The mantra that Sinkies should be replaced by more talented FTs must be stopped right now. This is our country and we cannot let foreigners to replace everyone of us on the ground or claim that they are more talented.
If that is the case, there is no reason for any Sinkie should be doing NS. National Service is all about protecting our way of life, our well being, our jobs, not the well being of foreigners, not to bring foreigners to replace us and live in glory while the citizens live in misery. This is fundamentally wrong in a nation state where the owners are the citizens.
Anyone spouting such nonsense must be thumped down. They have been saying it without any sense and feeling of guilt or obligation to the Sinkies. They think they don’t owe the Sinkies anything and it is ok to get rid of Sinkies. Sinkies can go and die, not their problem.
Foreigners are needed up to a certain extent but never be allowed to replace us in our own country for freak and flimsy reasons. The first priority is the interest of the citizens, the well being of the citizens. In most countries, compromising on the interests of the citizens, undermining the interests of the citizens and sacrificing the interests of the citizens by replacing them with foreigners recklessly are acts of treasons. No sensible politician would dare to make such a statement and thinks that he would be re elected. This is a uniquely Singapore thing, that politicians can openly say such things… ‘If a citizen is no good, he will be replaced by a foreigner.’ Period.
