PM Lee's embracing of foreign talent really set me thinking in Business, Government and Society class. I came up with two noteworthy thoughts..
1. i think it is harsh to accuse the foreign talent completely of taking up our jobs..this is based on the assumption that:
- if the foreign talents are not actively brought in, it means that the local talents are staying put in singapore.
- then the jobs will just be taken up by someone local, not foreign.
- at the end of the day, jobs will be snatched away, its just a matter of who does it (local or overseas)
2. if foreign talents are brought in at an exponential rate and local talents are leaving at an exponential rate, and assuming that all the not so fortunate people are staying in singapore and take up the odd jobs, wont there come a time where singapore's big business will be runned by non-singaporeans. all the top positions will be taken up by foreigners and all the road sweepers, toilet cleaners etc be singaporean (e.g me for instance but i prefer doing area cleaning)
anyone watched the terminator series? its basically abt how machines, supposedly to better peoples' lives, end up taking over and trying to annihilate them..ohh yeah..
foreign talents invading singapore and getting rid of the last known species of singaporeans
foreignator 3: rise of the ang mohs
