Singaporeans' concern over immigration issues is understandable but they must avoid developing irrational fears toward new immigrants, Minister in the Prime Minister's Office Lim Hwee Hua said.
She said Singaporeans ought to prepare for, rather than resist, an increased willingness among people worldwide to travel and relocate.
-- Lim Hwee Hua, Second Minister for Transport
It is easy for her to say that when her job is not threatened by cheaper (and not necessary better) foreign professionals, her kids don't have to compete with other foreigners' kids just to get into schools, she doesn't have to try to out-bid the foreigners in HDB resale flats and she doesn't have to take the public transport with whole lot of other foreigners.
