Agreed that this is sad, I am very sure that there are enough skill workers to fill up all positions there is no need to have Filipinos to be in but I doubt Resort Sentosa would ever care. Why costing of Manpower,It alway cheaper to get Filipino to work, Am I talking rubbish? I too apply along with the thousands of people in Suntec city during their recruitment, but until today after so many weeks I still waiting for interview, there isn't even a call.
Am I not qualified for the work? I have two hotel skill certificates with 10 years of experiences in Hotel Industry and 7 years of Retail experiences with a service excellent silver star award for 2008, isn't that two industry most qualified for the Jobs they have? and that me only, I have many friends in both industry willing and ready to take up offers from Resort Sentosa but did they call any of us? What happen to the pledge the given to Singapore when they first apply for the License?
I too have lose hope in Resort Sentosa and all their talk of helping Singapore.
This is what they said about the career fair Suntec City :
The Career 2009 job fair that the trio attended at Suntec City in March was a success for Resorts World, which attracted 20,000 applications for 800 positions on offer. Eventually, the resort will have 10, 000 staff when it opens in 2010.
In the huge pool of talent that Resorts World has amassed in the job applications are team members who will launch Resort World's operations in early 2010. Are you amongst them?
RWS's Senior Vice President for Human Resources and Training, Ms Seah-Khoo Ee Boon said "My colleagues and I find it heartening to know that many people want to join Resorts World at Sentosa. The task at hand involves picking a winning team for the mega resort's opening in early 2010. I'm confident that strong support for our recruitment ads and job fair presentations points to healthy public support once the resort opens its doors. "
See...There are actually 20000 people applying for the job...is there a need for Filipino????

Hi Steven, have you tried calling them up to enquire about the status of your application? I chased up with the company that I applied a job for to let them know I am very serious.

Sometimes,or even many a times,there are Filippinos operators receiving our calls,n their English is sooo slang n poor that its a torture listening to their stupid English.
Our retarded PAP ministers must be too brainless to invite them to work in our country.
Slang and accent are two different things.Local Slang cannot be understood unless you learn it yourself.Accent is when you agak agak and think you understand what that person is talking about.Filipinos think their English is good and sounds American but they have a little hispanic in their speaking style and pronunciation.On the other hand Singaporean English is alot clearer and easier to understand if only the speaker speaks a little slower.Next to Singaporeans I would say them pinoys are second best English speakers in the region but almighty when it comes to taking low paying jobs that no thinking human wants
Steven G , i really empathise with u man. This Gahmen n all the rubbish talk abt helping his people are bullshit i think. What i see now is even doctors in my family are leaving town and settling overseas permanently. It is not because the land is greener on the other side. It is because the country do not cherish its local talents. Y cherish when they can always import from overseas. Even the athletes representing OUR COUNTRY( i almost forgot i have one) are imported from overseas.
This country is losing its people. I was so proud to be a Singaporean 15 years ago. I remember sitting in the Kallang Stadium and waving the Singapore flag proudly on our National Day. Now, i got laughed by my foreign friends for being a Singaporean. They laughed at my country for being so unfair to his people. Even one of my friends from China have the audacity to say that they will be the ones governing our country someday.
Today, Singapore has become like the US. I won't be surprise in 10 years time, there ill be an Obama from China standing on the podium and addressing us on National Day parade.(I will be so disgust and perhaps dig a hole n bury myself). A country that is packed with immigrants. Please don't give me rubbish about my ancestry. I was borned and raised here. The Gahmen is giving our PRs like nobody business, cause they r the Gahmen. Even my friend who just got her PR after studying for 3 years here at a local poly out of her own pocket money sighed at the fact that another girl who came and worked as a waitress also got her PR. She wonder why she even care to get a diploma when any father's mother's son or daughter who fly in from their foreign lands can just stem their roots here and claim worthy to be a Singaporean.
I served the Nation. What abt them?
What a k, bloody pee ay pee!
You must understand that they damaged if not destroyed the Singapore economy and to repair it, they need to increase the population to create demand. The way to do that is of course, to betray their own citizens in favour of foreigners like in this case. They are behaving like the despicable traitors of a country that you come across throughout human history.
Time is not ripe yet, when it is they will receive retribution. KNN PAP!
The casinos will suck precious disposable income of the people, especially at a time like this, which the people would have spent on local enterprises.
The cursed despot and his relatives and cronies justified that by saying it would create jobs.
Now the country is hit by the double blow... not only are disposable incomes sucked out of the local economy, the jobs are going to foreigners that will be sending their wages back home.
HOARD YOUR MONEY!!!! The last hope for the country, the casinos (which almost everyone agreed when they asked for feedback before going ahead, is an evil) are turning out to be a disaster for the country in this global downturn!!!
and send the email, see: 11 Mar `09, 3:50AM
All they care about is themselves. Bloody despots run the country to serve their own selfish interest.

singaporeans are slowy and surely becoming second class citizens lar, even at a time, foreigners are allocated jobs when singaporeans ought to be accorded more attention. Isn't it time that we wise up n cast the ballots and make ti known - if these state of affairs persist - lan lan lor!
if these state of affairs persist - lan lan lor!
It is the fault of the dog.

assuming they're serious and not speaking out of jest, if your friends have the audacity to talk this way to you about your country and laugh at you, it speaks volumes about their respect for you doesn't it?

