Originally posted by Stevenson101:Well, unlike Gendaken, soul_rage and Araphoe i work in the lowly gaming industry that the government now is trying to hard to promote so let me share my experiences and potential problems i see with the skewed immigration policies our precious little government has created.
For one, the locals to foreigners ratio is badly off balanced. Out of an employee base of around 70-75 only about 10 are locals. Only 2 deals with the technical side of it, while the rest are artists (which i am one).
This means that it would be impossible for the local 3D animation and gaming industry to even gain strength here because our local talent base are strangled right from the get go.
It has become too easy for foreign companies to get a foreigner that has the relevant experience they want and escape any responsibility for training any locals to fill in the slots.
This isn't helped by the fact that the Ministry of Manpower considers PRs as a local for the local/foreigner ratio it demands for companies
I do agree that there should be equal competition in Singapore and i have learnt a great deal from my foreign colleagues.
But for new industries like 3D animation and gaming, very little people are going to have relevant experiences on their resumes. And why should the foreign companies bother if it's just so easy for them to use professional headhunters and get someone from Indonesia/China/Philippines/Malaysia to do the job?
It becomes a chicken and egg problem, since the locals have no experiences why hire them ? But if the locals are not hired and trained accordingly, their skills would never appeal to the foreign companies either, not when a replacement is so easily available.
The Bureaucrats also think a gaming industry only needs artists to support it. But it's a very complex operation because you need a strong technical base in order to develop for the PS3, XBox360 and MMORPGs.All the SPURs sponsorship they give are only low level stuff, only enough to churn out low level staffs.
Big corporations like LucaArts and Ubisoft come here to look for factory workers, they have very little interest in training mangerial materials, why bother when it is so easy to get them from their respective Western countries?
How could a new local industry grow when a Monopoly is already there before it could even take root?
I do not know what would be true fairness, but right now the balance is immensely skewed to point where locals are actually more troublesome to hire.
Thanks for sharing your side of the story.
I think on the FT subject, I should listen more than I speak as I have not gotten any first hand exposure of the situation.
For all people with some knowledge about this subject, can you enlighten me why the FT population has increased so rapidly in just a few years? Can anyone share some insights please?
Thank you very much!

A big chunk of your beef with why you're dissatisfied with Singapore seems to be the lack of things for you to spend on, i don't see how a small island like Singapore would ever satisfy your desire to experience.
And also, i'm guessing the paycheque you receive in America would be bigger than any you would get for the same job in pretty much any of the 1st World industrialized countries. How could Singapore possibly, even with a change in political system increase the wage levels to match what you're getting now ?
If I may add my opinion, our feelings change with respect to our stages in life, generally speaking. People who are in the 30's think differently from people in the 40's - the stage I am in.
I long to go home...

You may wish to view my post in the other thread that was titled - ‘Citizens constitute only 63% of Singapore’s population – Page 9’ (*1)
From the referenced statistics that I had posted, it was shocking to see the citizen numbers shrinking over two consecutive ten year periods 1989 - 1998, 1999 - 2008.
Was the increase all about injecting Foreign Talent for the economic vibrancy of Singapore ?
Or was it not an attempt to increase the population so as to boost the chances for the PAP to survive the Elections held every four years ?
A static population that has grown disenchanted with the PAP will surely sound the death knell for the PAP in a perfectly democratic election process.
Injecting a new element into a static equation, will boost the odds in favor of the PAP - as the new arrivals will take at least another two election cycles before becoming themselves to be similarly as disenchanted as the orignal lot of Singaporeans.
By then, there will be additional new arrivals to overwhelm the existing equation to further enhance the odds for the PAP.
This is the grand strategy of the complex political gerrymandering process made at different levels that the PAP had adopted to ensure their political survivability in Singapore's Politics.

What are you doing here?
As a Singapore expatriate to many cities and now China's Shanghai, I have been away for more than 20 years. In recent years, the urge to return home kept growing and I know I will return home the moment my project takes shape. To answer your question, I am here to gather information back home in order to keep myself abreast with the most current issues (other than the news - Channel News Asia that I watch daily) from the ground.
80% of the information here is nothing but crap. Totally agreed that most people here have nothing concrete to share, mere whinners basically. This is why I expressed my intention (in fact, decision) to leave this forum aside for a while, only to have some better/ good comments posted for me to answer. I just feel obligated to attend to the latter group - afterall, I own this thread and cannot be a cold host.
If only there is a filtering system so that only "qualified" forumers can post here. In this case, time wasting can be minimized, even for the whinners (as they can forget whinning in my thread and save the whinning time that otherwise could be spent on other threads).

Hi there Atobe, long time no see...
Yes I will read the thread as always. I had a hunch you would mention about the election as FT's are "neutral" to PAP's history.
Will comment on your views later...thank you. Good to see you again.

Aren't you also the same? For you its also every problem is caused by Singaporeans themselves, not the PAP
So whenever you point fingers at others, you are pointing back at yourself
So far, I have not seen you come up with a better discussion on the issues that were raised. All I see is that you are blindly defending Singapore, and you cannot discern between Singapore and the PAP.
But one thing is true, that I agree with you. A forum is for a place to discuss information and exchange views, and views can be taken seriously or not, depending on the context of the discussion, and the response of the forumer

To add on, the PAP has been lowering their standards of FT over the years. While we were more picky on who we import in the past, we are now importing people from all walks of life.
Their definition of FT has became blurred over the years, such that almost anyone who is from overseas is a FT.
There is not much control, anyone is free to come in and compete. As such, things become tougher for the average Singaporean.
Some people are able to excel and go beyond the foreigners, such that we are able to do better than them, and not worry about them. But this is not the case for the average guy on the streets.

