These companies would rather pay higher salary to foreign workers than to hire local(older) at a lower pay.

True indeed that even locals care less about SMEs because their pay is low, benefits are poor and the bosses are often horrid.
It seems that this Govt is inclined towards large Foreign MNCs and Banks to favour FTs where these are the jobs our children prefers. Obviously, their policies is not tackling the Root of the Problem.
