My experience during my poly days industrial attachment:
those that i've seen certainly love OTs, but aren't very productive during normal working hours .... so when the production crunch comes and goods have to be delivered, the manager will have no choice but to schedule OTs ... I wonder if this is indirectly driving up production costs for Factories in Singapore, to be honest, the bunch of people with the best work ethics would be young malaysian men, the sort that lines up at the causeway at dawn every morning in their little honda scooters, hard working, conscientious, and don't mind getting their hands dirty at all .... if they had the paper qualifications to go along with their work ethics they would be very serious competition indeed ... it's a pity that they are constrained by their country's affirmative policies ....
I agree with you that the group with the best working ethics or attitude are the workers from malaysia
not much complaint, do their work as told....
seriously, foreign talents should be welcomed, but not to the detriment of the society..
