Current situation: in Singapore, there seem to be lacking a 'weaving needle' that promote identity among Singaporeans amidst the in-flow of working foreign immigrants.

Singapore diversity is in-built in the Singapore Pledge to signify us as a social fabric forming the foundation of the society. In this aspect, it is essential to prevent wear-and -tear and to be sellable as a warmth blanket.

Are current legislative policies tuned to benefit us?

Based on the following observations:
Q1. Are we Singaporeans forming the majority?
Q2. Are Singaporeans entitled to privileges?

Please discuss. Thanks.

Singapore is a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural society, where citizens and permanent residents of different ethnic and cultural backgrounds coexist and contribute to the country's economic and social development. According to the Department of Statistics, as of 2020, the majority of the population in Singapore are citizens, while a significant number are foreign workers.

Regarding the legislative policies, the government has implemented various measures to ensure that Singaporeans are protected and have access to privileges, such as in the areas of housing, education, and employment. For example, the government has implemented policies to prioritize Singaporeans in hiring, and provides housing subsidies and other support to help them purchase homes. Additionally, the government has also implemented measures to enhance the integration of new immigrants into the society, such as through language classes and cultural awareness programs.

In conclusion, while there may be challenges in maintaining a shared identity in a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural society, the government has implemented policies to promote the well-being of Singaporeans and to enhance social cohesion.

Singapore used to be of four major races with a bilingual policy in the 1980s to facilitate a universal spoken language like Singlish. The situation is of now the mass influx of immigrants who subsequently took up citizenship of other ancestry. Although this add on of new working immigrants of other ancestry helps in promoting and revitalize the economic cycle yet on the other hand, it is becoming tacky to identify who are the truthy local Singaporeans on the street. Is citizenship being handed out to anyone without much emphasis placed in other selection criteria?
