Pro FT Hotel Director Sinkie Dog claims Sporeans are '' weak and lazy ''

[Zatoichi]

Fairmont is ang mo brand right?

Yes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairmont_Singapore

It first opened in 1986 as the Westin Plaza hotel, which was also another "angmo" brand.
But in 2001/2002, it was taken over by Raffles International, which was owned by Raffles Holdings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raffles_Holdings), which is owned by Temasek Holdings, and renamed as Raffles The Plaza.
Which means that for a few years during the last decade, it was a "Singaporean" brand, before Raffles Holdings sold Raffles International (which also owned the famous Raffles Hotel just opposite) to the U.S. company, Colony Capital (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colony_Capital) in 2005.

Colony Capital, together with Saudi Arabia's Kingdom Holding Company (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_Holding_Company), then acquired Canada's Fairmont Hotels & Resorts (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairmont_Hotels_and_Resorts) and combined it with Raffles International to form Fairmont Raffles Hotels International (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairmont_Raffles_Hotels_International) in 2006.

Finally, in late 2007, Raffles The Plaza hotel had its name changed to Fairmont Singapore.
So the brand name and the owners have changed, but the building still remains the same.

Like many other "expensive" things in Singapore, Fairmont hotel is just another "expensive" thing that's owned by rich foreigners, usually Western "angmos".

Personally, I think most native Singaporeans are hardworking.
But our wealth, in terms of money, actually comes mostly from rich Western countries who are willing to invest their money in us.
That has always been the case since the British started colonizing Singapore in the 19th century, and it will continue indefinitely... *sigh*

A real arsehole of a Singaporean. There is a reason why MNCs and so many company come to Singapore in the first place. It is exactly for the opposite reason for what he has stated. They are here because the base is held together by Singaporeans. If for argument sake, Singapore was held together by PRC or Indians or even Malaysians, I am sure they would not be here in the numbers they are here.

This mudderfucker must also realise that the international business community are reaasured by the security stability provided by 2 generations of national servicemen who happen to be Singaporeans. No international company is going to invest in Singapore if we can't even secure our water supply or promise them security for the long term.

The guy is in charge of the hotel service and the people that do matter for him are the waiters, front desk, chambermaids and Singaporreans are honestly better qualified and can contribute in many other ways. In his world, his bonus is the result of back bracking work of chambermaids whose country of origin are basically poor in so many ways and can be exploited. Listening to his command relates to be less lazy I suppose.

You will never get a comment like that from CEOs of Banks, Engineering companies, high value industries etc. You ask a kopi tiam owner and he too will tell you that FTs are key as they are the ones these guys can exploit. Look at Besotted, he runs a canteen and he is dependent on cheap uneducated labour.

Which Country Pays Their Garbage Men Well ?

Is there a difference between 70s and 80s workers versus 90s and 2000s ? Have Sinkies in general lost that ability to work ? I don't think so. People nowadays seem to work longer hours. More tech savvy unlike you know which country we are talking about.

Perhaps, the ratio is getting larger ?

But, if you pay someone $5k to remove garbage, will anyone take the job ? I think Taiwan govt pays garbage men so well that many turned up for the 'competition' to get licenses for such lowly jobs.

Re: Which Country Pays Their Garbage Men Well ?

When the PAP started belittling the contribution of Sporeans in building Spore, people should have sat up & taken noticed because I bet it was around the same time that they started replacing locals with foreigners.

If you keep voting for the same person/party, it develops an entitlement mentality & they will put all their family, relations, friends, & dog, first. That's why in the US the president has a 2 term limit.

It'll now be harder to get rid of them because they have deeper roots :(

Re: Which Country Pays Their Garbage Men Well ?

Some might not agree with me but after working for over 20 years work with people of different nationalties
, I find Sinkee workers are one of the best employers can get. Yes, there are some black sheeps but majority are responsible worker.

Another classic case of a CB Kia who loves putting down his fellow countrymen and praising Foreigners to the skies.. He won't be singin the same tune again if one day a FT takes over his job position..

You are the fucking CBKia who thinks the bosses owe you a living. If you don't want to work as hard as the foreigner, why shouldn't the SINGAPOREAN bosses hire foreigners? You think you more Singaporean than them ah?

Hello PAP Chebye Kia, as an Operations Manager in my workplace, I make it a point to hire Sporeans of ALL RACES over the Bloody Pinoys and Ah Nehs.. Sporean workers have never let me down..You pay them well, you treat them well, they'll work their ass for the company.. You think all Foreigners are very good when doin their work..???? Fuck You..!!! I had to terminate the contract of 3 lazy Pinoys over the past 4 years for doin shoddy work even though they were paid 2.5K per month... These Pinoys gave you 1000 and 1 reasons when being asked to do OT on Sundays.. Got to go to Church lah, got to fetch their old friend from the Airport lah... But surprisingly they can have the time leh to relax with their fellow Fucktard Pinoys at Lucky Plaza on Sundays.. No problem with the locals when I asked them to come for OT on Sundays.. Keep on slamming your fellow Sporeans, because fucked up traitorous cheap cunts like you are the CB Kias who bend their arses to the PAP every 5 years...:oIo: :oIo: :oIo:

Come on, stop behaving like babies waiting to be spoon fed all the time!”

I've been saying the same thing for the last 15 years!

Singaporeans simply don't have the same drive and determination that foreigners display. It was the same story way back in the late 70s and early 80s when many companies preferred to hire Malaysian Chinese. The difference was that they blended in easily because they looked and sounded the same as the sinkies they were displacing.

 

[Varuna]

I worked with FT IT programmers from India more than 10 years ago and they could make your life miserable. Got to spend time double check their work everytime. Sometimes felt like might as well do it on my own better. Many are driven by money and are using Spore experience as springboard to US or other places that can offer more. And recently a friend of mine who works in a bank which just had their IT outsourced to Indian FTs, she also lamented the same thing.

 

[SalahParking]

I think Fairmont Singapore is now owned by Qatar Investment Agency and some others. If my feedback is correct, the Qataris are even more weak and lazy people, and the rudest people on the planet. So whose is this guy sucking up to now, who is his real boss.

My dad was a money-grabber during those early years. Maybe, you cannot describe this kind of people as hardworking. Good to have a dad that grabbed lots of money for the family and house.

Malaysian ? Dono about tis.

Indians Are Idiotic Program Writers

Yah, true. I heard of a true story from one of my church friends who was their IT manager. Pathetic programs with very poor documentation. He redid everything from scratch. Dono whether he was 'cat' or just being professional. Maybe, Indians themselves have got problems.

Pinoys = Malay

Pinoys are actually Malays with a different culture.

Nonsense lah - just because Qatar Holdings buys the hotel do you really think the Qataris are the ones calling the shots on the ground - errr Qatar Holdings/QIA are runs by expats - Qataris are the figureheads but policies are drafted by mostly non-Qatari expats/Arabs and then rubber-stamped.

Besides before the Qataris bought over who was holding it? It was the "Saudis" i.e. Kingdom Holdings.

If you want your business to squeeze every single drop out of your workers at the lowest cost possible, make your head of HR an Egyptian....

sir, my words has been taken out of context, and probably been misunderstood. However, the quick overview of the workings of the middle east is welcomed.

Welcome to Singapore! On the mrt now and saw 3 pinays boarding the mrt at Tanah Merah. Obviously just landed from Airport. Tag on their bag reads Air Asia. Another 3 coming here on tourist pass to look for jobs. When I was doing the recruitment for my company last month, I refused so many calls from them who were in visitor passes.
