With the amount of flak you are
getting, it is about time that you should be given a consolation -
at least for your pathetic but dubious effort to be accurate.
Was it YOUR writing
that the ''no of Singapore
residents is 4.483m'', or did you read in a twisted manner
of what I had written that the ''entire 4,483,000
residents in Singapore'' ?
As I have mentioned before, be less anxious to prove me wrong, and
with some clear level headed thinking , perhaps you may just
deserve a consolation win awarded by me.
2) Of course everbody in Singapore will be able to benefits from
the IR projects. If you have a job at the IR, you will spend money
outside the IR, and when you spend money outside the IR, you create
job outside the IR. And furthermore, IR will also help to attract
more tourists to Singapore and they will ofcourse spend more time
outside the IR and hence contribute to revenue to other sector of
the economy.
Yes, of course, how silly, you
mean the catalytic
effect of expenditures from someone pushing more
expenditures by others, and the cycle continues.
How much of an ecnomist are you to believe that such a simplistic
approach can occur in an economy that is totally regulated by the
heavy hand of the Singapore Government controlling SINGAPORE Inc
?
During each of the last three economic downturn in 1987, 1997 and
2002, how effective was the economic ''pump-priming'' that the
Singapore Government had implemented to boost the economy ?
Even the IMF had studied the unexpected negative
and failed catalytic effect of
its funding programs, how confident are you of
the propaganda that you have been fed with ?
3) "Do you not know that for every single foreign
talent employed, he will very likely bring in two or three more to
work with him"
Please quantify the above statement. If what you say is true, the
population of FT in Singapore will multiply by 3 times every year.
Can this be true? or you are just speculating again?
You should try to work with the
figures and exercise your grey matters, so that it will grow.
Constant 'spoon Feeding'
is not good for your mental health, as it will retard growth, and
worsen a pathically childlike mentality.
Can you digest the numbers provided by the Singapore
Department of Statistics ? Try chewing on this:
According to the Statistics Department they explained that
Total
Population include Singapore Residents and
Foreigners; while Singapore Residents
include only Citizens and PRs.
Year .. Total Pop .... Foreigners ... FT Nos Add ... % Change
1999 .. 3,958,700 .... 729,000 ...
2000 .. 4,027,900 .... 754,500 ... 25,500
2001 .. 4,138,000 .... 812,100 ... 57,600 ... 125.88%
2002 .. 4,176,000 .... 793,100 ... (19,000) ... (132.99%) (SARS effect)
2003 .. 4,186,100 .... 748,800 ... (45,100)
2004 .. 4,238,300 .... 753,400 ... 5,400
2005 .. 4,341,800 .... 797,900 ... 44,500 ... 724.07%
2006 .. 4,483,900 .... 875,400 ... 77,500 ... 74.16%
Year .. SGP Residents ... New Additions ... % Change
1999 .. 3,229,700
2000 .. 3,273,400 ... 43,700
2001 .. 3,325,900 ... 52,500 ... 20.14%
2002 .. 3,382,900 ... 57,000 ... 8.57%
2003 .. 3,438,100 ... 55,200 ... (
3.16%)
2004 .. 3,484,900 ... 46,800 ... (15.22%)
2005 .. 3,543,900 ... 59,000 ... 26.07%
2006 .. 3,608,500 ... 64,600 ... 9.49%
With the natural birth rate in
Singapore being so low, the Year-on-Year percentage increases of
both the Foreigners and PR's are shocking.
