SINGAPORE: The press secretary to Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong has said that the figure mentioned by Mr Goh about Permanent Residents who will be asked to take up citizenship, was only for "illustrative purposes".

Mr Ho Tong Yen was replying to queries following Mr Goh's comments at a dialogue session at Marine Parade on Monday.

Mr Goh was reported as saying that the government might approach ten percent of PRs in Singapore to take up citizenship and if they did not do so, their PR status would not be renewed.

Mr Ho said that the Senior Minister was making a general observation to illustrate the point that the government would be managing the inflow of PRs and that some would be encouraged to become citizens.

The figure of ten percent which Mr Goh gave was "not a target", and it is also not the case that all PRs who turn down the offer of Singapore citizenship would not have their PR status renewed, said Mr Ho.

The government will continue to review and refine its policies to ensure that those who have PR status are an asset to Singapore's society and that those who are given citizenship are, in addition, assessed to be committed in their allegiance to Singapore, added Mr Ho.

Wooden, as usual talking cock through his mouth! This is one of the few times that the 154th has come in to correct Wooden's nonsense. This goes to show that Wooden was talking nonsense. IF the 10% was not a target then why mention it? So is there a target? If so what is it? And if not, why mention 10%?

And if PRs who refuse citizenship can continue staying here as PRs then what is the point of Wooden bringing up the matter at all?

This is startling comments coming from a former PM and current SM. Wooden! What the hell are you trying to say? Reading between the lines, you obviously know very little of what goes on and yet you like to open your mouth.

It's good that you have been put down so that others can see you much clearer.

Wooden Goh really talking cock! :oIo:

With 500,000 PRs you cannot get 10% volunteers to be Singapore Citizens you have to resort to forcing them to be PRs, it goes to show how miserably the govt has failed

he forgotten he is just a holy Goh,,,,, after opening his mouth, the Father and Son come down heavily on him, and cannot even speak for himself and must get Press Secretary,,,,,,,

or,,,,,,, "I have been misunderstood",,,,,,,

Woody getting more wooden by the day! If u want people to take u seriously and of course, all por lumpars do take u seriously because of the grand title SM and the prestige,power and wealth that comes with it, then u shouldn't be joking on an issue as serious and sensitive as PRS and citizenship. This is no laughing matter ok! Majulah! More good years!

"illustrative purposes". file under illustrate, together with the rest, '50 year' etc..

"more good years"
"Swiss standard of Living"

are alaso illustrative purpose, now you know how bankupt they are, they dare to insult SINgaporens to a cinder; and when they make a boo boo about PR...they quickly apologize...we are sold!!

Very suprise, the government is doing thing without target.

No wonder everywhere jam with ppl and vehicles.

Their only target is to increase the GDP! THis should be obvious to all. Everything else is secondary to them even if it means increased unemployment, decreased salaries, over burdened transportation, health and social infrastructures to the common folk.

They are immune to these problems faced by the common man.

It is time to vote them out all at one go!

He's just joking !

now I worry

Target to increase GDP = increase in salary.

Increase ppl = increase GDP? China is good example.

Now we can say we want to burn Wood and then say we are actually joking only

Go Joke Donk?

Don't underestimate him. It was him who invented super GRCs, gerrymandering from Braddell Heights to Marine Parade, HDB racial quotas, foreign talent population schemes with liberal immigration and multi million-dollar ministerial salaries. Did such things happen under LKY as PM? LKY harsh as he was then still a Singaporean at heart and in policy matters.

However, by the time GCT handed over the premiership to LHL, the affair of state is like mounting on foreign tigers' back; dismount and risk being eaten alive. Just got to keep on riding these tigers, hopefully in control.

Goh Goh Goh, Time for you to go!

Fucking spineless wooden block.

Mr Goh, Where's yr spine??

This gonna cost you bastards votes!
