...we should immediately stop describing foreigners who come to work in our country as foreign “talent”. This term was used by the elites and the MSM as a clever ploy and euphemism to mask the horrendous number of foreigners,which the government was allowing in,who were coming to our shore to earn a living.
If I go abroad to work,no one will ever describe me as a “foreign talent”. I would be described as a foreigner working in a particular country, which is not my homeland.
And how do we know if a particular foreigner is a real “talent”? What if he has a fake degree or qualifications? Why is he a “talent” when the Singaporean who has earned a degree from the 11th ranked NUS or 13th ranked NTU is not described as a “talent”?
So, let’s stop putting foreign workers on the pedestal by elevating their status as “talent”! I shall forever banish the phrase “foreign talent”from my own use. I shall remember what my teacher in Primary school taught me and describe them non-judgmentally as foreign workers.

Never in any country would its leaders repeatedly and continuously belittle and insult its own citizens as daft and stupid and praising unknown foreigners, many from pariah back lane universities or with fake degrees, some did not even go to universities, as talents. And there was very little effort to verify where these fakes came from, or casually do a simple routine formality and claimed to have done the due diligence.
When would Singapore leaders stop belittling Singaporeans from three of the world's best universities as non talents to be replaced by fake talents? When would this insult stop?
For continuously harping on this silly myth, even the fake foreigners think they are really talents or at least better than the graduates of our world class universities. Maybe our world class universities are fakes and so their graduates are equally fakes and our leaders knew about these or believe in this and thus prefer the unknown fakes.
It is unbelieveable that our graduates from world class universities are being looked down upon and despised and trampled by the foreign fakes allowed to come in so easily and freely to shit on their heads, interviewed them and told them they were not good enough, or be their bosses and pushed them around.
When would this nonsense of smearing our own citizens and graduates stop?

The foreigners are talented at their game and know the loop-holes, while locals are losing their grip. Even the scholar-civil servants cannot or will not do anything about it because they are bound by trade agreement. Some of these foreign “talents” came in with fake degrees, six-month diplomas, or degrees from unranked universities and yet managed to land themselves in cushy jobs. Who is helping them enter the country? Who is giving them jobs?
Foreign talent ? More appropriate phrase is foreign trash. The word “talent” used by the Parti Against People to describe every foreigners, has lost its true meaning. Those with talent is someone who is specially gifted, and not any Tom, Dick or Harry coming to our shore. Many of these so-called talent are from 3rd world countries where their countries cannot find jobs for them. So, the main purpose they come to our land is to earn money.
Shame on the Gahmen for bringing in these FTs “Foreign Talons” who are literally clawing the livelihood out of innocent Singaporeans- no thanks to our “goondu” Ministers who are not street-smart and get conned into signing the CECA. The only way to free ourselves from the claws of these hawkish opportunists is to rescind the CECA or has the Gahmen foolishly gone to a point of no return?
