Lee Kuan Yew speaks about Singapore's changing demographics - Channel NewsAsia

SINGAPORE: Singapore former Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew said a country that does not grow its population risks dissolving "into nothingness".
Mr Lee was speaking at a wide-ranging dialogue session organised by Standard Chartered Bank on Wednesday evening.
Joining Mr Lee for the dialogue was former chairman of the US Federal Reserve and former chairman of US President Obama's Economic Recovery Advisory Board, Paul Volcker.
This was the first time Mr Lee was speaking about Singapore's changing demographics since the Population White Paper was endorsed in Parliament.
The paper, which projects 6.9 million people by 2030, charts the country's strategies in managing a shrinking and ageing population.
A question on Japan's ageing society during the dialogue triggered the discussion.
Mr Lee noted how Japan refused to take in migrants and that led to the situation it is facing today.
Mr Lee said: "So I see a nation reduced to half in 20 years, and if it still continues with the same policy, reduced to a further half, and eventually, it is all over!
"To have a nation, you must have people and you must have young people to be able to drive the economy and young people buy the products - all these gadgets and fine dining - and if you don't have that, and you refuse migrants as the Japanese do, you will just dissolve into nothingness! I think before that comes, they may change (their) policy."
A question on China's one-child policy was also raised during the dialogue.
Mr Lee said China is headed in the wrong direction with this policy as a shrinking and ageing population will mean assets, such as property prices, will go down.
"Property prices will go down, assets will go down. There is no younger generation to put the pressure up so I think it is heading towards the wrong direction," said Mr Lee.
He added Singapore is in a similar position with its low total fertility rate but the difference is that Singapore takes in migrants to make up for the numbers.
Mr Lee pointed out that authorities here maintain a "certain quality of control" and that is one reason why he feels other emerging ASEAN economies are unlikely to surpass Singapore anytime soon.
Mr Lee said: "They will make progress but if you look at the per capita they have got, the differences are so wide. We have the advantage of quality control of the people who come in so we have bright Indians, bright Chinese, bright Caucasians so the increase in population means an increase in talent."

Old Bastard talking cock.. What quality control crap he's blabbering about when the PAP gave out countless PRs to PRC massage workers, factory workers, Pinay shoe sellers?
Old Scum praising the Ah Nehs as bright.. The IT Ah Nehs will walk into their offices tomorrow with a fucking smirk on their faces..

And with both hands straighten forward and hopping every step to the ringing of an ice-ream bell.
We have all heard that he's had a stroke. All these staged appearances are I think designed to reassure the party faithful that he is still alive but we don't really know if he is healthy 
The fact that he is in Spore instead of flying around has me hopeful that change may be comming

I simply can't make up what the old bastard was talking about for he has become a speech-impaired person; such disorders usually develop quickly as a result of head injury or stroke.
TCH gave the exact same example back in December in a close gathering of singkies abroad and even before the white paper came out he already told the same group that the magic number is 6.9 million. No surprises that they all are singing from the same songsheet and its part of the repertoire.
Does it make any difference what he's talking about
We've all heard it all before ad infinitum. It's time for some fresh air.
singaporeans should be blessed with such a great leadership
singaporeans should be grateful with such a great governance
singaporeans should work harder to maintain this success story
build more hide, develop more spurs, produce more children
singaporeans should continue to work on the success of the legacy
majulah singapura!!!

He's a metaphor for the resilience and longevity of the MIW.

His fear that the deceit and lies he laid on us will be uncovered and revealed when he die.
That fear is making him try to live on as he knows when he die, his name will stink worse than a septic cesspit with 6000 dead rotting pigs
You see his photo.
How close he is to death.
Very soon, very very soon we all will celebrate and have parties and yum seng with friends and strangers

the whole country will mourn for seven days and seven nights
torrents of grief, anguish and tears will pour from singaporeans
That is an understatement. I think the MSM would carry reports of his lifelong "achievements" for at least half-a-year.
That would be a good time for me to take a long holiday out of this place.
