Yes ok this is a high contested topic with no right or wrong answers.However before you brand me as one of those keyboard warriors i shall ask you a question.Whom does bringing in foreign talents into singapore ultimately benefits.It is the singaporean companies and firms.Yes you can say it will boost our economy.However the real people that suffers from this move are the singaporeans.There is a serious lack of jobs already in singapore and by bringing in this foreign talents is like adding fuel to the fuel for the matter.Yes, you can say as long as you work hard you will get a job.obviously if you read the news the above argument you make will be deemed as a complete fallacy.There are more and more fresh graduates becoming taxi drivers.Of course as a kiasu singaporean i will certainly choose to study abroad and get a job there since the life in singapore is getting dimmer by the day.What i feel that THEY really should do is to bring in more FOREIGN companies that can create jobs for singaporeans like us.PRCs also vie with singaporeans for all the jobs under the sun from a dishwasher to a CEO of a company.What is this?I question the policy.What if feel that the government should do is to only allow foreign talents with high capabilities to join singapore's workforce.That will help minimise(not solve) some of the burdens of my fellow singaporeans and me.
Next i want to talk about foreign talents in sports.I feel that as long as you "employ" foreign people to play games and win medals and in the meanwhile offer them citizenship is not ethical.let me cite the table tennis incident where singhina(oops this is a spelling mistake) won the gold medals with erhem ... three singaporeans from china.I feel that this is like buying success and how will china look at us.By the way they finish as runner-ups.This is so ironic.the singaporean football team has almost half of its players from other countries.I would be more proud of a full singaporean team being the last in the tournament then a half-foreign team(although all of them are given citizenship) being the champions.Do you agree with me?
