The
myth of foreigners with international exposure has become a mandatory
requirement for top management positions continues to be flagged everyday by
everyone claiming to be an authority in hiring and talent scouting. You need to
have international experience to fit the top job. Just look around and ask how
many of our top people have international experience. Just look at our past
leaders and asked how many have international experience. Ask Bill Gates,
Warren Buffett or Steve Jobs what international experience did they have before
they were successful? Ask Li Ka Sing what international experience he had
before he was successful.
What
is this beef about having to work in an international organization to be qualified
for top management jobs? Ask the chicken
rice and satay seller what international experience is needed when his
customers and market are in the housing estates?
Running the train needs
international experience or not? You need international exposure when your
business is international. International experience is good to have. You don’t
need international experience as a pre requisite to be in top management
especially in local companies operating locally with local customers, products
and services. If this is mandatory, then all our local companies must be filled
by foreigners.
There
is such a thing as good to have but not necessary must have. There are things that
can be acquired in the process. Maybe this is the reason why our locals are
found not good enough for top jobs by our very own locals because of this myth.
The unspoken conspiracy is for foreigners to take over the top jobs of local
companies.
Yes, we are one of the top countries in terms of hiring foreigners.
Is this something good or is it bad? This is a selling out of the interest of
our local talents. It is an accolade that is not an honour and better not to
have. Japan would need to replace all their top honchos with foreigners, and so
would China, Korea, Taiwan and India.
Just
because foreigners said you need foreigners does not mean it is good for you or
good for your country and people. It is
meant to be good for the foreigners, dumb twits. Computers and parrots don’t
think. But people with a little grey matter must think. Otherwise there is no
use for the piece of grey matter in between their ears.
Keep
filling the top positions with foreigners. What about sending your Singaporeans
for foreign exposures? No need. Then where are you going to get Singaporeans
with foreign exposure even if it is really needed? Ask Jack Ma if he got
foreign experience. The myth of foreign exposure is like planting a Trojan
horse in the brain of a parrot to do damage to his own people without him
knowing it.
Parrots,
please repeat after me, ‘We need international experience for top jobs.’
"Just look at our past leaders and asked how many have international experience."
ReplyDeleteRB
But even current leaders also have no international experience, tio bo? Most only have army experience, not even local business, let alone international, before they join politics.
For them, what is most important is the experience of winning big in elections.
International experience does not apply in their case.
So it really depends on what is the job. If Sinkies want to get top jobs, say in banks and financial institutions, then they need international experience. If not, the job will be given to foreigners with international experience.
To be in the Regime, it is who You are related or close to. Exposure, international or statewide, experience and competency are secondary. The Same applies to holding Top Posts in State Run Companies and Organizations.
DeleteAnyway, Sinkies know it is who You know and NOT what You know to be successful in Sin. It's common knowledge.
Wayang is obvious and so is CRONYISM.
If we want to exclude poor but capable Singaporeans from high level positions;
ReplyDelete- then it's a good idea to require "international exposure"
Anything good, we won't call you.
but when there is a shit job to do like "National Service" or "blood donation"
- then it is kampung spirit
- then it is "we are Singaporeans"
Remember.
If they need your help;
Always ask ... what do I get in return.
Don't be daft and do things for free.
"It is necessary to try and put some safeguards into the way in which people use their votes to bargain, to coerce, to push, to jostle and get what they want without running the risk of losing the services of the government, because one day, by mistake, they will lose the services of the government... You unscramble Singapore, well, you'll never put Humpty Dumpty together again"
ReplyDeleteDo you think your Aljunied voters can make a difference meh?
Why do you need bankers with international experience if their customers are locals and the business are local? You only need a few that run international operations. Better still, in overseas offices, hired foreigners to take chart of the whole show and let them run away with your money one day. Just trust them like they were daft Singaporeans, would not run away with your money.
ReplyDeleteHow many silly companies, banks, running foreign operations with foreigners controlling everything? How many silly people pumped hundreds of millions into foreign companies but have no management control and praying that the foreigners will work for them and not work for themselves?
Only daft Singaporeans are so trusting. And the daft Singaporeans are at the top spending away our hardearned money in foreign investments.
Singaporeans are like frogs in a well. They only see the little bit of sky above. International knowhow always needed for anything big in Singapore. I would like to suggest that all major projects or heading any big organisations be in the hands of foreign talents who would bring in new and innovative ideas from more advance countries. Singapore will only grow and advance with the help of foreign expertise.

