Top 10 Reasons for Foreign Talents
...why U are stupid to leave Singapore


If you are a foreigner and you are finding hard to survive in your own country, then Singapore is the right place for you to earn a quick buck and perhaps to become rich in your lifetime.
Unlike other developed nations who discriminate against foreign workers, the ruling party of Singapore is extremely pro-foreigner and amendable to your interests.



In Singapore, you will enjoy essentially the same rights and benefits as the Singapore citizens without their accompanying responsibilities such as serving two years of mandatory National Service in the army. You will be welcomed as a "talent" with the red carpet rolled out for you whether you are really talented or not.

Here are 10 top reasons why Singapore is the best place to work in for foreigners:


10. Getting a social visit pass or work permit is relatively EASY: You can go to Singapore under a tourist visit (Social Visit Pass) and you will be allowed to stay in the country for up to 30 days. This can even be extended for another 30 days so that's almost 2 months in total. Use that time to find work and chances are, you will find one. Many women from China came to Singapore to work as freelance prostitutes and they can earn a year of their salaries back home within a month. If you have the right connections, getting a work permit to work in Singapore is very easy as it is in desperate need of cheap foreign workers. As long you are willing to work long hours for a pittance without asking for too much, you are sure to get a job in Singapore which pays more than what you are getting in your country.


9. Safe place protected by citizens serving NATIONAL SERVICE: Singapore is one of the safest places in Asia. All Singapore male citizens have to serve two years in the army followed by another 10 years of reservist. They will be mobilized during times of unrest to protect your lives and properties. In the event that war breaks out which is highly unlikely, you can always return to your own country with your money and let the Singaporeans do the fighting and dying for you. Singapore's ruling party has no qualms sacrificing its citizens to protect the interests of foreigners. Every year, there are unknown numbers of Singapore citizens who are killed, crippled or injured during National Service, yet there is no outcry among Singaporeans.

8. Easy to ADAPT to local culture and language: Singapore is a multi-cultural immigrant society. Regardless of where you are from, you will bound to find your fellow countrymen in Singapore. If you are mainland Chinese, you will realize that certain parts of Singapore resemble some small towns in China like Geylang and Chinatown. One can find Chinese from all the 23 provinces of China congregated along the narrow alleys of Geylang between Lorongs 4 and 22. If you are from India, you won't feel lost in Serangoon because so many of your kind is there! You can find Indian cuisine from all across India in Singapore itself! For Filipinos, Thais, Burmese and Vietnamese, you have enclaves of your own such as Lucky Plaza, Golden Mile Complex and Peninsula Plaza where you can hang out with your friends during the weekends.


7. No need to INTEGRATE into Singapore society: Unlike other countries where you belong to the minority and may be pressurized to conform to the resident population, there is absolutely no need to do so in Singapore where 36 per cent of its population are foreigners. Of the remaining 64 per cents so-called "citizens", a rising proportion is new citizens born overseas like you. There is large number of mainland Chinese in Singapore and it is likely that you will be able to find your own clique there without bothering too much about the locals. The Indians have their own gang too and they are now branching out into HDB estates like Punggol, Sembawang and Seng Kang. In Singapore, foreigners are the kings and you call the shots. The timid locals will not dare to step on your toes so long you assert your rights and they will give in to you like sheep, as they were called lately by a Senior Minister.


6. PREFERENTIAL treatment for foreigners: Racism is rife in some countries like Australia which saw a spate of protests against Indians lately, but not in Singapore where the ruling party is extremely protective of foreigners to the extent of dishing out preferential treatment to them. Singaporeans will never dare to attack foreigners openly or protest against their presence because they will be arrested immediately by the police under the new Public Order Act. However, foreigners are free to campaign for their rights and interests without much interference from the authorities. When over 200 PRC workers protested outside the Manpower Ministry last year over unpaid wages, they were allowed to block the traffic to its entrance for hours. The employer was eventually forced to repay the workers. In a recent case, a PRC couple together with 3 others "hijacked" a SBS bus for six hours and was given a free cab ride home in the end. The police was called to "escort" them from the bus down to the cab.


5. Get PERMANENT RESIDENT status easily: Getting a PR means you get almost the same benefits as Singapore citizen without necessarily giving up your native citizenship which enables you can reap the full benefits offered by both and enjoy the best of the two worlds. If you are a Singapore PR, you are allowed to stay in the country over a long period of time, you can sponsor your family to come over and stay legally, you can set-up a business here, and many other benefits. You do not have to be a professional or world class talent to qualify for PR. Singapore's ruling party is so desperate to boost its flagging population via immigration that they will accept any Tom, Dick or Harry. Even cleaners, masseurs, construction workers and prostitutes are able to become PRs and citizens. Two out of every three applications for PRs are successful and you do not have to wait very long for it. On average, if you are a professional like doctors or nurses, you will get your PR within half a year of application. A China national and Singapore PR Zhang Yuanyuan who worked as a teacher in a private school received her PR in just 2 months.


