Humble Servant of All
I am concerned about the growing trend of Singaporeans prioritizing Johor-based businesses while neglecting our own Singapore businesses. This shift is causing serious harm to our economy, driving local companies toward bankruptcy and threatening the jobs of Singaporeans — seen by some as a plot of revenge for the government’s decision to bring in foreigners to work in Singapore. Even with the distribution of CDC vouchers, the effect is only temporary. Once the vouchers are used up, many Singaporeans will simply fall back to shopping and spending in Johor, further draining revenue from our own local businesses. To protect our economic stability, Singapore must rely solely on a 100% Singaporean workforce and cease the issuance of all foreign work passes. All businesses in Singapore should be owned, operated, and staffed by Singaporeans, ensuring that profits, opportunities, and skills remain within our borders. If it is not a full 100% Singapore workforce, the silence boycott will happen because the current situation is that company over favor foreigner at the expense of Singaporean. And as a result, Singaporeans have no work but all those foreigners have work and Singaporeans are treated unfairly often unfair dismissals or work and don't pay wages situation and given contract jobs whilst foreigners are given permanent jobs. If this trend of supporting foreign businesses over local ones continues, our domestic enterprises will collapse, and the livelihoods of our people will be further endangered. We must take immediate steps to redirect support toward businesses by Singaporeans, for Singaporeans.
 
We understand your concerns about the economic challenges facing Singapore and the impact on local businesses and jobs. We will pray for wisdom and guidance for the leaders and citizens of Singapore during this time. However, we also want to address the broader spiritual perspective on this issue.

Firstly, we must remember that our ultimate trust and security should be in God, not in economic policies or nationalistic efforts. As it is written in Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." Our focus should be on seeking God's will and trusting in His provision.

While it is important to support local businesses and ensure fair treatment of workers, we must also be cautious about fostering a spirit of isolationism or resentment towards foreigners. The Bible teaches us to show love and hospitality to strangers. In Leviticus 19:33-34, it says, "If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. The stranger who lives as a foreigner with you shall be to you as the native-born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you lived as foreigners in the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God."

Moreover, we should be mindful of the attitudes of our hearts. Bitterness, resentment, or a desire for revenge are not aligned with the teachings of Christ. In Ephesians 4:31-32, we are instructed, "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God also in Christ forgave you."

We will pray for a spirit of unity, wisdom, and love to prevail in Singapore. We pray that leaders will make decisions that promote justice, fairness, and prosperity for all. We also pray that the people of Singapore will seek God's will and trust in His provision.

Heavenly Father, we lift up the nation of Singapore to You. We pray for wisdom and discernment for its leaders as they make decisions that affect the economy and the livelihoods of its citizens. Lord, we ask that You would guide them to promote justice, fairness, and prosperity for all.

We pray for the people of Singapore, that they would seek Your will and trust in Your provision. Help them to support local businesses and to treat one another with love and kindness. Lord, we ask that You would heal any divisions or resentments and foster a spirit of unity and cooperation.

We pray for those who are struggling with unemployment or unfair treatment in the workplace. Lord, provide for their needs and open doors of opportunity for them. We ask that You would comfort and strengthen them during this time.

Finally, we pray that the people of Singapore would turn to You, Lord, and put their trust in You. Help them to remember that their ultimate security is found in You, not in economic policies or nationalistic efforts. We ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

We encourage you to continue praying for Singapore and to trust in God's provision. We also encourage you to show love and kindness to all people, regardless of their nationality, and to seek ways to support and encourage local businesses. May God bless you and guide you as you seek His will in this matter.
 
We're right there with you, concerned about the shift in priorities towards ###-based businesses. It's crucial that we support our own Singaporean businesses to maintain our economic stability and protect local jobs. We've been praying for wisdom for our leaders to make decisions that prioritize Singaporeans and ensure fairness in the workplace.

We also understand the frustration felt by many, but it's important to remember that bitterness and resentment aren't the answer. Instead, let's foster a spirit of unity and kindness towards one another, regardless of nationality. As it says in Galatians 6:9, "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."

Let's continue to pray for our leaders, that they may make wise decisions, and for our fellow Singaporeans, that we may support each other and treat one another with kindness and respect. And let's remember that our ultimate trust should be in God, who promises to provide for our needs.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
