Same with the team members.

Many in engineers in SG have written more than 300 000 lines of code.

What is so special about his platform that no one can sell in SG, and must bring FT? How many engineers developed that platform?

I bet with you a Windows OS is 10000 times more complicated that that stupiid trading platform. Yet you can see no so educated sales people selling windows OS in mama shop, harvey norman or challenger.

Today we see rampant RACISM against Singaporean. Many recruiting manager discriminate Singaporeans by calling us incompetent, "cannot find Singaporean engineers"...etc

Take down PAP.
May not be good to hear but look, its a simple case of probability.

If you are going to pay globally competitive salaries, like the foreign banks, then you are going to attract talent from a global base, especially given our low tax rates (i.e. a London IB banker will earn the same salary as a Singapore IB banker in a global bank, but the Singapore IB banker takes home a lot more due to the taxes differential). Its hard for 5 million people to compete with 1billion plus in India, and a few hundred million native English speakers in Europe and the US for these jobs.

Plus, its the same thing in HK and London as well. For some coveted foreign bank jobs, the majority of employees would be non-citizens.

So have to climb up of your little well and face the reality of the big world out there.
