Two years after the announcement of the population white paper in 2013, Singapore faces the consequences of this damaging policy viz-a-viz daily massive jam in our public transport system, jobless local professionals facing pressure at the job front and worse of all, some of our foreign guests hauling insults openly on social media platform stressing whatever tolerance we have for our visitors.
More seriously, we have also seen a few high-profiled murder cases involving foreigners during the past few years with the most recent one happening at Tampines whereby a PRC Chinese man butchered a PRC gal to death. Singaporeans have never feel so unsafe in their whole life till recently.
The 2-week grace period whereby companies have to register their job vacancies on the government job site proves also to be just a show as local PMETs struggle to find decent employment opportunities when some companies choose to hire foreigners over our local ones due to various reasons.
Many of our jobless professionals have to take up cab driving or venture abroad for employment opportunities even though they have first-world degrees from our local universities.
Local Singaporeans have also reported that since the massive immigration drive, they became the minority worker in their own country and often have to report to foreigner superiors who may exercise favourtism at the work place.
Even Prof Tommy Koh has said recently that the heavy influx of foreign workers has dampened wages and that the income gap has became alarmingly wider sidelining many Singaporeans in the process. One in three school-going children also don't have money to pay for lunch and 60% of our local undergraduates going to universities depend on bursaries handed out for poor families.

Conversely, our Prime Minister has advocated for a pro-immigration policy all along as he says before that Singaporeans will benefit from having more foreigners in our midst but we all can see clearly that the reverse has happened.
Moreover, the recent Filipino outburst on social media criticising Singaporeans breached whatever left-over tolerance we have for our overseas guests working here and we have all along being civic and nice accepting foreigners to work in our midst.
We want to remind all our foreigner workers to respect us as this is our country and no one can get away scott-free if they criticise us openly or our sovereignty blatantly.
This will be our fourth anti-immigration protest and will take place on the second anniversary of our first epic PWP February protest in 2013 whereby 5000 Singaporeans came out in a show of force to protect their own sovereignity.
Be there again Singaporeans as you still can have a say in our own country...before it is too late.
Vote wisely.
