"“If you don’t study hard, you will be cutting grass like this man here”."
That is why Singapore need so many foreign talents to do lowly jobs.
And that is also why Sinkies are so unhappy. There are only so many REAL managers and senior executives positions and a lot of positions are FAKE.
It is always a good laugh when Aussies read Sinkies CVs and Singapore job positions like "Senior Executive, Finance" appears and I have explain that it is probably an administrative role earning less than $120,000 a year, and not a long standing and top ranking member of the management of an organisation.
