MINISTER Mentor Lee Kuan Yew has weighed in on the continuing need to bring in foreign workers and talent from abroad so that Singapore could take on the world-wide competition for growth and progress.
Addressing Singaporeans' concerns over the influx of foreigners who they fear are threatening their jobs, MM Lee said at a Tanjong Pagar GRC family day on Saturday evening that Singapore needs 900,000 foreign workers on two-year work permits.
'They do the construction and other heavy work, jobs Singaporeans are not willing to do,' he said.
He noted that while these foreigner workers are on two-year work permits , which can be extended several times, they will not stay here permanently.
On drawing talent from abroad, he cited how this has helped the United States to do better than Europe and Britain because it is an 'embracive society, welcoming newcomers'.
'This is one reason for the success of Silicon Valley where new ideas sprout up, are tested and implemented,' MM Lee told the gathering of residents from Tanjong Pagar, where he has been the MP since 1955 when he first won the seat.
For the coming polls, the Tanjong Pagar GRC team is expected to comprise Mr Lee, Ms Indranee Rajah, Mr Baey Yam Keng, Dr Lily Neo, and new candidate Major-General (NS) Chan Chun Sing.
MM Lee, 87, also told the constituents how he stays fit. 'I exercise every day, walking, cycling and swimming. If you do likewise, you will also keep trim and fit like me,' he said.
Read the full report in this week's edition of The Sunday Times.

Make sure you account for their local population

For HK, its closeness to Mainland China for easy access to top Chinese brains.

OK lor, since want to follow US, then we should also embrace having a strong alternative political party. When its convenient, compare with US. When its inconvenient, say we are small boat cannot rock unlike the US which is a big boat.

Aiyah, the old man does not know anything wan lah, only pretend. He can only at best be governor of province but more likely a city mayor in China as said. He admits Singapore is not a country so what is this rubbish about following and preaching gospel of US practice? Totally no logical consistency. You say Singapore not a country and you are not the PM and even if you are, you are adopting country practices to a place you do not call a country. What logic, cheah.

On drawing talent from abroad, he cited how this has helped the United States to do better than Europe and Britain because it is an 'embracive society, welcoming newcomers'.​
He's doing what he has always done - tell a half-truth and carry on as if it were fact. These are the facts:

  1. The US does NOT welcome every Tom, Dick and Harry that pops up on its doorstep (and certainly not PRC hookers)
  2. Just try and get yourself a Green Card if you don't believe it
  3. They only want the best and not those who will strip away basic jobs from citizens
  4. That is why it has spent billions building an electronic razor-wire fence along its Mexican border to keep OUT unwelcome migrants.
  5. That is why there are teams of Immigration and Nationalisation Service agents raiding companies every day to round up illegals and deport them.
  6. If the US govt ever went mad and tried to import foreign workers to the tune of 20% of its population (we need 900,000 according to Lee) there would be armed rebellion in the streets.
Farking Lee is bullshitting again to his own media and there is no one there willing to question his 'facts'.
We must teach the old bastard the real facts come the GE.

___________Congenital liar LCB is telling lies again. He is trying to hookwink the electorates that............. it is work-permit that is given to construction and other heavy manual works.[/SIZE]
___________We know, the real issue is at PMET jobs given indiscriminately to Foreign-Trash, and PR given like tissue paper.[/SIZE]
___________We know, the real issue is the scholarship and university places given to UNDERSERVING Foreigners.[/SIZE]
___________[/SIZE]
___________Dear brothers and sisters, let's not be hookwinked by this congenital liar. Vote wisely.[/SIZE]

Oh ya, bring all the smelly ah neh and ah lian Ah Tiong can compete with the world of real talent? What the warp is LKY talking about? If S passes and EP are talent, and TPL is talent, it spells doom for Singapore let alone competition.

What is Old Man smoking again: 'They do the construction and other heavy work, jobs Singaporeans are not willing to do,' he said.

I think most Singaporeans don't mind having foreign workers doing construction work and heavy work. It's the PMET, white-collared jobs that most Singaporeans are complaining about and competing directly with these foreign white-collared workers!

That's the problem with bad lawers, he will twist and turn so fast, normal folks are no match to the barrage of half truth.
But being a traitor in WW2 and able to convience the Japs to hire him, I'm sure he got this inborn gift to bull shit his way through.