And good jobs in National Service for Singaporeans?

One question. When you want to drink milk, do you need to buy the cow or bring the cow home?
Heard of learning trips? Heard of transfer of knowledge and technology? Heard of schools, universities? Heard of fakes and cheats?
Why not?Should consider to invite those with international experience like Ma Yingjiu,LeeMyungBak,Yingluck ...to be here to contribute and work hand in hand with our top man.
ReplyDeleteDo you think all people dressed in white uniforms have hearts that are pure?
ReplyDeleteIs this a myth that is even bigger than the myth of international exposure?
Aiyah, this is a classic ploy by those in the positions of power to hire and fire.
ReplyDeleteBack in the bad-old-days when S'pore universities were not rated as "world's best", the top HSC students would get places in S'pore unis. The not-so-good students go overseas to get their degrees.
When it came to getting jobs, local employers preferred those "2nd best" grads who have overseas qualifications over the locally educated ones.
"Overseas experience" is a total myth lah. However, because humans are so easily fooled by their own brains (self-delusion), all you have to do to manipulate them is give them a little nudge in the direction of the myth, and the gullible humans will believe anything you or the prevailing culture tells them.
Do you think George Yeo is getting his international exposure?
ReplyDeleteDo you know what is high and what is low?
Do you know what is local and what is international?
Cheebye lah. We must also have ministers and MPs with international experience. Can hire Obama, Cameron, Putin, Xi, combined for less than half of Pinky's salary. All the current ministers and MPs should be fired, literally North Korean-style by strapping these useless jiak-laio-bee assholes at the firing hole of 155mm cannons.
ReplyDeleteDo you think we are living with the myth that PAP's MP have all been mentored by LKY?
ReplyDeleteMentored by LKY means very good quality meh?

Just because PAP is successful, it does not mean that Singapore is successful.

This is the real hard truth.

