Tan Chuan-Jin said breakdown by nationality is not publicly available.

Why not?

 

[kohpc]

Do the numbers include the chickens in Geylang and elsewhere?

Tan Chuan-Jin said breakdown by nationality is not publicly available.

Why not?

All nationalities are pooled together, just like the monies managed by GIC.

Maybe the breakdown by nationality is available but it would be quite uncomfortable to reveal it to the public.

They should reveal the figures for PRs also....
Or just reveal how many foreigners there are staying in Sg now.

Why not?

...because it would embarrass the paps and upset the leaders of certain countries.

...if only 20% of those foreigners would leave and let the unemployed sinkies take over. Don't say sinkies do not want their jobs. It is because sinkies do not have the chance to get the same jobs held by the foreigners.

Foreigners are known to hang on to staying in sinkieland even when jobless and refusing to leave until kicked out. They know paps love foreigners and won’t kick them out even though when they have committed crimes.

So the number of foreigners hanging on in sinkieland is higher than figure given by paps.

 

[bigboss]

The question now is how many foreigners with criminal records in their countries are roaming free in sinkieland out of those 1.7 million revealed by paps?

Were they screened before and after their arrival in sinkieland? Sekali some of them are criminals dumped by their Govts to get rid of them in the homeland.

 

[khunking]

Four sectors seem like PMET domain.

this number is Derisory.
moreover, it would take many many years to calculate.....Lets move on.

If add the foreign students.....pdmm and those extended families here.....and those on seek job visas etc etc

I think many many more foreigners are staying here

Another 1.2 million foreigners are dependents! Foreigners make up 45 percent of our population! Add in the naturalized citizens, we have a split of 50:50. I don't consider naturalized citizens as sinkees. Unlike other countries where it take years to qualify for citizenship, the PAP gives it out freely as toilet paper. AStar scholarships holders don't even have to become PR before getting citizenships!

Why not?

It is privately available but not for public knowledge. It is ludicrous to claim that sinkapore doesn't keep info on nationality of foreigners who work in sinkapore.
