The Anton Casey controversy came as S'pore is facing growing tension over its future. S'pore has 1 of the biggest wealth gaps in the developed world with foreigners making up more than 40% of our population; up from around 25% in 2000. As SG has become overcrowded - pushing up property and car prices and increasing waiting time for public transport - the govt is facing growing opposition to its liberal immigration policies and pro-foreigner policies where 9 out of every 10 newly created jobs are going to non-S'poreans.
