| For those who arent aware, Singapore has a tendency to call any foreigner an expat even tho they are not. So a guy from China who works in a family own company as a receptionist earning $1000 per month is an expat... a British man employed by HSBC as their managing director in Singapore, earning $30 000 a month is also an expat.... Basically if you came from a third world country and ain't invited to work in singapore by either the MNC/ govt agency (but rather applied on ur own basis to work in Singapore)... You are just another cheap labour for small family own companies... this is something many people arent aware...the name "expat" sounds good but it aint in actual fact |
