MM Lee says immigration is more viable, long-term solution



TOKYO: Singapore's Minister Mentor, Lee Kuan Yew, said India and China are the only countries in Asia that will not need to depend on exports to the US.

He also debunked views that the rest of Asia could have a consumer-led economy.

Mr Lee was speaking at the Nikkei Conference - an annual meeting in Tokyo attended by Asian leaders and academics.

"Asia Confronting Challenges, Pursuit of New Frontiers" is the theme of this year's Nikkei Conference.

Mr Lee is a regular guest at the forum, and on Friday, he gave his take on what some see as "common sense advice" on how to stimulate demand and boost the economy.

Monetary authorities and economists called for each economy to stimulate domestic demand. But many Asian countries are dependant on exports to the US and when the US economy weakens, many Asian economies do too. However, Mr Lee said that there are exceptions.

He said: "One (exception) is China, another is India. Both have huge domestic populations. They need a lot of infrastructure - in China, particularly in western provinces, and in India, throughout the country.

"Their need for consumer durables, refrigerators, microwave ovens, air conditioners is enormous."

He said infrastructure development can boost China's economy by eight per cent and improve India's economy by six per cent.

In the first three months of this year, Japan - the world's second largest economy - recorded its worst ever annualised GDP fall. The country also faces a fast aging population and declining birthrate - similar to the problems faced by Singapore.

Mr Lee said: "Unless you change man's attitudes, this declining birthrate will be a disaster for Japan and for Singapore. And it is happening all over Europe. So they are getting migrants from North Africa, Turkey, black Africa, Muslims, pagans, all sorts of new entrants.

"Japan doesn't want these immigrants. It is part of the culture of the country. In Singapore, if we have not taken immigrants, the economy would have become slothful."

Japan has only recently begun to hire foreign workers from Indonesia and the Philippines for jobs such as nurses and day-care workers. But Mr Lee said this will not solve the problem, and believes that immigration is a more viable, long-term solution.

Old Lee wants to overcrowd the island and make this island into a sex trade hub, gambling hub and disease mixing pot. The maind reason people don't want to give birth is because of stress and overcrowding, adding more emmigrants will cause more overcrowding and drop in healthcare, transport and education standard. I think a better solution should be buying a few more Riau Islands for development, but there is also sovereign problems. Many people I know emigrate because of high stress and small pigeon pigeon holes here and they prefer to stay in bungalows or quiet countryside which Singapore lacks.

I have to ask this question again.... Who the fuck he think he is?? He had worked for the Japanese military regime during Japanese Occupation era isn't it? He is a traitor isn't it?? He has no moral authority in dealing politics in Spore once he had revealed he worked for the Japanese Military Regime during WW2. Simple as that. Game over. SO PLEASE FUCK OFF FROM THE POLITICAL ARENA.

no no... the problem is not what we can or cannot do. the first step is our attitude. most people i talk to, THEY DON'T CARE!!! THEY DONT CARE ABOUT LEE KUAN YEW AS TRAITOR!!! MOST OF THEM EVEN WANNA FIND EXCUSE FOR THE OLD FART!

NOW, IF WE KEEP FINDING EXCUSES FOR LEE KUAN YEW BETRAYING THE PEOPLE OF THIS ISLAND DURING JAPANESE OCCUPATION, THEN WE LOSE!!! NO NEED TO TAKE ANY ACTION! OUR MIND HAD ACCEPTED LEE KUAN YEW THIS TRAITOR AND THEREFORE WE LOSE! DON'T EVEN NEED TO TOUCH ON GRC AND WAT NOT!

The very first step, is in our mind and attitude. our values.

Now, do we condone lee kuan yew working for the japanese military regime? Yes or no? I tell u, most sporeans don't care about this issue! And thats fucking moronic! Because it does matter! Especially that person is our political leader!

Letting a traitor to be leader of the country, thats like letting a ex-convicted paedophile to be the principal of a nursery school, kindergarten!!!!

Not true bro..

during that time in WWII is it unthinkable to be associated with Japs let alone work for them.

But they are not ashamed about it...claiming that their duties as translator.

It is about time he produces some evidence to substantiate his beliefs that immigration results in economic growth.

Intuitively, it may sound logical but intuitions are intuitions, and we should ask for convincing stats to show his policy worked.

With the foreign worker/talent policy, the money is being taken away from the Singaporean worker to be put into the pockets of the FW. The FW sends the money back to India/Bangladesh/China by Western Union instead of spending it here. The employers in the domestic economy use the savings to hire more FWs. Those employers in the export-oriented sectors set up factories in China,India, and Vietnam, so do not hire locals anyway and so render the double whammy to the Singaporean workers.

It is about time economic growth is tuned to benefit our citizens,instead of making citizens into economic digits to fuel economic growth to fulfil his vainglories and leave his footprint in history by building edifices based on economic numbers, without the soul.
