Only the rich pple support a large population bcoz they benefit most from it while peasants suffers.

Since there are more peasants than rich people and PAP needs votes to stay in power. Why are they doing this? Are they crazy? :?

Even crazier to try to make our children study like superman-to-be, enhance our flat value etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etceteras.... please just leave us as peasants, we are happy and contented with dirt roads... And we will vote for you PAP.

The whole model seems to bank on the presumption that foreigners will always flock to Singapore as and when our govt wants them to..


What if, in 10-20 years' time, there are other far more attractive cities for them to emigrate to? Would they still want to come here?

And after getting all ready for that supposed \"worst case scenario\" of 6.9m, immigrant doesn't flock here--as they've anticipated, then how? What are we gonna do with the presumed \"Singaporean PMET\" core then?

If they can lack forsight few years ago, there's no reason why the same batch of policy-makers wouldn't lack forsight yet again, is there?

So much for \"preparing for the worst\".

Then Singaporeans don't have to worry about overcrowding lor. There will be lots of space and a laid back life. Isn't that what a lot of people are asking for? :evil:

I am not interested to speculate whoever's intention.

But, say, IF I am a selfish person. If I were currently in control of a company and I foresee that my control may not be sustainable in the long run, I would implement policies in my best interests regardless of the other individual's protest in preparation of the inevitable. Till then, I build up my golden nest :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: When it is time to handover, I gladly give up the control and enjoy my retirement in maybe Sentosa clove and my offsprings are well taken care of.. :evil: Leave the mess to those taking over..

When the bubble eventually bursts and the economy sours, the scheme spirals downward with higher unemployment, depressed wages, falling incomes, more people sinking into debt, more homeless families — and more men, women and children on public assistance.

That is the stage when the advocates of Ponzi demography — notably enterprises in construction, manufacturing, finance, agriculture and food processing — consolidate their excess profits and gains. That leaves the general public to pick up the tab for the mounting costs from increased population growth (e.g., education, health, housing and basic public services).

Sigh. That's the question they forgot to ask themselves. Everything also they want, only don't know how to justify. Hence no answer!

They don't want to have more babies, also don't want the gov to give special grants to encourage birth rate since not all will benefit, they don't want immigrants; also they don't want to pay higher tax and GST... lets pray money fall from heaven by billions.

Above all, let's pray that we will be forever as blessed!

We need not turn the nation into peasants even if we do not want excessive population growth leading to overcrowding, if you're expecting an answer from me.
