The only exception was 2003 (maybe that was not a good year for chinese astrology). So IPS and LKY are lying that fertility rate is falling fast and we desperately need to make up the shortfall, if not "by 2025 our population will stagnate". By the way, what is so bad about stagnating? By then, our local population at the current growth rate of 40k to 60k pa. would likely exceed 5m (today local population is already 3.8m). Why no academics wrote in to point out these lies, I have no clue, all spineless intellectuals, another sillipore problem.<br /><br />b) the FT floodgate opened WIDE in 2008 recession, 300k was "admitted" vs average of 100k since 2000. The objective was clear - all our dear million-dollar senior civil servants were manipulating GDP and supporting high house prices to justify what Ngiam Tong Dow called "deeply flawed" GDP bonus system.<br /><br />See links: <br />http://www.singstat.gov.sg/stats/themes/people/hist/popn.html<br /><br />http://angyongguanpage.blogspot.com/p/ngiam-tong-dow-wants-government-to-be.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917465355806677421.post-84565705004609702872011-09-25T08:01:08.566-07:002011-09-25T08:01:08.566-07:00More people = higher property prices ?More people = higher property prices ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917465355806677421.post-57268657495446359842011-09-24T18:19:33.414-07:002011-09-24T18:19:33.414-07:00"And property market does not correct even in..."And property market does not correct even in today which is already 4 years later." Mah Bow Tan is now sucking thumb and shaking leg. Four years from now may still be the same, then Khaw Boon Wan will be shaking leg and sucking thumb but what about Lee Hsien Loong?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
