In my opinion, foreign talents are more of a boon to Singapore in some areas while less of so in others.

Firstly, I feel that foreign talents are more of a bane than a boon to Singapore in the workforce. In the workforce, foreign talents deprive locals of their jobs as they are usually more capable and talented than the latter, and expect lower incomes than the locals as the cost of living at their homes are usually less and they would therefore expect and require less. These factors coupled with the fact that the society we live in today is extremely mercenary and competitive would mean that bosses would be more inclined to hire foreign talents than to hire locals. While some may say that one's success is measured by his capability and that Singapore has many capable, talented people too, we have to accept the fact that everything is based on money and with foreign talents available at a much lower cost, which boss would not want to hire foreigners instead of locals if given the option? Furthermore, with the limited amount of jobs available in Singapore and the influx of foreign talents, there is a very low chance of finding enough jobs for both foreigners and locals. As a result, social problems might arise in the long run from the unemployed locals.

Secondly, I feel that Foreign talents are more of a boon than of a bane in the education system. Here, the competition is not so intense and the consequences are not as severe as compared to the workforce. In fact, the presence of foreign talents would encourage locals to perform better in order to catch up with them. However, problems would still arise; due to their cultural and other differences, locals and foreigners might find it hard to socialize with each other and lead to isolation or maybe even bullying of foreigners or locals, whichever is the minority.

To conclude, I feel that foreign talents are more advantageous to Singapore in some areas than in others.
