No one is pointing a gun on the foreheads of these FTs from India to take up PR citizenship..If they are not happy then why come to Spore to work? Spore is a tiny island and we can't afford to have the luxury of having more foreigners comin to our shore... We are too overcrowded.. I believed there are currently more than
200,000 Indian Nationals in Spore..
You mentioned the contribution of these FTs.. For God's sake, these FTs are being paid well to come and work in Spore... Its not as if they are being paid only 500 rupees every month by their employers in Spore..
You mentioned '' a major cultural difference ''...and integrating... These Indian expats in Spore have never integrated fully with the locals and they very much prefer to congregate among their countrymen here.. Having been in Spore since 2002 doesn't mean that you know everything about Spore..Go and read up on the many cases of Sporeans being marginalised in their work place by the majority of their colleagues who are mostly Indian nationals..You mentioned about Sporeans owning many properties in JB.. For your info, Sporeans and Malaysians share many similarities in culture and history.. We may have our political differences but Malaysians will usually welcome Sporeans crossing the Causeway with open arms due to our common history and heritage.. The same cannot be said of these Indian FTs.. There are far too many differences between us and them in terms of language, culture and our way of lives.. Their anti social habits are also well known to true blue Sporeans.. I may sound racist to you but its a fact that these Indian FTs are notorious for their aloofness, snobbishness and Maharaja like attitude when engaging with normal Sporeans.. Don't believe me then, go to Parkway Parade on a Sunday and duly observed these Indians doing their shopping..
