A thought about social
cohesion alternative viewed?
Singaporean who lived,
worked, and played within the island state knows that they are not
going anywhere but to live side by side. So i have no doubt
that Practical nature of Singaporean who are borne and brought up
here understand Harmony is a
quintessential characteristic of living in
Singapore.
I think the fact that we
inject foreigners too quick and too fast into Singapore within a
short period of time create ripple effect. These are foreigners
who at the back of their mind their home country is prefered
and they applied their own political history to
Singapore.
Does it mean that the
entire Singapore populations have to re-learned the history of the
60s all over again? Have to walk thru the Geo politics within this
region?
Do we really need to
re-invent the wheel all over again to benefit the late
comer?
The one question should be
asking; what type of foreigners should we admit? Nearer to our
regions with similar history background or nearer to our culture
but different social and political viewed?
What about for the
1st time in our History, we have
2nd generation of overseas borne from
Singaporean living overseas? They carried natural emotional ties of
Singapore and are keenly aware of their identity, a subgroup that
maybe Singapore government needs to pay attention.
What about Asian who grew
outside their own ethnics countries but are keenly wanting to move
back to Asia. They are educated and carried an open mind keenly
wanting to learn about Asia culture perharps that is a social group
that Singapore should Tap on before blindly admitting Tom Dick and
Harry who carry excessive baggage of social intergration problems
and counter political viewed.
Singapore isn’t that huge
of a place in terms of land and its economies, it needs quality not
quantities. The problems lies in how we
perceived our problems and how we solved
it.
Should we even look
at expanding Domestics demand for the local Economy by
increasing population. or perharps Singapore Govt should
practices Fiscal Conservative. Stop creating more problems to solve
other problems.
I like your posts. You seem to be in sync with my views as
well.
