“<i>…they seem to take control of work places and creating little village of their own…</i>” : Mike.
You sure know what you are talking about. Let me relate the situation in my office to lend support to your words.
My department has 70 plus workers. Fortunately, the managers and executives are all Singaporeans. In fact, my manager was formerly a director of one of the CDCs. He very much agrees with me that the PAP has lost some of its direction and that the influx of foreign workers is getting out of hand.
The most unfortunate part was that when he took over, there were already so many foreign workers in the department – all employed by the former manager – whose main consideration was to cut cost then. Cheap labour was the preferred choice.
The result of having so many foreign workers is that they tend to gather among themselves. During the course of their daily work, they would consult among themselves, in their own language and support each other when arguing a point.
During break times, they also mingle among themselves and whenever a Singaporean colleague comes within their circle, they will give the impression that he is not welcomed. They are oblivious to their surroundings, bringing food that smell like dead rats when micro-waved. Talk at the top of their voice and laughing as if they own the whole damn place.
Who are these foreigners you may ask. Well, they come from the Philippines, Burma, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, India and Malaysia.
