The Prime Minister's message on immigration also struck a chord
with many Singaporeans.
They said that new immigrants add diversity.
And for those who have just arrived on our shores, they said that
Singapore is a most welcoming home away from home.
"I'm here for more than 15 years now. For the local culture, I am
used to it, I like the Singapore style," said one immigrant turned
citizen.
"It means that you are all inclusive, that you welcome other people
and not so protective," said another immigrant.
"People are very forthcoming, so that's a good sign that people are
welcoming newcomers here," said a third.
"........Given a chance, definitely, I feel it's a good place to
settle down," said a fourth.
CNA certainly did not interview
anyone who had contributed in this SgForums, and on the following
topics:-
"More PRC Related
Ills in Singapore - GOV Pls Open Yr Eyes"
Should we
differentiate Singaporeans from aliens more?
I am thankful to
our government
FTs - Stop Giving
Them.......

Singaporeans also welcomed the idea of plugging into a new digital
age, though some had reservations.
"It would definitely make information more readily available to
more people," said one Singaporean.
"I think it's superb for our productivity, and the people get
connected," said another.
But a third Singaporean said: "If it's viable, why aren't the
schools already into it in the first place?"
Whatever their views, Singaporeans took Mr Lee's message to
heart.
Although the Prime Minister spoke on wide-ranging topics, it seemed
that the local issues mattered most. - CNA/ir Surprise....... surprise. We should be surprise
that from a population of 4.6 million - no one will ask questions concerning their
future - especially when Singaporeans will see an uncertain future
with new job conditions based on short term contract
employment"
