What if 50% of sporeans migrate?

If Singapore were not careful, it could split into two or three parts, warns Foreign Minister George Yeo.
"And that third Singapore is the big chunk of people squeezed in the centre, between the poor and the rich," he said.
"This group is the most vulnerable. If they feel the high life is out of their reach, frustration can set in. And being more mobile than the lower-end group, they can be tempted to vote with their suitcases. That is an option the other group doesn't have."
Meanwhile influx of various groups who seems to be either unable or unwilling to integrate comes in..what we need is quality people who can fit in..

I think it's more practical to elect a new govt.

No wonder not enough emphasis is given on the lower-end group. They don't have the monetary capability to escape paying taxes in SgOriginally posted by Catknight:If Singapore were not careful, it could split into two or three parts, warns Foreign Minister George Yeo.

Agree.... or at least give more seats to the opposition.... having opposition fill up the whole paliarment and having 2 PAP there won't do much eitherOriginally posted by googoomuck:I think it's more practical to elect a new govt. -

Count me in......proud to be in that 50%.......in the world's 2nd largest country where bottomline is not everything.....Originally posted by Ferret:I hope u r in the 50%
Frankly I don't blame little red dot for being so bottomline minded as that is the only thing she's go to keep her afloat....This has been debated and agreed upon for many years, people are her only resource and the economy is her only means of survival....but do a reality check if you want to be just another cog in the economic wheel, where only en bloc sales and bigger cars matter.....so lame......better start knowing that this is not the best place in the world to be....that other places may not be as economically strong as Sillypore but offer a better life balance..... -
Oh yes.....we would love to see 50% migrate.....after all it won't be a problem replacing us, what with all the influx from China and India, Vietnam & Myanmar......Malaysia......shiok man......we will see little India and Geylang grow in size....

There's billions of PRC and Indians waiting to replace us. There is no worry Singapore will be a ghost town

Not to sound racist or anything but it's a little annoying that so many Asians migrate to Australia. Last time I visited home it didn't feel the same, it felt like I was still in Singapore. Worse yet, they live in Asian communities in Asian suburbs and only associate with other Asians so you get this massive separation between the races and a lot of ethnic gangs form.

To paraphrase Neil Humphreys, it makes you wonder why on earth they left their countries in the first place.Originally posted by jondizzle foshizzle:Not to sound racist or anything but it's a little annoying that so many Asians migrate to Australia.

Maybe some are students? What I notice is that most students, be it asian or americans , they like to mix within their own company. The americans especially. I know it because my good friend who is american , don't really like to mix with the Australian community except when he just wants to pick up chicks. He mixes with me because he knows me but he doesn't care to mix with other asians or australians he don't know. And I also notice some fair amount of american worship coming from the australians when I go out with him.Originally posted by jondizzle foshizzle:Not to sound racist or anything but it's a little annoying that so many Asians migrate to Australia.

Melbourne is a student town basically. Brisbane is starting to turn into a student town smack in the city.
For me , I have friends who are australian and some are australian born asians . The australian born asians seem to feel more comfortable with the caucasian ones than asian migrants.
The ethnic gangs , chinese or viet , usually mind their business within asian suburbs. The lebanese ones are the ones who go out and create a Cronulla problem.
Having said that , why not look at the greek , middle eastern or italian communities, they are worse - from past experience, at least the elderly asians in the hospital make a concerted effort to speak english , even though it is horrible to hear them can the language.
From my past experience , most of the elderly migrants of italian , greek and middle eastern descent expect you to KNOW THEIR LANGUAGE. They are the ones with the mentality that if you are a girl and you can't speak their language, you are just some inferior piece of crap. -
If 50% of sporeans migrate, then more PRCs will replace that 50%.
Its the policy here.
