Foreign Talents - As promised. =)

Well well well, what is it about foreign talents... This has been an issue dated 4years back? Things were like, Will this "ang mo" steal my rice bowl? ( Ang Mo is a hokkien word meaning Foreigners ).
Fellow Singaporeans.. If you were one of those, please slap yourself and wake up from the sweet dream of yours. You ought to be ashamed of yourself if you were to even think of that. Singaporeans are over protected by this Papa Government. And thus, we think as if we were like royalty.

Many will think that Lee Kuan Me made a bad move by bringing in Foreign talents, but look. If not for these Foreign talents, will you even take the hassle to upgrade yourself and stay competitive? I'm not pro government, but I'm stating facts here.

Adults, tend to think maturely, thus they are able to accept the fact that they lose out to the Foreign talents. However, I read a newspaper article recently. I was utterly ashamed and felt so disgraceful of our own fellow Singaporeans.

Interview with a primary school boy
Quoted: "My mother ask me not to talk to this Foreigner because, in the future he will steal away all my money."

What are parents teaching their kids these days? Shallow parents I have to say.

Another article was the Foreigner got bullied in school frequently for the past 2 years. He couldn't take the pressure anymore and charged towards the bullies. His strength was so strong that even 4 teachers couldn't hold him back. It's not that he's a heavy weight champ or he watched too much WWE.
but...
Everybody has 2 nature in us, one is our human nature and the other, beast form. Beast form only appears sub-consciously, so, don't assume that we are wolverine as and when we want to.
However, the beast nature is rarely shown unless we are being threatened. C'mon, even the friendliest puppy can become the ugliest murderer when you drove it to a corner. Everything has it's limit, when you crossed the limit or you crossed the line, you gotta be prepared to pay the price. The consequences, in short.

Foreign Talents do have families, like you and me. They left their hometown in search for a better place. If we were to think so childishly that they are here to make our life suffer, then I suggest you better not think of migrating away from Singapore. People from their country will most probably think the same that you do and outcast you. Don't forget they own the licence to purchase guns. I don't wish to see bullets being put through my brains. Retributions. Your kids might be the ones paying the price that you made.

Back to topic, Foreign talents are here for a reason. They are able to perform in their job much better than you can. Stop lamenting about your incapability to perform my fellow Singaporeans, how about learning from them and thus improving yourself? Open to suggestions and not be narrow-minded.
These foreign talents are not being hired to your company at such a high pay for no reason. They don't just speak perfect Queen English or Mao's Chinese. They think better, express themselves better, and excel in their job better. How are they able to do so? Because they learn, they reflect and they ASK. Is it so hard to open your mouth and ASK?

Singaporean kids these days are so over protected by their parents that I wanted to laugh at their ignorance.
One said,
Quoted: "Foreigners cannot take up scholarship in Singapore"
Hmm.. Who made that rule?
I mean, Singapore will give scholarship to anyone, WHO IS CAPABLE. Hello? Wake up, This is not M'sia. This is Singapore, a Country that practices Meritocracy.

If I were to ask any of the Tertiary Students who is the Finance Minster in Singapore. I doubt they are able to answer. Prove me wrong and I'll apologise.

The Foreign Talent issue has already made clear to us, that we, Singaporeans, have to change a mindset. There's no such thing as life is a bed of roses. Beneath that bed of roses, there's THORNS. But New age Singaporean children don't see it that way. They believe our PAPA Government will always be there to remove those thorns. PAPA won't be protecting you from rain all the time you know? One day, you have to venture out there alone. How are you going to survive in the war field?

This is just my two cents' worth of view.. haha..

Slam me. or agree with me. Enlightenment me.
