Singaporeans extinct in 2050

2050 The Chinese Straits Times
The last living original Singaporean has just been put on exhibition at the Singapore History & Heritage Museum after Singapore came to be part of China this year.
Singapore, since the start of the 20th century, has been experiencing a declining birth rate as many couples are reluctant to give birth due to the rising cost of living. Over the past 50 years, GST has increased 50 times, there are taxes on almost everything, and people are expected to work until they die before they can retrieve their CPF. Stress has become almost a part of everyday life, with more and more people committing suicide because they cannot cope in various aspects of their lives. Others just starved to death since a plate of chicken rice, which in 2007 cost $3, now costs $200.
Apparently the government's response to this problems was to bring in more and more people from other countries such China while Singaporeans slowly faced the threat of extinction. "It's very saddening", says Dr Thomas, an expert in Singaporean history, "Singapore was one of the top countries in the world 50 years ago, but even though leaders then had claimed the people to be their only resource, they weren't able to ensure the sustainability of this resource." -

There will always be a few which would hold onto the reins and pass power to their descendants.
We all know who they are. -

no offence though, but it seems very much like the Peranakans in S'pore. if wat is described realli happened in 2050, the definition of "Singaporean" wld haf been changed to describe the "majority" (seems to refer to PRC Chinese). by tt time, there will be assimilation just like the Peranakan popn being assimilated into the Chinese popn.
take a look at S'pore's past, there was an immigratn flux in the early 1900s, n there where different categories of Chinese, n different definitions of "Straits Chinese". onli the British subjects (includes some peranakans) where considered local.
when the early elections where conducted in the 1940s/50s, most of the population where immigrants, n ppl started to register for citizenship. the concept of "local" resident in Singapore is everchanging. the culture tt defines "local" is olso everchanging. S'pore used to haf similar culture to tt of Malaysia, but independence has added distinctive elements such as NS, even the lingua franca has changed over the times. the influx of new immigrants will add new elements to wat constitutes "Singaporean". Unless we completely shut ourselves off like N Korea, the landscape here will undergo huge changes. like it anot, globalisation has shaped this place for centuries, we, as decendents of immigrants, must learn to adapt like our forefathers, n not go soft in the present comfort zone tt we haf for the past few decades.
who noes, u may find urself married to a PRC or "new immigrant", or ur children will... (den "the singaporean" will cease to exist in 2050). -
maybe the government next time is alot better lea?
