PAP twist the reality and make Singaporeans look bad....

This is the sequence of events. How an irresponsible govt can botch policy and then blame the people who suffer from it.

1. 1990s Singaporeans live in harmony and foreigners were welcome - no issue. Numbers were okay and many were indeed skilled. 

2. The PAP started importing people in large numbers at all skills levels to satisfy businesses who always complain cannot get workers. This is a perpetual complain even after importing 1M foreign workers, today the same companies are still complaining cannot get enough workers. Why? Because the pay and benefits are only good enough to attract workers from 3rd world countries. It is mind boggling why govt cede to the demands of business just to keep GDP growing. 

3. As the numbers became larger and larger, no corresponding increase in public transport service, housing and medical care service took place. In fact the number of beds in our public hospital declined. This lead to suffering among Singaporeans as housing prices shoot up, medical cost shoot up and public transport become packed like no body's business.

4. People NATURALLY BECAME ANGRY.

5. A small minority begin to take issue with certain behavior of foreigners in Singapore. They voice their anger and fury. This type of people exists in ALL COUNTRIES... In Hong Kong these groups put out a full page ad calling mainland Chinese "locusts"...Singaporeans' response is mild even the small angry minority is mild ..99% of the people opposing the policy are primarily concerned with the large numbers and negative impact on our social compact, identity and nationhood.

6. Politicians instead of solving problems use this to negative behavior of a very small negligible to scold Singaporeans for being hostile to foreigners - XENOPHOBIC and Anti-Foreigners. 

7. Now any opposition to the foreign influx policy can be label as xenophobic..."not welcoming foreigners", not big -hearted, small minded, spoiling Singapore's international reputation.

8. In you read any international report or article it is always very balanced and explains the frustration as the result of over-import of foreigners. Yet the PAP twisted it around to say Singaporeans spoil the international reputation of Singapore.

If the so-called National Conversation is to start with this tone ...what kind of a conversation is it? It is so loaded with insinuations that those who oppose the PAP policies are out to spoil Singapore's reputation, small minded people and unkind to foreigners. This is PAP way of conversing with the people. No wonder people don't like to talk to the PAP. ...they just make us all feel so sick.
