STRAITS TIMES Mar 7 2011: Yes, there are job enclaves
I CONCUR with Ms Laurelle Ho ("Employment enclaves"; last Tuesday) about ethnic enclaves of foreign nationals in multinational companies in Singapore.
About three years ago, my nephew, who had been working in an IT department in Citibank for a number of years, had his service terminated, together with all his Singaporean colleagues, due to restructuring.
But all his Indian national colleagues were retained. Incidentally, the senior officers in the department were Indian nationals.
The Government should consider introducing a quota for foreign nationals in companies based in Singapore.
