as we all have already read, the big news today is NOT about price of crude oil, or is it about ERP or high cost of living.....

its about foreign talent...especially those very low paying foreign talent who will soon to be housed in a very up market district... not everyone is happy because they say these low paying people will caused crime to escalate.... women and children in the area are in danger.... more importantly, the value of their property will go downhill once these foreign talent moves in. they are made out to be the 'very bad people'

i don't know, maybe the rich dudes there thikns that only rich people can stay in that area..... poor people are suppose to stay ..i don't know where..... maybe under the expressway, in the forest or something..... anywhere BUT near them.....

there are people who supported them telling everyone who listens that they are also fellow humans.... they are here to make a living....feed their family back home.... then there are also some black sheeps within this group of unskilled foreign talents. everyone have their reasons..there is really no right and wrong.

for those who say its not right.... i think maybe they should also put a thought to those highly paid foreign talents we call expatriate.... because they too bring in the high crime rate..... is a danger to women and children too.... why is it that no one is saying anything about that??

is it because they are 'high class' people? they don't rob, get drunk and rape women and children??? i am not too sure about that......

they make prices of houses, flats and rental to rocket sky high.... they make housing unaffordable and beyond the reach to many..... yet no one make a issue out of it. they take our jobs away..... jobs that we all can well managed....we pay them sky high salary and benefits.... make us look stupid and dumb... and then we tell them they are doing a f**cking good job! just like in the old days...white man rules..... colonial rule i think, that is what it is called then...... and no one complain.....

so when these poor foreign talent live near them, they are immediately up in arms.... have we become a very snobbish country? have we began to see ourselves as superior beings than others? have we become a nations who draw a line between rich and poor, master and slaves? have we become elitist?

i am really sitting on the fence....if you drive on saturday along little india.... you will curse and swear..... its a 4 lane road, yet on saturday...it becomes only 2 lane and there will always be a jam..for cars and for humans!!! these foreign talents thinks that they own the roads on saturday.... so the take the extreme right and left lane of the 4 lane road..... and they will cross the road recklessly.....and then you will think.... what are these people doing in MY country????

maybe we should moderate the amount of foreign talents.... both the skilled and unskilled..... it could be an ovekilled situation now, jsut too many for comfort.... whatever it is we MUST remember we are a small country..... much like 10 people staying in a 3 room flat...small and crowded..... everyone gets agitated and angry over little things.

i don't know what to make out of these.... its just......

another useless thought
