People just evaluate from what u write,as well as what you
quote.
If u quote without any qualifications,it mean you agree what

quote.
The worst is the learned Professor has stayed in Singapore!!
Now u
can see for yourself the standard of our learned CHEE SOON
JUAN,PhD.
....The reason: to fill jobs left vacant as native born
Singaporeans continue to emigrate at what is perhaps the second
highest rate in the world (an estimated 26.11 per thousand, second
only to East Timor.)....
1.PAP cover the true no. of emigration is the best
defense
Many of you will pick this grand reason to support another learned
academic
living in ivory tower disconnected from the real world.Oh My
Lord!!
The writer ''Dr Arthur Waldron is the Lauder Professor of
International Relations in the Department of History at the
University of Pennsylvania. He is also the Vice President of
International Assessment and Strategy Center.''
2.How
much is ''26.11 per thousand''?
The so called professor dunt bother to make clear if he refer to(A)
Singapore
Citizens alone or (B)including citizens and PR(SG calls Resident
Population)?
Date
2007
Total Population----('000)--....Singapore Residents,('000)(citizen
and PR)
4,680.6........................................3,675.1
Lets assume there are 400,000 of
PR.
So SG citizens will be 3.275 million .
If the learned Professor is correct,Sg emigration will be
3.275 million x 26.11/1000=85,500 persons pa.
3.I remember there are some 10,000 apply for Oz emigration
visa and few thousand for US visa a year.
So the total shall not be more than 30,000.
4.The intention of writer is the concern
I think the writer just wants to pour oil to the growing
hate to FT.He mentioned
''Instead of permitting immigration from Malaysia and
Indonesia,''
Has the professor know how many scholars from Malaysia and
Indonesia
and other ASEAN countries study in SG and work here?
How many Indians stay here and convert to SG citizens?
PRC is just a portion.
5.How can I trust him if he cant make a figure
credible
Arthur Waldron is the Lauder Professor of International
Relations in the Department of History at the University of
Pennsylvania. His specialties are the history of China and Eurasia,
and the history of war and violence....been a visiting fellow at the Institute for
Southeast Asian Studies in Singapore.
Ai Ya.He has stayed in here and dunt know anything here!!
