Due to unfettered access of FTs so that more can become PRs and New Citizens. This is the only way to maintain and stabilise the FT Quantity every year.

PR actually happy here partly make them more richer. They can buy resale HDB flat. Later same like locals just flip high at resale market to sell.
One advantage come PR sell off even they sell at a lost , than pay high charges minus here and there they still profit in the sense due to Currency conversion back to their motherland currency. Next they don't need to put back money inside their CPF.
Summary they can just withdraw ALL assets they earn from SG happy retire in REAL RICH back in their country.
real cirizens only 3.6+ m
rest are pr about 0.5m
foreigners like passes, relatives etc. made up the millions to reach 6m

They are also buyer, not just sellers. They add to the demand. Without that demand, you think our flats can sell for so much?

True.
And even citizens are not all born here. PG and MG add up to 1 m. So there are about 2.6 m who are not PG or MG of which another about 1 m are under 21. That leaves 1.6 m Singaporeans in the workforce, and these Singaporeans include new citizens. FTs and FWs already outnumber locally-born Singaporean workers now. I am quite aware that foreigners now hold managerial posts in various sectors.
At this rate, we can forget about a Singaporean identity that has a deep culture. We will just be a melting pot of cultures with ties to Myanmar, Vietnam, the Philippines, India, China, Malaysia, Japan, Korea and the West. These cultures will not merge to form a unique Singaporean culture. Tribal instincts will see to that. We will remain to be multi-cultural and the government has to ensure that there is racial and cultural tolerance or there will be a mini world war in Singapore.

"Global City Nation" the Rajaratnam believed that the growth of Singapore as a global city.
This directive was stipulated since our Independence began.
Until now, it is 100% relevant and successful for Singaporean.
Singapore's growth and future will always be different from our neighbouring countries.
Because our sovereignty is largely base on Global mutual cooperation. Not solely dwelling within internal politicisation.
A formula that cannot be copy by our neighbours.

A staggering 95% of jobs growth in 2023 and 89% in 2022 went to foreigners. PRs and S'poreans are fighting over the leftovers.
