I think the WP under Pritam is against Chinese immigrants. Don't want too many Chinese race in Singapore.

Migrants of Chinese descent is needed to ensure the 76% race ratio as Chinese Sinkies aren’t producing enough to make that number. Pritam wants CECAs to flood Singapore and turn it into cecapore

I don't see anything wrong with his suggestion. People who can't speak or understand English will not be able to fully assimilate in SG society. Nowadays people don't live in kampong where you can avoid dealing with outsiders or govt matters etc

Don't just look at the logic of it but also at the outcome. If English test requirement is compulsory then which from which country do you think the immigrants will mostly come from?

Bearing in mind that Singapore is a bilingual country and also a service orientated society.

Many foreign workers in SG also cannot speak English. So you want to deport all of them? Because of assimilation?
In SG, we have 4 official languages for what purposes?
To accommodate the Chinese, Malay and Indian living together with harmony. That is the unique advantage of Singapore! A multi races and languages nation.
Not to despise any one of the race's languages. Over 60 years, the 3 races assimilated well with harmony. Why want to rock the boat now. What is Pritam's purpose?
English is selected to be taught in school and use in govt document as a common standard among the 3 races. Compliance to international standard. Especially when ours was passed down from the British Empire. And also to accommodate the "others" race citizens. Primarily the Anglo-Saxon people.
However, English is not to replace away any of the 3 races, officially stipulated languages by law. Our mother tongues language is still a important element to retain our own ethical culture. A advantage when dealing with other countries of that same particular race.
Pritam is definitely playing up "Identity Politics" to the minority votes in my opinion. Sad and bad.
As a local Singaporean, with his education level and intelligence, it is difficult to believe he does not understand my post points.

OK, FTs must be able to speak Mandarin and English, if they are in the service industry (F And B).....................
