‘Prof Borjas reminded me of PAP ministers who constantly exhort Singaporeans to be grateful to foreigners for making the creation of jobs possible. They and their apologists even claim that the immigrants are merely doing the jobs that local citizens shun.
Prof Borjas said he heard a similar argument in the US but retorted that it was a false statement, stating categorically that “immigrants do jobs natives don’t want at the going rate“.’
I quoted the above from an article by SFP and I can only say how true, how true. But I must confess that I am quoting these two paragraphs out of context to prove a point in what daft Sinkies have been made to believe in. Would any daft Sinkie refute or disagree with me when I agree with the same myth that foreigners only take jobs that Sinkies did not want to do? Now you are getting the idea. You are not daft after all.
We have 2m foreigners working here. Are all the jobs not wanted by Sinkies? Sinkies do not want to be ministers and MPs? Sinkies did not want to earn millions or the miserable MP allowance of $16k pm? Maybe politics is not the Sinkies’ cup of tea except for the selfless and self sacrificing immortals that would step forward to serve the daft Sinkies.
Let’s move to the private sectors. There are a few jobs that Sinkies did not want, the CEO of SGX, the CEO of DBS and CEOs of several other banks. Yes, no Sinkies want these jobs so they were given to the jobless and hungry and desperate foreigners. What about all the top management jobs in banking and finance and other industries? Sinkies also didn’t want these jobs? And the poor foreigners have no choice but to accept them and have to drag their whole families, papa and mama and papa and mama in laws here to suffer with them. And since all these jobs no Sinkies want, so they were encouraged to bring their whole village to come here and suffer, to do jobs that Sinkies did not want to do. These nice people are doing the Sinkies a real great service.
And you see how happy our retrenched and sacked PMEs are driving their taxis and becoming security guards and not having to shoulder the heavy responsibilities in their previous jobs that they did not want. Now they have so much free time to sit in the kopitiams to enjoy themselves, sipping a cup of kopi hoping it will last 3 hours. And having so much time to talk cock and scold the govt. That must be a great and care free life that these daft Sinkies desired.
Every PME jobless is one that did not want his job. So the poor foreigners have to be recruited to fill up the vacancies left by the choosy Sinkies. Remember Anton Casey or Edz Ello, or Sambath Kannan? They are doing jobs that Sinkies did not want. They must be suffering quietly and very unhappy. Sinkies must feel sorry for the plight of these foreigners, having to swallow their pride to take on jobs that Sinkies did not want. And Sinkies need not feel bad about IT jobs that they did not want too. Just throw them to the foreigners. Since Sinkies don’t want to do, we will give it to the Gentiles. And one job that Sinkies definitely did not want to do is Human Resource Manager. Many of the Human Resource Manager positions have been reluctantly offered to foreigners as no Sinkies like to do this job.
Did I prove my case? Dunno how many more jobs that Sinkies did not want to do have gone to the foreigners? Maybe Tony may want to give up his job also. Maybe Hsien Loong may want to give up his job also. So, which unlucky foreigners will end up having to take on these jobs that Sinkies did not want? Oh, Grace Fu also did not want her job too, and Hsien Loong got to beg her to stay on. If she said no then it might go to the foreigners too. And several ministers were also got fed up of being ministers and have quitted. They would even quit as MPs. There are so many jobs that Sinkies did not want and waiting for the foreigners to take over.
