he tells you yu can sue, not as a group but as individuals although the group can contribute to the individual as a whole.

I really wouldn't bother. Will any singapore court judge dare to rule against DBS? Not if they value their careers.

Get real, accept foreigners
By Kimberly Spykerman
FOREIGNERS were the hot topic at a community dialogue session chaired by Law Minister K. Shanmugam at the Queenstown Community Centre yesterday together with five other Members of Parliament.
At the dialogue, which drew a crowd of about 250, comprising grassroots leaders, residents and students, Mr Shanmugam said Singaporeans must have 'a certain broad-mindedness and spirit of humanity' to welcome foreigners here.
This came as a response to a member of the audience who asked if the Government was too focused on economic growth which may compromise opportunities for locals here.
Such policies could only work to benefit Singaporeans, the minister said, citing major banks and multinational corporations as examples. 'As a major bank or corporation, you would want to put the best man possible. If Singapore says that man must be a Singaporean, what's going to happen? Either they won't come, or they will limit their operations.'
Emphasising the importance of 'symbiosis', Mr Shanmugam, who was on his first community walk-about outside his constituency since becoming Law Minister in May, said that Singaporeans stood to gain in terms of employment opportunities if these companies succeeded in their operations here.
He also tackled the prickly issue of the foreign worker dormitories in Serangoon Gardens, saying that Singaporeans needed to 'get real, and get practical', for the sake of national interest.
'Who builds our HDB flats? Who builds our roads? Can we even have our basic infrastructure without foreign workers? Which Singaporean wants to do it? Some jobs Singaporeans won't and can't do,' he quipped.
Another grouse brought up by the audience was the perception that local students were being denied places in the local universities due to the influx of foreign students and were being forced to go overseas instead.
Mr Shanmugam said the problem lies with the fact that Singaporean students all want to study certain courses such as law and medicine which have limited vacancies here.
Senior Minister of State for Education Lui Tuck Yew told the audience: 'They are actually offered places and their results are good enough, but it's not something they wish to pursue.'
When they do not get to study what they want to, they head abroad to do it.
For example, Mr Shanmugam pointed to how local law schools offer only 250 places but receive over 2,000 applications each year.
'We have plenty of places in engineering, but those who want to do law, medicine, architecture or business don't want to do engineering,' Mr Shanmugam said. 'So what happens? Our engineering places are then offered to the foreigners.'
Other bread-and-butter issues such as the hike in electricity tariffs and Electronic Road Pricing issues were also raised.
Mr Shanmugam said the ERP gantries were a 'necessary evil' and also said that electricity tariffs will be re-looked in next year's Budget.
