As predicted.....foreign workers will come with or without Singaporean support...but I think you and I are out of the picture already...we are overseas Singaporeans now.. -
Well, lets hope the Singapore government do not give that PR status and Singapore citizenship to foreigners so easily without knowing their true motives of working in Singapore and then later given that PR status which I see 70% to 80% PR status foreigners are here to take for a ride without any intention of being Singaporeans later. They will leave once they have used Singapore as a stepping stone to migrate to another country or returning to their own country after they 'swindle' Singapore and Singaporeans wealth.

South Korea Scours Himalayas for Staff as Population Ages
While neighboring Japan has largely rejected imported labor as a solution to its aging workforce, South Korea is beginning to accept it. Immigrants have risen sevenfold since 2000, to 2.8 percent of the population, and could make up more than 6 percent by 2030, the government said.

SDP puts out own 'White Paper'
By ROBIN CHAN
THE Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) has responded to the Government's Population White Paper with a proposal that it believes will shrink the number of people here.While both the White Paper and the Workers' Party alternative plan propose varying degrees of population growth over the next two decades, the SDP wants to reduce the 5.3 million people who are here now.
The 38-page paper provides six recommendations to present a "new approach" to Singapore's population challenges.
"What we are advocating is that the current population level of 5.3 million can and should be reduced because of all the current problems we are seeing," said SDP chief Chee Soon Juan at the launch of the paper at Bras Basah Complex.
"And if we don't take care of these problems right now, we are going to see them coming back to haunt us."
The release of SDP's paper comes a week after Parliament passed the White Paper on Population with a vote of 77 to 13.
Titled "Building A People: Sound Policies For A Secure Future", it makes controlling immigration the focus of its alternative policy proposals.
Among them is a stringent points-based system to control the quality and quantity of foreign professionals called the Talent Track Scheme.
It would require all potential foreign job seekers to be assessed and given points based on a set of criteria, including age, number of dependants, qualifications and level of skill, in order to get permission to work here, get permanent resident status or citizenship.
This will be supplemented by what the party calls fair employment laws such as a minimum wage of $7 an hour and a tax on a foreign worker's income instead of a levy.
It says the measures may be able to reduce the number of low-skilled foreign workers from about 900,000 today, to 300,000 to 450,000 by 2020.
Another proposal in its paper is to develop a Genuine Progress Indicator (GPI) to be used alongside the conventional gross domestic product.
The Singapore GPI would measure the performance of a basket of indicators across economic, social, security and environmental needs.
Eventually the party believes it should also be used as a benchmark for ministerial and civil servant pay.
The paper was presented by party treasurer Vincent Wijeysingha and Mr Jeremy Chen, an SDP member and PhD candidate at the Department of Decision Sciences at the National University of Singapore.

So..I see it this way now..this national issue of 'white paper' on Singapore population is actually a blessing in disguise. This is actually the start of a new era and its the start of the PAP ruling government downfall as from now...

Population growth is a dead end for this small island. $$ alone won't solve all problems.
