I am a regular reader of The Real Singapore and I am a born and bred Singaporean but i really feel the bulk of readers here at TRS are racist cowards. All we can do is complain yet do nothing about anything. Before elections, the most popular comment against the PAP was "Vote them out in 2011!", when 2011 came and the PAP won, literally hours after the most popular comment was "Vote them out in 2016!".
Yeah, come 2016 they will win again and what we gonna say then? Wait til next election? If the government is so bad as you all claim they are, do something about it. Don't hide in front of your computers and make comments about them all day. You are just a bunch of cowards, the PAP will always be in power, either you shut up and accept it or do something about it. Thousands of people complained about the SMRT price hike and a pathetic 300 people showed up at the protest. Just proves that whatever the PAP or the SMRT or whoever does, its all Singaporeans fault. Stop blaming everyone. Its your fault. Deal with it.
Complaining about the influx of foreigners, this is where Singaporeans stoop to a new low. Why do you all hate these so called "foreign trash" so much? Are they the reason why Singapore is being overpopulated? Are they the reason why we are losing our jobs and stagnating our wages? Are Singaporeans so stupid to even see what's the real problem here? Who gave them the work passes? Who allowed the influx? Why hate on people looking to make a better life for themselves, so many Singaporeans go to Australia for a better life, we all want a better life, those "foreign trash" are no different.
If you are unhappy by them being here, do something about it, blame the right people. Blame the MOM, the Government, the companies who hire them. Why take it out on innocent people who just want to live a better life? They wouldn't be here if not for the authorities which allowed them. Stop being racist and xenophobic. You are just masking your cowardliness because none of you have the guts to take it up with the Government or the MOM. Recently a few indian foreign workers were fined and jailed for over declaring their salaries?
Don't you all see what's wrong with that? Why wasn't the companies fined or jailed? It is the companies that hire them, it is the companies and agents that filled up and submitted their work pass forms, the foreign workers are the victims here. Most of these companies and agencies tell the workers a different story and most of the workers don't even know what is the full laws with regards to their salaries. They are told they are paid 1200 a month while the company declared it as 4000.
Its the company who should be made to suffer. The Singaporean people are the victims too. Why are the companies that are abusing and exploiting the system getting away with it while innocent foreign workers are being jailed and fined? We Singaporeans are not losing our jobs to foreigners because of the "influx of foreigners'. We are losing it because of the government, the MOM and the companies that exploit it. If you have a problem with the "influx of foreigners", take it up with the right people and leave the others alone.
