all the bullshit about PAP wanting S'poreans to have more children is just a smokescreen for their real aim to increase foreign immigration into S'pore.
PAP leaders know full well that most S'poreans can't afford to have 3 children.............in fact with just 1 child, many are already struggling...........
to top it off, the Govt don't give monthly financial help to those needy families with children unlike in European countries............
PAP wants to have a huge increase of foreigners in S'pore but need a FALSE excuse................which is low birth rate for locals...........
to save yourselves..........your kids...............your grandkids................you know what you better do............
They want, but problem is, can you afford to deliver?
Ya, last time, even poor, to have 10 childrens is not much of a problem, now hor, 2 childrens only, many couples cannot tarhan liao, so get foreigners like me come in lor, good luck to singaporeans
in UK.........got families with 10 children............govt pay them about $200,000 Singdollah every year leh...........
anyway, spread the word..............vote for PAP.............if you want your kids to mati..............

What you saying is not realistic. How many children can an average Singaporean have? A HBD flat have limited no of rooms, each room for one child. So growth all depends on the property sector.
We should not stop immigration but put more checks on immigration. We only want to let in quality skilled migrants not PRC desperate low cost workers. S'pore got no resources so the only resources is in its Human Capital. S'pore must continue to encourage scientist, doctors, professors, bankers to boost the human capital. It is the only way. USA is a successful country because they have brought in many foreign scientist. S'pore is bringing in way too many immigrants, should put a quota.
If you look at M'sia, the country is dying because they have their protectionist policy. Malaysia is running dry of its own skilled labour because many are running to singapore and other countries. Malaysia is not replacing its lost labour thru immigration so many factories are left with a lot of vacant skilled position for engineers. This is why immigration is so important for S'pore. If want to limit immigration then why not stop all the foreign prostitutes from coming here and working in geylang?
S'pore should implement point based system and place yearly quota on immigration and should never stop immigration.
thin its pointless to talk about last time
the present and past are totally different.
last time the air is fresher - now its fucking hard to breath fresh air
last time the north pole cover large area, now its strunking smaller
last time LKY walk at a speed 4.2mph, now he walking at speed 1.3mph
using the past to compare to the present is kind of dumb.........
So the government is telling us they are bringing in more foreigners because at present our birth rate is low.
Now, let say all singaporeans respond to the call to have more babies, and as a result the birth rate is back to normal or higher. These babies will only enter the workforce 18 years later.
But what the government is doing now is they are bringing in foreigners who enter the workforce immediately and not 18 years later. And for the new citizens they bring in does not mean they will be producing more babies to hit the target.
So if you think government bring in more foreigners because birth rate is low, that's an excuse and not the truth.
dun compare with other countries, beside, there are pros and cons in each country policies, in UK, if couple working, nothing given and yet taxation very high, if jobless, given a job and dun work, also no money given,...they are very strict with welfare now.
mati also good, vote for PAP lor

We should instead lobby for less PAP domination in the govt but still remain in power. I don't think opposition is prepared to rule S'pore. PAP must solve the high property price, reduce the pay for ministers, social welfare homes for the old folks and still encourage immigration but put yearly quota restrictions.

I agree with you. The immigration policy too lax now that many "yao-kui" bosses go hire cheap PRC and Filipino workers so that they can save costs....

you should tell PAP they not realistic and not me since they want people to have more kids not me.............they should know HDB flats very small.........
if S'pore is getting all the rich buggers as immigrants then it's okay...............good for the country but we're like a garbage bin for all sorts of people.....................
for your info, all the European nations and USA are suffering becoz of too many immigrants................
as long as theres more head count.$$$$ can be deducted from salary into cpf every month...along with pub bills....mrt fares...etc etc

Of course they want rich lah, more tax means more revenue. Very hard you know, if you own a local business, you surely want to employ cheaper labour. All the business organisations and MNCs want to lobby to the govt for cheaper labour. PAP is under pressure. If the businesses don't get their wish, they will pack up and ship out to China. Problem is that many people are getting married later and later.
Land so scarce. How? Of course HBD have to be small to save cost. Govt is doing all they can. Be foreward, Singapore is going to turn into expensive Tokyo, it is inevitable. All the best the govt can do is to slow down the process.

this is just like WTO within S'pore.............except the jobs stay in S'pore but going to foreigners at lower pay................
now you know why people in developed countries protest at WTO meetings..........
no GOVT that really serve the people would want mass immigration...............some more S'pore so small........
take USA for example, official unemployment is 9.5%............reality is probably 50% more than that...........if they kick out all the Mexicans and other non-White illegal immigrants..................job situation will improve big-time.............
plus less crime...........less vice.............less drugs..............

basically they're trying to widen the base of the pyramid so they can continue to spend big money on salaries and the SAF..................etc etc

CPF don't pay for govt salaries. It is your GST, tax and duties that are paying their salaries. So if you want to reduce minister pay, spend less lor.

They die die have to work OT. They are paid $400 - $500 monthly, without OT, how are they going to pay for rent, transport, food etc?

The mexicons are taking all the low level jobs the Americans don't want like labourers, farm workers and maids. Some more most of them are illegal, they sneak in from the porous 2,000 km border.

CPF from the foreign people to support the ponzi scheme..............

Well ponzi or not at least more better than China. They dun even have CPF. They have to save the salary themself. Actually singapore should reduce CPF dominance/monopoly by allowing private mutual fund companies to take over like the superannuation policy in Australia.
Actually you have a point but i don't think the money from CPF is use to pay minister benefits and pay but the money could be channeled into the benefit of PAP sponsored construction and investment projects and probably PAP supporter businesses can obtain cheaper ball outs if the stock market collapse.

Yes, sometimes I wish LKY decided to turn Singapore into a resort beach haven like Bahamas, Hawaii, Bali or US Virgin Islands but instead turn the island into tall building concrete and steel. Stressful life.
