This is a topic which many if not most of the Singaporeans of birth are concern about. Lets look it this topic from various angles.

Singaporeans main concern is that their jobs will be taken and replaced by foreigners due to competition but from my point of view, I’ll agree with the intentions of government whereby their presence here will increase the competition, but however too much foreigners will impose great pressure on Singaporeans which is why hospitals are getting patients over the years with more suicidal cases in MRT Railway tracks etc.

Let us look at it from the foreigner’s point of view since this is about foreigners. From my own personal interaction with them in my school days, the only remark I would say about them are respect. But the respect that I give to my fellow counterparts – foreign students taking up part time jobs in Singapore to help relief the financial burden of their own family back in China and Bangladesh etc. They are hard-working and some students have depended on their family borrowing money to send their children over to Singapore for an education.

Only those foreign students with rich background will stay on in Singapore after the basic secondary education to build up their foundation of English if not in students are sent over to polytechnics to get more exposure of 1^st world country education system.

I’m sure the primary reason for Singaporean adults who are against the idea of directly approving foreigners into Singapore for direct employment is because they will bring in their service culture from various native countries into Singapore thus causing a direct drop in Singapore service standards.

From the setting up of GEMS (Going the Extra Miles) to increase the service standards in Singapore and the Singapore Service Star Award, all these are created to solve the problem. But Singapore isn’t solving the problems from the roots but rather just trying to fill up only one hole at a time. Just look at the chances which to the rules and regulations to foreign workers, upon mass influx of foreign workers into the lower-end employment jobs, only than did Singaporeans who are working adults start making a fuss about foreign employees, but Singapore didn’t really make any chances to solve this problem from the root but instead try to introduce and impose other measures to help lessen the problem.

Foreigners just came to Singapore to work for a period of 3-5years and saving sufficient money before going back to China for those smart people. For those greedy foreigners, they choose to stay in Singapore to get a better living, but they made the wrong decision without even asking the problems faced by Singaporeans.

Let us look at some of the observations which I personally have experiences and thus able to identify the root of the problem which explains the information provided in this blog post.

Foreign bus drivers – they are speaking Chinese in Singapore whereby it’s a multi-culture nationality. Does this make any sense? No, because only Chinese Singaporeans will understand it. It only increase the unhappiness among Singaporeans.

Coffee shops and food centers are already hiring lots of foreign employees who speak only Chinese and nothing else. Although it’s a proven fact that they help fill up the unwanted employments which Singaporeans by birth are unwilling to take up, but there are other alternatives to which we can better solve this issues isn’t it? Just look at how the hotels hire and use healthy senior folks with the chores etc.

The service sucks, the tables are not really clean – as in non-sticky. They just literally throw the product onto the serving section in front of my eyes.

I was wondering what type of service is this; it is like throwing food to a pig to eat that kind of feeling. A purely foreigners based food store with superb unprofessional service standards selling fishball noodles.

Is the management confused with the promotion of speak Chinese Campaign with the influx of foreign employees? Their presence here does not help the issue but rather gives us more reasons to hate Chinese in fact thanks to the unpleasant experiences.

Foreigners working Singapore should undergo some kind of training and get them to adapt to the Singapore culture first before working in Singapore to reduce the issues and problems which most of us are unhappy with.

Much work need to be done and refine in order to make Singapore a better living place where everyone can co-exist with one another.
