In Singapore, this is how the employment market is like:
If you put an ad seeking for worker, any tourist is free to apply. We are one of the very very few countries in the world that allows any tourist to apply for jobs here. That is why all my contacts and friends who are in HR say that whenever they put up a job ad, foreigners will usually outnumber locals (PRs and Singaporeans).
Singaporeans need to know that for every job opening here, they are competing not only against fellow citizens, PRs, foreigner workers (S-pass or E-pass). They are also competing against any tourist who happens to be in Singapore and scouring the want ads.
We also issue work permits for PRCs to peddle sex here. So, it is not surprising for us to issue permits for South Asian men to sell tissue paper here. Forged credentials are also easy to obtain in South Asia, and it takes a long time before the relevant authorities can discover that they are fakes. Which by then, some of these South Asians would have already left.
I can understand issue work permits for PRCs to peddle sex here but a bit difficult to understand issue permits for South Asian men to sell tissue paper here. I mean you can buy tissue from supermarket but not sex. Sorry a bit crude here but you get what I mean.
I read from here (http://www.contactsingapore.sg/visas_and..._visitors/) that visitors on social pass are not allow to work here. So these men are selling tissue illegally if on social pass.
Are they being tricked into paying some crazy fee to come into SG with fake promises of having a job here and later got dump and left on their own? I am just raising some questions that came to mind.
