there are plenty of other foreign graduates who would gladly take on the role for the same pay. the company can still run smoothly without solely relying on fresh graduates from local universities. So the theory doesn’t work

It's not just about overlooking other candidates.
Local university graduates are hesitant to join the audit industry, possibly in protest against long hours and poor work-life balance.
What these graduates desire is for employers to show humility toward them.
However, the Big4 firms continue to display arrogance. They believe that by simply "throwing money" and increasing the salary for A1 positions, they can solve this deep-seated problem. If hiring foreigners can resolve the issue, they should go ahead and hire all foreigners.
Even foreigners from Kuala Lumpur are complaining about the lack of manpower and burnout. Even they need support from local university graduates.
Nevertheless, local university graduates have numerous opportunities everywhere.
