Foreign workers are the building blocks of most of the housing and buildings in Singapore. They receive not-so-high salary - which is one reason why our cost for housing is lower than what it could be.

With good housing, good working opportunities for some of these foreigners and smooth road surfaces, it continues to attract people to migrate to Singapore. With more foreigners working here it also boost the economy with an efficient workforce to deliver results.

ME : As foreigners support in economic robust in skill and labour required industry, EFMA: The importance of EFMA is in supporting migrant workers in Singapore. The act regulates and protects the well-being of foreign manpower and sets the responsibilities of employers and intermediaries., the locals too should be progressive and stay relevant to the KBE in seeking PMETs related skills, intergration

The construction workers are taken for granted. Most people in Singapore do not appreciate their efforts in helping Singapore develop into the city we are now.

Also, now more of the public is asking for more welfare to be given to the foreign workers in Singapore. Like higher minimum wage. Better transport safety, instead of squeezing behind the lorry. Better accommodation, instead of poor living conditions in dormitories.

Personal connection in this case would be that I am appreciative for them and their work ; im sure all of us are, as we have very high confidence in the structural integrity of infrastructures here. Then again, other than merely saying that we are appreciative, we haven't been that good of a host country to them. This is being highlighted in Covid-19 pandemic where their residential hostel is showed to the public - in obviously very bad conditions. This led to a public outcry for better treatment for such workers.

# data[].attributes.body
Without the help of foreign workers, I wouldn't be able to adore the view of Singapore's skyscrapers and also enjoy the amenities that they have built for us. Therefore, they should be credited for the work that they have done and also treated as one of us.

# data[].attributes.body
Majority of our construction work is done by foreign workers. I am wondering if Singapore can dispense with foreign workers? If we have to do so, what alternatives do we have?

The success of the development of the city is depending on the availability of FWs. The continuous influx of FWs who decided to come here to help build the city has implied that they are fine with the benefits that were given to them, and this outweighs what they will get if they stay put in their their native country to work.

I am uncertain if I can survive working in the construction industry. Even if the government makes it lucrative for locals, I will remain uncertain. Will you be keen to work in the construction industry and do your part for nation-building (pun intended).

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes i would reflect that i am more fortunate than foreign workers who are working in harsh weather conditions. Yet i am impressed by their knowledge in laying cables, construction, their commitment and sacrifice in working in an foreign country to feed their family back home and grateful for their contributions in building our nation.

hardworking on its own will not be able to achieve huge recognition but with proper planning, capital and business foundation, you can make something great happen..

There is dependency on foreign workers to do construction work. It is not just in Singapore. Countries like Korea also depend on foreign workers to build their country's infrastructure. A country should not depend too much on foreign workforce. Like what we seen during the COVID pandemic circuit breaker. Many Malaysians and foreign workers returned to their countries, leaving so many jobs in essential services vacant in Singapore, with no singaporeans willing to fill them as they are considered "low paying, difficult" jobs.

# data[].attributes.body
Some "stereotypes" which us Singaporeans called them "migrant workers" are actually part of our society. Which some of us Singaporeans find it hard to accept that we actually need/dependent on these Foreign Workers to do the jobs that most Singaporeans are unwilling to do.

with the huge numbers of foreign workers, what can we do to minimise culture conflict, ensure law and order?

We rely on this workers to create our buildings, malls, houses etc.. we need to appreciate them and mutual respect should be given to all these foreign workers.

# data[].attributes.body
Most of us wouldn't and feel uncomfortable working in the construction industry as we will be exposed to sunlight, long hours and etc. Therefore, there is a massive reliance on foreign workers to take up such jobs. Hence, there will be an influx of foreign talents that will spark social issues.

# data[].attributes.body
NOt all will choose to leave their homeland and loved ones to work overseas. If everyone has a choice, he will prefer to contribute to the building of his nation. Hence, i reckoned that singapore has developed and refined the necessary governance to attract these FWs, and more importantly to convince their native country to allow them to work here.

There might be issues if countries sanctions each other. For the workers: where are the workers going to do if they are forced to go back home. For companies: how to fill up the gaps and lack of knowledge & skillset to be more self sustain and less dependant.

The foreign workers might be seen as the foundation factors in the architecture of Singapore. The picture here also signifies the unity between Singaporean and the foreign workers as they work together to develop a better Singapore.

Constant engagement and good bilateral relationship is crucial to ensure that the continuous influx of FWs. Having said so, we should never be at the mercy of these countries if the relationship turns sour. We should also secure other alternatives, i.e. FWs from other countries etc.
