A lesson from Saudi Arabia



Tons of rubbish not cleared as foreign workers fled the country. After years of lax immigration and an influx of foreign workers to take over the low skill and manual work that were shun by the locals, Saudi Arabia has started to close the door. The rise of nationalistic fervor and intolerance of the huge foreign presence have led to vigilante groups attacking foreigners, amnesty for the illegals that owned up, while many fled or went into hiding. Many manual jobs were left unattended and the cleaning of the cities went to a halt.

What is happening in Saudi Arabia is a glimpse of what can happen here and worse. The Saudi lost their low level jobs to foreigners, and when they left after the clampdown only the cleaning jobs, low skilled jobs and construction jobs were affected. We too have these jobs taken over by the foreigners. And we also have several industries that have been cornered by foreigners to the extent that they are the new foreigner core, replacing the Sinkie core. Should they leave for whatever reasons, the hole is going to be very big and very damaging to our industries.

The risk of foreigners controlling some of our vital industries is very high given the irresponsible and thoughtless policy of opening our legs without thinking of any protection. Other than the risk of their departure, even if they stayed, the risk of them doing monkey business at our expense is also very high. And there are also the social and health risks with the latter posing a danger that can strike without much warning. We have experienced several health epidemics recently and TB is on the rise. Our compact living and our public transportation will facilitate the spread of diseases much more quickly and very difficult to control.

Saudi Arabia is a lesson and a pre warning to be pro active, to anticipate what is coming. It is a free lesson that must be taken seriously. Can we see what is coming? I have my doubts. The money is good. The GDP is growing. Nothing else matters.

Can a country be dependent on foreigners for all its needs, including essentials, core businesses and security matters?

A lesson from the House of Saud?

Please lah. What a backward thinking misogynistic, religiously-dogmatic Shia't-hole of a cuntree.

Saudi Arabia -- the #1 site of radical Muslim global mass murderers has OIL to shore up the corrupt House Of Saud so that the rich and connected can have all the "haram" pleasures.

Singapore's resource is people, organized into productive units to produce goods and services.

Singapore needs a FREE MARKET in labour, or it will eventually FAIL.

Good morning everyone and Matilah.

Even the devil has something good to learn from. I am not asking people to learn from the house of Saud and things that we should not follow. I am talking about over reliance on foreign workers lah. You understand or not?

And thank you for the kopi.

Singapore has no choice but to rely on foreign workers.

You understand or not?

@1216:

You have to be dreaming. Saudi Arabia is an ABSOLUTE MONARCHY i.e. everything is owned by the King (House of Saud) -- by LAW.

The King has the right to kill anyone who dares challenge his absolute rule.

Pls do not learn anything from those muslims. They are the most backward in terms of civilisation, thinking, ruling and everything useful.

>> They are the most backward in terms of civilisation, thinking, ruling and everything useful.

But they are the most forward thinking in how to use violence and mass murder as a tool for total conquest and world domination.

Saudi Arabia (where the holey artifacts of Islam are in Mecca and Medina) is the home ground of WAHHABI ISLAM -- probably the most toxic interpretations of the Quaran and Hadith. This is the brand of Islam embraced by terrorist groups like Al Queda.
