Yes, you are an employee, in the private sector or in govt service, as long as you earn a living by working for an organisation, you must take note of the predicament you can be in. Even if you are a top civil servant or a CEO in the private sector, if you did not accumulate enough wealth for your children to live off the inheritance, think of what would happen to them when they cannot compete for a job with foreigners. Think of what would happen to them when they can’t even get a decent job to live a decent life. This is the plight of Sinkies in the coming years when the island is filled with foreigners and foreigners turned citizens. They are not going to be kind to you or your children and grandchildren if you do not stop this trend of letting the foreigners to take over your country. Your generosity is idiotic. It is critical time and time is running out if we do not put a stop to the influx while we still can.
Increasing population is NOT the only way to growth and well being of a people. That is a sure way to self destruct. Everything just goes up with the rise in demand. So the cleaners should be laughing and very happy that they are earning a 4-figure salary. Of course you know that it is a delusion. The money is shrinking rapidly by this unsustainable formula of inflation, of inflating the price of everything with the influx of more and more people. There are other ways to provide a better life to the people than population growth.
Every Sinkie that is a working person has to do his part to stop this spiral to oblivion. It is destroying the lives and future of the true blue Sinkies. The only people benefiting from this idiotic scheme, other than the super rich, are the poor and average foreigners. This make belief 1st World city is only good for poor 3rd World people and a few passing by from the developed world who are making hay while the sun shines. Even some 3rd World so called talents would have to be offered top jobs to accept the pink ICs or PRs which they could easily change again when the going is rough, when the eventual collapse comes.
You, working class Sinkies, even if you are top civil servants or CEOs of private sectors must learn to protect your country, yourself and your children from the dangerous path that this game is leading us to. It is not only unsustainable, it is a sellout of the true blue Sinkies. You will lose everything eventually when being true blue becomes a curse, and instead of bumiputra the country, the country will go to a new master. With only 3m plus people, it is so easy to become a minority and be overwhelmed.
Sinkies must wake up to save themselves and their children’s future now. Don’t ever think that you are having a good job and a good income so it is not your problem. You need to help yourself and your children or you and your children will be replaced. It is also your problem. Your vision of good life cannot be just you and now unless you are single or have no children to think of.
