Xenophobia on the rise when foreigners become too cocky and deluded

 On 21 September (Monday), a HardwareZone user shared a Facebook post by an individual named “Khan” on the forum, which garnered a lot of negative responses.

The post by Ms Khan explained her recent Xenophobic encounter with a number of Singaporeans who stated that expats in the country have taken over jobs meant for Singaporeans.

“I just had a very Xenophobic encounter with some Singaporeans which started of with snide comments about my country of origin and then going further to say ‘expats are taking over jobs from Singaporeans’,” she wrote.

She added, “Has anyone ever had an encounter like that in Singapore? I’m a bit worried now because I never thought that this would happen in Singapore. For expats with families in Singapore, do they experience this as well?”

In the comment section of her post, many foreign talents (FTs) have expressed their thought on this matter. Some of the points that they pointed out include FTs are “necessary to sustain this country”, Singaporeans are not “good enough” for the job so foreigners have to do it, Singaporeans’ lack the qualifications for the jobs and Singapore will be badly affected without expats.

The above is posted in the TOC on foreigners mocking at Singaporeans for lack of qualifications for jobs and Singapore being run by expats. This trend of thinking among the foreigners is a result of stupid people telling Singaporeans that foreigners from hopeless countries, could not get a job in their own countries, are coming here to work and thinking that they are better than Singaporeans. And many of these foreigners have fake qualifications or papers from funny universities, not from our very good universities, world class, quality measured by the expensive fees to match.

How could this happen to Singapore and Singaporeans, the only first world city state in a third world region and got despised and insulted by third world people that could not find jobs in their own third world countries? Who created this silly situation?

And as expected, when the numbers got big enough, the presence of foreigners, the novelty and goodwill will go down the longkangs. And to make matters worse, the foreigners not only sneered and despised Singaporeans, they even discriminated against Singaporeans, ganged up to marginalise Singaporeans in the work environment, in getting jobs. This is recipe for xenophobia.

Yes, you don't expect this to happen in Singapore, an island of daft that do not mind having millions of foreigners coming here to steal their lunch with a govt boasting about how important it is to bring foreign talents to work here instead of competing against Singapore and Singaporeans.  They forgot that if Singapore is not going to provide the jobs, the so called foreign talents would be jobless. They forgot that many jobs and industries are nothing more than selling chicken rice and have no need for these fake foreign talents. They did not know that many of the jobs can be done by Singaporeans instead.

The tolerance for foreigners is wearing thin and anger is rising. Don't bet on it that more ugly incidents would happen and foreigners would not be having it so good as before. It is a matter of time when Singaporeans would say enough is enough and good riddance to foreign rubbish.

Here are some responses to the mocking by foreigners.
