The IRs will not solve S'pore problems. It will not be a fix-all. It's TOO late.
Do you see Japan going into overdrive to open itself for new citizens?
In fact Japan faces a BIGGER low birth rate problem than Singapore.
Bringing in more citizens when already there is EMPLOYMENT PROBLEMS is a BETRAYAL not only to your own citizens but to the new citizens as well. Let's see how many head home or to greener pastures in the hard years ahead.
BTW, can someone highlight to me these NEW citizens I/C numbers begin with what? This so i don't accidently employ one.
So obviously, bringing in new citizens is just not to solve low rate problems. There are other reasons behind the move.
The EASIEST way to solve Singapore's low birth rate is to bring down the costs of living...which they are unwilling to do.:oIo:
Sometime in the no too distant future, a NEW history book on Singapore would have to be written. "Heroes of today" WILL be "Villains of Tomorrow".
