Right. We should manage the new immigrants and foreign workers to our advantage. Singaporean should not be 'layback' and keep quiet by learning to fight for the right if jobs are taken by foreign trash. The recent EntrePass ruling for expat companies is right step to protect local workers, but it is still up to the people to make sure this EntrePass is not broken by the Foreign Trash. Do report them to MOM if they break the rules.

It believe that it is not realistic to expect the foreigners who come here to work to contribute in any meaningful way to the overall growth of Singapore.
Most of the foreigners who come here are economic migrants. The just want to make enough money so that they can have a better live back home where they came from. They are very unlike our forefathers who came here with the intention of making Singapore their home.
The sad part is that citizens are made to feel second class compared to these economic migrants. Hopefully things will change or Singapore will lose its own talent who will seek greener pastures in the west.
