how true it is isn't it ? ....
but I guess the ironic thing is that they are quite willing to hire ang mohs on expat terms with papers from sungei road universities, quite willing to hire banglas and ah tiongs on peanuts (the small ones, not Durai's) with papers also from sungei road universities, but they are unwilling to hire Singaporeans with papers from universities they doesn't recognize on first sight ....
I can imagine how shallow our interviewers are.
