If you don't like it here, then Leave.
"According to Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, 3 to 4 % of the top 30% of the population of Singapore emigrate to other developed countries every year. We are looking at between 40,000 to 60,000 Singaporeans* vying to get out of the country each year." ~ Source: SG- Quitters
I guess this sums up how much we "love" Singapore. :-) I wish i can be one of those 3 to 4 % who are brave enough to emigrate. Unfortunately, i don't have the heart and courage, my beloved family and friends are here. |

If you think what they are doing with our jobs is bad, wait till you see what they are doing to our housing costs. This is what happens when a country is run like a corporation; bring in outsiders instead of promoting our own.
Pui. Are Foreigners Stealing Jobs from Singaporeans? | MoneySmart.sg |
I work in the equities department of a foreign investment bank. Every morning we gather downstairs for department breakfast before trading hours start. I dare not even bring up the topic of FT at all! Why?
MD is foreigner. The 2 directly below him also foreigners. My colleagues are also foreigners (if you are in the finance industry.. you know which type of foreigner dominate the banks now) 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. |

There are many of us who love what our government has done all these years. It's sickening that this "Salary" forum has become another whining ground for the opposition supporters. Go back to Stomp/ Todayonline/ Yahoo or where-ever you scum come from. |

One may find lots of foreigners in certain segments/vocation in certain foreign city/district but not in the entire country. Singaporeans are second class citizens in their own country. If I were a foreigner, would I move to Singapore if life here is only marginally better than my own home country? |
I wonder if Singaporeans bring along their xenophobia once they become FTs too in other countries.
Do Singaporean immigrants in countries such as Australia and Canada treat other immigrants from India, China, Pakistan etc "as second class immigrants" even if they hold the same type of visa? |
