It is a known fact that Indian companies bring in their compatriots because they are cheaper amongst other reasons.
In Singapore, many Indian companies, state owned or private companies employ only 1 local here and the rest are from India.
These Indians get PR and then become “locals”, freely jumping ship and buying resale flats, pushing up prices. I know of India Indians in banking with less than 6 years experience wanting to buy properties because rental here is very expensive, yield 5% or more and they expect prices to go up, like in India.
Remember the Indian diplomat in US that paid “slave” wages and flouted US minimum wage and other laws, creating a furor between the Indian govt and US?
It is common for Indian and Chinese companies to also employ Indians and Chinese with education or working experience in London, NY. Our MOM readily gives these people EP and even PR.
Results – our wages get depressed, Singaporean PMETs lose their jobs, housing supply not enough (that is why PAP wants the old to rent out or sell their flats) and expensive, overcrowding, more anti-immigrant feeling and anti-Singaporean employers and foreigners.
