For the nation's security's sake we need more Indian IT experts to defend our motherland. Sinkies for themselves to blame for being untalented. More foreigners, more good years. By the way what does this Yakult dumpfuck know about cybersecurity?

Singapore is short of cybersecurity experts, a gap made even more acute by the recent hacking of government websites.
But the Government is moving to plug the shortage by giving more scholarships for such degrees and diplomas, and getting tertiary institutions to include cybersecurity in the curriculum and have it as a specialist track in degree programmes.
But a tough-to-crack problem is that "young people do not find the job sexy", said Communications and Information Minister Yaacob Ibrahim.
"A young IT (information technology) grad wants to go into banking, finance, sales and marketing. He doesn't want to be at the back end," he said at a media interview last week when he addressed recent infocomms-related incidents as well as Malay/Muslim issues.
