While I may not have chosen polite, politically correct terms, all I'm doing is stating a fact.
When the stop at 2 policy was announced, the Muslims were 3 times more productive than the Chinese. LKY got his statisticians to do do a few sums and the answer was that if nothing was done, the muslim population would surpass the non muslim population within 30 years. We all know what the consequences of that would have been.
He therefore targeted the muslims indirectly by imposing hefty financial penalties for having a 3rd child. He figured that since the Muslims formed the majority of the poor at the time, they'd back off and produce less.
However, as we all know, religion ranks higher than $$$ and the muslims continued with their merry ways.
Ultimately, the mass importation of non muslims was the only workable solution and it has kept the % of the muslim population static at around 14%.
However, there is a limit as to how much more Singapore can import. It is not LKY's problem anymore. The next generation will have to figure out what needs to be done.
If they throw the book at me, I would happily go to trial as I have all the figures that prove my point. Ask yourself how many Muslims have been given PR and citizenship since 1980. The answer says it all. I'm also sure LKY would be more than willing to come to my defense.
