Help S'pore get ahead instead of griping about PRs
Tue, Jun 08, 2010
my paper

AFTER reading the letters in my paper, "Some seek PR status only to get hands on CPF savings" (May 31), and, "Patriotic paddlers"

Maybe not? (June 3), I felt sorry about how the writers view foreign talent here.

As a permanent resident (PR), I do my best to fit into Singapore society.

As a teacher, I always give my best to my students, most of who are Singaporean. It would never occur to me to discriminate against them based on their nationality.

As mentioned in another letter, "Housing a factor in PRs giving up status" (my paper, June 1), PRs pay taxes, too.

They are also here to help Singapore prosper.

Saying that PRs are here merely to enrich themselves and cash in on their Central Provident Fund savings is narrow-minded and childish.

PRs have the right to choose their paths and to make plans for the future. No one should tell them what they should or should not do.

Those who complain about PRs should do their best for their country. They should try to be good citizens who can boost Singapore's progress.

Their time would be better spent doing that than gnashing their teeth over foreigners.

It is a fact that PRs are here merely to enrich themselves and cash in on their Central Provident Fund savings. There is nothing narrow-minded nor childish about it. If this bitch Andreyana think otherwise, why not forgo her CPF monies and donate to the gov or Singaporeans if she is really here to help Singapore prosper?

And yes, PRs do have the right to choose their paths and to make plans for the future. No one should tell them what they should or should not do. Likewise, no PR should tell Singaporeans what to complain or not complain about. Singaporeans have every right to kick all PRs out of Singapore if they deem PRs are a threat to their livelihood and security. No PRs should tell them what they can or can not do.

Citizens also has the right to choose how they want to treat PRs - who technically are just "guests" here. If these guest do not know how to respect and adapt to the host, they are not wellcome here.

Why is she so pissed? Has she been treated "unfairly"

If she is as good as she said in her profession, she should feel wellcomed and treated well by her school and teachers. So why the anger?

A teaching associate (what the fark is that? a trainee music teacher) is not a foreign talent. Last time our maths/science/language teachers also can double hat as a music teacher what........... so why do we need to bring in such trash who think so highly of themselves?

As long as there are no illegal acts committed, there is nothing for the so-called "foreign talents" or the government officials who try to talk them up, to complain.

For example, if a Singaporean chooses to ignore any questions asked by a "foreign talent" or refuses to patronize a stall run by one of them or hangs up the phone whenever one of them is on the line, is there anything wrong?

There is nothing wrong, as long as the Singaporean doesn't commit any illegal acts or incite others to commit illegal acts. It is his freedom of choice, no different from the ministars' choice not to take public transport or to sit down and have dinner with Bangladesh workers in the evening.

Well done to 154th for successful pro Ftrash propagenda. Now the foreigners are climbing on top of our heads.

I wish to congratulate you for bringing in talents who would grope your wives and daughters.

And I wish you a speedy recovery after foreigners slash you for $10 and your handphone.
