[h=2]How easy for FT with no qualifications to enter and work in S’pore[/h]
January 21st, 2013 | Author: Contributions
This is what happened to me:
I have a handicapped brother who is spastic, intellectually subnormal and also suffering from epilepsy. Two months ago, he managed to be married to a China woman. The marriage happened without my knowledge and I only found out about a month after their marriage was solemnized.
I subsequently met the woman who claimed to be divorced and has a son living in China. At the time when I met her, she was holding a tourist visa. She said she was introduced to my brother by her relative who is working in the construction industry here. I asked to see her divorce papers and her passport, but she refused to show me. This clearly is a marriage of convenience.
I then went to the police to make a report, but they told me that they can’t do anything and no report can be filed. I then called ICA and out of courtesy, they listened to my “complaint”. I also went to see my MP, who initially didn’t know what to do, but subsequently said that they would send a letter to ICA. It’s been more than a month since I did all that and there’s been no news of any progress or investigation.
Recently, I heard that she’s now working in Singapore. That’s your FT – someone without any paper qualifications can also work in Singapore. So I called ICA again and was told that I HAVE to furnish them with the exact location of her workplace before they are willing to do anything. Sadly, this is the state of Singapore now. Any foreigners willing to come, can stay and do as they like.
