1.675 million non-citizens(foreigners) are in
Singapore.
34% of people in Singapore are foreigners.
1 out of every 3 persons in Singapore is a foreigner!
And that is set to grow!
i hope this time Chee Soon Juan--Dr--will not mix up the
migration figure.
2 or 3 years back,in his SDP web site,CHEE quoted a Professor
article saying
that SG was losingpeople,the second worst in the world after
East Timor!!
Chee quoted a western professor article which
was based on CIA figures.Both of them do not mention CIA.
In fact,they are just damn wrong.CIA mean the opposite---
Both countries were facing highest incoming migration
per 100,000 in the world!East Timor just enjoyed peace,
while SG was enjoying booming enconomy and huge influx
of foreign students.If anyone has been traveling MRT every
day
in SG in the past few years,he should note the train get
more
crowded.But Chee did not take note!!
