My mum – a loyal PAP supporter for 3 decades, went for some english courses just recently. I enrolled her for these classes from our ‘famous’ “N” organization to allow her to get some conversational knowledge of English and she came home depressed.
I asked her why, she said her entire class was filled with PRCs and she was the only Singaporean. She said from the second day of the lesson already they were so rude – kept talking in class and when the teacher asked them to tone down & listen first, they threatened to complain about her and continued to insist that even if they do not listen, its the job of that teacher (a SG retiree) to continue teaching till they understand (though they don’t listen) and one after another verbally they slammed the teacher till the teacher cried.
What really depressed my mum was the words these PRCs said… they said..”You Singaporeans are stupid, thats why your gahmen needs us to come, they begged us to come, otherwise we won’t even consider coming. We will share the loopholes we found with our own people to that allow us to run successful businesses overseas, using funds from you stupid people. At the end of the day, don’t worry we will not stay here forever, we will leave one day and that day you people will beg us to stay because we are already wealthy after using you”
My mum said she was really upset though she kept quiet throughout because she felt the PRCs gals were really smart and many of them claimed intimate connections to gahmen, and all of them working ‘professionals’ – some for our new IRs and she was afraid. She said she feel so out of place. But I told her this is Singapore – our home, so do not feel out of place because this is where we belong, sadly this is Singapore today.
Just sharing my personal experience. Though we need foreigners to a certain extent for construction, nursing, etc. But definitely not people who regard us as xxxx and despise us. Though we need to have competition to grow and globally no matter where we go… theres bound to be competition but what appalls me is the audacity of these new migrants in our country, where it now feels like we are the poor cowering migrants to the new masters of our home singapore.
