Fewer PRC nationals than reported

Fewer PRC nationals than reported

THE Special Report, 'Young dragons' (Nov 22) gave some gross overestimates of the number of PRC nationals in Singapore.
Our records show that the total number of persons from all Asian countries (excluding South-east Asia) who are in Singapore is 852,000. This includes China, India, Bangladesh and 30 other countries. Hence the number of PRC nationals is obviously only a fraction of that, and not 'close to one million' as cited in the report.

Likewise, the number of nationals from these same countries who have acquired permanent residence or Singapore citizenship over the past 20 years is 239,000. Again, only a fraction would have been PRC nationals, and not 'between 300,000 and 400,000', as estimated by the Tian Fu Club.

So Ong-Kong Yong Sin (Mrs), exactly HOW MANY is this "a fraction"?

Talk cock. Until you show us the records, you have no credibility. Never trust politicians and judges who claim they can read mind when the scientific community has not achieved that yet. More like PAP dogs hallucinating with paranoia, eating too much harmful state paid dinners.

Maybe it is very close to the figures quoted by the ST - otherwise, she would have given the real figure. Notice that she does not include those on student passes or the peidu mamas....
