Those are the unproductive trash that litter the whole island.
well yes and no.
they are not assembling parts in factory or crunching numbers in data centre but they contribute to consumption so part of the salary of the cheaperest foreigners is spent within singapore, paid to singaporean landlords, singaporean char kway teow stall owners, school bus drivers, etc, etc, etc.
