Vivian Balakrishnan talked rubbish to voters during the May 2006 general elections, told them that Singapore shouldn't be flooded with foreigners.
This turned out to be a complete lie.
After elections win, PAP started to flood Singapore with aliens and within a few short years, the demographics of Singapore changed shockingly.
Goh Chok Tong attacks Chiam See Tong on union with Malaysia idea
By Daniel Buenas
May 01, 2006
PEOPLE'S Action Party leaders - including Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong - last night launched a scathing attack on veteran opposition leader Chiam See Tong's idea for economic union between Singapore and Malaysia.
Speaking at a PAP rally in Potong Pasir, Mr Goh - who has been tasked by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong to help the party's candidate Sitoh Yih Pin unseat incumbent Mr Chiam in the coming elections - said the opposition leader was not being a 'realist'.
He was referring to Mr Chiam's suggestion at a rally in Chua Chu Kang Park on Saturday that one way to grow the economy would be for Singapore and Malaysia to strike an economic union.
'Economic union is possible only between two countries of equals, otherwise it is not possible,' Mr Goh said. 'My point for bringing this out is, to show that (while Mr Chiam) has some ideals, some vision, he is not a realist.'
Mr Chiam had also said on Saturday that such a union would allow Singaporeans to travel freely to Malaysia, and that because the Opposition has no history with the Malaysian government, it could 'bargain on a clean slate' on bilateral issues.
In response, Mr Goh said: 'When it comes to negotiations with the Malaysians, would you rather Lee Kuan Yew negotiate or Chiam See Tong? Just ask yourself . . . would you rather I (or PM Lee) negotiate, or Chiam See Tong?'
Mr Chiam's comments also came under fire from two other PAP leaders who turned up at the rally - Trade and Industry Minister Lim Hng Kiang and Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports Vivian Balakrishnan - as well as Mr Sitoh himself.
Mr Balakrishnan noted that, while Mr Chiam's plan would allow Singaporeans to 'pack their bags and travel to Malaysia anytime', it would also allow equal access to Singapore.
'His teammates in the Singapore Democratic Alliance have been saying that foreigners have been taking away jobs from Singaporeans,' Mr Balakrishnan said.
'You want union? You want free entry of people, of foreigners . . . are you really talking about making this place so everyone can come here? No work permits, no employment pass no control? Think again. Think very carefully,' he said.
In his speech, Mr Lim also questioned Mr Chiam's suggestion, and asked Singaporeans to compare the economic strategy of the PAP to that of the Opposition in order to judge who would better serve their interests.
'Mr Chiam says, we join Malaysia, we have a market of 27 million straightaway. Therefore, we can have double-digit growth every year,' Mr Lim said. 'Wah lau, so easy ah . . . so why just join Malaysia? Why not join Indonesia? They have 240 million people. Maybe triple-digit growth.'

So how? Is it really possible? Do we want to be the second EU? Think again.
we're too small and too far ahead of the other ASEAN economies (by proportion) to be effectively integrated. on this i agree that chiam is not realistic.
but the govt has really been closing two eyes for the last few years in letting immigrants come in. such that many low quality ones are here to stay for a long time to come.
Huh?
I thought it was foreigners give Singaporeans job all the time. So it is now foreigners taking jobs away from Singaporeans?
when u have a million dollars paycheck in front of you every year, who dares to not toe the line?
No one knows why people can trust Vote PAP OUT to Save SG to vote against PAP since Vote PAP OUT to Save SG is a taiwanese.
No one knows why should people trust Vivian to keep his word.
I am really getting confused.
The PAP said that foreigners provide jobs for Singaporeans, now they are saying foreigners are taking jobs from Singaporeans.
Which is which?

WTF!
They tell you one thing to suit their intent and purposes, then tell you the direct opposite when their intent and purposes change.
