In the present practice, the employers are exploiting the foreign workers and their pay is meagre. Once the locals take over the jobs, the salaries should be revised, hours of work should be eight hours per day and overtime should be paid accordingly. The employees should have the same number of holidays everywhere and TAP contributions are a must. Brunei is not obliged to create jobs for foreigners. We Bruneians need to make a living too.
Charity begins at home.
We can see that more and more local overseas graduates are joining in the work force. They should be given a chance to join in the local firms and work with the foreign professionals side by side. I READ with a giggle about the return of the BIG MAC in Brunei. My children sought for 2 or so years. No answer could ever be given.
