Filipino professionals head to Singapore as tourists to seek jobs
This is allowed for foreign professionals; once hired, firms apply for work passes

By Amelia Tan

Mr Ramz came to Singapore in March as a tourist but his itinerary did not include visiting the Merlion, Universal Studios or Orchard Road.

Instead, the 29-year-old Filipino had only one goal: to find a job.

He would spend hours scouring employment websites every day, and often had only one meal a day to save money.

Finally, after about four months, he landed a job as a financial analyst at an offshore bank, drawing a monthly salary of $2,800.

$2800 at 29 year old is getting less than our 21-25 year old fresh grads for financial analyst job. No wonder they get employed.

But don't fret, these singing-dancing pinoys can provide entertainment during bank's annual Dinner and Dance ..... this is what they are really useful for.

what's new? i heard from a someone working in NEC, apparently, the jap pays the foreign indians more than the locals with the same qualification. i always think that nihon are blacks hidden in white skin, that's why they care for each other in a brotherly way.

That's also why they are reluctant to implement a minimum wage. Every one of these foreign monkeys who comes here and lands a job makes the business cronies and the middlemen industries (recruitment agencies) richer.

I wonder why the stupid offshore bank offered the singing-dancing pinoy a financial analyst job. Pinoy should do what they do best - sing, dance and do housework.

Financial analyst earning $2.8k? Gosh, no wonder only foreigners can take up such jobs. We are supposedly first world, yet employers pay like third world here.

Sinkapore is the only country in the world that foreigners can tell the immigration officer that you are here to look for work and they will say 'welcome to sinkapore' to them.

Say, what do you call a government which can go to this extent to replace the citizens to perpetuate one Familee's rule? Treacherous TRAITOR! Yet, the 60% still vote for them, even though they or their children are suffering because they fear change more than their own death! SGs are destined to misery and eventual extinction, simply because the majority of them have lost the courage to defend their own livelihood.

The 60.1% are the proverbial frogs in soup....
Pap turns up the heat slowly.....never scalding them so that they might jump out......but surely and slowly the dumbfucks they are cooked.
