Tay Ping Hui defends Singaporeans: We are not asking for ‘doors’ to be closed entirely
MediaCorp celebrity and Young PAP member Tay Ping Hui has spoken up again on the behalf of Singaporeans against the uncontrolled influx of foreigners into Singapore.
Despite the rising concerns among Singaporeans that they will soon be ‘squeezed out’ by the newcomers, Deputy Prime Minister Tharman insisted that Singapore must remain ‘OPEN’ to ‘foreign talents’ or risked having their competitiveness decreased as foreigners help create jobs for Singaporeans.
However, Ping Hui felt it is important to know who actually get the jobs. In a post on his Twitter, he wrote:
“When talking about job creation, It is not just about how many jobs r created. It is about what kind of jobs & who actually get those jobs.”
He also expressed a sentiment felt by many Singaporeans:
“Singaporeans r not asking to closed doors entirely. They r asking for d doors be opened only to those who truly deserve to enter our home.”
With the lines between Singaporeans and foreigners getting increasingly blurred, it is now difficult to judge who truly deserve to be allowed to enter Singapore.
