Yes, we can afford not to have a CIF, why, it is the responsibility of the new immigrants to make an effort to integrate into our society since they decide to join us and become a Singaporean or PR.

Unless it is the PAP govt that asks them to come here, then it is a different story. So, why are they here? If they come here on their own free will, then they should make the effort to integrate and not the other way round – that we have to make an effort to integrate them.

We do not need their culture but they need to know ours because this is our country, our culture, our tradition, etc. We do not need their culture here, we have already have enough mix of our own different cultures.

So, you see Mr Seah, we do not need the CIF. It is a waste of taxpayer monies putting into wrong use and when we ask for more to help the old and needy, we were asked whether we want our meals in hawker centres, food courts or restaurants. Why do you need to put in money to integrate them when they have their meals in food courts and restaurants?

The wrong doing of a few will be paid by most. Wake up before it is too late!

God bless Singapore.

The Community Integration Fund (CIF) has spent a total of $5.1 million out of $10 million on about 220 projects, to help in the integration of immigrants and foreigners with Singaporeans since 2009. Another $3.1 million has also been allotted to help new immigrants and foreigners fit in.

=> To the benefit of FAP-linked contractors? While SG elderly are forced to pick rubbish for a living?

So far, the results have been uncertain.

Experts said that it was difficult to assess if those projects funded by CIF have improved relations between the two groups.

Dr Selina Lim, a senior lecturer at the Teaching and Learning Centre of UniSIM, said, “A high participation rate or enthusiasm for a community cause may not necessarily translate to greater integration between the newcomers and locals.”

Still, she described the projects as a “good first step” towards fostering a better understanding between the two groups.

Dr Leong Chan Hoong, a research fellow at the Institute of Policy Studies, echoed, “Ultimately, it’s the quality – not the quantity – of interaction during as well as after the CIF project that would be a better measure of the level of success.”

MP for Marine Parade GRC, Mr Seah Kian Peng who is also the chairman of the Government Parliamentary Committee for Community Development, Youth and Sports, said the CIF was necessary to support integration efforts.

He said, “The right question we should ask ourselves is, can we afford not to have a CIF?”

=> More appropriate question: 60.1%, song bo?

“While we may not know the full impact of its benefits and effectiveness, I have no doubt that it is necessary and is an investment towards upkeeping our social harmony and building a more inclusive society.”

What Mr Seah said is akin to Feng Shui – one may not know the full impact of its benefits and effectiveness but it can give people peace of mind by going through it.

The CIF was launched in Sep 2009 by the then Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports Vivian Balakrishnan. It is administered by the National Integration Council (NIC).

Its objective is to promote the social interaction of native Singaporeans and new immigrants in order to “promote better understanding and cohesion”. $10 million over three years was set aside for the CIF to fund projects that help new immigrants and foreigners integrate with Singaporeans.

Relevant projects may receive up to 80% co-funding. The majority of these are organised by community groups, grassroots organizations, associations, clans and non-profit organisations.

Meanwhile, the National Integration Council said that there are plans to extend the CIF as “integration requires sustained effort over a long period of time”.

You got to love them. The hate level and confrontation they are inciting Singaporeans is amazing.
