1 million Foreigners

Opps! Been 2 weeks since i last blogged! lol. Too lazy and tired to blog as i have still got a lot of things to do at work. Oh man. Its always the same reason. Work and work. Well, although i have more off days, however, that does not equate to more free time. I still got to work at times on off days. Damn... Have been recalled back to office very often lately. haiz... Nonetheless, I have been given compensate off.

I wanted to blog about something. Our population! Yes, according to the statistic dept, Singapore's population is near to 5 million. That's really a lot for a small country with limited land space. Are we turning into HK no2? Though HK had a larger land mass than us, most land are occupied by mountain. Flat land only made up a small portion. Thus, more pple congregate on limited land space and tat's y we always see so many pple in HK.

Are we becoming like HK too? I think it will. Over the last decade, i think our population exploded like more than a million. Tat's scary. Bear in mind, its not because Singaporeans are giving birth to more babies but more foreigners coming in. They made up 20% of the population!!! So who are the largest group?

I think most of us can answer. The country that celebrated their 60th anniversary! PRC! Yep, we see more mainland chinese coming over to Singapore to work, study or watsoever. The entire island is really "infested" with mainlanders. Though I dun have any problem with them, deep down, i feel we are going to become a province of PRC soon. hahhaa.. Nanyang Province or SGSAR (Singapore Special Administrative Region)

From professionals to service staff to coffee shops hawkers to cleaners, most are PRC chinese. The government have been urging them to learn English. I realise most could not speak or understand simple English except for the professionals. I pity our minority races. Can they really communicate with them? Is it true that we only absorb more mainlanders because they love to come over?

People were speculating about if we will merge with our neighbours in the north. As more mainlanders migrate and stay here, are we going to fly the RED flag with five stars? hahaha.. Honestly, if we got more PRCs here, one day u might not be surprise that they will hang their flag out to celebrate National Day on 1 Oct. hahhaa.. So should we also give up our 9 Aug in exchange for 1 Oct National Day??? Haiz...

Can we absorb other nationalities other than our PRCs counterpart? I am concern if our population structure will undergo significant changes as a result of more mainlanders. Let's wait and see....
