Well, it's not that Singaporeans doesn't want to work there as lower lvl worker...its juz that the pay is not attractive enuff...but good enuff to lure foreign workers...

 

Ask them if they wanna stay and retire and SIN with that type of pay or not.... all will run away fast fast..

Frankly there's nothing to be concerned about. The available jobs are mostly service jobs which don't pay that well anyway.

 

Further, it's not as if those 5,000 jobs are "reserved" or guarantted for Philipinos. It's just politics double talk that the President there try to show the people how much she has done for them. These 5,000 jobs are open to anyone who has the right match of abilities and expectations.
