Why should these new citizens not be welcomed ?
They have yet to realise that they are being treated as
"suckers"
- to maintain the political stability of the PAP by diluting the
growing numbers of disgruntled original citizens;
- to boost the population;
- to maintain the ethnic ratio;
- to contribute into the dwindling balance in the CPF that has
been affected by the dwindling birth rates over the last 30
years;
- to inject funds into the National Reserves, as most new
citizens must have at least US$250,000 before being allowed
Citizenship;
- to increase consumption of the essential services provided by
the Government that will boost the Annual Surplus;
- to become catalyst to the Singapore economy that is
spiralling into a major doldrum;
- to take up the slack created by a tired, aged, and resigned
original population;
Will the New Citizens be as enthusiastic when they realise that
the solemn ceremony taking the Singapore
Pledge is no more then an
"aspiration" - and not a certainty that
they is to be a collective effort from the Government and the
People ?
They will be true Singaporeans when they become
dis-illusioned like the original Citizens; and realised that
they have no avenues to demonstrate - let alone to protest.