Glad you notice that about him. He is a Malaysian, a PR here, thus I think he is not in good position to point fingers at Singaporeans.
Originally posted by Lionoasis:If you can believe me, our so called difference is not that big, we are just talking similar (not exactly the same) things from different angles.
I like the fact that you have earned your right to stay employed in the US - EARN is a key word. Despite the odds, you fight for your place, and similarly, even if discrimination is taking place in Singapore against its country men though sadly, I just hope some fellow citizens can do something about it. I have worked in the US too, as a door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman some 20 years ago. I earned my right to be an area rep, against local Americans. What you and I have put up, is something I hope to see amongst Singaporeans. You will realize, what I have come to realize, is again such fighting spirit is a rare commodity, and will ALWAYS remain a rare commodity.
I mentioned many of my views about the government in my thread titled "TOP 5 QUESTIONS YOU WANNA ASK THE GOVERNMENT", if you care, please read it.
Thank you for your comments to Miss-itman11111111, he was indeed out of order. And from the 6-7 posts that followed from him, and just a few minutes in between them, I know my message hit him good.
Yes, the term is EARN, not ENTITLED.
Some people think I am crazy to leave my career where I took a scholarship from, because they think I am nuts to give up the management track given to me. It's difficult to explain why I left, but I guess it's the above that can explain my reason.
I prefer others to view me as earning the right to be a manager, and NOT entitled to be a manager. And in that sort of career, no matter how hard you try to convince others you have the right, people will always perceive it as an entitlement.
I will read your other threads.
And as for some forumers, just ignore them when they make disparaging remarks. As sgdiehard said, when its rubbish, just ignore, no need to get yourself worked up over such comments.

Personally, my guess would be the baby boomer retirement wave.
That would explain why there's a need to increase CPF contributions and the increased obstacles being laid to avoid paying back the full CPF sum.
I would venture to guess that the CPF is pretty much an empty shell and is no longer capable of paying back the money it is obligated to return to the people thus the need to dramatically increase the amount of workers AKA CPF contributers.
Low population rate as a reason is pretty much bullshit, it takes 20+ years on average for a baby to grow to an age capable of contributing to the economy, it doesn't explain why there's such an urgent need for such a dramatic increase of population size (1.5million increase thus far)
It seems to me to offer the most complete answer.
Currently Social and Employment passes and subsequently PR are all awarded based only on CPF contribution amounts. Checks are not conducted on whether employers really pay the full amount in salaries.
That's why there was a news report on foreigners obtaining PR status even though they worked as waiters because they sacifice some of their salary to increase their CPF contributions, to give them the illusion of having a higher salary.

We can accuse the MIW of many things - insensitive, arrogant, power hungry ..etc.
But i do not find them stupid.
Thinking that the new foreigners would automatically support them seems too foolish a possibility. They are unknowns and no one could gurantee their support or loyalty, and if they are aggressive enough to abandon their homeland, ladened with debts to start over in a foreign land, hardly the docile sorts.
It has to be a gamble, but i am uncertain that the stakes would have been so obvious and so dependant on unknown factors.

Hi Atobe,
Read it and like it as usual...bravo. I had a funnyy feeling, after reading so much complaints in this forum (even from the very young) on our government. Granted, some people are just venting their frustrations (or is it too much homone), but I thought it was still a reflection of sentiments from a particular group of people. The new entrants will not be "badly influenced" by the real locals that soon.
There was another argument that surrounded the CPF, contributed by Stevenson, and I tend to concur. The aged population and CPF paydays are closely tied, just like the situation surrounding 401k in the US. Your views please?
Thanks.

Just like the US is facing 401k major payouts around the years 2013-2016, not a distant future from now. That paired with hefty healthcare costs, the never-ending war around the world (I would say one of the major diplomatic ploy by the US - and burning a BIG BIG hole in its economy), the over-reliance on oil, the US is facing MORE tough times ahead.
Does anyone have a stat to indicate the average age of Singapore residents after the influx of FT? What about the GDP per capita?

I commend you for leaving Singapore to explore new worlds, career wise. Very often, us, the seasoned expatriates in China, feel newbie expats to China lack the wide perspective needed to succeed in China (and possibly in other parts of the world). But the good thing is, after a few years, they expand their perspectives naturally and blend in well.
I will try to ignor the rubbish posts and wannabe's. Thanks. Just that I started this thread and sometimes feel obligated to say something to entertain "visitors" and sometimes feel the need to do "house cleaning"...
You could be right.

It is non of your business. Go on to defend his one track mind. He is forever finding faults with Singaporeans as a bloody PR in Singapore. We singaporeans don't need such a person who is not level headed to tell us. His motive is seriously questionable. So what is so great about defending him. Stop it, I don't need you to tell me. sgdiehard should instead focus all his attention on Malaysia and Malaysians and stop getting at Singaporeans.

gentleman!!put your petty immaterial differences aside and think where would u go when you flee singapore?!!

I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of bashing one guy's opinion for being a foreigner yet supporting gleefully that of other foreigners as long as it supports your personal standpoint.
If you don't like people to mind your business, then posting on your opinion freely on the internet where it could scrutinized seems contradicting.
Is accusing me to be a clone somehow supposed to silence my opinion?
