fishbuff;644970] "it is a weird setup in sg, and it seems that there is a lack of support for local staffs. what are all these inverse-racists, if there is such term for it, that permeate thru the civil sector?"
Fishbuff, the Cantonese has a saying for this "local ginger is not hot".....Singapore always think FT is better.
A middle aged single lady (age 32) who works as a registration clerk and cashier for the past 5 years in one of the Singapore's govt medical establishment wrote me that there are more and more Pinyons in the medical field and some are outright arrogant.
In her dept, there is a Pinyon younger lady and she is allowed to switch jobs within the whole office to test her own preferences and yet this true-blue Singaporean lady and her other Singapore colleagues do not have such choices. Their Singaporean supervisor do not even give them any reason for turning down their request for posting to other dept.
She wrote, she cries often when seeing old people who are on wheel chairs waiting for medical treatments. At many a times, some of them even beg not to go through all those testings because they simply cannot afford to pay.
Then the doctors would pressure her and her colleagues to push through appointments for full fee paying and foreign patients because they can pay the full fee.
I believe this is a reflective of Singapore in specific.
I just hope this single lady could some day immgrate out of Singapore.....she has been upgrading in all types of courses but it seems they do not lead to any reconized qualifications to be score enough points to immigrate to any western country. Perphaps, one day, Singaporeans in her category, might consider immigrating to China or even North Korea.
Sad
