New citizen and PR figures in last 10 years

Or excluded some, just like they exclude car price from the CPI?

How many times did we witnessed, saw on TV and read the MSM's, these so-called leaders gives speeches uttering words that makes no sense? Yet after the speech, everyone stood up and gave a standing ovation, and later reflect what he actually said?

Many a time, they speak out some numbers and statistics which are totally different from the reality. Many information were left out, a good example when they were talking about employment and lumping citizens together with PR's when convenient and taking out the PR component when it suits them.

We need more good opposition members to question all anomalies.

we cant stop them from talking anything or giving out any crap statistics cos oso cannot verify.just dont believe in anything they say will do.......

This is a problem of one party politics, eventually they own everything including the statistics, and say anything they want.

If we assume that the birth rate is at 40,000 per year (high side?), 10 years means 400k.

I found it quite funny when URA release data on housing price increase over the last few years (every quarter). Each quarter, there is about 3% increase.

Over the last 2.5yrs (10 quarters), if each quarter saw an average of 3% increase, that is 30% increase overall. But if we look at property prices in the last 2.5yrs, was it really 30%? MBT didn't do his job to ensure affordable housing for the mass is maintained. Good riddance.

Last time they said vehicle growth is at some percentage per year, but we saw vehicle population nearly doubling over the last 10yrs. Raymond Lim was sleeping on his job or what? Good riddance.

No offence bro. Dun sounds good to label them as "ants". I will feel sianz if they call me "ants" if I work in their country and contribute to their economy.

While I agree that there are a lot more foreigners in our small country these days. But I think it is not entirely their fault. It is the one who make the policies and those who implement the policies. Somehow, I feel that the control measures are not "tight" enough.

2cents.

MOM should re-look into their certification.

How many are using their "OWN" certification to come in to work or apply as PR and citizen.

If they really did that, they will realize how many "BUY" certification.