4. Take up Singapore CITIZENSHIP as a springboard to greener pastures elsewhere:
One good thing about the Singapore passport is that it enables you to travel around the world without a visa to most countries. If you have made up your mind to leave your country for good and wishes to emigrate to other countries like Australia, Canada or Britain, the easiest way to do it is to take up Singapore citizenship first and use it as a springboard. A Filipino nurse worked in Singapore for 5 years after which she obtained its citizenship. Within a year, she applied to work in Britain and was accepted immediately. She is now a British citizen and has brought her entire family from the Philippines to Leicester where she now works in a local hospital. Since Singapore has already offered you a stepping stone to a better future elsewhere, it will be a waste not to make full use o f it.

3. There are MANY jobs available: There are plenty of jobs available in Singapore and foreigners are usually preferred to locals as they cost less and do not have reservist obligations. It is easier to get a job in Singapore than in your own country. That is why your leaders are all turning to Singapore to solve the rising unemployment back home Philippines President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo sent a delegation to Singapore last year to explore possible job opportunities for migrant Filipino and they were offered a cool 5,000 jobs by the Resort World Sentosa. As long you are willing to try your luck, you are assured of getting a job in Singapore.


2. The pay can make you RICH: Though you will earn less compared to Singapore workers, you will still earn far more than what you will back in your own countries due to the strong Singapore dollar. As of now SGD $1 = RM$2.4 = RMB$4.9 = PHP32. Even if you earn only SGD$500 a month, you will be able to set up a business in your homeland, buy a property and send your children to school if you use your earnings wisely.


1. Easy chance to become a MILLIONAIRE in Singapore: It's easier to become a millionaire in Singapore than in your own country. Just get a PR, buy a HDB flat and wait for a few years for its price to go up before selling it off at a hefty profit. Though this may seem shocking to you, it is true that the ruling party allows PRs to buy HDB flats meant for citizens in the open market liberally and to pocket the profits upon selling them later absolutely TAX-FREE! With the prices of HDB flats set to continue rising due to limited supply of new flats and increased demand contributed by the relentless influx of foreigners, you will surely stand to make a profit when you invest in one now. In other countries, you will have to either rent a place to live in or buy an expensive flat from the private sector, but in Singapore you get to buy public housing at affordable prices and some more can make money out of it. Where else can you get such a good deal in the world?


Two case studies in point:


1. A Malaysian and Singapore PR bought a 5-room HDB flat in the prime district of Bishan for $150,000 in the early 1990s. He sold it recently for $600,000 thereby making a profit of $450,000 which amounts to more than RM$1.1 million dollars! He became a millionaire in Malaysia after working for 2 decades in Singapore . Do you think he can earn that much money in his lifetime had he remained in Malaysia ? The best part of it is, after his children completed their secondary and college education in Singapore , he packed them off to Australia with his earnings to further their studi es so that they can evade National Service. They are now Australian PRs and he is going to retire in Australia together with them.


2. A Chinese national and Singapore PR bought a 4 room HDB flat in Bukit Merah for $250,000 in the early 2000s and sold it for $460,000 at the peak of the market last year, pocketing $210,000 in an instance which is more than RMB$1 million dollars when converted to Chinese currency. She has since returned to her hometown in China where she built a luxurious 3 storey mansion for herself and family. She can live on her earnings made in Singapore for the rest of her life without lifting a finger to work. So if you want to become a millionaire in your lifetime, come to Singapore now and you will not be disappointed by its extremely pro-foreigner government!

PRC Bank Exec
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Happen to be at waterloo street doing some bank transaction yesterday lunch time, was told by the counter staff to wait for 15min to half an hour. Went out for a quick puff and saw this gal leaning on my car talking on her phone. The moment she lift up her head, I was WOW..... Not bad leh. She smile back and say sorrie, I told her to carry on leaning in a joking way. We chatted awhile and got to know that she just arrived 3 weeks ago working at the Bank which I just went. So I try to date her out for a drink and she say OK (My Lucky Day). Pick her up after her work at 5.30pm and we went downtown for dinner.

I was trying my best to test water (NO LUCK). We headed to Boat Quay for a drink after dinner and I told myself this time DIE DIE also must ask. All of a sudden, she burst into tear (ALCOHOL EFFECT), saying she misses her parent. I try to console her and told her not to think so much.

Me: Why dun you try to earn more money while you are in SG?
She: How to? Me: Do part time lor.
She: What is part time?
Me: Must I go into detail, then you can understand. (Slient for a while) and (Burst into laughter)
She: How much am I worth in your eye. Me: Hard to say, depends on how good are you.
She: How much do you want to give me, if I say OK to you.
Me: 150 lor (Man Ego).
She: If I am good to you, you give me more is it?
Me: Let see how good are you.
Me: How???
She: Can try. Is it now?
Me: Now lor. If not when?
She: Where?
Me: I bring you there. 10.45pm we check into a hotel at chinatown and the rest is story.....

