Right... thank you all for your replies!! Parents are in Singapore and got 90 days as expected. No idea why is everyone so suspicious with my question.... My dad simply asked me "if we want to stay more than 90 days can we?" I didn't have an answer for him so i thought i asked here. I guess it woul...

And promote. If anyone here on this thread does not think that every nationality does not favor their own, then you are kidding yourself. There are always exceptions, but I see this all of the time and have even been victim to it myself (amongst foreign hiring managers). It makes no difference loca...

What national identity is that? Can you explain to me what national identity a Singaporean has - except being born in Singapore? What makes a Singaporean unique? I am just curious as I can't see the identity here. What I see is the opposite - a lack of identity. You don't have your own language, Si...

Demand lower wages than Singaporeans coz they do not have to pay the expenses associated with living in ...

Service staff I can understand. But when it comes to junior executives and PMETs, is there a need for them to be here to compete with the locals? Majority of the time, they are hired not based on merit but on cost considerations.. And what did your MP say when you raised and protested this point wi...

Yeap, Hear about the discrimination by Philippine HR hiring managers in Singapore and how they favour their own nationalities. Hear about how they demand lower wages because they don't intend to set root in Singapore Hear about them communicating in Tagalog in the workplace while everybody else is d...
