that you said, what is the percentage of all foreigners (or FTs) of your 'majority' in Singapore? Furthermore, one would most likely take note of those that complained. Those that do not think there is any need to complain at all, be it too lazy to or just like the place here, would of course not be heard. -
18 years can accumulate hundreds of thousands if not millions more of PRs.Originally posted by will4:Correct, second generation PR like I already served full time NS but as for those who have not served, they need to make a decision before reaching

They would have occupied so many of locals jobs.
And yes, you are right, generally FTs are not the Rare talents like professors , inventors and nobel laurettes. They are just like you and me, with common skills worth 2000 or 2500 or above.
I think the word 'TALENT' has been less than ideally used. -
Generally speaking, PR working in here can save money to buy houses in Malaysia or other neighbouring countries, somemore landed property.Originally posted by reddressman:18 years can accumulate hundreds of thousands if not millions more of PRs.

What is the count of PRs as of now?
Anyone capable of revealing this?
And how many humans you see are really citizens and not PRs, FT, tourists, Workpermit workers from abroad? -
Wah len eh....knows ah?

1st world in terms of facilities....Originally posted by Coquitlam:Where I have gone to, they treat PRs and citizens the same except PRs cannot hold political office and vote and I think that's perfectly reasonable....
Sillypore has a long way to go to being 1st world....like what someone said before, Sillypore is only 1st world in terms of facilities but 3rd world in terms of their attitude towards foreigners and all the apathy, kiasuism...how pathetic....but its going to be like that for a long time to come, thanks to the MIW
acturely,
china is also 1st world in terms of facilities, IF you selectively consider the various types and aspects of world class facilities they have been using.
Sg is so tiny even at city size level. its not as difficult to have nice infra and make available facilities to most people here , COMPARED to truely large countries. But this does not mean truely large countries where facilities is not covered in 100% of its land area is not 1st world in facilities.
Take india for example. it also has satellites, maybe technologically advanced weapon systems, world class computer centers, world class facilities. But may not be available in all of india. china, the same.
facilities is bought by money also.
Its easy to buy top end notebooks & internet facilities for a small class of 10 students compared to buying top end notebooks & facilities for a large class of say, 100 million students. But this does not mean the large class does not have world class facilities.
i pray no one is ignorant.
