As a local Singaporean living in the heart of the city, I have noticed an increase in the number of girls I see working in pubs.
These girls are usually in their late teens or early twenties, and they are working as hostesses. This is a job that does not require any specific qualifications, and it pays well for a short period of time.
Fast Cash
While I’m glad to see my young female Singaporeans taking up jobs that provide an income, I’m also concerned about what these girls are getting themselves into. Working in bars and pubs can be dangerous and the girls could be exposed to a variety of risks. They could be the targets of sexual harassment or even worse, physical abuse. Furthermore, the long hours and late nights can take a toll on their mental and physical health.
Back in the day, there were only Viet, Thai and PRC and Malaysians. Locals were considered rare.
I’m also worried about the long-term implications of working in pubs. This type of job does not provide the girls with any skills or qualifications that will help them in the future. They are just earning quick cash, and this could lead to a cycle of dependence on this type of work.
It is also hard to overlook the fact that these girls are being exploited by the pub owners. They are being paid very little for the work they do, and they are not given any benefits or protection. The owners are taking advantage of their vulnerability and lack of experience, and this is a worrying trend.
I understand that for some of these girls, working in pubs is a way to make money quickly. But I believe that there are better ways for them to make money. I think that the government should provide more support to young Singaporeans, and create more opportunities for them to gain skills and qualifications that will help them in the long run.
I also think that the pub owners should be held accountable for their actions. They should be encouraged to hire young people who are qualified and trained to do the job, and they should be held responsible if their employees are exposed to any risks.
At the end of the day, I’m glad to see my young Singaporeans earning money, but I’m also concerned about their safety and long-term prospects. I hope that the government and pub owners will take action to protect these young people and provide them with the support they need.
