The taxi driver worked very hard to bring up his 3 childrens only to be destroyed within seconds from a reckless China foreign "talent". This is not something that is easily forgettable when it comes to the next election. PAP has build itself a lot of bad karma and will in times pay back to the people they affected. Those PAP people or supporters better pray hard to atone for their daily sins...
Talking about foreign talent, I remember the good old days (1970's), when only the professionals and real talents could obtain a professional pass, whereas the not so plentiful, may be less skilled and unskilled could only obtain a work permit.
Based on my most recent visit to Singapore, it appears that there could be a million foreigners or very recent foreigners turned PR's (which may Singapore very crowded and the resultant strain on the infrastructure and crowded MRT / buses), whom, in my respectful view, may take a longer time, if they eventually do, to integrate, because, amongst others:
1. unable to adapt and / or adopt the local language and culture (if I asked them for directions, almost all of them are unable to tell me, or told me the wrong directions - fortunately, on one occasion, there was an attractive and business like lady in her 30's who walked hurriedly to chase after me to tell me the correct directions to the Fairmont Hotel - and I thanked her profusely);
2. they do no have to serve NS, and therefore, lack the opportunity to bond like the rest of us, and I speculate that before or by the time their son(s) are required to serve NS, most of them would have moved on to their final destination country of choice - and Singapore is their stepping stone;
3. to give them the benefit of doubt, most of the lower skilled foreign workers are working long hours, and may not have the time to integrate, which means that the government has failed in its policy to flood the country with low skilled foreign workers whether deliebrately or not, to depress the wages of the lowest two deciles of Singaporeans.
May be one of you could start a new discussion thread on Foreign Workers and its Resultant Undesirable Effects
