Well done to Singtel for thinking out of the box.

Hi Likud Sera-Noted your posting *8, you mentioned61% of jobs gone to foreigners….shocking and how about the local born Singaporeans (don’t tell me that they are choosy ie want easy work and high salary, gone are the days).Time has come to cut down foreign workers or so called Foreign Talents (FT), and to achieve this, perhaps time for our Parliament to pass a law to have 75% Singaporeans in the employers employment. Singaporeans must always come first.

Foreign workers represents a growing market for Singtel’s Prepaid Services, so this event is part of a public relations and marketing campaign.

The author wrote: This event is in line with a series of thematic marketing activities, which is targeted at the foreign workers’ communities. It aims to provide prepaid-card customers an opportunity to showcase their talents in a fun and interactive manner, and help foster “a conducive living environment within the dorms”.

It is quite clear. There is really nothing more to it.

This is one case I encountered. Apparently, even without a job offer, fortunately, foreigners from around the world who need a job are seeking employment here.

This is good for the employers. 61% jobs gone to foreigners I was informed.
More jobs occupied by foreigners than citizens. This is a good sign for employers. In a world crisis, people from all over who need a job can apply job here and give ample choice for employers to choose. We need to thank the policies. I am grateful. My ambition now is to be an employer. Employee? why would i want to be an employee when supply is coming from everywhere virtually?

Good work, TOC. I am in support of your pro-foreign-worker stand as i aim to be an employer asap and not be an employee considering for my future where my future is old age and old worker is not easy to be. great work interviewing singtel on the above event that seems to show care and concern for foreign workers. now i know singtel so caring and loving. muah ! muah!

It’s nothing unusual that they can speak English. Many I have met do speak a smattering of the language and some speak quite good English as well. It’s a perception which we may have of the Bangladeshis – another one is that they live in mud huts or in dilapidated housing back home. They do not necessarily.

I know of one who was an engineer, another who was a teacher, back in their country.

This Singtel event is also a sharp contrast to the exclusive Pay-Per-View New Year Eve Celebration

It is interesting to note TOC reporter Teng Jingwei was able to find English-speaking Foreign Worker for her interview.
