[Tloslm]

Basically it means going to 10 mill eventually

 

[Medicated Oil]

[LoaGong12]

Never explain what is this national need. I don't see any need other than receive more taxes from more citizens

[boredom2012]

Pap needs lah. Need them to mill gdp and voters

 

[LoaGong12]

Those only came here to work give them work permit can liao.

the NS how ?

 

[Mr.Chibaboom]

Social needs like what? Like more massage parlour in the neighbourhood and more cheekons in geylang that kind of social needs ah

 

[Sen Sen]

the NS how ?

No worries, new citizens or existing PRs can handle.

 

[MiG123]

National need = population ponzi to drive up asset costs and make sinkie landlords happy = guaranteed PAP landslide in next erection

 

[larking8]

Those who complain about foreigners coming in better keep quiet.. .sinkies voted for it.. sinkies welcome foreigners will open arms and legs.. so stop complaining

Our next National Needs and not policy shift is a change of government who care about citizens needs! Not government needs everytime
Everything is considered as government needs nowadays, raising GST in 2 consecutive years

Basically a merry go round smoke bomb.

"National needs" is a very nebulous concept that can be used to justify basically anything. They could jump to 100k next year and it would still be handwaved away with "national needs". They could override their own CMIO model by having a sudden 5% increase in one racial group and still handwave it away with "national needs".

By extension, this means "measured pace" is meaningless because there is no consistency to "national needs", the latter is subject to large variations within short periods of time. And by further extension, it means "national policy" is meaningless as well and that there really isn't one to begin with vis a vis this matter for the same reason - "national needs" has large fluctuations.

 

[ninjaghost]

i don kw, recently many many related to...how much is enough?

 

[Lifetime warranty]

Ok lah.. nothing wrong.. like my company is a multi nation.. don't know how much have become pr or citizen... But I work in project.. those work around me.. mostly is foreigners.. hard to see pure sinkies..

 

[tExtra]

Who defines national needs?

 

[Asy1um]

Need them to take job from local citizen, nothing new

 

[A Better Tomorrow]

From Work pass to PR, some just want to buy BTO by leveraging their children citizenship upon sole custody.

Some clowns did the above trick and the PR ex-wife got her PR, and subsequently citizenship, filed the divorce and bought her own BTO.

Yes, near the ex-hubby house, a Singaporean.

Then the ex-wife used the BTO for rental income and also house her own relative or direct family to hire them in her business. Got work permit anot. customers dont check.

 

[Visor9999]

Are family offices also national needs

 

[EXIDBeast]

How many of these new pr and citizen can serve ns with immediate notice?
