Singaporeans should stop uttering the phrase foreign talents
For so many years, the Sinkies have been conditioned to look at foreigners as talents and the Sinkies as daft. In reality, the foreigners have also gone through similar education systems in their respective countries as the Sinkies going through our own system. And many of the foreigners actually went through a poorer and less well equipped education system compares to the Sinkie system, which on paper is ranked among the world best. How did Sinkies become non talents when rubbish becomes more talented?
Why is a Sinkie with the same degree or degrees, be it a first degree or post graduate degree be non talent while a foreigner with the same degree/degrees becomes a talent? Why is a Sinkie with the same number of years of working experience be less able than a foreigner with the same number of years of experience? Why is a foreigner with lower qualifications, less distinguished qualifications, lesser number of years of experience be deemed better than a Sinkie and made to be heads of depts and institutions and the Sinkies be left in the cupboard?
Sinkies must take pride in themselves as the real talents. It must be. The Sinkies are schooled in one of the finest education system, one of the most expensive, and have proven their abilities to build a country from the Third World to the First World. In the case of the foreigners, many are schooled in ill equipped education system with poor facilities and inadequate teaching staff, in unranked universities, and came from Third world countries that they failed to turn them into First World, how on earth that they are now better talents than Sinkies, to help Sinkies, to create jobs for Sinkies when they could not help their own countries, could not find jobs in their own countries?
Who are the silly ones who are calling these Third World products as talents and rubbishing Sinkies as not talents, helpless, useless and daft?
All Singaporeans, especially the new media, the netizens, should henceforth refrain from the use of the phrase foreign talents or FTs. There are foreign talents but there are very few and only very exceptional ones. The more Singaporeans keep calling these foreigners as talents, the more Singaporeans unconsciously start to believe that they are when they are not and start to believe themselves as unworthy. Any Singaporean that spouts this phrase should be seen as betraying Singaporeans and deriding Singaporeans and should not deserve to be respected by Singaporeans, be they politicians or otherwise. Only real talents are deserving to be called talents.
Let’s do it together to say the right thing that favours Singaporeans and not the right thing that abuses and belittles Singaporeans. Let’s stop the crap that the lesser number of Singaporeans in the island is to strengthen the Singaporean core. It is a lie. The Singaporean core cannot be strengthened by having more foreigners to take over the rightful place of Singaporeans as citizens and in job opportunities.
Foreigners should just be referred to as foreigners, foreign workers, foreign white collar workers or at most foreign PMETs, ie foreign ‘pampered, mediocre, expensive thrash’.

To me talent is a broad term. Not just brain talent. And I consider someone has talent only when they can provide benefit to others. Benefit can be material, physical or even mental or emotional comfort.
For instance, if foreigners are available to do certain jobs which Sinkies cannot or don't want to do, they are talents. So I would say maids are talents. Construction workers are talents. Specialists in various fields are talents.
If they can get along well with the boss, they are talents. Talents to the boss, that is. That explains why some Sinkies are not able to get certain jobs which they think they are qualified. Because the boss thought Sinkies are not talented to get along well with them (bosses).
Hope this enlightens.
I agree that we should stop using the word foreign talent ......
Foreigners working here are foreign workers. They should called/addressed as foreign workers regardless of their positions, levels, professionals or not, etc... For example "This CEO is a foreign worker".
The term was coined when it was those corporate heads that the MIWs were targeting. Now, street walkers on social visit pass falls under the same category. We shd just change it to "cheap transient workers" or CTW.
I will continue to call our imported workers "Foreign Talents" or FT for short much to the chagrin of RB and like minded. The reason is that they are truly talented in their own ways. Having come from a more backward society with much inferior qualifications and work experiences, they can displace and replace sinkie from their jobs, their home and sometime, even their women!
FOREIGNERS WORKING HERE ARE MERELY FOREIGN WORKERS REGARDLESS OF LEVELS AND NATURE OF WORK. WHAT FT ?????
Talents are people who can do works which one cannot do like wahing and ironing clothings, cooking, housekeeping, laying bricks under the Sun and working above three storey high under the hot sun.
The ones who can perform are more talented than the Talents that cant.
Talents are those that can do work that others cannot do, not works others did not want to do.
And not those that work for lower pay. These are cheap labour.
Whether one is a ceo or cleaner, as long as one is a foreigner one is a foreign worker!!!!!
Conning Sinkies is so easy. They have been told that they are not talents but foreigners are. And Sinkies believe that!!!!!!
they started the con job in school. foreign student are called scholars . our children see themselves less scholastic and became inferior from early age. this is the most sickly thing our pap govt do to the core of singapore.
This is called conditioning of the mind. Once the people got used to being called daft and started to think foreigners are talents, then they will fell inferior and after sometime will believe that this is true.
A very sadistic thing to do to our people.
This is like branding someone as mad, keep talking about it, not only the person may start to have doubts about his own sanity, the masses will come to think this is so.
Foreign Trash
All these shit started with Kuan Yew and Chok Tong. Kuan Yew who started off his career as a traitor since Japanese time has been selling his people and prospering from it immemorial.
You can only get rid of the FT shit nomenclature after getting rid of Kuan Yew and son.
PAPig definition of talent:
1.Any foreign worker ... is this true?
2.A card carrying member of PAP ... is this true?
Is it true that PAP's complete membership list is a secret?
Is it true that the complete membership list is only known to a few select PAP members?
Does the membership list contain any Foreign Talents?
Legally I don't think foreigners can join a political party here. It is meddling with domestic politics.
You forget that the foreigners can become(make/convert into at will) citizens if need to.
They are talents becos when given citizenship,they will support the you know who.Intime of need,a vote of supporﹰt is worth a billion.
You guys can only kpkb and hopeless to get your support.
As such they should be call talents.They will be the one to decide how Sinkies should live.
Is it legal for a Permanent Resident to join a political party?
Any foreigner can join grassroot organizations and proceed or progress frm there.
'A very sadistic thing to do to our people.'
- I agree but unfortunately the naive people still vote for them. Everyone should keep repeating that they are foreign trash and they will be foreign trash. It is as simple as that.
In conclusion:
As long as you are a foreigner working here, you are merely a FOREIGN WORKER regardless whether you are ceo or cleaner !!!!!.
If they are talents, they should go to america or europe - no need to come to this small, crowded, expensive, highly populated and highly polluted place with lousy housing, transport, education, medical infrastructure.
We, local talents should not address them at all.We have to fight for our rights.As pointed out, ONLY when there is no local talent available, the EP or Work Permit should be approved if the application for EP is accompanied by proof.This will jump start in solving all the problem of sinkies job losing. I am sure all of us WILL accept if there is really a need for a talent from other countries. But without trying the LTs first, why FT??
