I am Singaporean. I work alongside these highly paid expats and completely disagree with the TS. The ones I work with are really good and have worked in many countries and top companies before. There are a few Singaporeans who are their equal, but not many. Those who do typically have strong overseas degrees and some have worked their way up in top cities around the world. If you work in London and New York, in many of the most competitive industries, you will find that there are more foreigners than Englishmen or Americans. This is what makes those cities vibrant.

So, I wouldn't generalize your particular situation to the rest of Singapore. I believe that Singapore needs these people to be competitive.
