Lawrence warned of ‘Structural Decline’ Without Migrant Workers
#1

Singapore’s prime minister-in-waiting called for the global economy to be “prepared for the unpredictable,” amid strained relations between the US and China over matters of trade and geopolitics.

“Intense, extreme competition will be the defining feature in the bilateral relationship,” Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said, referring to ties between the world’s two largest economies. He was speaking...

Singapore’s declining birth rate and its aging population require a sustained yet well calibrated influx of migrant workers, according to Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong.

“If we are not able to bring in immigrants to top up the population then we are in structural decline, and eventually the population will decline, the workforce will decline and Singapore will decline,” Wong said at the Reinventing Destiny conference in Singapore on Monday.

At the same time, Wong said Singapore is controlling the number of immigrants who will be allowed to work and that the number isn’t limitless nor excessive. “At the end of the day, the numbers are constrained by how much we are able to integrate the new arrivals” and how the migrants “embrace our values and way of life.”

As a small, open economy, Singapore relies on foreign workers to help meet its labor needs. Yet immigration rules have tightened in recent years as the government needs to strike a balance between protecting local jobs as well as ensuring that it has enough resources to meet the demands of an increasing migrant population amid slowing economic growth.

“We will not have the ability to integrate all of them into our society,” he said. “A small proportion will come in as permanent residents and it’s gated, it’s regulated. And we want to make sure that those who come in as permanent residents and eventually citizens are the ones who have the best chance to integrate into our society.”

He don't even live in HDBs/Condos facing ranjiao behaviour from CECAs and his job is not even effected by any FTs, how is he going to empathize with commoners?

Time to vote him out in next GE and send all CECAs to live in his house.

look at current population of singapore;
6,000,000 and increasing>

https://www.worldometers.info/world-popu...opulation/

at this point,
it's known as
''𝗜𝗡𝗙𝗘𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡 𝗜𝗡 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗦''

fellow singaporeans who are smart enough should know why
everywhere is crowded like fück
and BTOs are ever increasing
not for you ''common people'' sake

but for

their agenda
their comfort in life
their wants
their needs

so you still care much for this piece of shïtland under them?

Heng Arh! I am not as dumb as Jac Lau

There! I said before that PAP is using population growth to increase GDP

Same excuse to make citizens redundant in our country

Same approach to deny citizens of a job here again

After 12 Years, PAP will still want to open the Floodgates

and now with the New Compass Framework

Why do we need 5 Mayors and 80 PAP Ministers?

when/how would it take to get it into their skulls that the general public's grouse is not with the "migrant workers", unless the ruling party considers those PMET-jobs stealing so-called "foreign talents" that they import in hordes as "migrant workers"...

Hide in the ivory tower for too long lah.  Rotfl
Let Sg continue to rot.

A real leader will solve the problem from the cause not from the outcome.

Becos of this excuse, they keep evading the real problem.

 After 20 years, PM Lee have not built our own Local Core in our workforce? So indeed, we are merely supplementing the workforce and thus, allowed to be replaced by more foreigners.
