Singapore is the best training ground for world class bankers, IT specialists, academics, scientists....

 Singapore is the best place to be in for aspiring top bankers, IT specialists, tertiary academics and researchers in science and technology...for foreigners!

For 'top bankers to be', Singapore is a financial centre of the region, also recognised as a world financial hub, with big banks all over the world located here. And what is good for foreign 'top bankers to be', Singapore is dearth of banking talents. There are plenty of opportunities for foreigners to be here to be hired and trained and gaining experience and exposure to be top bankers and world class bankers. No need to fear competition from no talent Singaporeans. It is Singapore's policy to hire the best from the world. 

When Singaporeans are told that they have no talents by foreigners, they simply accept that as a fact. The taming of the beast, ie Singaporeans, is so easy. No talent Singaporeans would now aspire to work in the backroom or in lower positions. Just look around the banking and finance industry and no one can miss the fact that most of the top CEOs are foreigners, or at best given a pink IC if needed, to make them look like Singaporeans to appease the daft Singaporeans.

The same state of affairs is repeated in the academia, in IT and in our world class science and technology parks. Foreigners are hired in droves, presumably to provide the seed to train Singaporeans...in the beginning. The net result today, Singaporeans are by passed, assessed as dull and with little potential by their foreign superiors. Many highly educated Singaporeans have to quit early and to move overseas to seek employment. They have no place, no chance to be trained, to gain the experience needed, the nurturing time and environment to flourish to become top scientists or academia in Singapore...like the bankers.

Once the mantra that Singaporeans are NG, No Good, is accepted by daft leaders, the next course of action is only natural. Forget about the daft and no talent Singaporeans. Hire from the rest of the world, even fakes would do if they can do the job, with fake qualifications and resumes...until they are exposed. If not, never mind. Singapore will hire the best from the world regardless of citizenship...after all we got no talent.

I am wondering how no talent Singapore got here without talents of its own, except exceptional political talents that are worth their weight in gold!

During the days of LKY and Goh Keng Swee, it was Singaporeans first. Singaporeans must be given all the opportunities for training, exposure, to make mistakes, to grow in the job. Experience don't come cheap and easy. Singaporeans would be given all the ropes and opportunities to find their way to the top. This is passe. Foreigners with talents, or fake talents, are all welcome and be given all the opportunities to learn and gain the experience to be top notch in their fields. This privilege was once reserved for Singaporeans...not anymore.

Singaporeans that were not given the chances in home country to learn and grow and have to venture outside would find it more difficult as no countries in the world, other than silly Singapore, would give the valuable opportunities to train foreigners, and to give their top jobs to foreigners. Top jobs are for their own citizens. In Singapore, top jobs are for 'locals' a new term coined to replace citizens. 

A few Singaporeans may break through overseas, but this is very rare. If Singaporeans cannot make it at home, how are they going to make it in a more unfriendly environment overseas? This situation is reversed in Singapore. Foreigners that cannot make it in their home countries would find it so much easier to move up the ladder in Singapore. Singapore trust and value the unknowns more than its own citizens and children. More chances would be given to foreigners, oops, locals.

And daft Singaporeans love this state of affair, to be second class to foreigners, to have foreigners as their bosses. And they are not complaining. This is good. No complaints means they have accepted the status quo. Singaporeans have been tamed over the years to be second class citizens in their own country.

Foreigners please come. As long as you can bluff your way to be assumed as a talent, fake talent also can, you will be the darling of Singapore. Nobody will know, as it is very difficult to dig into the tunnels of the villages you came from, and your unknown background, even medical and criminal backgrounds. Your strength is being foreigners and no one really knows who you are, or what you are. Dark horses!

'Singaporeans need to level up': Companies say flexi-work could push them to hire overseas

Employers also say it is difficult to implement flexi-work across different roles in a company, such as for staff in customer-facing jobs and those in backend functions.  CNA

Is this an official message to the Singaporeans?
