Think about how great it will be if the employment does not discriminate based on "race, religion, gender, disability, age, sexuality, pregnancy etc". Incidentally, did you all notice, that all the countries where enacted anti-discrimination law are democracy? What is Singapore? Without democracy, singapore may be a developed economy, but not a socially fair place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11957101.post-82571343743321434302007-04-27T10:41:00.000+08:002007-04-27T10:41:00.000+08:00Oh, BTW, we have maybe 50 people in Singapore, 2 o...Oh, BTW, we have maybe 50 people in Singapore, 2 of which are foreigners, all others are Chinese, Malay or Indians (all local).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11957101.post-91847820675917638332007-04-27T10:38:00.000+08:002007-04-27T10:38:00.000+08:00Well, how about the discrimination of Government a...Well, how about the discrimination of Government agencies against foreign companies? <BR/>Governement agencies can put so many road blocks in the path, if you apply for something that it is better to just leave Singapore alone and go elsewhere in Asia, for example Hong Kong.<BR/>You can comply with the same international standard in 200 countries of the world, but if you come to Singapore, that standard is understood totally different, just for you, because you are a competitor and without their approval you can't do anything legally.<BR/>If we don't get that approval we just have to shut down operations in Singapore or go bancrupt slowly because of losing market share.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11957101.post-1147573110540007492006-05-14T10:18:00.000+08:002006-05-14T10:18:00.000+08:00Remember during the year 1998 after France won th...Remember during the year 1998 after France won the World Cup then and soon a high ranking Minister commented afterwards on front page about bringing in Foreign Talent?

It brings me back to when I was job searching after my national service for a grand total of 07 months unsuccesfully going for dozens of interviews. The thing was & still is I am not that highly educated and as such the kinds of jobs that I was applying for were in fact entry level jobs and offered paltry remuneration. Remembering the way the government has accused singaporeans of being too choosy disgusted me as I was not choosy and was willing to work anywhere but it was frustrating to apply and have the mandarin speaking/writing prerequisite on every job opening. FYI I can speak mandarin and this didnt help one iota. I only got the present job I have now through help from an officer of mine during my ns days. Started work at a basic of 850 dollars and this was in 1997. I am currently unhappy at my job but thinking of my past experiences looking for a job it seems that if i do it i'll have an even worse time now. Was reading in the new paper the other daya about how this malay guy was taking mandarin lessons for the express purpose of getting a job. I didnt know wether to laugh or to cry after reading that.MHShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15955852709400112369noreply@blogger.com
