Locals Heavily Marginalised By FTs In Singapore

Just have to repeat this sad story posted by DuGu QiuBai in the TRE. This is the new normal, the new state of affair affecting Singaporean PMETs, and no one is going to do anything about it as long as they collect their millions. And come election they will ask you to vote for them, for you and with you. How many Singaporean PMETs have suffered this fate and are jobless or ended up as security guards or cleaning supervisor or as taxi or Grab drivers? And the sillies could tell the ex PMETs that a security guard job or cleaner supervisor's job is a job and better than being jobless.

I do not have data to prove how real is this problem of discrimination against Singaporean PMETs in Singapore by foreigners employed here. I do not know how prevalent and pervasive is the problem. From observations and just looking around Raffles Place and MumBai Financial Centre, oops, I mean Marina Bay Financial Centre, you can see something is not right. You do not think you are in Singapore, you don't feel like you are in Singapore, you feel that Singaporeans are a minority in these areas.

The saddest thing is that daft Sinkies are accepting this sad state of affair as their fate and they could not do anything about it even when they cast their votes during election to protect themselves and their children's future. The daft Sinkies deserve it.

Recently, had a friend, ex PMET came back from State after hearing all the stories from our state media that Singapore is booming and needed local talents to return to help. But after his return, months turn into year, he already unemployed for more than 1 year.

He told me he went to many interviews and the hiring managers he met are mostly foreigners and almost all are from third world. And he checked out their linkedin profiles, all of them have inferior qualifications and unrecognised degrees. Some don’t even speak good English and yet they are management in Singapore. But he sees a trend, most have become new citizens. Against all odds, he  still tried very hard and many occasions, he performed really well but he wasn’t selected and days later, he found another foreigner  hired. For example, a Pinoy will hire Pinoy and Indian hires Indian. In one classic case, the human resource from UK company HQ  was so impressed with him, they put him to the local Pinoy GM in Singapore, he was not selected because Pinoy GM felt he was not  good enough. A few days later, another Pinoy was hired. But the UK head hunter wrote a thesis to tell him to apply later for other  position. This signals something to all Singaporeans reading, the heavy discrimination of locals have become very significant with our  FT working population breaches 50%. Singaporeans may not hire Singaporeans but FTs will 100% hire their own skin.

So my friend decided to go WSG workshop, all he got was to re-write his CV. He told me the trainer can’t even write a better CV than him and he had to pay to attend such lousy class. In addition, the WSG asked him to be a security guard! The reason WSG said was it is better to have food on the table or to remain unemployed! And later, I heard from many PMETs who went to WSG, they were advised the same, all asked to be security guards!

Singapore management jobs are reserved for FTs, Singaporean experienced PMETs are only capable to be security guards. A third world inferior qualification and degree can be management in Singapore, our local degrees can only be underemployed, unemployed or self employed.

Remember FTs are ruling the corporate now, they maybe inferior but they are management and supported by PAP and also they have become new citizens, no longer FTs on paper. If you been hit, it is almost impossible to land another job as these FTs continue to discriminate and growing in numbers. We are heading towards 10M, so another 4M of FTs to import and convert to PRs and new citizens.

Last GE, 69.9% voted for such situation. My friend who came back from US is a very pro PAP supporter and today, he felt with disbelief that the main stream media is cooking up stories of vibrant economy and asking local talents to come back, its all fake! And he is now extremely disappointed and felt betrayed.

The next GE if you vote for them again, just don't cry for Argentina, you voted for it!
