<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->Where from: The majority are from the South Indian states of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.
Likely to see them: At shipyards and construction sites. On their days off, they head to Little India and Mustafa Centre.
Living in: Dormitories in Jurong West and Kaki Bukit.
Mr Sirasapalli Chandrasekar, 23, came to Singapore 21/2 years ago and is already a welding supervisor at Jurong Shipyard.
As a pipe welder in Andhra Pradesh, he was constantly worried about losing his job to the many other young men in his village.
To secure his future, he left his parents and two elder sisters for Singapore. His father helped to pay his agent fees of several hundred dollars.
He now earns almost thrice the amount he got as a village welder and remits $1,000 home each month.
He lives in a dormitory in Jurong West and hopes to make Singapore his home one day. He spoke in English.
How do Singaporeans tend to see you?

They have been very kind to me. I've never experienced any prejudice, either at the workplace or outside. My Singaporean colleagues at work have never treated me like an outsider. When I go out on my days off and get lost, Singaporean passers-by will help show me the way.
How do you feel about this?

I'm very thankful. Singapore is a good country. Even though I'm a foreign worker, I know that if I work hard, I will get promoted and paid well.
Singaporeans think foreign workers have bad habits. How true is this?

I think this is all a misunderstanding. Not all foreign workers drink and urinate at void decks. I don't drink alcohol myself. After work, I rest at the dormitory with my friends. I really hope Singaporeans can accept us over time.
Where should foreign workers live if Singaporeans don't want workers to live near them?

The workers' dormitories are a good place. They are comfortable, have good facilities and are not very near to where the locals live.
Last words
I want to save money and buy a home in Singapore. I think it is a very nice place to live in and I'm sure my parents will like it here.

=> Send money back to Bangalannd and still claim wanna buy home here. Sounds like the last sentence is added by some silly running dog to pray down the huge $ leakage arising from the unbridled FTrash influx!

Mr Jonathan Thang, 45, a construction worker from Myanmar, has been in Singapore since 1997. He says when he is out shopping, shopkeepers follow him around their stores as if he is likely to steal something.

<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->Where from: Many come from the central and western areas of Myanmar.
Likely to see them: At construction sites and Peninsula Plaza.
Living in: Dormitories in Jurong West, Toh Guan off Bukit Batok, and Kaki Bukit.
Mr Jonathan Thang, 45, has been in Singapore since 1997. He was a government clerk and paid $1,600 to come here, leaving behind his spouse, a housewife, and four children in the town of Falam in the north-western part of Myanmar.
He earns $800 a month as a construction worker with Sanko, a Japanese electrical and instrumentation construction company, and remits $500 home monthly. He has four days off each month.
Mr Thang intends to return to his country in two years and dreams of seeing his children, aged 16 to 21, work in Singapore as white-collar workers. He spoke in English.
How do Singaporeans tend to see you?

I feel a bit disappointed that Singaporeans don't trust us. They are very scared that we want to steal their things or rob them. The way they talk, the way they look at us, especially in shopping centres - like when I want to buy a pair of trousers, the shopkeeper follows me wherever I go, like he is scared that I will steal something.
How do you feel about this?

We are also human beings. We know the laws in Singapore. We know that, in Singapore, we have to follow the rules.
We are just here to earn money. We do nothing to you. Why are you scared of us? We have our own discipline, and we don't want to make any trouble.
Singaporeans think foreign workers have bad habits. How true is this?

When we speak, sometimes we shout or speak loudly because that is our habit. But it's not true that we drink every day and get drunk. I usually drink only once a month, when I get my salary. We are very tired, so when we get our salary, we want to relax.
When I arrived here, I had to stop smoking because there are so many places where you cannot smoke. I also had to stop littering.
Where should foreign workers live if Singaporeans don't want workers to live near them?

Our culture and traditions are different, so there might be problems between Singaporeans and us.
Maybe the Government should consider building one big place for all foreign workers to live in. It should have enough supplies, supermarkets and canteens.
Last words
I miss my children, but I tell them that I'm struggling for their future. I've gone back three times so far, and I miss them a lot, so I call them once every week.



=> Many Sporns are also struggling while the ministers are the best paid in the world, but do u see the 154th championing Sporns' cause?

we also have people going overseas to work,but the numbers is not much.

The real cause for small biz not being able to survive in Sg is the Papayas' sucking efficiency! And the insatiably greedy Papayas seek to maintain this efficiency by selling out Sporns and replace them with FTrash. Unfortunately 66% coolie rice bowlers are too fxxx in their blain to see it and accept it meekly - while still giving the BEST pay to the useless ministers. In other countries, such incompetent govt would have been toppled and tried for treason!
