6.9mil population in 2030 / PM Lee admits govt lacked foresight

Re: 6.9mil population in 2030 / PM Lee admits govt lacked foresight

I happened to watch CNA last night... there is a new presenter (Teymoor Nabili) sprouting the more is good mantra as well. I was watching with my Hubstation and kept rewinding to catch what he said exactly. Really full of BS...

He ended his "casual inquiry" (his own word) into the effect of immigration on economic performance by saying that Qatar has a a population that is made up of 75% foreigners and is one of the most peaceful country in a troubled region and that must stand for something... so is it about the economy (and hence compare SG with an oil country??) or the harmony of the society that he is talking about?? KNS...

And earlier he kind of mentioned it is a mixed bag and not really conclusive (whether to support more immigration to grow the economy), but towards the end, he said that there is "greater body of evidence" (his own words) to support new blood improves economy... All this is based on his "casual inquiry" into this topic since he has "a lot of experience as an immigrant" where he has been an expat in 6 countries (his own words)...

I wonder if he shares the same resources as the guys who wrote the whitepaper.

My friend said let the brainwashing begin... I say if you can be brainwashed with this incoherent "argument", then you deserve each other.

Of course not... he has been an "expat in 6 countries"... no need to serve NS one... foreign talent, very clever one you know. Money talks, even to someone who was from Al Jazeera.

Re: 6.9mil population in 2030 / PM Lee admits govt lacked foresight

It's good that Nabili brought up Qatar as example.

Qatar has a population of slightly over 1M with only 300K approximate of Qatari. Every Qatari man are given a house by the garmen when they get married and the house is about the size of a bungalow in Singapore with abt 10 rooms. A Qatari man is also allowed to have a few wives or if I remember correctly, no limitation.

Every Qatari is guaranteed a job in state offices and companies and have working hours like 9am to 3pm. Even if the Qatari is only a clerk, he or she is paid US$8k or more!

The only setbacks are that there is no such place like geylang in Qatar and u need a license just to purchase alcohol.

Compared to Singaporeans........

no no, he only referring to Qatar as a peaceful country with 75% foreigners... nothing to do with economy one. He can't possibly be comparing the economy between Singapore and Qatar. It is only his "casual inquiry" and not something "rigorous" one... don't doubt him okay? He very foreign and very talented one... expat in 6 countries leh, how many of us who served NS can say that? He must be damned sart one...
