I do not believe that's the way it should be.
Look, they (the Singaporean) need us as much as we need them. Don't let them fool you into believing otherwise.
Although you could call it a marriage of convinience (we need the job and money - they need the manpower to do the job to get money), do note that we have our rights as well. Rights that include not being discriminated against.
Arguments that they don't have a hinterland where they can hide in, is not valid. Serving NS is their national obligation. Using it to complain is just not a valid reason.
This is becuase without the "foreigners" and "PRs" they love to "hate", Singapore will be nothing more than a tourist destination. We help them build SG to where it is today.
let me say something fair as a singaporean.
Ya, grumbling is a national hobby
most ppl who complains, regardless, malaysian in malaysia, singaporean in singapore or american in america, they are bunch of ppl who mostly cant make it in life and thinks the whole world owes them money.
They are ppl who hate the foreigners, but not all singaporean are like that.
i understand that foreigner issue is not unique to singpore, likewise malaysia have issues with too many foreigners living in kl too so does Australia, the states and all
yes, without the foreign workers that slog their life in construction sites, singapore wont be wht it is but many singaporean, as stated above, cannot comprehend that.
so peace.
i don mind foreigners so long they don spit, urine in public and talk super loud on the street
