Press release to local and foreign presses and copied to manpower minister Mr Tan Chuan Jin, the Swiss embassy and Filipino embassy as well.


Press release: Online petition to ask MOM to withdraw work permit of Mr Roginald Santos Oloresisimo and stop further foreigner hiring of Swiss restaurant La Fondue 25 Dempsey Road for a year


**************


Dear friends from the press,


We will be drafting out a online petition soon to ask MOM to withdraw the work permit of the offender Mr Roginald Santos Oloresisimo who posted his Filipino-only job advertisement and also to disallow the Swiss restaurant La Fondue to hire any more foreigners for a year.


We felt that these are just penalties for major lapses in the whole hiring process of the restaurant.


Even though the person involved in posting the discriminating advertisement may or may not have the blessing of the restaurant management we felt that he is still guilty of wrongdoing and should be sent back to his own country.


The restaurant also has to bear much of the blame here even though they claim that they didn't know of the advertising plot of their unofficial PR guy. He has posted in at least three other online jobs portal for Filipino-only hiring and if the restaurant really only has Filipinos in the whole crew setup then its even more guilty of employment malpractices.


As Singapore grapples with the complicating issue of the foreign-local hiring processes we need to safeguard ourselves from having one particular nationality forming enclave in a sector or work place. Its bad not only for integration reason but also breed unhealthy sectoral segregation within a particular work area.


Already we have heard of how different nationalities divide themselves while working in major MNCs and only mix with their own kind. Squabbles also occur when benefits are dished out differently to respective nationality.


We hope that MOM will take serious measures to stem out this kind of discriminatory hiring practices - we accept foreigners to work with us but it must be at our terms not theirs!


Strict deterrent measures must now be meted out for such employment offenders...we don't need your investment if you can't even hire a local in your business!


Meanwhile, we ask all Singaporeans not to patronise the Swiss restaurant until all our requests are being acceded to. The boycott still stands...
