Political analyst from the Singapore Management University (SMU) Eugene Tan said: "The harsh reality about immigration is that once the immigration genie is out of the bottle, it will not be easy to put the genie back in the bottle."

"Efforts can be made to assuage concerns but there are limits to what can be done," added the associate professor of law.

"Foreigners are actually useful, especially in certain high skilled areas where there are just not enough Singaporeans and not enough time to train the Singaporeans to take advantage of the economic opportunities," said labour economist Walter Theseira.

//
Mr Song said that it is also worth noting that any cut in foreign talent would cause a "multiplier" effect too, as each worker is not only a producer in their own industry, but also a consumer.

An unpopular opinion but the truth is foreign workers help, not hurt, Singaporean livelihoods
"Without the extra mouths that come and live and work here in Singapore, namely the foreigners, who are you opening your restaurants to? Who are you renting your houses to?" he said.

Grabfood, cleaner, security guard jobs for Singaporeans and high skilled jobs reserved for foreigners as intended by govt. The govt is addicted to convenience of getting ready and "skilled" labour elsewhere. And put quotas for uni placements and courses for Singaporeans.

MIW indoctrination is working extremely well

Know of many idealistic ppl during their younger days but start to behave like sheeps once they started working and buying hdb. And no, not that they think system is working but they are too fearful to do something different so they toe the line

They still dun get that we r not against having foreign talents in SG..it's just that there are too many of them. And I believe many of them are not true talents.

But of course they choose not to tackle this issue.


CheerS!!!😉
