Dear Temasek Review,
I am a student from one of the three local universities. To increase my professional experience, I took on an additional internship.
Unfortunately, this turned out to be my worst nightmare. A Pakistani who is also a local university graduate put me through tremendous amount of verbal abuse. She was very impatient with my work performance and lambasted me for the work I delivered from time to time. Initially, I thought that was due to my lack of experience. But as soon as I realized that she is very patient with foreign co-workers, I knew this has something to do with my nationality than my professional experience or the quality of work delivered. The worst personal attack was made when she referred the natural chewing sounds I made as noises.
In a company with 70% of the staff being foreigners, I am not saddened by the fact that I am being bullied by this foreign FT. What worries me more would be the serious repercussions of PAP much misguided immigration policies. With the island filled with so many foreigners and our workplace dominated with an abnormally high number of foreigners, such workplace bullying will be more and more common.
P.S: the intent of this letter is to reflect the actual situation on the ground.
Thank you
Best Regards
.
