'End of Singapore' for expats

[Albeniz]

A few years ago when they were deciding whether to proceed with CECA, did they ask us to kee chiu?

Were you consulted back then?

Maybe we should do a kee chiu  , how many of us here who are working in a MNC, whereby your local boss is not an AMDK along the upline? or your peers have less than 30% CECA ? 😀😀

We are not talking about cutting down to 0, but a more balanced mix, yet the amdk are already kpkb, why  the impact is felt so badly? Because SGP has been a free flow market  to them. 

me. boss is singaporean. Less than 30% indians for my team and proabably my boss team.

I recall before i was retrenched about 5 yrs ago.

My boss was angmoh, my boss’s boss was angmoh. Both angmohs based in singapore for more than 10yrs already.

but they are pretty respectful to locals to be fair.

I find it a bit exaggerated.

Are we disrespecting of these fairly high SES expats? Are they treated worse than the Bangladeshi workers? Are they shown less respect than the coffeeshop cleaner or toilet cleaner here in SG?
JSS is from the govt coffers that is based on the toil of 2-3 generations of Singaporean workers. Obviously the incentive should be to protect Singaporean jobs.

Yes especially at the start up/transfer of technology/knowledge stage.. and this shld be gradually trim to allow Singaporean to learn the robe and climb up the leader. 

They can remain in the Top especially for MNC but they need to increase the percentage of SG holding junior to mid management

Nope. In marine /  construction no expat.

Infact we are the one that gave them job on contract basis; Surveyor/divers/marine electrician etc.

Their charges are the same as local or malaysian.

154th Media trying hard to boost up the sob stories on expat and FT, hidden motive is to prop up CECA.

But distract everyone by talking about Taiwanese XMM and poor AM's wife etc etc.

Honestly I am so unimpressed with 154th journalistic capabilities that I am not sure if "Amelia", "Ms Tang" are real-life characters.

Everytime I see your username I have to remind myself that you're a different person from someone else with a rather similar username but...er...different opinions. 😂😂😂

I also have to remind myself that I have no reason to be confused since I put that one on ignore already liao. 🤣🤣🤣

But whether my Boss truly had a hold on me, thats a different story.
