I cannot believe the lack of talent in the PAP if the PM says that raising or maintaining population levels is a "global phenomenon" for which no one really knows the reason why, nor does anyone have a solution. I believe that PM Wong is the only person in SG who does not know the reason! The reasons for not having children here are plenty: extremely high cost of living, lack of job security, poor work-life balance, stagnant wages, overpriced and small homes, inability to afford a car etc.

No more than 6.7 million please.

Beware of terms such as ‘just’.

Lol they usually are indicative of being dismissive.

It's all just talking cock from the PAP regime. Look at all the upcoming new MRT lines being constructed. You think they will get their ROI from the infrastructure without more customers (population) using them?

And watch what happens when the container ports fuck off from Pasir Panjang and Keppel to Tuas. And the 'Greater Southern Waterfront' gets redeveloped.

PAP never lie and PM is right. Population is far from 6.9 million. It is actually closer to 10 million. MAJULAH.

The PAP regime has mastered the diabolical art of telling you half-truths, very convincing but never the full picture.

'Stability'? Definitely. But they don't tell you exactly what kind of stability they're really after.

The "stability" is for the Ministers who pay themselves an annual salary that is enough to feed a typical S'pore family for a lifetime. There is also no competition from foreign talents for their iron rice bowl jobs. With more than 1 GCB to their name, these Ministers are set up for life, which includes a pension.
