Read this article about Korean fresh grads getting employed in Singapore.
These are not the only type of foreign fresh grads getting jobs in Singapore. Meanwhile, 1/3 of our own fresh graduates are employed on contract basis. Of the 2/3 of local fresh grads whom are getting permanent jobs, how many % are Singaporeans?
I understand that local talent supply may not be sufficient in terms of numbers + specialisation for all employers in SG. As such, we take in experienced FTs.
BUT the fact that foreigner FRESH grads are taking up jobs in SG, especially in such an open and public manner, is an alarming problem. Usually, by the time you read about something in the news, it's been brewing for a while.
Have Korean firms in SG employed these 67 fresh grads from Konyang University in South Korea ?
If so, then is this proof that FTs are giving preference to and hiring their own kind.
My own experience confirms the "FTs hiring FTs" phenomenon.
In my previous job, 3 out of 4 bosses are from Country X. Only 1 is Singaporean. During a round of hiring for 1 junior position, the bosses from Country X singled out CVs of potential hires from Country X, and repeatedly told the managers (Singaporeans) that they must 'seriously consider' these guys.
Or worse still, are public agencies hiring foreigner FRESH grads, passing over Singaporean fresh grads?
I know of at least one stat board that has done so in the recent years.
There is currently nothing to stop FT employers in SG hiring their own kind only. Ministry of Manpower and its Minister Gan Kim Yong have not done anything to prevent such abuses.

We, Singaporeans, need to take care of SINGAPOREANS FIRST.
It is neither selfish nor shameful for Singaporeans to think 'SINGAPORE FIRST'.
Singapore is so small with limited opportunities. Meanwhile, there are more and more foreigners here, taking up the juicy roles. To make things worse, non-SG nationalities/ethnicities are practising "Our Own Kind FIRST" at their formal (national) and informal (everyday decisions, e.g. hiring, social) levels.

Given this context, it is absurd for any Singaporean to reject the principle of SINGAPOREANS FIRST.
As a Singaporean, you will be utterly stupid to dismiss this issue.
As a Singaporean, it is indeed shameful and selfish if you do NOT think of SINGAPOREANS FIRST.

- Employment enclaves
- Yes, there are job enclaves
- Singaporeans shouldn't be disadvantaged
- 'Foreign' doesn't alway mean 'talent'
- Even this former FT is admitting that his husband's team of almost 30 people is made up of only 2 Singaporeans. Makes me wonder if this former FT and her husband have really pledged their loyalty to Singapore.
