I think Singaporeans are more familiar with the term "Xenophobia" than the word "Assimilate".
For all you know, they'd move the foreign workers barracks out shortly before the next GE. Or if not, then they will section serangoon garden into other GRCs to spread the damage. They're not so stupid to let the oppositions get the slightest advantage.
I won't be surprised, considering a lot of them may be higher qualified than some of us. Some of those Indian workers posses Masters in IT/ comp science/ electronics etc. They resort to doing odd jobs only because of over saturated job mkt in their motherlands.Perhaps these foreign workers will be offered citizenship before the next GE...600-1000 more votes for MIWs
Don't get me wrong. I was shocked by what the experts were advocating and hence I was trying to show how ridiculous they sounded.
I have said before: As thinking persons, we should be able to tell the difference between "assimilate", "integrate" and "accomodate".
* We should assimilate the PRs because they are supposed to be here permanently.
* We should integrate the expatriates because they are supposed to here for years.
* We should accomodate the guest workers because they are transient.

well, its only less than 3yrs till the next GE, last time, s-goon residents can smell sea breeze from marine parade, then now, they can smell durian from aljunied. lets see how they wanna slice the constituency again.Ya scare of the oppositions is one thing, but i think most important thing is the pple live there are rich pple, they scare they migrate out and they can't collect high taxes and bills from them liao. They want to make sure the majority rich pple are on their side so whenever they announce for price increase, they wont kp

SINGAPORE: The Ministry of National Development (MND) has decided to proceed with a dormitory development at the former school site at Serangoon Gardens for manufacturing and services workers.
The capacity will be capped at 600 for a start.
MND will consider increasing to a maximum of 1000 in future if there's a need and after further consultations.
It adds that various measures to address residents' concerns will be implemented. - CNA/vm

Good to hear that!!! Remember PAP scoared Aljunied GRC by a precarious margin. This is it!!!! it will be Singapore first GRC taken over by opposition soon. I can't wait for next election in 2 years time!
NSmen get confined in an ulu location in the middle of nowhere. Sungei Gedong anyone?
Foreign workers get to stay near Serangoon Gardens? Fair?
Housing our foreign talent in good living conditions is a progress towards a worldclass nation.
Serangoon can always be part of AMK or MP. No sweat.
