I noticed that there have been an influx of food blogs. They are pure evil! Makes me feel so damn hungry! I would love to try the recipes out but I’m afraid that they’ll turn out bad. Any cupcake making workshops around?

Discrimination?

Not only is there racial discrimination in Singapore, there is age discrimination and discrimination. Most companies discriminate. They would look for the following:

1. Chinese
2. Single
3. Twenties - Thirties

Isn’t it true? I have a few friends who are of Malay and Indian race. They have trouble looking for jobs. These companies would tell them that they would require someone to speak Chinese and all. I don’t understand sometimes. If it was a telephone operator job, i’ll understand. If it is just for some admin or marketing job, i’m sure there are chinese workers in that company. Couldnt they translate instead? And wouldnt haveing a Malay or an Indian in the company benefit them? Afterall i believe they do not serve chinese customers only.

Single. They would rather hire singles than married or even worst parents. Why? Because they feel that Married people do not commit enough time to the company. In other words, they want someone to sell their soul to the company. Get married to the company instead. They’re afraid that the parents would require flexible working hours to send the children to school/holidays/band camps.

Old age. They would feel that the older generation would require retraining. They are slower at doing work, would require help with language and not as active as the younger ones.

Wonder why Singapore is having such a low birthrate? Blame it on the employers. We’re scared of settling down and having children because we fear being discriminated.

Shame on you!