Hi to all Bros Bro JJjumper Bro, I have not mentioned which bank she work in and from what I know not all banks in Spore (Local and Foreign) required english speaking staff. Local bank do required english speaking staff but that does not mean all are able to. For example (Pantry lady, Cleaner and etc....) Foreign bank do required english speaking staff at the frontline but how about those at the backend. Those junior staff or lower ranking at the backend may not need to. No offence to you bro....

Bro DL2UHI Bro, what you have stated in your post is very true and well said. I can speak, sing and even scold in chinese or dialect but when I come to reading or writing, I am a total BLUR king.

Bro kefuso Bro, I guess you may have misheard or there are some miscommunication between you and her. She has never told anyone that she is working in a factory. What she has told me is she is rushing some work at her colleague house and need to be handed over the next day. She say she is still very new working there and that why she need to go over to her colleague house to finish her work. Bro there are many levels in the bank and she maybe a small little fly over there. She may not understand what you have know. There are many frontline staff at our local bank and when ask some question, they always tell us to wait and will ask their senior to talk to us. I hope I am right bro. No offence to you............

Bro Cunnosieur Bro, what you have posted up is a profile of a manager and a senior officer position. I have only stated that she work in the bank as a exec. An exec. could mean = admin, clerk, trainee staff or some backend staff.

No offence to you bro........ http://www.sammyboyforum.com/welcome...k-exec-15.html

Wang Xuebing is sentenced to 12 years in prison for bribe-taking.

Wang Xuebing, one of China‟s most powerful bankers until his detention early last year, has been sentenced by a Beijing court to 12 years in prison for taking bribes. Mr Wang was formerly Head of the Bank of China and China Construction Bank, two of the country‟s big four state-owned banks. When he was expelled from the Communist party in November last year, the official Chinese media said he had received bribes worth Rmb2.28m (US$341,000) and numerous improper gifts, including 17 "luxury watches." He was also accused of leading a "decadent life", including sleeping with prostitutes in Hong Kong and in three mainland cities. He is one of three high-ranked Chinese financiers with experience and clout in global markets who have been removed from their positions for corruption in recent years.

Liu Jinbao Shanghai has faced numerous sex scandals

The former head of the Bank of China in Hong Kong has been accused of spending almost £300,000 on plastic surgery for his mistress, in the latest of a series of sex scandals exposed in the state-run media. Liu Jinbao is said to have confessed that he wanted to make his mistress look more like his high-school sweetheart, from whose rejection he never recovered, and has sent her for comestic surgery in Hong and Singapore and London. The leaking of court records relating to his conviction for corruption comes as a string of senior figures from the Communist Party and big business fall victim to a nationwide purge, centred on Shanghai. The charges have mainly been embezzlement, illegal loans and cronyism, but newspapers and websites are running ever wilder stories of officials' love lives.
 
Banking Grapevine: INTERVIEW WITH SENIOR MGR MS TAN BEE HXX, BOC cont'd...
HR: So you were a SENIOR MANAGER from BOC?
TBH: Hiya yes..
. HR: O level SM...salary $7k??? What do you do in BOC?
TBH: Hiya...I worked there many years...old bird system in BOC...from clerk to SM..
. HR: Is there something wrong with your breathing? Why do you always sigh 'Hiya'...
TBH: Hi..erh...no lah..
. HR: Your husband is a DEPUTY MANAGER in BOC...HUSBAND AND WIFE working in the same bank...you know immediate relatives are not allowed to work in the same bank? It is a bad practice and can cause HR biaseness in promoting 'own people' first....
THB: Erh...Last time hor...We work, then 'par tall' then married loh...
HR: I understand that your CONDO was reposessed by UOB...is that true? HR: You always told graduates in BOC that it is important to 'sleep with the right man'.... to be continued...

REPLY FROM PAPHIPHOP65: U make her sound that her English is SO GOOD!

She come to my HR dept and I was appalled that she only has O levels! Yet she can be promoted to be a SENIOR MANAGER IN BOC (KPB). Her promotion was due to her husband TAN XXXX XXXX and on GuANXI and OLD BIRD SYSTEM in BOC, not meritocracy. He is also rumored to be damm good in ballscarrying and always curry favour from the Chinese management. I interviewed her for just 5 mins and asked her to leave. I was shocked when she showed that her pay to be $7000 a month which is grossly overpaid for a O level SENIOR MANAGER IN BOC. Her skills are not relevant and her knowledge of banking and finance is ZERO, and don’t even have any IBF Certificates. The impression that she gave to me is one of dishonest look and a very sly person, slight hunched back and snake eye look. I have asked my HR to screen any future applicants from BOC carefully.
