very dirty.They may be forced to do so but they do not have any other choice.
Country of theirs may not have jobs that will give them sufficent amount of money to support their family.

There are very few Singaporeans who are trained in certain fields of work, such as engineering and design in the construction industry. They are not interested in such work even when they are offered a higher pay than foreigners. Singaporeans find this work too tough and tedious.

Though the government is trying to get married women and the elderly to re-join the workforce, these groups of Singaporeans may not want to take up jobs in construction industry or jobs that involve shift work. So the government has no choice but to let in foreign workers.

A shortage of highly-skilled local talent is the main reason companies in Singapore often cite as a reason to hire foreign talent to supplement their local workforce. Also, certain job profiles, such as construction work and domestic help are not preferred by locals, leaving no option other than hiring foreign workers.

There are important jobs that Singapore needs. Most of these jobs are low-paying and require hard work. What happens if nobody does these jobs and try to work higher paying jobs?  This is the reason why  we need foreigners to help us.

Singapore needs these foreigners as there are many jobs that Singaporeans do not want to take up because the jobs need a lot of hard work but have only very little pay. Some examples of these jobs are construction workers, cleaners and domestic helpers. Without these foreigners, there will not be buildings, transportation on buses and no one to clean your house.

Foreigners come to Singapore to work maybe because there are no available jobs in their country and they need money for daily usage.

As I've shared in class about my own father's experience at work: Hard labour work such as repairing of huge vehicles. They are required to work under the hot sun for hours daily and carry heavy items. They also tend to suffer from injuries at work such as cuts and burns while welding. The pay is also not as attractive as a desk job.

My father has difficulty finding Singaporeans who would want to take up such a job, or even stay long in the job. Most of his previous workers came from Thailand, China or Malaysia.

In fact, my father used to be a Malaysian who came to Singapore to work and converted to Singaporean citizenship.
