A discussion thread on Facebook about a Swiss lawyer’s comments on Singaporeans not being ‘entitled to jobs in their own country’ ended up in a heated exchange between a hotel director and some disgruntled Singaporeans who felt being marginalized by the increasing influx of foreigners.
Director of Quality of Fairmont Hotel and Resorts Brian Tan Cheow Eng argued that it is not the job of the government to protect the jobs of Singaporeans and bemoaned the poor quality of Singapore workers:
“If you do that in the private sector, no company would want to move here just to hire WEAK and LAZY Singaporeans
Mr Tan added that foreigners do a lot of jobs that ‘Singaporeans don’t want to do’ and asked Singaporeans to stop behaving like ‘babies’:
“Foreigners do a lot of jobs that Singaporeans don’t want to do. What’s the harm in that? In fact, some industries will collapse without foreigners….If we Singaporeans think we are so good, then don’t be afraid to compete for jobs with the best talent in the world. Come on, stop behaving like babies waiting to be spoon fed all the time!”
His comments sparked a massive furore among netizens who lampooning him for defending the foreigners, prompting him to issue a ‘clarification’ today stating that his words were ‘taken out of context’.
