Singapore is a "Migrant Country"?
Is this "Real History"? Nope. This is pure propaganda and self serving political narrative created by PAP to justify its current crazy aggressive immigration policy!
I have live through this part of history.
It was exceptionally difficult to get PRs in the 1970s and 1980s. It was only when GCT became the PM, then he opened the floodgates.
Foreign workers or labour as "non residents" were rare. Only the shipyard and construction sectors were employing them. It was not until 1980 that we started to increase the number of foreign labour aggressively.
These are the HARD TRUTH. For a young small nation like Singapore, we wanted to build and strengthen our National Identity and Core Values. Our pioneer leaders from PAP understood this very well and that is why Hon Sui Sen, Dr Goh Kheng Swee and Lee Kuang Yew resisted over reliance on foreign labour right up to 1989.
So don't just read propaganda. Study the Real Facts.
