Why not let foreign talents defend S'pore too?

Fair enough if the engagement of foreign talent is in areas where no
Singaporeans have those expertise. But if a local talent whose experience
and knowledge matches that of a foreign talent, then I see no reason for
engaging a foreign talent apart from the question of emoluments which some
foreign talent may be so foolish enough to accept a more meagre sum than any
Singaporeans would.

But this is usually not the case. Foreign talents are paid far more than
most Singaporeans for similar work.
