without any shadow of a doubt.
they say some singaporeans shun certain jobs like construction. I may give it to them on this, but some office jobs no need foreigners what. I am sure singaporeans do not shun office work like admin assistants, accountants, call centre staff etc.
you know why some companies hire foreigners? cos their pay is very much cheaper than singaporeans, and is on a long contract, so the company saved a lot on wages. I am sure the government is well aware of this loophole, taken advantage by the companies. I know of a company who hire foreign customer service staff who is on a 5 years contract. they usually worked from 8.30am to 8.30pm, mondays to fridays, and saturdays from 8.30am to 1pm.
