the problem lies with the employer and MOM should take actionhquek wrote:The distinction usually is drawn during registration. I mean, in work, and with friends, We usually don't go up to a person and ask - PR or citizen or foreigner...that's quite odd. In school, Sg/PR/foreigners, all are the same. it's the mode of going in I guess. I had classmates who were living in JB and commuting everyday. The only thought I remember was, "poor thing, got to wake up so early each day and spend so much time commuting".
But on a broader basis, will I be unhappy (not upset, but maybe a bit buey song) if PRs &/or foreigners enjoy the same privileges as citizens without the same responsibilities. Already I do hear of employers who prefer not to hire SG men becos they have NS liabilities which others don't have - and I'm not talking about small companies.
Sorry if I digress.

Re: Opinions of the Primary School Registration System
Agree, but this is very hard to prove. Already those cases reported in papers about preggies suddenly getting lousy work reviews, I don't know who's right/wrong.verykiasu2010 wrote: the problem lies with the employer and MOM should take action

Re: Opinions of the Primary School Registration System
my real life experience : got a SG citizen for the post of FC - he was very scheming, late for work, make false claims on expenses etc etc.....fed up - got a PR in at half the price, very hard working & trust worthy - he got promoted to my position after my promotionhquek wrote:Agree, but this is very hard to prove.

the truth is grim

The "truth"? based on one isolated example?verykiasu2010 wrote:markfch wrote:You are a brave man, vk2010; to say things that others don't like to hear.verykiasu2010 wrote: my real life experience : got a SG citizen for the post of FC - he was very scheming, late for work, make false claims on expenses etc etc.....fed up - got a PR in at half the price, very hard working & trust worthy - he got promoted to my position after my promotion

I also want to add another truth.. Many SG male citizens below 40yo ALWAYs absent from work/office for ~2 week every year! And it is not due to Annual leave. Very bad for business right? So, let's get PRs/FT so that biz can run with minimum disruptions..

Re: Opinions of the Primary School Registration System
I have no problem with employees having to do reservist, it is part and parcel of business. Dishonesty in work / conduct is something cannot be tolerated. One isolated case ? $4k per month finance assistant position (below manager rank) in Jurong, 5 day week, no OT, factory transport aircon coach provided : singaporean prefers to work in town. Malaysian need only S$2k to take the job. I once ran a finance dept of 100 staff, global group employment 15,000, these are the problems we face in Jurong. For every position we advertise, 10 are from citizens, 500 are from non-citizenslimlim wrote:The "truth"? based on one isolated example?verykiasu2010 wrote:the truth is grim

this is but the fact is that many citizens would deny that they are picky about jobs and locations
