[h=2]Does SG have secret deals with other countries to import
FTs?[/h]

Dear Readers,
I often hear India engineers colleagues say they have the Personalised
Employment Passs, and the young foreign recruits having PR (so fast after
graduation from NUS?), Caucasian colleagues having E-Pass, and my foremen,
electricians and drivers having S-pass.
My Singaporean colleagues make up only 15% of the company workforce.
The PR India engineers stays in Spore, bought resale HDB, rent it out at
$2,000/mth, and bought a Condo. They travel daily to Batam, while their wife
collect rents and have allowances from company to support their mortgage for the
Condo. Their children go to International schools (paid by company), they drive
cars (now you know why the roads are congested, COE high?) and the Indian Hiring
Mgr will hire Indian nationals over Singaporeans.
All these while, they are issued with PR, EP, SP and PEP (earn $34,000
annually salary)? Now I know why all my Singaporean engineers earning $5,000/mth
($60,000 annually) were terminated from their jobs.
The govt likes to say that if we prevent FT from working here, companies will
close down. It is not substantiated, and no research on this. But my experience
tells me that these companies will move with the times, and hire more
Singaporeans once they have a quota to meet. This is the same in other countries
where hiring local content is mandatory, or show cause. Or is the govt have a
secret bilateral deal with these countries?
