PAP's FT Strawman Argument

[scroobal]

Singapore from its very birth in 1819 has always been cosmopolitan. From the very start Bugis sailors made their way here to trade with the British, the Dutch, the Arabs and even the Chinese from the mainland ports. Mixing of races and culture has been in Singapore's DNA from the very start. Every single Singaporean would be born into a world of colourful hew of faces. We know that Indian labour built our streets and our impressive looking government buildings until the start of the 2nd world war. The Istana stands testament to it.

When Singapore gained independence, very little changed in terms of racial mix. When we built Jurong Industrial Estate, we had little choice but to bring in Malaysians on a large scale. They even had to fill jobs in the civil service and in many professions. We had Malaysians as regulars in the Army, police Force and Fire Brigade. Foreigners had various missions to look after their nationals and we saw Norwegians sailors, Burmese doctors, British and American factory owners and engineers and even Japanese barbers in our daily dealings.

Then it was Filipino maids, again Indian labour for construction and it remains multi-ethnic and and cosmopolitan to this day.

So why are we now bigots, racists, and suffering from an unusual form of xenophobia.

The issue is overpopulation and the inability of infrastructure to cope with the sudden rise. People are venting their anger. The issue is limited jobs filled by cheaper labour.

Why is this so hard for the PAP to grasp. Why is our own government labelling us as bigots to the World at large?

They can grasp it. The trouble is they created a monster that will consume them unless fed regularly with human dignity as the sacrifice. Anyone threatening the food supply becomes an adversary. Of course you label your adversary with foul names .

Where is the money coming from to spend on building infrastructure? Money that could have been used for the welfare of sinkees are now being diverted to support the foreigners.

If you don't think sinkapore is overpopulated, why don't you invite 100 PATANs to stay with you? Then you can experience the concept of overpopulation.

 

[tanwahtiu]

this is a small island and only can have this number of population and to add more infrastructure will cramp the island even more hardly any space to live.

PAP has to get the fact right and this the reason why Singapore cannot be independent state from the beginning.

We are seeing the stress and strain of this over population small island.

They die die must have 7 m to arrest pop decline and refresh pop. They no longer see locals as assets but liabilities.

Wrong. The internal working target is 8 million. They floated the 6.9 mil figure just to test public reaction, and never expected such visceral response.

They never expected such a visceral response....!!! In the words of an infamous Kate Spade wannabe.. I don't know what to say!!!!!

 

[scroobal]

They have no idea how to fix the economy except throw more people in a small island which drives consumption and therefore the economy.

this is a small island and only can have this number of population and to add more infrastructure will cramp the island even more hardly any space to live.

It's plain common sense that humans not only take up space but other ammenities on sg. These resources are limited and it's also a fact that humans require space for recreation and etc. Who in his right mind would accept so many assholes on such a small island.

Wait for it.... Y2030, when we exhaust all avail space, we will request to merge with our northern neighbour!! By that time the high speed link to KL will be running and u can take MRT from AMK to Iskandar!!

it is a policy to grab as much as possible in case of being wipe out.

At the rate we're reclaiming land, it's a matter of time before we'll terrestrially merge with them!

Another one sees the light. Very good.

the muther farkers in oxlee road already grabbed everything, only bread crumbs for you.

 

[kingrant]

They screwed up and they knew it, but they started a fire that they cannot control now or taking too long to put under control. The SME bosses, who have been their porlumpars, are grumbling at the betrayal of the govt. at tightening the flow of cheap labour. The PAP is now between a rock and a hard place - the pressure of over population at large and low producitivity enterprises. No pity for them. Let's fuck them again in GE2015.
