Singapore have many jobs with title like CEOs or senior management positions that need foreign talents to fill for some good reasons. Firstly, Singaporeans did not have enough of such talents. Secondly, Singaporeans are mostly not qualified, not because they have no paper qualifications, but their world class universities did not teach them the skills needed for such jobs. Thirdly, Singaporeans have no international experience and exposure. How to sell chicken rice without international experience? Or to run supermarket, postal service or run kopitiams without international experience? Fourthly, Singaporeans do not want such jobs. Singaporeans prefer to be their own boss and prefer to be drivers, taxi drivers or Grab drivers also can.
Singapore thus not only have to open its doors to foreign talents, Singapore must open its doors to foreign talents. And its elected MPs and ministers know how Singaporeans feel about these, and since they are representing the interests of Singaporeans, they must encourage more foreigners to come and take CEO jobs that Singaporeans did not want. And Singaporeans supported such calls, by not complaining or saying they did not approve of it. Silence is consent. See, no Singaporeans complaining when foreigners are headhunted from around the world, and the best in the world seems to be from South Asia, to fill up such positions. South Asia is a gold mine for top management talents like CEOs.
And Singaporeans are happy. For they know that such talents would create jobs for their country men, oops, for Singaporeans. It is a win win situation for Singapore. Getting highly trained foreigners to turn their companies into making big profits and also to create jobs good jobs for Singaporeans. For Singaporeans that are happy with less stressful jobs, there are plenty of such jobs around other then being their own boss and driving in their mobile offices. Many young Singaporeans are happily employed as jagas, oops, Covid Ambassadors, big nice title, sitting comfortably outside offices and shopping centres, easy jobs and with good long term prospects.
Let the foreign talents in, Singaporeans are not complaining. Everything will be fine. Singaporeans can share their HDB flats with foreigners and collect rent, just like in the 1950s and 60s. Under one roof, several families, one room for one family, three rooms, three families. And the kitchen and bathroom become sort of common facilities to be shared by all. Singaporeans sharing their homes to show to the foreigners their unique hospitality. Some better still, vacate their homes to foreigners and they moved to stay in Bintan, Batam and JB. Such generosities are unmatched in the world. Highly commendable.
Nice, nice, very nice. And Singaporeans' life is so good that they would not change the govt but would continue to vote in the same govt with bigger and bigger majority, bigger mandate. See, no one is complaining. When life is so good, what is there to complain?
This is my land, this is my country, this is my home. More and more foreigners would be singing this song.
PS. None of our graduates from our world class universities, many tens of thousands of them not good enough for the NTUC CEO job? What the hell is happening? Who made the selection and appointment?
