I was just thinking, on the other hand, nganong gusto man jud ta or ipugos man jud nato maging resident sa usa ka nasud nga dili ta welcome?

Yup, mao jud ni akong Gihuna huna sad. Mao sad diri sa Singapore, daghan Pinoy ganahan mag Permanent residence or mag Citizen nya halos tanan Local dili ganahan ug Foriegners ma convert pagka local kay mangilog daw sa ilang trabaho. Ug sa ako sad, nganu gud tawn ako i abandon ako pagka Filipino nya magpa convert ko sa Nasud nga ang mga tawo wa ganahi nko.

Update.

HK gov't to appeal ruling on maids

Despite the court ruling that foreign domestic helpers may apply for residency rights, the government said it would not process nor approve their applications for right of abode.

Secretary for Security Ambrose Lee said the Hong Kong government will seek a reversal of the ruling that the Immigration Ordinance’s provision excluding foreign maids from the category of ordinary residents is “inconsistent” with the Basic Law, the city’s mini constitution.

“The Court of First Instance ruling involves a law point of great constitutional and public importance, and the government has decided to appeal expeditiously and seek to reverse the court’s ruling,” Lee said.

He added that the Immigration Department will withhold the processing and approval of applications for verification of eligibility for a permanent identity card submitted by foreign domestic helpers until final ruling on the constitutionality of the relevant provision of the Immigration Ordinance.

The government’s application for a temporary suspension of the ruling will be heard on Oct. 26.

“Meanwhile, the government will not process or approve the right of abode applications lodged by foreign domestic helpers,” Lee said.

The security chief, however, said the government is unlikely to change its existing policies for the entry and employment of foreign maids.

In case foreign domestic helpers win their legal battle up to the Court of Appeal and the Court of Final Appeal, workers’ groups feared that the government would give them three two-year employment contracts to limit their stay to only six years.
