Dear TR Emeritus,
Please see the below article featured in today’s Straits Times about how foreigners are coming into Singapore and then taking their own sweet time to look for a local job:
I did not know that our government actually allow such ridiculous things to happen and even grant such foreigners employment passes when they compete successfully with locals for a job. It is a shame that while other governments go all out to protect local employment, our PAP takes pride in offering jobs to foreigners with open arms and their official media seems to endorse and praise such a move! Our PAP and their disgustingly paid ministers have betrayed we Singaporeans… the very people that voted them in to victimize and abuse Singaporeans any way and every way they like! Excerpt from PAP’s official media, endorsing and praising PAP’s FT open arm policy:

(10 Mar) – BARELY a year ago, Ms Lisa Reta arrived in Singapore with only a suitcase in tow. She did not have a job, but she knew she wanted to be here, both to explore the region and to boost her career. “Being in a regional hub, you get greater exposure than you would in Australia or New Zealand,” the 29-year-old Kiwi said. “There are more opportunities here to get involved in large-scale projects.” So she spent two months on a social visit pass speaking to recruiters and waiting for a contract, while moving from friends’ rooms to a rental flat shared with other people. She finally landed a year-long contract job in marketing at a multinational financial firm, and has just had that contract renewed. Increasingly, expats like Ms Reta are no longer coming to Singapore on lavish packages. . . Mr Satish Bakhda, chief operating officer at recruitment consultancy Rikvin, said that he has been seeing more such young people coming from countries such as Britain, India and the Philippines.
