Actually six million is not such a bad figure because it could be much worse. Hopefully the Govt keeps to its word and not exceed that.
Incidentally what will happen to the low TFR and aging problem? Somehow when the population reaches 6 million, the problem will be solved automatically?
You poor SOB! All the PAPzi talked about was low TFR and that is why they need to bring in millions of FTs. By the number of FTs they have allowed in even if each Singaporean family had a TFR of 4 the PAPzis will still import FTs although a fewer number.
The PAPzis have never said that importing FTs will help to increase the TFR. Only stupid Singaporeans make such an assumption on their own. Even the 154th never made such a remark.
The PAPzis have said that about 20 years ago that our population is getting old and without a larger pool of Singaporeans to support CPF payments, the older generation will have problems with their CPF because CPF needs younger to pay into their accounts to support payment to retirees. This is of course because the way the CPF has been managed by the PAPzis is very much what ponzi schemes do.
When the PAPzis imported millions of FTs stupid Singaporeans think that this will help them when the age because they think younger FTs contribute to CPF will help the elderly later. But the PAPzis never said this. Only stupid Singaporeans imagined this. The fact is that at least 90% of these FTs will return to their homeland before or when they retire from work here. When they leave they will leave with any CPF they invested here and capital gains from asset enhancement schemes of the PAPzis. This is well known fact and yet stupid Singaporeans think that the PAPzis are helping them.
The PAPzis have sold you out plain and simple. What they need is a huge tax base for GST, a lot of cheap labour, and high demand for housing to enrich the government to pay for out of this world salaries and for them to benefit from rent-seeking activities.
