Please call them new Singaporeans, not the rude title of new immigrants!

"First, we need to make sure that they are called new Singaporeans rather than new migrants. They are not even new migrants - they are an old hand at migrating, and want a new life. They want to settle down and to make Singapore a new home"

-- Seah Kian Peng, Marine Parade GRC MP

With 20,000 migrants becoming new citizens each year, Mr Seah also suggested rewarding such parents with some form of baby bonus when they have a new Singapore baby.
