It is natural and instinctive for people of a community to be guarded towards an outsider or newcomer. We see it in the animal kingdom. For example, lions and chimpanzees, elephants and polar bear, even crocodiles for example all have similar instincts.

For good reasons: New comers can and would usurp the group members’ position and well being. This truism has been amply borne out and demonstrated time and again. Why should someone seen as a competitor or a robber (he/she robs you of your job and livelihood) be treated in any kind manner? Are you supposed to like someone who is going to stab you in the back. Can the govt who allow this in the first place reasonably expect any understanding or cooperation for citizens who see newcomers as threat to their lifestyle and source of living? And it would appear that the govt is not only not doing anything to materially help Singaporeans affected by the influx of foreigners, it in fact make it worse by adding to the woes of Singaporeans struggling to make ends meet by polices such as the GST and its unrelenting increase.

Fat hope. Why should citizens who are given the short end of the stick bend backwards, cut themselves, to accommodate a policy/govt that is forever asking them to make sacrifices but continues to add on instead of alleviating the pressure!

Like the story to illustrate the infamous Slater Walker modus operandi: Slater Walker approached a pig to set up a ham producing factory. The catch is that the pig has to be carved up for the raw material to make the ham! This is an analogy very closely to what is happening to us now in Singapore.

The brutal truth is that jobs are for foreigners and NS is for Singaporeans.

NS retards Singaporean male citizens economic competitiveness by delaying his entry into job market/higher education for 2 years and the 10 years annual 2-40 days in-camp training requirement on top of weekend recall manning, annual IPPT etc. makes us less attractive to foreigners ceteris paribus.

I don’t mind competing for jobs against foreigners.

I mind the Government tying one arm behind my back due to NS/reservist and yet expect me to compete against the immigrant horde?

Give me a break, and spare a thought for my fellow NSmen and NSF who died and will never ever have a chance to compete in Singapore Inc.

Majullah Singapura.
