SINGAPORE: A man recently took to social media to express his curiosity regarding the notable presence of foreign workers in numerous restaurants across Singapore.
“Are they all PR? Or maybe married to a Singaporean somehow? Could it be that many who marry local? I’m also asking because I want to open a cafe and I cannot wrap my head around this 😅 also don’t have any close friends who work in fnb to ask invasive questions to.” One of them said, “Many F&B outlets have skeletal crew. This means they have many Singaporean citizens on their ‘payroll’ who don’t work at the company so that they can hire more foreigners.”
One Redditor said, “It’s more tedious to register as food manufacturing factory than a cafe or restaurant, but then you’ll get to employ way more foreigners.
