That's why in my company i would very much prefer hiring foreigners whenever it allows.....especially my previous experience of hiring singaporeans has not been that great.....and one should not blame boss for wanting a bigger cut of the profit either....simply put it....if u have what it takes...no one is stopping u from setting up ur company....u can always walk out of ur work place and start a bizness of ur own....anyway most likely some ppl will get offended reading this post.....
Don't ask why Singaporeans don't accept $800/month, while why allow FT to accept $800/month.

The problem is government even allow FT to compete in mid range job like admin and executives.
In Australia, they needed foreigner to fill in jobs which the local avoid, not becos the paid is too pathetic. Do u know plumber can earn few K a month? Even what previous post mention abt EU is low skill job rather than executive job. How can u claim its not government problem?
The plumber can earn few k a month?
Because they can make much more profit on their job for their boss and govenment, because some of them sometimes keep working 12hs/day for 31 day/month. Their salary is definitly not high compare to SGrean.
You should also admit that FT's contribute to SG while judge them. And believe that your GV are not stupit!
This fucking PAP govt is creating a hell of a labour market for Singaporeans.
Cost of living motherfucking high, let in fucking foreign aliens in to compete as cheap labour, than come and talk fucking cock say what locals whine about local choosy about fucking jobs.
It's your motherfucking job to create fucking jobs for locals to survive the fucking high cost of living you PAP mother fuckers.
Like that we vote for you PAP mother fuckers FOR FUCK?
Your fucking PAY HIGHEST IN THE WORLD FOR FUCK?
Fuck you PAP.
Fuck you PAP running dogs, only know how to suck PAP cock.
Fuck you Lee family.
Fuck you Lee Kuan Yew.
Fuck you all.
I like PAP ... i like all PAP ... they rocks ...

Hey, here’s an idea, why don’t I migrate to another country before migrating back. That will save me more time!

I dun think many countries wan angry and bitter whiners. Maybe you can try Malaysia. Bye.
I think that's what you get from the PAP MP if you go see them, they call you a whiner and tell you to get lost.
Then they tell you, if you not happy here move to Malaysia, Indonesia or Philippines.
So much for empathy from PAP MPs.
PAP can say whatever they want. I just say whatever I see.
Maybe folks should vote in more opposition that understand their predicament instead of MIW in white ivory towers.
More common folks to understand your common problems.
Like someone so aptly put it before - Life will kick you in the balls.
Singapore PRC PR Zhang Yuan Yuan Flashed Nric on Chinese TV and Proclaimed Loyalty to China Publicly.
Why singapore govt will want to mass import PRCs into singapore
1. Cheap labour , bring down cost of labour to attract more investment from foreigners
2. To further increase the chinese population and dilute the the races , chinese in sg birthrate is only 1.2 compared to another race which is 3+ ( u know who) , they are very worried about this increasing trend
3. If the PRCs chose to settle down here and become citizen , they will continue to vote for PAP in election as PAP are pro-foreigners
4. If the PRCs choose settle down here and continue to be PR , after working till 50 and beyond and F.O from our country , Singapore stand to reap the work they have contributed and the government don't have to take care of them when they are old
5. If they didn become PR or citizen at all , they are still contributing and helped to keep the cost of wage down ( those prc beer girl , road cleaners , construction worker etc )
6. When singapore population increase to say 6mil through mass migration, they earn more through tax and additional income ( electricity bills...phone bills...bus etc) as compared to when singapore native population is only 3mil
As you can see , it's a win-win-win-win-win situation for singapore govt as a whole , i have a better chance of winnning election , i have a better economy report card , i can earn more $$$
never forget the PAPs are a bunch of selfish people who only think of making more and more money , who cares about YOUR feeling? , how much per kg is your feeling worth compared to $$$$ and benefit i stand to reap if i mass import robots from PRC.

Bosses pressured pregnant employee to resign
Bosses told her to take a break - which she did not need
When customer service officer Joanne Ho, 33, discovered she was pregnant shortly after joining a well-known tourism-services firm last year, she told her bosses right away.
'I saw no reason to hide the news. I had a new job that I liked and was doing well,' she said, declining to reveal her salary.
But four months into her job, she was not confirmed.
When she asked about it, her bosses suggested she take a break - which she did not need.
But they persisted, putting pressure on her to resign, she said.
'I told them I would not resign because I had done my job well, but they could fire me if they were insistent.'
Her bosses took their time giving her a letter of termination, saying it could affect her career.
When she called the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) to check if she could complain, she was told that a termination letter was necessary.
After hounding the company for nearly a month after leaving work, the letter finally arrived, barely a day before the deadline to complain to MOM expired.
Pregnant women who feel they have been unfairly dismissed should file their complaints with the ministry within one month of their notification of dismissal for the ministry to take up their case.
During investigations by MOM, the company said that Ms Ho was not good at her job and did not improve despite being told verbally that her probation was being extended.
They repeated that when contacted by The Sunday Times.
But MOM found that the company failed to substantiate its claim that Ms Ho's performance was unsatisfactory and ordered it to pay her four months' salary as compensation.
The case dragged for nearly a year, partly because the company postponed appointments.
Now the mother of a one-year-old son, she insisted that there were no performance issues whatsoever.
She had e-mail from former clients praising her work, which she submitted to MOM.
She added that her immediate supervisor was also happy with her work.
'What I faced was bullying and sheer injustice,' said the housewife, who hopes to re-enter the workforce next year.
'And I fought not because I could get some money, but because I had done nothing wrong.'
