MORE than eight in 10 Singaporeans feel the country needs foreigners, but mostly to do jobs that Singaporeans do not want to do.
At the same time, fewer than four in 10 believe they are needed here because Singapore has more jobs than workers.
Overwhelmingly, those polled say they accept foreigners being allowed in to work - but at a slower pace.
When asked why locals and foreigners do not get along, almost seven out of 10 ranked 'over-crowding on public transport and common spaces' as a top reason.
