Foreign inflow pace 'to be adjusted': Chan Chun Sing

Acting Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports Chan Chun Sing said Saturday that the pace of the inflow of new immigrants has to be constantly adjusted.

Speaking at an open dialogue called Singaporeans In Conversation with 150 students from local and overseas institutions, he said such adjustments depend on how much the society can benefit from the economic potential of the newcomers without accentuating social tensions.

According to The Straits Times, Mr Chan said Singapore has to evolve according to feedback and that it is difficult to define a static point.

He said the Government needs to find a balancing point between how much Singapore can accept new immigrants and the economic dynamism and fresh perspectives they bring.

When asked how the average man in the street is faring with the influx of immigrants, Mr Chan said that those feeling the competition are lower-end PMETS (professionals, managers, executives and technicians) in sectors which face competition from China and India, such as accountancy and IT.

Mr Chan also said that immigration policies often entail a fine balancing act; a country can open its doors, grab talent and let them assimilate, or it can wait until its infrastructure is ready and then open the door. However, it could risk missing opportunities.

At the dialogue, Mr Chan also addressed issues such as the Singaporean identity.

He said it is the sense of allegience or affinity which takes time to develop that defines identity.

Is it ez to get his $$$multi-milllion pay cheque? The FAP Traitors are merely buying time for sufficient no. of New Shityzens to out-vote SGs in the next GE.

Foreign inflow pace 'to be adjusted': Chan Chun Sing
]adjustments depend on how much the society can benefit from the economic potential of the newcomers without accentuating social tensions.

Ya, everytime we heard them using the word "ECONOMIC" to justify a failed policy. Why is economic so important because it defines how much salary and bonus these ministers will get. With that in mind, all other Singaporeans low wages problems can be brushed aside until a suitable time to wayang again.

According to The Straits Times, Mr Chan said Singapore has to evolve according to feedback and that it is difficult to define a static point.

He is simply puttng it this way "I HAVE NO SOLUTION, THE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN CREATED BEFORE MY TIME."

He said the Government needs to find a balancing point between how much Singapore can accept new immigrants and the economic dynamism and fresh perspectives they bring.

Here you see, the word ECONOMIC is being used again.

Mr Chan said that those feeling the competition are lower-end PMETS (professionals, managers, executives and technicians) in sectors which face competition from China and India, such as accountancy and IT.

Who didn't know, but what was he going to do about it?

Mr Chan also said that immigration policies often entail a fine balancing act; a country can open its doors, grab talent and let them assimilate, or it can wait until its infrastructure is ready and then open the door. However, it could risk missing opportunities.

Like Alex Au often mentioned in his article, PAP often love to use "threat" to push a point, which is equivalent to using carrot to threaten for vote.

At the dialogue, Mr Chan also addressed issues such as the Singaporean identity.

When he failed answering all the above problems, this part on Singaporean identity can be skipped. Otherwise it look like a murderer suddently tried to be kind and concern after stabbing you in the chest.


NOW YOU KNOW WHY MANY SINGAPOREANS HATE TO HEAR PAP SPEAK and SHIT TIMES IS NOT WORTH A READ.

the funny thing is there is never a dialogue involve.
whenever a question is asked, it was throw back. its like talking to a mirror.
