Toast Box in Vivocity. Today is an important day

[Donut]

i was at Toast Box in Viviocity, having coffee break, and I was ordering my items. Suddenly I noticed that all the staff serving are all Filipinos; from the cashier to the people making the food items (nasi lemak, laksa, etc) to the guys clearing the tables. All foreigners.

 

My question is WHY? Are all our locals aleady being employed? No one to be employed? How about the marine parade resident?

 

Is our garment blind to this? Do we need to do something today to make a change?

 

 

[Vroomtattat]

YES! Make a CHANGE!!

[Theone2010]

don't sapport them lor, go to local hawker 4 kopi or don drink lah.

 

 

they employ cheap labour + charge high prices = more profit for big boss to drive lambo lor.

[WTF]

This is not new. Once my friend and I went to a food court and found that all those manning the stores came from China.

 

As Nicole Seah said, we shouldn't blame these foreigners but the blame should lies with those who open the flood gates without any limits.

So vote wisely!!!

u should add IT oursource company as one of the most blantant. Some are even ang moh and not the usual Ah Neh. And to think that this are talent that go to the internet chat room to ask and pose question when they encounter problem with the programs. We have alot of waking up to do to improve the quality of work.

 

In a nut shell, have the Talent actually impart crtical know how to improve the local and enrich our life? I know they don't owe anyone a living, but when you deal with them, "talent" is really quite insulting to even to begin with realting to the word.

 

What is the take on the country when there is a crisis ?

 

 

[WTF]

We should not blame these companies as they all wanted to maximise their profits with lower cost. Since the government policies allows that, they'll definitely want to take advantage of that.

 

So we should blame those who put in the policies without considering its effect on its citizens but only GDP numbers.

 

So please vote wisely!!!

you're right.... less of a political issue rather than whether we locals are able to do what they do in such large numbers with the conditions stated above....