Your foreign friends have no respect for you because the despots, your own government has no respect for you.
You are right. You must die for your country (as an NS man) while they cash in on the despot's policies.
How did this type of situation arise? Singapore has a cursed despot dictating to Silliporeans that is why!
You see Dave2000, singaporeans dont want the foreigners job, can you go clean the highways? take the garbage? or go up high the construction? I hired so many foreigners already and no singaporeans are applying for the job. If not for them, you will be walking in a dirty place, nobody iscleaning, and still you complain, you dont want your hands to get dirty.
I am a foreigner too and I do business here in singapore, anyways 80 percent of singapore businessmen are foreigners, so if you dont want us here in singapore then singapore will be poorer than any counry, believe me. And also I think the filipinos speaks english perfectly no problem about that. Your just a racist, and you too are asian. So dont be like that.

Before you get on the moral highhorse and condemn my fellow citizens,
1. Where did you get the statistics that you qoute '80% of businessmen are foreigners' from?
This is an outright lie, a joke, a laughable deliberate misconception on your deluded ego that you, a mere pissant foreigner sought to impose your domineering racist views upon us Singaporeans as colonnial masters did once during their cruel colonnisation to our forefathers. Take your racist crap and shove it where it does not shine in your own body part.
2. No doubt we need you, to make full use of you only, foreigner, as you intend to make full use of us. So spare us your righteous bullshit and crap.
3. Have you wondered why hardworking and productive Singaporeans will not take such jobs as you mentioned? Do you or would you accept $500 per month for the heavy labour you have to undertake, and with it to pay for the house, your family and their medical expenses, etc?
You capitalist foreigner, had been profitting off our backs and we had been silent, and allowed other foreigners to be your slaves. STFU, if i were you, and maintain the status quo. We Singaporeans arent as stupid as you presumed, you son of a bitch!
(PS. probably when morning comes and the alcohol in my red wine dissipates, i may tender a apology, but in the meantime, enjoy my post, foreigner)

Feels good exploiting your own kind doesn't it ?
Lining your pocket, driving around in your fast cars paid by the sweat and toil of your own foreign kind...
while you sleep in that upscale condo they are sweeping the streets in a foreign land....yet you pay them meagre salary allowances ....
it must be heaven ain't it ? How proud you must be of your own filthy kind.

Hey fucking foreign idiot , come here to talk trash. Most Filipinos are plain selfish and arrogant bastards just like u !!!
I am not condemning anybody, you were the ones who's condemning foreign people, and I think its wrong to say that. I am not talking about filipinos only, I am talking about indians, bangladesh, indonasians, myanmars, chinese etc... They are more dependable workers. Just be thankfull they clean up your mess and makes beautifull structures for you. I am a european guy by the way, I am not filipino.

Rather than to rub each other the wrong way, let's start afresh and try to foster better understanding, even though yet again you cast a slur against Singaporeans, implying they are not as dependable than foreign workers.
Sure, we are thankful they clean up our mess and build beautiful structures PAID by us. But at what social cost?
Have you considered that if there were no foriegners around, companies would have to pay more in order to profit, or at least share their profits around by paying more in order to survive?
I am not sure if i am dealing with a talent or not, so i have to write simply. If you are an educated talent, you would know what kind of economic theories written by others I mean.
Just consider a waitress' pay on Christmas Island and ours. It is twice and even 3 times the amount one gets here. Why? Because the islanders were protected. But that island in truth is only sustainable for limited growth, and not the kind of growth we singaporeans are expecting for us and our next generations. Thus the trade off - to get cheap labour for bosses to profit and in the meantime they will need higher skilled staff earning more filled by our locals.
The only grouse comes from those who may not be as educated, or skillful as others, or older and subsequently lagged behind to face the foreigner hordes.
Worse still, and many singaporeans found out, there are many employers who took advantage of this economic system to fill even well paid jobs with younger and cheaper foreign workers/talents.
Isn't the exploitation of cheap labour immoral? You are the boss, so you are in a better position to answer that. I only know that it would be immoral if our own valued citizens starve, in a globalised world that you bosses dictate and demand to societies.
Let it not be said we are racists, or undependable, unreliable, or whatnots. Spend a bit more time here before you criticise next and be not selectively blind.

They are not just taking the 3 kinds of jobs ok ?( Hard dirty and dangerous).
They are now at Mcdonalds.. sitting behind customer service counters.. cooking Singaporean foods in Hawker centers.. teachers in Pre-schools... filling up administrative jobs in companies etc etc. Those are not jobs Singaporeans do not want.
You call yourself a businessman ? Don't fake it lah.
