Initially it all started from maids......In most Singapore household, both parents are working, so maids has to be employed to look after our homes.

Next, because of housing booms, contract workers has to be employed for the construction industries. Next comes cleaners, sweepers and general labour.

The above are employed because Singaporeans don't want manual work. ( suppose so ).

The next group called " Foreign Talent " ( no body knows what it means ) perhaps the authorities are also confused.

Singapore has several hugh ITE COLLEGES. What does it do ? Surely it should produce workers who are good with their hands.

Next we have so many POLYTECHNICS, the earlier ones are producing technicians since 1960. Already 48 years old. So are we in need of TECHNICAL PEOPLE ? of course not.......
Next we have so many TOP NOTCH UNIVERSITIES. The authorities are comparing them next to HARVARD, CAMBRIDGE and MIT. Are we short of PROFESSIONALS ? of course not.....
So .........who are all those FOREIGN TALENTS we are talking about ?
![oops](http://www.punggol.sg/forum/Smileys/default/sbox_oops.gif)
Medical Specialist, Famous world renown architects, engineers, financial experts, famous economist. All these should be our needed FOREIGN TALENT.
Surely Singapore dont need, counter salesgirls, waitresses at eateries, factory supervisors, information technology staffs and all others where our ITES and Polytechics can produced. RIGHT ?
