Why the BE in PE could not wait...like the 7 mil population

[Confuseous]

Second, National Population and Talent Division's white paper on Singapore's population policies is scheduled to be released soon. Some analysts expect that the population planning parameter will be raised from 6.5 million to 7.0 million[1].

7.0 million?

Already, many people feel that the country is bursting at the seams with a population of 5.3 million (in June 2012), and foreigners are taking away their jobs and/or suppressing their salaries.

The Government will of course try to assure the people that it is only a planning parameter that will form the basis of Singapore's development plans for housing, recreation, health care and land transport. But few governments will invest billions of dollars in infrastructure unless they envisage the population reaching (or, in the case of Singapore, allow the population to reach) the planning parameter in the foreseeable future, i.e., the next decade or two.

The writing is on the wall.

First, Minister for Transport Lui Tuck Yew announced plans to double the rail network...http://refocusing.blogspot.sg/2013/01/why-punggol-east-by-election-couldnt.html

Looking at the MRT master plan, seems more like 8 million. Otherwise, there will be another dislocation between Population white paper and MRT planning parameters.

And don't be surprised that the soon to be released white paper will offer a lower number like 7 mil, but govt will sneak in even more immigrants like how they did in past decade. Add one more million to whatever number this dishonest pap is telling you.

The PAP elites have it all figured out. The Masterplan will call for the building of subterranean cities, with multiple levels. Each level, which will be approximately the size of the country, will accommodate 5 million people. There is no limit on the many levels and thus the population.

The PAP has assembled a team of futurists, scientists, engineers from India, China and Philippines to work on this project.

Welcome to the future of sinkapore. Those born in sinkapore will be relocated to the lowest level. Foreign talents from non-traditional countries will occupy the above ground level, together with the PAP elites and groups identified by the PM. Chinese and Indian immigrants will get to live on G-1 (one level beneath ground). Sinkees will occupy the next level. As more foreigners are brought in, sinkees will move further down. Sinkees always have a special position ...the lowest level.
