our company got only 1 PR and employ all singaporeans. recruitment priority is singaporeans nos 1 and we are foreign company. whether the company decide to go foreign or not depend on company policy. most decide to abuse it. some will meet the quota to employ foreigner to lower cost.
singapore must reduce this foreigners at mid level job level. make it tougher to employ foreigners. if this company come to singapore just to save cost, maybe malaysia, thailand can be a better option., not singapore. this company just want to enjoy singapore convenience for their expats, security we provided, convenience of travel, and abuse the employment practices that is something we should not encourage.
You are right about the employment ratio and quota....it could be worse if company decide to leave SG, we'll all lose our jobs.....alot of foreign companies already shifted their Asian HQ to Thailand or Malaysia....this trend will affect SG job market....

Like I'd said, only those affected will know this problem, other luckier ones will not... I still dun understand why they pay 3x for the AngMo compared to local top talents...are they really that good ?
not only the salary, but also housing in cairnhill, children education in United world college or american school, .....any one item can feed a local manager liao.
Having said that, it is reasonable for the foreign companies to have one or two of their own people at the top. It is their company!
But, below the MD and the FC, there is much abuse as described by reyes. and who are these in the middle management, still their nationals, or the indians, the philippinos, because of their slightly better command in english, compared to the PRC, the Thai.
