PMETs, level playing field is not good enough

Parliament discussed quite a bit about the plight of local PMETs being discriminated and victimized by foreign companies and even local companies that have foreigners in the management. The sad thing about this episode is that if the kpkb in cyberspace was not there, no one wanted to know of this problem. It was not reported in the main media and neither was MOM doing much about it. And the daft PMETs accepted their pathetic existence to become self employed, under employed or unemployed.

The whole thing is so ridiculous when the citizens allowed themselves to be bashed around in their homeland. This may be due to the current day mantra that Singapore is no longer for Singaporeans. Some said publicly that it is an empty slogan. I think it is and that is why this employment shit is hitting the fan. It is all about meritocracy and foreigners who claimed or faked and deceived to look meritorious will get the cake. Or is it meritocrazy, when merit is as fake as a degree from the degree mill?

So finally the MOM knows about this problem, the ministers and MPs know that there is such a problem affecting Singaporeans and degrading Singaporeans and robbing Singaporeans of their dignity and self respect, by fucking foreingers. This is like a scientific discovery! The worst affected is the finance industry. We are a major financial centre and we are employing third world talents or people from third world villages to be our finance professionals as if we don’t have people qualified to fill such positions. At the way things are developing, soon we will hollow ourselves of our own financial talents as our locals are not found good enough, not hired, and all the top financial professionals were foreigners here to learn the rope and skills. It is unbelieveable that such a thing is happening under our nose. Singapore, a world financial centre and its daft citizens all unfit to be finance professionals and needed to be replaced by third world talents. This is a bad joke right? To quote Gerald Giam, we are now transferring banking and financial skills to foreigners instead and Singaporeans will soon be reduced to taxi drivers and self employed agents.

So now we know the problem. A bit late isn’t it? This shit did not happen overnight. It has been like this for many years. Anyone sleeping or on drugs? So what are we going to do about it? Some things are going to be done by MOM. Tan Chuan Jin is working on it. But read between the lines and all the excuses that were said in Parliament, this cannot, that cannot work, not so simple, not so easy….what it means is that it is going to be a half hearted measure. It is unlikely to be pushed through but some wayang to appease the anger in cyberspace. The organizers of May Day Protest in Hong Lim would have more to say on this.

The MOM is going to ensure a level playing field wow! My goodness, when all things are equal, it must be Singaporeans first, no buts. A level playing field in our home country to provide jobs for Singaporeans is not enough. Singaporeans must have first priority. Which country and which idiotic govt practices such silly employment policies in the whole world of civilized people to victimize its own citizens? I don’t blame the foreign companies for discriminating against Singaporeans. I don’t blame local companies, including govt services and GLCs where the employment practices favour foreigners. Where is this discrimination coming from? Who is encouraging discrimination against Singaporeans?

What do you think?
