Key Annual Indicators
Total Population 1/ ('000) 4,839.4
Singapore Residents 1/ ('000) 3,642.7
Singapore Citizens ('000) 3,164.4
Singapore Permanent Residents ('000) 478.2
http://www.singstat.gov.sg/stats/
1.675 million non-citizens(foreigners) are in Singapore.
34% of people in Singapore are foreigners.
1 out of every 3 persons in Singapore is a foreigner!
And that is set to grow!
i hope this time Chee Soon Juan--Dr--will not mix up the migration figure.
2 or 3 years back,in his SDP web site,CHEE quoted a Professor article saying
that SG was losingpeople,the second worst in the world after East Timor!!
Chee quoted a western professor article which
was based on CIA figures.Both of them do not mention CIA.
In fact,they are just damn wrong.CIA mean the opposite---
Both countries were facing highest incoming migration
per 100,000 in the world!East Timor just enjoyed peace,
while SG was enjoying booming enconomy and huge influx
of foreign students.If anyone has been traveling MRT every day
in SG in the past few years,he should note the train get more
crowded.But Chee did not take note!!

Half-blind man nearly lost everything to China bride
First, she threatened to get the police to arrest him if he refused to marry her. When he finally relented, she made him sign a document willing his home and all his assets to her.
Mr Liang, 62, who is blind in one eye, told a Shin Min Daily News reporter that he first met the China woman at a coffee shop near his home in 2004. His wife had passed away ten years earlier in 1994.
He said that she came up to him and introduced herself as a beautician from China and said that she wanted to be his friend.
The woman, who is 11 years younger than Mr Liang, told him that she was a divorcee, and that her ex-husband and daughter are in China.
Mr Liang said that the woman was very nice to him when they first met. However, things took a drastic change three months later.
"She told me that she wanted me to marry her. Should I refuse, she would report me to the police, accusing me of treating her badly and cheating her of her feelings."
As he had no knowledge about the penal code, Mr Liang took the China woman's threats for real and agreed to the marriage. He also listened to her instructions, asking him to keep his children in the dark about the nuptials.
"It was only at the Registry of Marriages did I realize that we needed two witnesses." Mr Liang told Shin Min, "I called my daughter, telling her I needed her as my witness, but she refused."
In the end, Mr Liang managed to get a male relative and a friend of the China woman's to witness their marriage registration.
It was only months later that Mr Liang's children learned of their father's marriage.
Despite acceding to her request, Mr Liang found that married life was no better. His new wife refused to work, and constantly asked him for money.
When his salary as a cleaner failed to satisfy his wife's needs, Mr Liang found himself asking his daughter for money.
The former cleaner also blamed his new wife for his partial loss of sight. Mr Liang said that he was suffering from glaucoma and cataracts, but his condition was in check as his daughter would take him to the doctor regularly.
When he remarried, his China wife assumed the responsibility, but failed to bring Mr Liang for treatment after the first time. By 2008, Mr Liang lost all sight in his right eye and was unable to work.
According to a doctor's report, Mr Liang's loss of sight was attributed to the neglect of his condition.
In early 2007, Mr Liang's new wife forced him to sign a document written in English. When Mr Liang indicated that he did not understand its contents, she refused to translate it for him.
When he brought it to a neighbour, Mr Liang was horrified to learn that it was an agreement stating that he had willed his $300,000 three-room flat as well as his CPF and bank savings to her.
However, as Mr Liang's children were aware of the agreement, the China woman did not benefit from it during the divorce proceedings.http://www.asiaone.com/News/AsiaOne%2BNews/
"I said that using a certain language to create a culture, the culture created can at best be a commercial culture, or technology culture, or we may call it pasar culture. It has no roots, and identifies itself with a certain material interest. It is the product of expediency.
"It is like duckweed, floating at the harbour. When it absorbs fertilisers, it will flourish very quickly. But once it rains and floods set in, it will perish," he said in an interview conducted in a restaurant in Haadyai, near the Thai-Malaysian border...
