Those who are prosecuted for not paying workers are the few who don’t belong to grassroots. The majority are in grassroots and they get away with it.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Banana Republic of Singapore.

1. employers are abusing the lax foreign labour policy to profiteer. ah neh paid $8k to 9K to work in singapore. this money go to the middlemen in singapore and blangadesh,who then paid singaporeans employers $xxxx amount to get workers from them.

2. MOM and SIR do not have the ability nor the manpower to administer the nos of foreigner let alone knowing who are the genuine empoyers and who are rouge employers.

3. there are no protection for foreigners as in work pass common contract. this actually not only to protect genuine workers but also to deter emplpyers who had no need for job but to profiteer from middlemen fees.

from what i had seen , hear in singapore. we are not far from human trafficking at all.

i urge all singaporeans to talk to this workers, coffeshop china men or ladies, workers in factory, to get a real feel what is happening in singapore.

Please contact me. Thank you.

Time to vote out these miw pigs. Think they care about how these migrant workers are treated ? ! Think they care about the existence of recruitment companies who mercilessly abuse these workers ? No, in fact, they are advocating an increase in the levy. All they want is to fatten their own coffers to cover the massive loss by their incompetent TH & GIC.

fact: the foreign workers were mistreated. right or not?

at least TOC don’t sweep the bad things under the carpet.

A “speculative orgy” (to borrow term from the Great Crah 1929) in property market when the economic fundamntals is heading south, is sign of sucides, It has always been and higly likely will remain the same. Some group is gong for a kill anytime now.

In other countries the general public call it “IT IS WHAT IT IS” i.e. corruption, thus due to this Singapore has always been viewed as the least corrupt country compares to the neighbouring countries. And why not? Since the gahmen says so.

Take a look at these examples:

In other countries, appointing family members in cabinet as well as GLC is considered nepotism. But in Singapore it is meritocracy.

In other countries, losing public funds will be accounted as mismanagment corruption and negligence, But in Singapore, it is a business decision (Yah! A bad one that is)

In other countries, favouring one race over another is considered discrimination and favouritisim. But in Singapore, it is Meritocracy.

The list goes on and on..

It sweep underneath the carpet all bad news, hence, we oftenly see bad times or issue arrive suddenly.

这是 报喜不报忧

Certainly not in the way it treats its workers, both local and foreign.

They just take orders from their Minister to let in these foreign talent. Its not just the low salaried jobs that we are going overboard. Its the high salaried jobs as well.

Whats the result ? Singaporeans are sandwiched between the top end and the bottom end of the economic spectrum.

Sickens me, what the Govt is doing

I followed up on a link to Mr Siew Kum Hong’s blog about the speeches in Parliament about the issue – despite the claims of only 0.05% affected, the views of this disaffected minority must be heard, loudly even.

It’s a sad day to be Singaporean – to have people being treated this way on our shores is simply unjust and unfair and must be condemned. If our fellow Singaporeans can stand by and dismiss this as unimportant then half of our battle (for the various freedoms) is lost.

The article in this tread is not just a story to stir up sentiments but is one followed up closely by TOC’s reporting crew since mid-December. There are no anti-whatever sentiments to stir up except to ask questions of the authorities that be, on why such situations are allowed to happen in frist world Singapore; and what course of action these authorities will take to ensure that no future abuses will happen.

We have seen vigilante postings, attempting to stir up anti-TOC and anti-Opposition sentiments, and very much so since this afternoon.

TOCers, I trust, are more discerning than those who blindly and religiously follow the MSM and PAP propaganda.

TOC is only highlighting the problems foreign workers face and it is only the tip of the iceberg. Everyone agreed that foreign workers in a way contribute to the economy of Singapore and as such it is only fair we treat them fairly. They are here because our dollar is strong. Can one imagine if someday our dollar loses strength and we are forced to seek employment in another country where you are treated the same way as we are treating our foreign workers now. This day is’nt too far away.
