Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew speaking to an audience of about 500 students, alumni and invited guests at a National University of Singapore Society (NUSS) lecture on the topic of "Singapore and Singaporeans — Quarter Century From Now"...
..that
Singapore’s future might have a different ethnic and demographic composition as many immigrants become new citizens and permanent residents.
Mr Lee said: "We are caught in a bind — we’ve got to decide this is our country, our society and we must remain the majority. Yes, we will take immigrants; yes, we will take talented people, but we must be the majority.
"
Otherwise, they will change us if they are the majority. So I think 25 years from now, Singapore will be more cosmopolitan because we’ve got many people from China, India, Malaysia and from the region.
so called "foreign talent" is here to stay, no matter how was the economy doing..how you may do not like it..cheers
