My AMDK corlick engineer say how come Singapore 1st world country employ foreign worker like modern day slavery.

[Adonai.avatar]

How to answer him ?

Huh…ask him: did anyone force him to come to Singapore? No…he came here because of better salary/role etc etc.

Same way no one forces foreign construction workers to come here…they come on their free will…because they get opportunity to earn more than what they can earn in their countries.

 

[saladrat]

Your amdk is right on that.

Singapore proclaim to be first world country but still engage in third world practises.

How to answer him ?

You didn't read the news? Singapore only resource is human being. With the maid helping care for the children and the elderly, more locals can join the work force and contribute more to Singapore.

This is the textbook answer widely known by Singaporeans. Next time no need to start a thread to ask actually.

Not too long ago, black people was discriminated in America too, even today, black people is discriminated still, you can ask him why also?

 

[coyote]

Or you can response with the shorter version..


This is... Singapore.

Is he joking ?
He is a AMDK.
Should be treated like God.
Can come and go office at any time and no one will scold him.
May even have some one giving him excuses to do that.

S'pore has always been an over-glorified sweatshop.......................the rich get really rich..................the peasants now getting worse due to FTs and inflation................

but peasants too dumb and gutless to do anything about it every 5 years................

 

[cubapril]

Current Merlion's economic trajectory has been outdated, for too long Sg too reliant on cheap foreign labour, as highlighted by several Economists & SG too slow/failed to transition towards high-value added economic sectors ...failed to/slow to leverage on new technologies; failed to/slow to spearhead new enterprises in emerging sectors, lack innovation/ lack creativity (low tolerance for divergence of dissenting views,low tolerance for experimental avant-garde ideas) ..Sg only know how to repeat historic ancient dinosuar OUTDATED slavery reliance on CHEAP FOREIGN labour--simply unsustainable long term. These were repeatedly espoused by so many....economists...fr.... think tanks, GIC, NUS etc. Obviously Merlion is ....slow to adapt, blind, deaf, un-enterprising, lack innovation, lack creativity...unsurprising if red-dot-SAMPAN sinks in new AI-neural networked-1st-mover-advantage-post-pandemic economies or future meta-universes.
