The govt has just raised the amount to qualify for Employment Pass to work in Singapore from $4,000 to $4,500 and $5,000 for financial industry. This adjustment is due to a change in policy to go for quality instead of quantity. A foreigner earning $4,500/$5,000 is now a quality employee, a foreign talent. In terms of annual income this is at most a pathetic $67,500/$75,000, inclusive of 3 months bonus.
According to Chok Tong, anyone earning less than $500,000 annually is mediocre. But foreigners earning a miserable $67,500/$75,000 is a talent, a quality that is good enough to be called a foreign talent. Sadly many Singaporeans earning more than this but less than $500,000 are regarded as mediocre.
When a person's worth or talent is measured simply by a number, perhaps it is too simplistic. Obviously there are many people that are walking idiots or doing sweet fuck all, sweet nothing, but earning grandiose salary because of the right connection or family business. Tiok boh?
It is quite sad that a person's real worth is measured by what he earns. Many of our Ah Longs, Pimps and bookies are probably above mediocres, very talented if income is the only criteria. Same as those jiak liao bees, doing nothing but collecting millions, also very talented.
What do you think, mediocres?
PS. Got the numbers amended from $4.600 to $4.500/$5,000.

PAP suckers brought in aliens to steal the jobs of Sinkies. Now pretend to care. Bloody fools! Sheep still buy their shit.
aiyoh. what core lar ? n
if not enough sinkie core, white idiots can convert FTs to sinkies lor so that the sinkie core ratio will shift doubly fast (both directions from FTs to sinkies) to meet the wayang definition of sinkie core by the white monkey idiots ?? what is the open-leg policy there for ?
The cruelty of the PAP in forsaking Singaporeans is shameful and unforgivable. No other country pays their politicians millions to get foreigners to come in and steal the citizens’ jobs.Despicable!
