HDB to slow supply of flats from next year

[Bibi]

Well we have to appreciate them as well. They are willing to take some of the lower paying jobs in our manufacturing industry

They are willing to take lower pay because it is considered high back in their home town. Manufacturing Singaporean workers will say they suppressed the salary. Manufacturing Singapore boss will say they help keep business cost down.

So whether they are appreciated depends on which side of equation you are in.

So, it is better to give them a higher pay or rather send them back to malaysia so that our fellow singaporeans can get unsuppressed salary?

Whether it is better or not depends on which side of eqn u r in as mention previously. Middle income will prefer low wage foreigners stay. Low income will prefer them to go away. Likewise middle income might not prefer foreign professionals to stay as they do suppress middle income job salary while lower income dont care about foreign professionals. It is not sending all of them away, but i believe u do agree having too many of them do indeed suppress salary.
