Singaporeans can help Singaporeans by...
-
asking only for a Singaporean bank dealer, a Singaporean insurance agent, a Singaporean property agent, a Singaporean in all the services you need to pay fees to. I told a PR frankly in the face can he get a Singaporean colleague for me to pay my service wrap fees to as i rather give the job to a Singaporean now. Singaporean also need the money to live. No PR, no foreigner professional. Only Singaporeans to get the commission. It's a way we as Singaporeans can help our own countrymen in this current bad time.

I thought usually these jobs are taken by Singaporeans.
Bank dealer, Insurance agent, property agent, taxi driver, brokers are jobs that required licenses and these licenses can only be applied by Singapore or PR
Foreign professionals are all the engineers, executives, managers and more.

PROMOTING SINGAPOREANS TO FIRST CLASS JOBS
should and ought to be the motto
-
We as Singaporeans can also raise the standard of foreign workers in Singapore. For eg, when i do not understand the English of customer service people from other countries, i just tell them to repeat what they say because their English accent i can't catch. Next i will tell these foreign workers to pass my call to a Singaporean colleague whose English i can understand. In a way, i am helping the company to train their foreign workers to talk in better English by reminding them that their English sucks. I am raising our High Service Standard for these foreign workers to reach , if they can't reach the standard, then don't work here. Let me talk to my fellow Singaporean.
-
Why not we learn the foreign workers languages so we can communicate with them?
-
maybe we ask our Parliament to lead as an example first ? do you want to learn Mandarin so that you can speak to the PRC?
-
Ya the Parliament can lead as an example. That means we learn Mandarin to speak to the PRC, learn Tagalog to speak to the Philipino, learn Bangla to speak to the Bangladeshi workers.
-
i though they are the foreign talents?!!! they should have no problem learning our Singlish first, right ? already one mere pinoy clerk can laugh at all the Singaporeans to be so incompetent that we need them here to work, why not we demand high competency from these foreign talents then ?
-
Ya, they should learn our Singlish too, and we also learn their Mandarin, Tagalog and Bangla.
-
We Singaporeans will start to show our competency to the world by being able to speak 20 languages, then the world will awe at Singaporeans.
-
i don't think we stop at Singlish leh....we still have hokkien, cantonese, a bit of malay , maybe ask MOE to add Tagalog, China's various dialects into our school curriculum. Singaporeans will be the most talented language specialist in the world. First our Parliament must lead by example. Waiting for one MP to use Tagalog...lols....

forget aboutr sporeans helping sporeans...60%didnt even cared if everypne died of overwork and high cost of living in spore.
-
i think some of the 60% do not have enough true information to make their decision on. For eg, a friend of mine only know recently that MR TT defer his son's NS for 12 years and he was so shocked. TT is definitely out for him liao. Most Singaporeans are too busy to read forums like this one , some are elderly or uneducated aunties/uncles. More should be done to reach out to them lor.
-
too late.
-
ya too late, so now Singaporeans must help Singaporeans in their own small way. Can't wait for the big one up there to do it.
-
Good initiative. But too little and too late. And having been with some SGians they will also go for the cheapest price irrespective of who is selling it,just like the Govt.
