It definitely different than all the times before. That's for sure.
Smart locals understand that whilst expats are around our pay package stays international - despite the racial, jealous nonsense that sometimes seems to be the norm.
However, i see that management is panicking - quite obviously so. What scares me is that we are still making money, so the panic is political.
And in Singapore, when politics is involved - anything goes.
I think we are seeing the benevolence in the benevolent dictatorship becoming less benevolent. (sorry for the tongue twister)
Sigh.
