The other day they were making fun of how easy it is to get Citizenship. One commented that he don't even know the Singapore pledge, less so the National Anthem. I hear them discuss about politics and also bitch about the average Singapore.
I am a minority in my own country. Recently when there was a job opening in my department, they 2 fellas straight from India. Expat package. Bank even have to pay for their housing rent (Btw, they stay at upmarket condo in the CBD)
Too bad like most Singaporeans I can only complain. Every morning twist toes listening to the FT's conversations. .

You are obviously not cut out for it thats why they chose those two FTs over you. I worked in London and was recently transferred back home here and I can tell you that you guys need to snap out of this 'FT stealing our jobs' mentality because this is not only happening in Singapore but it is happening worldwide. I worked in a FO position at a BB in London and I can tell you that 80% of people on my floor are not British. It's like a mini UN. And do the Brits complaint? Oh yeah sure they do but what can they do about it? Banks like to hire smart, motivated and talented people who can do the job. So quit whining and start striving.
