MM Lee urges Singaporeans to “bear” with competition with foreigners
February 19, 2010
Caught off guard by the rising public anger against its misguided immigration and pro-foreigner policies, the ruling party has been fire-fighting for the last few weeks to appease Singaporeans by introducing last-minute cosmetic changes to “sharpen the distinction between citizens and PRs.”
One of its chief architects and proponents of a disastrous plan to boost Singapore’s population to 6.5 million people, Singapore’s octogenarian strongman Lee Kuan Yew has made an amazing U-turn yet again.
In a speech made to Tanjong Pagar residents lately, Lee now said that Singapore citizens and PRs have received “very different treatment in government policies” and urged Singaporeans not to forget the “contributions” that foreigners have made to the economy.
He tried to fend off criticisms that the government has backtracked on its immigration policy now by explaining that the inflow of foreigners was being moderated now and not earlier because “they were needed for the building of the two integrated resorts, which will create more jobs for Singaporeans, draw tourists and boost the economy.”
“When you grumble about the workers, remember they do the heavy work for us. Without them, we would not be here.” he added.
However, besides blue collar workers, there is an increasing number of foreigners who are taking up jobs which can otherwise be filled by Singaporeans such as the PMETs.
According to a Wall Street Journal editorial, the relentless influx of foreigners into Singapore had depressed the wages of ordinary Singaporeans, increased the cost of living, especially that of public housing, decreased labor productivity and led to an overall decline in the standards of living.
Singapore’s GDP growth in the last few years was fueled largely by the availability of cheap foreign labor which keeps business costs low, thereby inflating the growth figures artificially.
A certain percentage of Singapore ministers’ multi-million dollar salary is pegged to GDP growth – the higher the growth, the more money they bring home.
At the same time, Singapore’s income gap between the rich and the poor has widened considerably. It is quite obvious that the economic gains “contributed” by foreigners are not shared equally across the population – the rich has become richer while the poor has become poorer.
Lee also called on Singaporeans to bear with the inconveniences or competition for space on buses, MRT trains, even in schools with foreigners as if the “the Government were to reduce the flow too much, the economy would slow and this would lead to property prices and incomes going down.”
‘We always give preference to our own citizens,” he added.
The ruling party appears to be completely clueless on how to lead Singapore in the next lap of development and is unwilling to wean off its perennial addiction to foreign workers.
Singaporeans should not be hoodwinked by Lee’s latest “wayang” to pull a wool over their eyes again.
Let us recall what he said in an interview with the National Geographic magazine only a few months ago:
“Over time, Singaporeans have become less hard-driving and hard-striving. This is why it is a good thing that the nation has welcomed so many Chinese immigrants.” Lee was quoted saying.
He described the country’s new subjects as “hungry,” with parents who “pushed the children very hard.”
“If native Singaporeans are falling behind because the spurs are not stuck into the hide, that is their problem,” he quipped.

Every NS men who serve their own country and die is their OWN PROBLEM
Every NS men who get $500 per month doing army is their own problem
Every Singaporean who elected PAP to tell them its their own problem
Is our ancestors and founding father who fought for singapore during WWII and die and work hard for Singapore to succeed is their OWN problem
Every eldery person who beg for foods on the street and collect waste paper cardboard without anything to eat is their own Problem
Every 10 year old school children who jumped down from their flats is their own problem
Every husband who jumped on the MRT rail way line because he cannot feed his son/daughters and wife is his own problem
Ever since, we elected a crying LKY into parliament, it has been our own problem all along after all those years.
All the sacrifices many unknown singaporeans contributed to what singapore is today was buried 10 feet underground by the word our own problem and nothing to do with PAP -
Pushing responsibility of government to their own people is very responsible behaviour by PAP

life without problem, then no life liao lor.
We are born crying, and many people laughing and cheering. Because we dun want to come here to face problem, people are laughing and cheering becos you came in and joined them.
So, when we die, try to die laughing or smiling as many people will be crying and sad, provided you left behind a huge amount of money, most will be more than happy

Foreigners acting as pseudo-Singaporeans - preferring to be a "zwei-siao-Hog" acting as a troll in any and every thread in the Speaker's Corner and Military Nuts forums - should learn to take its own advise to stay out of SgForums.Do you have anything of substance to contribute other then your expertise in instigating controversies and petty quarrels ?
Or are you another 'Attention Seeking Whore' like the resident Taiwanese 'hum' ?
