They do contribute.

But then it's also way easier for them to run road from SG if there's trouble.

They will always have their birth country to return to.

Where do local born-and-bred Sinkies go if our country sinks?
What on earth????

Contribute?
Every one contributes
including the illegal workers in US and Australia.
Some illegal workers can even pay social security or tax in US. But so??

And then?
Cos of "contribution" should those countries give citizenships to illegal immigrants

everyone in SG contribute as long as they buy something cos they pay GST
Ya
"Contribute" is an Indian BS

Even a tourist contributes by consuming in Singapore even if the merchants pay zero GST

The real "contribution " is like Winsemius who taught PAP how to do their economy or the Taiwan Air Force guy who did up RSAF
Damn Idiots dare to compare their "contributions " to this?

So wat. Has sinkies life become better? How about jobs? Got stolen? Sinkies can contribute if given a fair arena.
80s, 90s were also sinkies contributing till good enough to hv others wanting to share & leech the infrastructure here.

Very big difference between fair commercial transaction and service to country.

You can do biz with anyone if you are not too fussy and change partner anytime aka AUKUS and DCNS or SAAB and TKMS.

Some elites have forgotten our 2 years plus SACRIFICE to this country.

That's contribution in my low level illiterate thinking.

Let's not overplay this 'contribution' it's just business.

he is a good doctor, and he should prolly stick to being just a doctor.

if hes non sinkie and is not happy with sinkies being "xeno", he can pack his bag and go back to his home country.

Success has many fathers, but failure is an orphan.

When a country is relatively successfully economically, such foreigners will be quick to claim credit for their "contributions". But at the first sight of trouble, they would be the first to flee as evident at the onset of the pandemic in Singapore.

But they're working in Singapore mostly not because they love the country and want to see it prosper. They're here because of what Singapore offers to them - a good salary, stability and security.

Essentially, they are not here to "contribute" to make Singapore succeed. They are here merely as opportunists, and to claim it as a contribution and demand certain rights as a result of that is disgusting.

Not all foreigners are like that - there're definitely good ones around but if we get too many of the mercenary, hypocritical ones, then it doesn't augur well for the rest for us.
