Population implantation a 2nd look at social cohesion
-
Does it mean that the entire Singapore populations have to re-learned the history of the 60s all over again? Have to walk thru the Geo politics within this region?
Do we really need to re-invent the wheel all over again to benefit the late comer?
The one question should be asking; what type of foreigners should we admit? Nearer to our regions with similar history background or nearer to our culture but different social and political viewed?
PAP has re-engineered a whole new 'eco-system' in Singapore. Frankly, I can't imagine what the future of the next generation will be like or how the next generation will live. -

Singaporean who lived, worked, and played within the island state knows that they are not going anywhere but to live side by side. So i have no doubt that Practical nature of Singaporean who are borne and brought up here understand Harmony is a quintessential characteristic of living in Singapore.
I think the fact that we inject foreigners too quick and too fast into Singapore within a short period of time create ripple effect. These are foreigners who at the back of their mind their home country is prefered and they applied their own political history to Singapore.

What about for the 1st time in our History, we have 2nd generation of overseas borne from Singaporean living overseas? They carried natural emotional ties of Singapore and are keenly aware of their identity, a subgroup that maybe Singapore government needs to pay attention.
What about Asian who grew outside their own ethnics countries but are keenly wanting to move back to Asia. They are educated and carried an open mind keenly wanting to learn about Asia culture perharps that is a social group that Singapore should Tap on before blindly admitting Tom Dick and Harry who carry excessive baggage of social intergration problems and counter political viewed.
Singapore isn’t that huge of a place in terms of land and its economies, it needs quality not quantities. The problems lies in how we perceived our problems and how we solved it.
Should we even look at expanding Domestics demand for the local Economy by increasing population. or perharps Singapore Govt should practices Fiscal Conservative. Stop creating more problems to solve other problems.
I like your posts. You seem to be in sync with my views as well.

The problems are growing exponentially every year as we speak.

They are trying to model this on Western perspective, which will not fit Singaporean society totally.
Since we have a Racial Harmony in Singapore, then I believe it is being run mainly on Asian values.
If these new races are going to come in, then we have new challenges to face to integrate them.
USA and Canada may assume that immigrants are like the citizens there who will go on with a losing culture as they will be far from their parents once they grow up. This should not be likewise for Singaporeans.

Can you really be sure that SG govt really nail down the roots of problems or simply address the consequences of problems? by bringing other problems?
There's no problem that 10 million dollars can't solve.
