I agree that govt needs to do what it can to ensure employability. But remember that Sg is a small country. I can honestly say that the scale at which industry wants people cannot be matched in Singapore probably for the long term. That's why Sg has done smart thing by being the best in a few...

True and I am perfectly okay with that. Firms should employ who they think is best for their business. If they choose someone less competent because of race then eventually they will lose out. I will do my best to qualify myself to get the best possible outcome for myself.

Yep.. thanks.

Ok.. I am going for now... nice talking to you.

I think the US is OK too. Lots of success Indians. In fact like I said earlier US is first choice.

I have experienced a bit of racist looks , but nothing institutional because I have not accessed government systems. But as long as I live in my bubble is okay. Time will tell when my kids grow older. In fact in Canada they do not consider your Indian qualification and that is discriminatory...

Hmm.. I only know that it's still not prevalent but eventually if you are qualified well it will happen. I see more of my Indian friends with local spouses , both male and female. They are all well qualified with good jobs. But yea I don't know the society well enough. Hope sons will.

I was not aware of CECA until a year or so ago. Perhaps because I came before it was signed. I think the proof is that the racial Indian population is still 8%. Indians are not getting PR or citizenship nowadays So I think other ethnicities can rest easy.

In 50 years I hope Singapore races intermarry and becomes truly mixed.

Lol.. that means you have no idea what defending someone means. I cannot abuse a race because one person or a few do something wrong. That's being a bigot. Just because others in the forum are like that doesn't make it right. I still stand by what I said. This guy is wrong. And so are you when...

But that should not matter as long as we are trained to think Singaporean. There should be more inter racial marriages. Let's see how it goes.

I am training and encouraging my boys to do NS. 2 years is nothing. Do your kids like it there?

Sg has 5 million people.. how many millions are ceca, do you know? Ok I am an immigrant. Fine. My sons born and raised in Singapore. Will you discriminate them as well?

Trash talking only shows that you don't have an intelligent response.

Talking disrespectfully about a certain people does not reflect well. A good proportion of those are Indians. In many cases a majority. Depends on team. In big banks in Singapore the job goes to the best candidate. If I am a foreign bank investing billions in Singapore I want the best talent to...

Well there are significantly more Employment pass holders now compared to 2004 when I came. Ceca numbers are not clear. Its just perception that there lot of Indians because of one or two enclaves in the east where the IT departments of banks are concentrated. Last 3 or 4 years number of Indians...

It's OK Lah!! I can understand their frustration too. Sgp has been tolerant under the steady hands of LKY and will keep that tradition because the great dude built the worlds best institutions. But whether you agree with me or not, Singapore population is declining because of low birth rate...

No relatives here. Only friends. I am not in favour of SG demographics changing drastically. In fact I want my sons to become more Singaporeans in values and thought. I am OK if they marry interracial. After all this country and people have given my prosperity.

I am in the IT department of the bank. I am indian but moved from US / Canada 17 years ago. Banking is now slowing a bit. The fintech companies are the place to be. But I growing older and tired now to change. Overall I am happy being here and hope to contribute more. My first son will shortly...

Look much as I disapprove of not masking properly, and shouting when corrected, I have also seen locals bevaing in a similar fashion and Caucasians. No one is playing race victim card here. There are people from all races trying to do the same thing as he did. So chill on the race aspect please.
