Chiam See Tong appalled at PAP's 6.9 million population plan.
Chiam See Tong weighs in on Population White Paper
Opposition veteran and former Potong Pasir MP Chiam See Tong has weighed in on the population White Paper in an online video put up on Wednesday.
Like many other critics, he said he was “appalled” at the projections that Singapore’s population could hit 6.9 million by 2030.
The Singapore People’s Party chief said the “huge figure” surpasses the population of Scandinavian countries and will put tremendous pressure on Singapore’s infrastructure - especially housing - in the future.
“That is the day when Singaporeans will suffer the pressure of high population, truly high population in Singapore,” said Mr Chiam of the 2030 projection.
He criticised the Government for pursuing a “growth at all costs” policy since Singapore’s independence and bringing in foreign workers who took away jobs from Singaporeans.
“You may ask what is the solution. I think the best solution is to open the doors for more Singaporeans to give more of their ideas. Singapore is purportedly a democratic country. For that purpose, we have to invite more Singaporeans to join the opposition so they can give more ideas to the government,” said Mr Chiam.
“I'm sure when you open the flood gates, many many more Singaporeans will come forward with brilliant ideas and the problems can be solved easily,” he said.

Gilbert Goh calls upon the people of Singapore to strongly oppose PAP's population plan.
Singapore plans rare protest as population debate rages
Wed, Feb 6, 2013
SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore is to hold a rare anti-government demonstration against plans for a dramatic increase in immigration that would boost the island's population by as much as 30 percent by 2030.
Discontent is growing in affluent Singapore over a rising number of foreigners blamed for strains on infrastructure, ballooning housing costs and transportation headaches in a country slightly smaller than New York City.
Public expression is a delicate act in Singapore where government figures, including elder statesman Lee Kuan Yew, father of the current prime minister, Lee Hsien Loong, have sued critical opposition MPs for defamation. Nearly all media are pro-government.
Protest organiser Gilbert Goh said he hoped to attract 1,000 people to the February 16 event at Speakers' Corner, a designated park exempt from strict government controls over assemblies, speeches and outdoor protests.
Nearly 1,100 people said on a Facebook page they will or may join the demonstration against a government proposal on January 29 to raise the population to 6.9 million. Of that, up to 36 percent, or 2.5 million, would be made up of foreign workers to balance a low birth rate and sustain economic growth.
"Let us send a strong signal to our government that we don't want 6.9 million people living here by 2030," Goh said.
The public generally supports Singapore's tough laws and tight social controls as part of a social contract that in return has delivered years of economic prosperity.
But calls for change are growing. Opposition parties won record support in the 2011 general election. The long-ruling People's Action Party, founded by Lee Kuan Yew, occupies 80 of 87 seats in parliament but lost two recent by-elections by surprisingly large margins in signs of mounting discontent.

pappy misuse the foreign labor policies they had on us.
we need foreign cheap labor yes. those contract up times up tehy leave we will then replace new ones, or concurrently so that training can poss on to the new ones.
who the hell justify a numnerb as 6.9 million?
there is a big differnce between foreign labor and the new citizens and prs that shall make upo the true core of our population.
dont mis the two together.
conmen!
the whle white paper is toilet paper. dont make sense at all!
but even gicing a name 'toilet paper' is too good for this paper. when one hold sa toilet paper in your hands, you know what to do next, like shaft it in your ass, rub and clean some shit off. but this one, expect to shaft it in our montths to silent us? why not shaft it into their own mouths first and taste it and tell us is salt, sugar or vinegar enough or not?.

the productivity frontier should only be pushed with much greater sensitivity and studies ..

eventually the ultimate screw up may be they did not do anything at all they just sat on the situation
