Are foreigners kept there against their will?
I bet they're happy to live there, despite the housing costs.
Why is this exploitation? The country is offering a lot of positive things to foreigners. I'd love to have a Singaporean passport and be able to live there if I could afford.
May want to keep your comment deletion considerations to yourself.
- fn-mote 4y agoThe situation in Singapore is different. The foreigners are not high-income people who chose to live there. Only about 28% are skilled labor. The foreigners _may_ be happy to live there but I wouldn't make that assumption without checking. Just because it's better than their alternative doesn't mean it's good, or even acceptable.

Most of the foreign workforce [...is employed...] in construction and the service industry, or as domestic help. -- https://www.statista.com/statistics/698035/singapore-number-of-immigrants/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/698035/singapore-number-...
