[PurpleButcher]

I have resided in the top 5 of this list

 

[UKBengali]

With Saudi and UAE at the top means that Pakistan foreign policy has to be aligned with Gulf.
Same with BD and that is why both countries need to reduce their workers in this region.

 

[FuturePAF]

Pakistan

 

[Peaceful Civilian]

What? Turkey, china is not in the list.
We need to improve people to people contact with turkey & china also.

 

[Pakistansdefender]

We should work hard on the agreements with Japan and germany and send as many people as we can.

There are thousands and thousands here.

No Iron Brother in the list?

Yet our policy is slave to China.

Used to be mainly professionals till the end of the 90s. Then came the asylum seekers and the border hoppers. These days I believe the illegals/asylum seekers outnumber the professionals. It is a pity. The professional/educated Pakistanis could have been an asset for SA, much like the NHI in the UK. But the SA govts policies made legal immigration for professionals a nightmare. And on the other hand SA became the easiest country in the world for illegals to get into. The result is that now the cream of the crop is rare...and the garbage is common.

You hit the nail on the head. Come this side, to north west province, all the rifrafs are abound. We did get some professional doctors at the Bophelong and other hospitals but then 14 years ago; we just have been flooded by garbage. In Mafikeng, they have organised into gangs and even killed fellow citizens. THis is the level of rubbish we have.

*Pakistan*

On a serious note I can't help but to have a rant on my favourite gripe. Technically speaking many countries have Pakistani's but actual reality is they peddle themselves as Muslim. Pakistani as a identity group are almost non existent even when they form the overwhelming majority ethnic group. I travel a lot. Sheffield, Leeds, Luton, Birmingham, Bradford [known as Bradistan], Manchester. What strikes me when driving through these cities how little or no existent the Pakistani community is on 'radar scope'. They have zero visual presence and are camaflouged as 'Muslim, Asian, Desi, Indian'.

You drive through Pakistani ghettos in UK and all the shops, restaurents etc will be flogged as Asian, Indian, Muslim, Desi. A city with 100,000 British Pakistani's will have almost no banner of Pakistan on the high street. Yet 100 Poles, 20 Iraqis, 10 Kurds, one Turk will have bright neon lights blazing away "Polish, Iraqi, Turkish, Kurdish" when the latter don't even fcking have a country.

Anybody doubting me can use Street View on Google and see what I mean. The only time 'Pakistani' makes a apearance is on media when talking of grooming gangs, terrorists or honour killing ....

I had a burgher [was rubbish] here few days ago after royals made a visit there. But note 'Asian'. Lahore, mouthafucka quintessential Pakistani city but the restaurent is tagged as 'Asian'. A vaque geography that covers 50 countries from Korea, Japan to Turkey to Indonesia.

Obviously the owner of 'Asian kitchen' is Asian, of Asian extraction from a country called Asia, serving Asian cuisine. It would have killed the guy to call it 'British Pakistani' kitchen. Or maybe he does not know there is such a thing as 'Pakistan'.

Terrible. And the sad part is that these dirtbags are often times the most visible representation of Pakistan abroad. Imagine if SA's representation abroad was gangbangers from Gugulethu or Hillbrow. The average Pakistanis, especially the educated class, are some of the nicest people you can meet. Hospitable, kind, funny, intelligent etc. I was born in SA and spent most of my life there, and in my heart of hearts it is Home. But in my opinion the average Pakistani is a better person than the average South African. That is why it is heartbreaking to see these bastards ruining the name of Pakistan. It is high time both governments get together and sort this mess out. Both countries have so much to offer each other but first these illegals must go.

 

[925boy]

There are thousands and thousands here.

I saw them beating up Africans on the streets when they tried to loot and attack their stores months ago when xenophobic violence broke out.smh
There are also thousands of Pakistani expatriates in Nigeria. I became really good friends with a few of them.

Then it is a questio of how do Pakistani people prioritize and identify themseves when they have both identity? Are they feel proud to be Pakistani 1st or Muslim 1st?? If Muslims as priority then you will be amongst other Muslims too
