The only reason why they had to bring in non muslim foreigners is because while the 80% of the population stopped at 2, the Malays carried on with their merry ways. Had the trend continued, Muslims would outnumber the non muslims today. It doesn't take a mathematician to work this out. Anyone can do it on a hand held calculator.
Had LKY succeeded in getting all the ethnic groups to operate at replacement levels and no higher, the FT policy could have been implemented in a much more selective manner.
Your statements are quite baseless if not oxymoronic .Because it was common for us Chinese to have large families.A family of 5 to 10 was the norm among Chinese families in the 50s.The very reason why some countries banned importation of Chinese women into their countries long ago.Malays on the other hand adhered to their religion .Any child is god's gift is their belief.Therefore they don't go out of their way for birth control.
The point being ,neither the Chinese nor the Malays out-breed each other for political reasons.Whereas you and LKY are tainting it with politics.Now,let's get to the bottom your calculator,your assertions that'
LKY succeeded in getting all the ethnic groups to operate at replacement levels and no higher' is absolutely false.If we left Singapore at the mercy of it's natural progression say with the assumption whatever the % of racial mix maybe .....The total number of current population today will not be the same.The population today will be far less.There are solid proves as per the statistics of the World Bank.
Here's the proof----http://www.google.com.sg/publicdata/explore?ds=d5bncppjof8f9_&met_y=sp_pop_totl&idim=country:SGP&dl=en&hl=en&q=singapore+population
Look at the Singapore's population graph as provided by the world bank.From 1960 to 1970 & from 1970 to 1980.--where PAP FT policy was non existence...the population growth was constant....Only from 1980 to 2010 it shoots up towards the sky.
Due of course to the wanton importation of foreigners.
Now,lets compare this with the very cite you provided......
http://toolserver.org/~al/visualize...+population&columns=all&width=1000&height=500
1970;-Chinese 77%--Malays 14.8%
1980;_Chinese 78.3%---Malays 14.4%
1990..Chinese 77.7%----Malays 14.1%
2000;Chinese 76.8%-----Malays 13.9%
2010 Chinese 74.1%......Malays 13.4%
You are blatantly lying Sam.Because the Malays were declining percentage wise in the last 40 years
CONSITENTLY .
What is even more interesting is that the Chinese were increasing percentage wise during 1970 1990---which does not support your or LKY policy to flood Singapore with foreigners to balance the racial thingy.
Either you blindly regurgitating LKY mantra....or you are hoping nobody will see through your bluff.
Because now you are caught with your own 'proof' so as to speak.
