LKY lets cat out of the bag that it IS all just a CONversation

[Confuseous]

If one is to read the Sunday Times today, the same attitude is printed in black and white, the govt has decided which way to go and that’s it. ‘Get married, have babies’ screamed the headline. ‘If we go on like that, this place will fold up because there will be no original citizens left to form the majority….So the choice is simple. Either accept migrants at a rate which we can assimilate them, and make them conform to our values….said LKY. He ended his speech with the following questions. ‘Do we want to replace ourselves? Or do we want to shrink and get older, and be replaced by migrants and work permit holders?’


Can a national conversation lead to a change of this migrant policies or a conversation that leads to nowhere if the people did not want to go along with the migrant policies? Can a national conversation lead to the govt returning the people’s saving in the CPF, or the lowering the public housing prices, or the lowering of the cost of govt?

It's becomming obvious that the only way Spore can go forward is if they get rid of the old baggage i.e. the PAP.
The PAP has become a liability :o

Where else in the world do you find muti-million dollar civil servants The closest example is in the corrupt 3rd world nations where officials make their millions/billions from under the table.

So this is the best solution the government can come out with - replacing native Singaporeans with immigrants?
This explains the "wide" open door policy of the past decade. No one has the balls to admit it except the old man.

Actually no need him to clarify now. We all know whats up their sleeves. Smart one (not the 60% dafts) should have Plan B by now.

It's pointless to keep on exhorting Sinkaporeans to do this and to do that ad infinitum. The leaders should lead by example. Belt-tightening and producing more babies go hand in hand! The government should first trim it's own excess fat and get rid of deadwood jiakliaobees. Why so many ministries and such a bloated civil service for a little red dot measuring less than 700 sq miles? No money how to produce more babies? Ministers pay themselves obscenely huge and world-topping salaries and perks while the commoners struggle to balance their personal budgets on a miserly $2K to $3K salaries. Many are known to survive on even less. So lame to keep spewing motherhood statements and act like a cheerleader. More should be expected from such head-hunted talented ministers and top civil servants. Where's the sense of shame?

Some PAP MP claimed that Spore run like some kind of efficiently run corporation

In my opinion it's more like an inefficient MLM/ponzi scheme. Inefficient because many people want to get out because the cost is much higher than the benefits.
Now that they are running out of local victims they have to resort to making up numbers from the outside.

It won't work because foreigners have no incentive to support LKY unless they are paid $$$. With so many greedy PAP members out there I doubt there is enough $ to go around.

We'll get to work if this is the formula.

Show me the money, Get married, have babies...