How The Seeds Of Revolution Take Root
ReplyDeletehttp://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-02-26/how-seeds-revolution-take-root
...........................
The Decline Of Shared Purpose
Historian Peter Turchin defined a key factor in the resilience of the social order as "the degree of solidarity felt between the commons and aristocracy," that is, the sense of purpose and identity shared by the aristocracy and commoners alike.
As Turchin explains in War and Peace and War: The Rise and Fall of Empires:
"Unlike the selfish elites of the later periods, the aristocracy of the early Republic did not spare its blood or treasure in the service of the common interest.
When 50,000 Romans, a staggering one fifth of Rome’s total manpower, perished in the battle of Cannae, the senate lost almost one third of its membership.
This suggests that the senatorial aristocracy was more likely to be killed in wars than the average citizen...
The wealthy classes were also the first to volunteer extra taxes when they were needed…
A graduated scale was used in which the senators paid the most, followed by the knights, and then other citizens.
In addition, officers and centurions (but not common soldiers!) served without pay, saving the state 20 percent of the legion’s payroll...
The richest 1 percent of the Romans during the early Republic was only 10 to 20 times as wealthy as an average Roman citizen.
Roman historians of the later age stressed the modest way of life, even poverty of the leading citizens.
For example, when Cincinnatus was summoned to be dictator, while working at the plow, he reportedly exclaimed, 'My land will not be sown this year and so we shall run the risk of not having enough to eat!'"
Once the aristocracy’s ethic of public unity and service was replaced by personal greed and pursuit of self-interest, the empire lost its social resilience.
Turchin also identified rising wealth inequality as a factor in weakening social solidarity.
By the end-days of the Western Roman Empire, elites held not 10 times as much wealth commoners but 10,000 times as much as average citizens.
Wealth inequality is both a cause and a symptom: it is a cause of weakening social resilience, but it also symptomatic of a system that enables the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of the few at the expense of the many.
.................
Once again.
"What's wrong with collecting more money"?
Singaporeans are all cry-babies. When things are good they keep quiet like mice, laughing their ways to the bank. Now when things are a little bad, they always kpkb. A little squeeze and a little competition from foreigners, Singaporeans feel uncomfortable. Please wake up and compete, otherwise your country will be taken over by the better foreigners. The FTs who come to Singapore are here to make better lives for themselves. Cannot blame them. If you feel threatened then like the man said, a spur must be pushed into your thick and all too-comfortable hide to wake you up. Singapore needs FTs to grow and keep up the GDP. Without these FTs Singapore will be doom to failure. You have no natural resources. The only thing Singapore has is manpower, ant that is also dwindling fast. Singaporeans when it comes to job hunting, always select the "big salary, no sun, air-con, no weekend, plenty MCs, plenty annual vacation and easy quick promotion type of jobs. There are plenty of jobs out there, but only the FTs will take them because Singaporeans are too choosey. Cannot blame the FTs, they are here to better themselves.
ReplyDeleteCountry overtaken by foreigners?
DeleteWhat's the Government for?
What's National Service for.
But
You are quite right, Sin is HALF
OWN BY FOREIGNERS and by
2030, there shall be more FOREIGNERS IN SIN THAN
LOCALS.
THE COUNTRY IS SOLD AND
SINKIES ARE PAWNED.
ReplyDeleteOne question. When you want to drink milk, do you need to buy the cow or bring the cow home?
Can you ask angkokia, he no need to buy or bring the cow home. That dude just go to Geylang, pay $50 and drink his milk there. Of course most of the time, no milk will come out lar despite his sucking effort,
@anon 6.27
DeleteYou must be very lousy to pay $50 or the need to pay,to get what you want and still got to take safety precaution..
Plenty of meimeis without international exposure out there and that shd be the type that you must aim for.
Because of lack of exposure,they are safer and loyal , enable you to benefit more as they tend to treasure you for caring for their welfare.
@ February 27, 2016 6:27 pm
ReplyDeleteProblem is Sinkies have been bringing the same white cow home for the last 50 years.
The bloody cow now thinks he owns Singapore.
And also thinks Singaporeans owe him a living and a million dollar salary.

Lead, follow or get out of the way.
Anon 5:43 said, 'Singapore needs FTs to grow and keep up the GDP. Without these FTs Singapore will be doom to failure. You have no natural resources.'
ReplyDeleteThe stupid garment brought in 2m of FTs to grow economy by 2% and not counting inflation. What is real is that the farking 2m FTs contributed negative growth. Without the new FTs, Singapore grew 6 to 10% for several decades.
Anon 5:43, are you an idiot or a farking FT, or a traitor?
Anon 9.27 and 5.43 are same.
DeleteThey are idiot ; farking FT as well as traitor . You are very right , where are they when Singaporean grew the economy by 6% to 10% decades ago . They probably have not even heard of that .... only the pioneer generation and the old guard ministers knew too well .

ReplyDeleteIt's no use talking to these idiots.
The only time they will listen is when you vote Opposition.
Then suddenly they want to listen and have a CONversation with you.
Hi AhKong 65.
ReplyDeleteGood to know some brainwashed clowns think that the FTs helped to boost the enconomy.
Now got show to see in this inevitable slow down.
Who are going to be axed??
The FTs or Singaporeans??
Let then harped that they worshipped the FTs and learnt a lession they will never forget when their flats are firesales.
When their wives or daughters beacame pros in red light areas for the FTs.
When they beg in the streets.
You think the PAP will take care of you as citizens of the Nation.
Your obligations is only to serve as slaves in NS to protect their wealth and their cronies.
