Singapore citizens turning to minority soon?
Latest statistics: Citizens constitute only 63 per cent of Singapore’s population
September 28, 2009
From our Correspondent
According to the 2009 Population Trends report, Singapore’s total population at end-June was 4.99 million with 3.73 million Singapore residents and 1.25 million non-residents.
Though the number of PRs and citizens are not revealed, the National Population Secretariat puts the figures for the number of PRs at 0.48 million and citizens at 3.16 million:
This means that only 63.3 per cent of Singapore’s population are citizens with the number of non-Singaporeans, including PRs growing fast.
There are about 15,000 new births in 2008 and 100,000 new citizens and PRs. For every citizen born in Singapore, there are 6.7 PR and new citizen.
If the population growth and intake of foreigners remain at the same rate, there will be 1 million new citizens and PRs in 10 years time with only 150,000 births.
The percentage of Singapore citizens will decrease to 50 per cent or less if the government continues to “import” foreigners at such a rapid rate.
The relentless influx of foreigners had led to rampant inflation, sky-rocketing of prices of HDB flats and a stagnation of the wages of the lower-income group.
A recent report released by property company ERA revealed that 40 per cent of the buyers of HDB resale flats are foreigners.
The lower income group has also seen their salaries stagnate or even declined over the last decade due to the easily availability of cheap foreign labor who flocked to Singapore to earn a living.
The rising resentment and disgruntlement on the ground against the government’s liberal immigration policy had prompted Prime Minister Lee to reassure Singaporeans lately that he will “slow down” the intake of foreigners. However, he was quick to add that the policy will remain essentially unchanged though it will be tweaked.
With no opposition in Parliament, the ruling party is given complete power and autonomy to govern the nation as it likes. Singaporeans are completely under the mercy of the PAP. Unless there is a change in status quo, Singaporeans should be mentally prepared to live with more foreigners in their midst in the future.

End of Singaporean identity in 10 years?
No more Singaporeans in future?

I think in five years ratio of Singaporean citizens to foreign aliens will be 50/50.
We must take steps to vote PAP out of power and change rubbish policy now.

Depends on the definition of "Singapore Citizens".
Does it include those PRC, Indonesians, Indians, Filipinos that just converted to citizenship?
Or
Does it mean Singapore born citizens and those who have resided in Singapore for more than 21 years.
-
provided we have a chance at it...
-
We haven't even added in the next future 1.5 million new residents yet.

I think PAP has become mad. Serious.

wow, if Raffles was rejected and chased out of Singapore when he came instead of being welcomed to stay and develop Singapore, if the chinese immigrants who came from China in the early days were chased back to China instead of allowing them to settle down here.....they were welcomed to stay, the citizens then said YES to these people, so now, u are saying we should say NO to these people. Wow....maybe you are right you know....but who the hell are you, why should we listen to you?
