SINGAPOREAN keep complain for influx of foreigners and the government keep explaining them it's a must to maintain island state's dynamic economy until their throat become dry. But its people seem not satisfy and fully understand to these serial explanation. Does it mean Singaporean don't know how to grateful to those whom they owe for their tirelessly contribution? It's obvious that all foreigners are coming here with the prospect of earning more and raising their family's living standard by those famous money because Singapore has been greener and better opportunity compare to their native land. That's why they are willing to work all kind of blue-collar works that are sham by locals. They are happy to work OT while locals even don't want to imagine. Some of my friends need to work even 7 days a week.
No matter how hard work we are, the local see us their rivals who are taking their breads at workplace and schools. I see Singapore's market is much open to all internationals and policy is encouraging to all able person. They, locals, don't need to worry about losing job or missing opportunities as long as they are competent. I believe those who voice loudest are among the grass-root communities who has been less educated. If well educated people are so much concerned with the same matter, then I see there has been wrong with this tiny state. We, foreigners, clearly know that we must hard work for little wages compare to local. There is no choice but hard working to survive here.
If the wages is same, the work load would be likely double or triple, I am sure. Few days back, I read MM Lee's book in which there is one chapter regarding to foreign influx and side affect to local society. He's so much confident with the policy he seriously made with this issue. He seem don't care about the voice of laymen. Since he's an intelligent man, of course he has a thousand answer for a single question that is raised by few ST journalists in the interview. He explained that he know exactly what really concern to Singaporean with those immigrants.
The locals are blaming the government for competition of promotion and salary raise at the workplace. Also they are not happy when the childs of new immigrants are scoring top at school and they think of their own child are going to lose or face difficulties when the PRs students are taking those creams. Top of that, he highlighted that all local company's employers are given $300 subsidy amount for every Singaporean employee they employ. But they (employer) still prefer to keep foreign workers despite they have to pay levies for them. He stresses there might be a reason for taking this decision. The answer is already crystal clear why FTs are needed here.
They (bosses) all know that foreign workers are back bone of their business because the problems are mainly exist with locals usually. Why? Those locals people are jumping one after another if they are offered better packages. It show lack of loyalty and at one point just chasing for money rather than contribution their best to current one who help them when they are in need for jobs. You may not see the same situation among foreign workers. Other than that foreign worker are happy to work beyond normal working hours while locals afraid of it and they don't care how urgent is it when the time come to end of office hour.
The government is extraordinarily smart and they realize that they can't meet their objective of productivity without FTs / FWs. So they remain unchanged whenever there is some type of protest or voices out by some part of communities. It's not permanent problem that the public transport become crowded. The government keep upgrading their infra-structure work and most of foreign workers would return home by the time they are not wanted. We (FTs/ FWs) all know this very well are we are prepared for the day we would be kicked out of this island. But it's not fair to us to seeing them unwelcome to its visitors who came here to help build their home/ road/ gardens/ schools, etc.
We all are social animals and we all can feel those ill treatments. Why shouldn't we deserve their welcome while we are here to fill the void the locals left? We earn hard money and save as much as possible so that we can reunite with our loved ones behind. We know no other place is better than home. Nobody loves to stay away from the home land. We are here doesn't mean we are going to invade and taking the pie who is initially belong to you. If you think like that then you are dead wrong. May be some percentage of immigrant workers adore the environment of city state. Without a better opportunities, who will come and work here? It's normal and that's why brains are draining all over the world. It keep going and will continue in the future as long as the gap is large/ huge.
May all the locals understand the hard truth of foreign worker presence here with a temporary basis.
