Gilbert Goh – Singapore to learn from Australian tough immigration laws

‘….Moreover, employers have to advertise for a minimum of 6 months before they can apply for a 4-year 457 work visa for a foreigner to work in Australia.
 
Its also difficult to find any supervisor or manager who is a foreigner - the Aussies try to preserve their power base in the workforce by appointing their own people in supervisory positions.
 
I worked in a nursing home before and all the supervisors are white. This is so different from Singapore whereby many of us find ourselves reporting to foreign managers.
 
Unless the foreign labour situation improves here, Singaporeans will continue to search for greener pastures abroad.’
 
The above is what Gilbert has posted. Actually Gilbert is wrong. How can he compare Singapore with Australia? Australia is such a small country. What Singapore has is land and space. We are so big and have room for more people. We can take in at least 10m people and all we have now is 5.4m.
 
And Gilbert also forgot that we have no talents. We are a nation of daft people. So we need more talented foreigners to be our managers and supervisors. How else could we progress without these foreign talents helping us and supervising and managing our no talent population? Without them we would remain in the 3rd World, living in poverty. 


We cannot follow the tough Australian immigration law if we want to progress and have economic growth.

Who is kidding? Am I kidding? Or is Gilbert kidding?
