I NEVER think myself as a robber until I read one article that is circulating today. The article is about a foreign talent who cannot speak fluently despite designation is "account executive". This story begin once she sign up for a free English language class at a community club in Singapore. Unfortunately she entered into the trap and dramatically become a victim of this press. In my point of view, there is nothing wrong with her as she just wants to improve her language skill just like others. The problem is she is a migrant worker just like me who is also from the same source. I learned some from the side effect of this article and I'm writing now what I am feeling regarding to the story.
We both have few similarity between us, such as, S-pass holder, working as an office, possess a domestically recognized degree from a same country, etc. So I can't afford to ignore such a kind of article as the article is entitled with my country and she, my fellow citizen, is center of attention. As a consequence of this, there are so many comments, most of which goes against migrant workers and I am very much frustrated by reading them at all. I can't remember all exactly but generally is we are not welcomed as a white-collar works that is easily taken by locals. Why can't we do such a job if we are eligible to do so? Are we not a human being? Everybody wants to get a better job as long as it's reachable.
Some S'porean come with strong comments that might suffer to all foreign workers who are coming and working not only their own benefit but also them. Despite they are mainly attention to a certain jobs under a sudden industries in which they are willing to work. Actually being immigrant workers, we are not supposed to choose where to work and at some point we need to shift according to the desire of employer. Only few % of ours can pursue in what they want to work in real life. However some people can get the jobs exactly what they want and it's happened coincidentally. This type of migrant workers proportion would be insignificant number I dare to say.
At one point, they, Singaporean, accuse foreign workers seriously as once they see one foreign worker mean one of S'porean's job has been robbed. It's look like unfair to us. We are also human being just like locals and of course we are improving by experience and looking for a better job for a better life. They seems forget that and they always would like to see us as a under-dog. Everybody has a right to enhance their chance of becoming a better person who can able to work at the better place. In this global world, people with a such attitude are so pity and their words of mouth show how poor their mentality. Furthermore they are probably the lower standard education people. Because it's obvious they don't need to worry about their job losing as long as they are well prepared and competent people.
Concerning in small matter means their level are not match with a citizen of first world country that is label to Singapore by themselves. I don't know whether Sg is one of first world country or not. Probably it's true and I would like to remind that the character of citizens also should raise to match the development of a country. In fact I am seeing so many sign boards that is similar to a third world countries's manner. Some people, on the other hand, come out with a horrible idea that suggest to increase the living cost of foreign workers to 100% to 300% by discussing among their fellow citizens. What a stupid idea to have like that? It's ok if they don't want to support to other's business, but it's offence to do such a manner in a law-governing country. It show how bad is the character of this country. Such a kind of people will damage/ spoil the image of Singapore among world's society.
In fact, we all are not happying in staying here and working here. I am sure most of us are not meant to work here for life as they thought. Once we have gained some experience and money, we will go back our home land. We are temporarily working here, not shelter like a refugee. We are contributing by working in some areas that are shun by locals. We are filling all voids that are left behind by locals. As they are facing some risks like they thought, on the other hand, we are also facing our own risks. We mostly come here through agent and paid fees and accept all risks that are awaiting for us in future. Nobody take all incoming liability for things that goes wrong including our life risk. I have been experience in life cost accidents in my past oversea experience. Who is taking responsibility for that if come to us? We ourselves take it, right? At the end of the day, our family welcome back whatever situation is.
Some people come out with alternative ideas that is pointing out their own government's policies that can loose the rule and open door wider than it is supposed to be. In fact, their govt is not a stupid one and they might have been think from all angles in order to prevent their own people's benefit. If the Singapore govt is not good enough, then their people won't deserve today they are. But they are still seeking weak point of their own govt's policy when things went wrong. Human can make mistake including them, they may forget that. Anyway it's non of our business and what we need to pay attention is to focus on our own jobs and keep as long as our employer and this govt need us. We shouldn't care about the words of stupid people who are afraid of competition in this global world.
They dare to say their country is first world country while their character is lower than even third world country. Wondering if Singapore can stand itself without foreign workers. The answer is as simple as ABC. Their own govt leaders frequently highlight this regarding to the maintaining of FTs. Basically we can't survive here if we are not good enough to work here. This say able to work in Singapore mean we are as good as locals unless even we are better than them. Moreover boss are not stupid men and they know how to handle it in respect of their own benefit. Let me remind Mr and Mrs Singaporean that we'll go back home when the time come right. We are not from a tiny island state that has no natural resource. We are coming from a big country that has very long history and rich in natural resources. We are proud of our country despite our system is among worst in world. Hopefully this year election can change our country's future and effectively impact to our lives. Wish to show how hospitality of our people are when you come and invest in my country by the time my country reform democratic and going on the right track.
Thank you for allowing us to work here with a temporary pass.
