My business is in the VC and technology sectors and one observation is that I see a large number of ang mohs, particularly Australians and New Zealanders taking the lion's share of regional sales positions in tech firms from start-ups to established listed entities.  

They are hired due to no other reason than one fugging Aussie recruiting another in their old boys' network and most of them have zero experience in selling and building businesses in Asia.

This has to stop in order to provide Singaporeans more job opportunities in the tech sector and I am working dilligently to ensure that is so for roles where I have a hand in influencing or providing a referral.

Any similar experiences from the Sgtalkers in their respective professions?

Yes, I have seen many Aussies working at big technology companies in sales as well. The problem is they speak English better than Sporeans and they have connections with other Angmohs. However I realised they have problem talking to non Angmoh customers…remember when one of a customer from South Asia was invited to attend a drinking session at a bar at Marina Bay, the Aussie Sales head only talked to his Angmoh clients and never came over talk to this MD of a big bank. Even in Spore Aussies practise racial bias old game.

Many years ago, A N Z bank in Spore sacked many experienced Sporeans and recruited fresh graduates from Australia to replace them causing anger.
