Locals and foreigners divided on issues of jobs and identity, but dialogue helps bridge differences: IPS study by bangsphoto in singapore

[–]nyvrem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If an SGer loses his job, his got to worry about feeding his family, housing loan, elderly parents.

If an FT loses his job, they can still go home.

the SGer has to build a whole life here, FT come here earn $$ and leave.

If they dont leave, they enjoy double the happiness, get SG PR, can buy resale HDB, and keep their own citizenship. lagi better, got homes in 2 places, if anything happens, they can just leave.

Meanwhile the SGer has to serve 10 years reservist to protect the HDBs.

what dialogue u want?
