Foreigners provide best service

Letters

I WRITE to clarify that Labour and Employment Minister Kessy Sawang’s intention to replace 10,000 foreign workers with the local workers is offensive and portrays the act of rudeness towards the foreigners in our country.
Foreigners in the country give us the best employment service.
They are time conscious, quality oriented and they uphold visions relevant for the long run of organisations or the departments they serve.
The true stewardship in this country are the foreigners.
For instance, a foreign librarian in one of our university use to open the library perfectly at 7.30am and close it up 9.30pm sharp every officially days.
Time came that the foreigner went home offshore and the university replaced a local librarian and everything changed.
Opening time varies between 8am, 8.30am and 9am.
On the other hand, the new closing time turned to vary between 8.30pm to 9.30pm.
By this scenario, who practices good stewardship?
Is it the foreigner or the local librarian?
Additional concern is that the outsourcing of such idea will turn around to hinder our citizens from negotiating employment and business opportunities overseas.
To this point, let us stand firm on our theme of “Friends to all and enemies to none” and use our ministerial portfolio appropriately.
