But I’m very annoyed that Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean said according to a CNA report that“Singapore needs to remain open and to welcome diversity … Mr Teo said Singapore needs to pay extra attention to facilitating the new immigrants who are ready to sink roots here, so that they integrate into society more quickly … urged Singaporeans to do their part to make newcomers feel welcome, and to help them imbibe the values that have made Singapore strong as a society.”
Hey minister and governing PAP, it’s yr problem. Fix it. S’poreans did not ask the government to liberalise immigration. It was govmin policy to liberalise immigration so as to force feed GDP growth with cheap labour and to compensate for the refusal of S’poreans to breed like rabbits. GDP growth has been gd, but the benefits did not accrue to retirees like me (OK I exaggerate, I’ve benefited from increasing listco and reits payouts, and gd, low-cost service from FTs) or ordinary S’poreans who faced stagnant wages but escalating property costs, ever-increasing public transport fares on ever more crowded, and dangerous buses and trains).
