Twnll 1st Gear April 30, 2011 Share April 30, 2011 (edited) Mr LKY I am concerned about your statement we need 900,000 more foreign workers. At 5 million, our infrastructure is already crumbling from the sheer mass of people descending into Singapore within a scant 2 years. Housing the additional 2 million @ say an average of 4 persons per household would require an additional 500,000 homes. How many new HDB flats and condominiums have we added to the supply in the last two years? Its no wonder that we face an endless demand for housing, thereby pricing even basic HDB property above the means of an average Singaporean. How then for another new million of migrant workers? I beg you to seriously reconsider this decision. Unless you mean to house these people in ships offshore and only come inland to work and return to their ships thereafter, I wonder how it is possible our over burdened infrastraucture would be able to cope with the almost one million new immigrant workers. I hope you would rescind this statement and promise it will never happen in the next five years.

Out of every 10 friends, at least 2 or 3 gets retrenched., some even more than once i had been down that path twice... imagine you still got to pay off your instalment during that period... i think most of the people who brought their flat at a high price cannot afford to get retrench.

Twnll 1st Gear April 30, 2011 Author Share April 30, 2011 Can we be buy or lease an old aircraft carrier from US and use that as housing for FT? Heard they have complete facilities such as gym, hospital and convenience store. I believe one aircraft carrier can house at least 50,000 people. All we need is about 20 aircraft carriers for that 1 million new workers... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
