The Situation Surrounding Foreign Talents
The
foreign talent program started since 1980s have imported more than 3M
foreigners into Singapore and converted about 1.5M largely
from Malaysia, India and regional neighbours. The government has
further endorsed their foreign talent program by using a new Singapore
from Indonesia to sing our NDP. Whether the new Singaporean served NS
or not, this is beside the point, the govt’s underlying intent is
quite clear, the foreign talent program will continue and they will
import and convert. I believe Singapore population will breach 6M before
2025 and heading towards 6.9M. As you can see, Hyflux’s was told to
prepare for 8M.
My uncle had worked in MNC for 40 years and recently moved to a SME funded private venture and govt. More than 50% of the workforce are foreigners, a large portion are new Singaporeans or PRs. The management all non-local bornt. The issue is that they mostly do not hire Singaporeans, they hire foreigners. In one example, they hired someone from NTU engineering, they chose a Vietnamese scholar funded by govt and already a new citizen. So the whole company from middle to high management are mostly foreign bornt foreigners or PRs or new citizens.
Here comes some illustrations of the issues at the company. The Vietnamese new Singaporean was made head of design and paid near $10,000 a month was tasked to design new product. After two years, nothing was produced. The Indian PR a manager doesn’t much skills, wasting a lot of money buying materials in excess, there is something fishy there but no one cares. The Pinoy supervisor speaks very well but slacks at work most of the time and he hires his friends. The company was taking a lot of orders but could not deliver as this whole bunch of people were not really working, they are not focused and did not care if the company collapsed. So the investors and govt sent a team to investigate why the company was losing money, they sent another team of foreigners which are in totally different field. So this team without the expertise was smoked by the new Singaporean management. And till nothing had improved, they laid off people to save cost, largely local bornt Singaporeans.
My uncle said this has been the new normal in most companies, even the MNC he was working. Same issue, they import all kind of foreigners and the foreign population has increased to more than 50%. When this happens, they hire mainly foreigners or foreign bornt Singaporeans. As they have good jobs and pay, they convert to PRs or Singaporeans. Most of these foreigners are from third world, they are ill equipped with knowledge and skills, of course they are some good ones but rarely the case. This explains why the quality of work in Singapore companies has deteriorated to such extent. And if you call into Singapore call centres, you can probably tell the difference since they are manned by foreigners from India, Philippines or even some remote countries.
I believe this foreign talent branding is a cover to import third world foreigners and convert them to GDP growth and votes. Remember a third world Uptron Diploma not recognised in Singapore and the school had shut down was making $53000 a month and owning two condos. I had found so many foreigners who are having good jobs with either non existent schools or inferior qualifications. The question is why NTU, NUS and local degree holders were asked to retrain to be security guards or do low level menial jobs while these third world inferior work force are given good jobs?
The import of third world foreigners will never stop, the numbers will continue to grow, PR base will grow, PR is grouped as locals because having a big pool of PR will neutralise the exponential growth of local PMETs replaced by foreigners or unable to land jobs. The discrimination at work force is now becoming a norm and I had seen new Singaporeans fighting local bornt online and defending PAP. Some are getting very aggressive since their heads swelled due to the praises the govt heaped on them, they really believe they are talents and above locals. Of course they call these fighting as xenophobia but this is expected. If this has happened to other countries, people would have rebelled and walked on the streets.
Some foreigners are understanding the issue of non local bornt, even changed their names or remove their nationality from facebook profiles to pretend they are locals. We had a politician changing his Indonesian name to sound like local in recent election. We also had Internet Brigade has been promoting that Malaysians look and sound the same like locals. Yes. This is why more than 2M are in Singapore and 1M has converted to new Singaporeans.
The conclusion is there isn’t enough jobs for so many, this is why we are seeing many local PMETs plying PHV or self employed trades, forced out of their trades relatively young as 30s. This whole foreign talent scheme is just a camouflage, there is not much value except they brought massive people that fed GDP growth and the declining vote base of PAP. Foreigners are served local lunches and their forefathers did not toil and sweat like locals. Singapore workforce productivity and quality are in decline because of these massive third world semi skilled or unskilled labour, it is quite clear as things are failing more frequently than back in 1980s or 1990s. Looking at the floods, you know why floods are not once in 50 years but regularly now. The friction between locals and foreigners will grow exponential as more and more locals are discriminated, cannot find meaningful work or forced to retire prematurely from their career at young age.
As much as I will say, this scheme since 1980s will not stop, it will continue and the situation will get worst. Singaporeans need to mentally prepare to bite the dust since you voted for them.

The above article is posted in TRE. As a pioneer generation Singaporean, it is so painful to read what is happening to the Singapore we helped to build and now to be given away to foreigners in a silver platter. This is the new reality in Singapore. The future of the original Singaporeans is bleak. This is what you voted for. At the rate it is going, it is too late for change. Now another 5 new years to increase the damage. Stupidity has no cure Singaporeans deserve this fate they bestowed on their children.
No body knows what is happening? Any MP raise this in Parliament or they are complicit to this state of affair? Who is responsible for this shit? The daft Singaporeans of course.
I have shouted until my voice is hoarse, lost my voice. Vote them out! Alas, it is too late.
