I know you are more enlightened than many.
Many just say, oh, FT ah, FT no choice wan lah. Its like that wan lah.
What to do?
Boh pian wan.
There is a world of difference between allowing FT who is of market value 2.5K to enter easily and controlling to allow real talents that will help poreans get more jobs and increase our skills by learning from them.
to lower costs, MNCs all hiring FTs for IT such that its common to see majority in IT are not citizens. IT skills are easy entry and not difficult to learn to do. 1 month course more than sufficient to get certified. Not like scientists who are talents and rare. That is true talent that will complement poreans and pore economy.
Many Job agents are FT firms. they supply their own. The employees bring their familty tree along. Easy to get long term stay and zenship.
There are many FT Job agents who setup their own FT job agencies getting poreans to be shipped abroad to do IT projects overseas like USA or europe. After they got your CV, your company name and department, they prepare to give this info to other agents or they themselves supply your company a replacement - you know who. More and more locals have disappeared. I see FTs dominate IT. Their skills are certainly not rocket science to be called a real Talent. Its a skill that can be learnt in a few weeks. Talents are geniuses. They generate their own IP.
I am not against welcoming true FTs who will complement the pore.
I hope with time , naive poreans will be close to extinction.
The pore is unlike large countries. Its tiny and so few people. Educating them should not take long.
I hope we help to educate people we know.

"It was never the problem with FT, but problem with policy to help people stay employed."
