HMMM,,,,the busy days has come and gone.....It's inevitable that I have to settle all messy things at least once a month. If things get worse, I would get an abusive things to be done. Sound strange for you? Yes you'll never understand unless you have been working in a more developed country than your own land. Being underdogs, we can't imagine a fair treatment from our colleagues. Some are fair and kind enough while others are abusive. That's the way we have to come across as long as we need to work oversea. Unfortunately, we, FWs, are never welcomed by locals. It's usual that we can read such news on local papers. Last week, there was a head line news surfaced related to foreign workers.
One employment agency advertised as it is. The advertisement mentioned that "Jobs only for PRs and employment pass holders". Meaning the Singaporean are needless to apply for the job. There is no mention what kind of job offer is. The problem begin by the time a local man saw it and pass it to a minister. Then minister notice through the complaint letter and issue warning to the agency which advertise those offensive page. It became hot news for a week and drew a lot people's attention mostly negative way. One said "what a dare agency to advertise like that?" Another said, "if one agency can do, other would follow". Someone told that "I don't think there is such dare agency in any other country in the world". I can't remember all comments but it all come to attack ruling party, PAP. Let it be as this is their business and the way they see their life.
Being a FW myself, it's common and usual to see job advertisement on the paper like that in favour of SCs and SPRs. Most of job advertisements used to end with a sentence read "Only for Singaporean or Singapore Permanent Resident". Sometime, alternatively we can read sentence with different words that "Foreigner need not APPLY". At worst case, I find an advertisement painfully that read "No Myanmar citizen need apply". What an abusive media by letting such advertisement? But we, being underdog, keep quiet and never complain for that despite we, all fellow citizens, are not happy. I don't know what is island state's foreign worker policy exactly. But I know they always protect the benefit of its people. However, we strangely witness that Singaporean still seem unsatisfy with their government's effort.
Probably this agency is foreign drive or carelessly advertised like that. But for sure is it's a rare case and hard to find once a year. I would like the locals to sympathize the feeling of FW, when they see the same advertisement with effectively bars their counterparts from other countries. We all are human being and able to sense feeling. Please do not think you all alone able to be sensitive when things goes wrong against your usual way. Imagine as if you are a FTs who intend to work more developed country in this lonely planet. Then you'll find an answer without necessarily asking somebody else.
May all have a fair ground when it come to competition regardless of race, religious and language. I hope this kind of sentence is no longer strange with all locals as their national song has such notes. Try to improve your ability and rely on your own, not your country. Then you'll never feel insecure with regard to your job. Trust in me.
