S'POREANS COMPETE WITH FOREIGNERS ON UNLEVEL PLAYING FIELD
How can ordinary Singaporeans compete with foreigners for jobs, when the playing field is not level – so extremely unlevel?
How do you compete with foreigners all over the world, who can come on a tourist visa – look for a job and stay when they find one – who are willing to work for much lower pay?
How to you compete with foreigners when employers can save as much as 18 per cent of wages, because foreign workers do not have to make CPF contributions?
How do you compete with male foreigners when they do not have to take leave due to National Service reservist training?
How do you compete with female foreigners who cannot (work permit holders) or are unlikely (employment pass holders) to get pregnant and take four months maternity leave, because they came to Singapore as singles or their husbands are not in Singapore?
How do you compete with foreigners who are typically on two year contracts, and are unable (work permit holders) or unlikely to resign (employment pass holders) for at least two years – thus reducing employers’ turnover problems?
How do you compete with foreigners whose cost of living needs are much lower than yours?
Odds are stacked against S’poreans?
In the final analysis, it may not be so much about Singaporeans unwilling to compete, but rather that the odds are so stacked against them!

普通新加坡人如何与外国人竞争就业,当竞争场所不是水平 - 这么极端不平等? 你如何与世界各地的外国人竞争,谁可以来旅游签证 - 寻找工作,留下来,当他们找到一个 - 谁愿意为更低的工资工作? 当雇主可以节省高达18%的工资时,如何与外国人竞争,因为外国工人不必缴纳公积金? 如果因为国民服役预备役训练而不必休假,你如何与男性外国人竞争? 你如何与不能(工作许可证持有人)或不太可能(工作签证持有人)的女性外国人竞争怀孕,并休四个月的产假,因为他们来到新加坡,因为单身或他们的丈夫不在新加坡? 如何与通常为两年合同,无法(工作许可证持有人)或不太可能辞职(工作签证持有人)至少两年的外国人竞争,从而减少雇主的流动问题? 你如何与外国人的生活需求的成本远远低于你的竞争? 赔率是堆叠对S'poreans? 归根结底,它可能不是那么多关于新加坡人不愿意竞争,而是对他们的赔率如此堆叠! 梁世贤原来pap也是宁赠外人,不予家奴
