February 13th, 2012

Dear Singaporeans,
Foreign workers have overloaded our infrastructure, compete with mid-ranged PMETs for jobs, lower our starting salaries and jack up our housing cost.
Today, there are 1.8 million foreigners living in our midst and it looks like our government will not stop the influx so that our GDP will look good.
The government has also blamed us for not having enough births – so they have no choice but to bring in more foreigners to replace the slowing population.
We want to ask the government what have they done to improve births here? Nothing much unfortunately…
We are not targeting those foreigners who work in the service or construction sectors as these are jobs that Singaporeans have difficulty working due to the low pay structure and work nature.
However, we are very against the open-door nature of our manpower policy which allows employers to hire 100% foreigners using the Employment Pass (EP). The employers only need to pay a salary of $3000/month and the worker needs to have a basic degree in order to qualify for the EP passes.
We see many banks and MNCs employing 90-100% foreigners in their work places leaving local Singaporeans with no work opportunities.
EP holders have all along directly compete with local PMETs for work especially for those who are in the mid-range positions.
We have also heard of many stories of how foreign employers or HR managers employing their own kind in work places, further denying local Singaporeans of job opportunities.
This has to stop! This is our country!
We are petitioning that EP passes be issued with a quota so that local Singaporeans will not be disadvantaged.
We also want legislation in place to deter foreign employers from continuing employing their own kind - unfairly denying local Singaporeans from suitable positions.
