The benefits of economic growth may include increased employment opportunities, higher wages and improvements in the standard of living. However, in S'pore's case, all of the aforementioned benefits are going to foreigners and new citizens - not true blue S'poreans.

You guys better wake up your idea and get the fuck out while you can. 10million population was always on their agenda and plan. You think LHL cry cry only will reverse their plan? You think get WP into GRC for one term is going scare the PAP? You guys screwed the WP, good luck and see who else is going to come and fight for the average people now.

It's not rocket science, just take the number of population in 1991 (the day LHL took office) and count forward how many Singaporeans are left every year after that. Declining birth rate, aging population dying and yet Singaporeans and PR miraculously grew to $6m.

Cannot say like that 1mil 1rm flat coming soon...heng ong huat to All Bros

Lawrence wong did said - the benefit it has is not for everyone.
At the same time he said noone will be left behind.
So in other words he is directly saying, pap get the benefit first, then will give a little bit like what is happening now to everyone. $200 and some utility rebates lol

China has asked its financial institutions to beef up monitoring of the nation’s wealth management products, people familiar with the matter said, after investors pulled some $149 billion to chase a rally in stocks.
Regulators recently ordered lenders, fund houses and fund distributors to monitor changes in the scale of WMPs on a daily basis, according to the people, asking not to be identified discussing a private matter.

S’pore must manage new arrivals with utmost caution, but also stand firm against nativism: SM Lee​

SINGAPORE - Singapore relies heavily on immigrants and foreign workers – who raise political sensitivities in many societies – to top up its population base and talent pool, said Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong.

The inflow and integration of new arrivals must therefore be managed with the “utmost sensitivity and caution, to ensure the flows are balanced and sustainable”, noted SM Lee.

“But we must also stand firmly against nativism and xenophobia, and welcome the new arrivals to become part of our extended family,” he said in a speech at a dinner hosted by the Singapore Indian Development Association (Sinda) and 14 other Indian community organisations on Jan 11.


SM Lee said Singaporeans should help these new arrivals adapt progressively to the way things are done here, and to the country’s social norms and ethos. It is an ongoing process that takes time, but gradually they will integrate into the local community, he added.

“This is how earlier generations became Indian Singaporeans, and it will happen with this generation, and with new arrivals from other groups and places too,” he said.

This is how the Singaporean identity can be sustained and enriched, and the way to build a cohesive and inclusive society that is “connected to the world, strengthened and not divided by our diversity”, he said.

SM Lee was addressing around 2,000 guests, including Cabinet ministers, MPs, Indian leaders and volunteers who attended the appreciation dinner at Marina Bay Sands’ Sands Grand Ballroom.

A tribute video was screened, and organisers gifted him intricately designed elephant sculptures as a token of appreciation for his support for the Indian community during his tenure as Prime Minister from 2004 to 2024.

SM Lee said the Indian community has progressed with the nation, and made considerable contributions in many fields.

While the community may be small, it has played a full role in Singaporean society and worked with other communities to contribute in many ways, he added.

This shows the success of Singapore’s multiracial model, which has created full and equal opportunities, a harmonious society and better lives for all, including the minority communities, SM Lee said.

He acknowledged the migrants from many parts of the Indian subcontinent – including Tamils, Malayalees, Telugus, Sindhis, Punjabis, Bengalis and Sinhalese – who came to modern Singapore in its earliest days in search of a better future, and who formed part of the Singapore story.

“These different groups sank roots here, formed bonds with one another, and out of this kaleidoscope of backgrounds, there gradually emerged a distinctive and proud Singaporean Indian community,” he said.

SM Lee said the Singaporean Indian community is flourishing, benefiting from the efforts of self-help community organisations, such as Sinda, and the People’s Association’s Indian Activity Executive Committees Council, or Narpani Pearavai.

Cheques of $150,000 each were presented to the Singapore Indian Education Trust and Sinda during the dinner.

The community organisations can do good work because of the strong support of many selfless volunteers, he said, noting that their ranks include those who have moved to Singapore only recently.

Some have become permanent residents or citizens, while others are here temporarily, for school, family or work.

Regardless, they should be applauded for willingly stepping up to volunteer, said SM Lee, noting that this new crop comes from a wider range of backgrounds and places than earlier generations of Indian immigrants.

They add vibrancy and dynamism to Singapore’s Indian culture, and thus are contributing to the community and the country, he added.

The strength of the Indian community here has enabled it to reach out confidently to the rest of the world, SM Lee said, noting that Singapore has developed a healthy and extensive relationship with India and other countries in the subcontinent.

The Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (Ceca) with India has helped to foster extensive trade, investment, and travel links between the countries, he said.

“Many Indian companies have set up in Singapore to serve the region, while many local Indian businesses have successfully forayed into the Indian market,” he added.

“India is growing, and on the move,” said SM Lee, with Singapore seeing many opportunities to expand cooperation on several fronts such as bilateral trade, skills training and fintech, alongside exploring fields like healthcare, as well as digital and green economies.

“Singapore has a good brand name in India, and we have enjoyed very good ties with successive Indian governments,” he said, urging the Indian business community to make the most of these advantages.

Say no to a 10 million population in S'pore!
Say no to CECA!
We lost our chance to say no at the last GE because of the 65%.

Come one, come all, the more, the merrier!

Greater demand will naturally drive greater supply.
