SINGAPORE accepts only skilled and educated immigrants "who increase the average level of competence of Singaporeans", Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew said yesterday.
"Once they become citizens, they must be treated as equally as native-born Singaporeans, or our society will be fractured," Mr Lee warned.
YOU CREATED THIS PROBLEM YOU SOLVE IT, YOU ARE THE GOVERMENT, YOU SERVE THE PEOPLE NOT THE OTHER WAY ROUND. ALSO YOU GUYS ARE PAID MILLIONS.

But their struggle with English means that "they cannot compete against Singaporeans", he said, addressing these complaints yesterday at a National Day dinner in Tanjong Pagar.
Yet they can be integrated because most of them come from familiar countries such as Malaysia, China and India, he said.
Their children will grow up as Singaporeans, learn English and compete with children of existing citizens for university places and scholarships.
But the Government will raise the number of bursaries and scholarships, and that of places in top schools, for existing citizens' children.
"So they will not be disadvantaged in getting admission to polys or universities," he said.
"Without the immigrants, Singapore will decline."
WITH THEM OUR PRODUCTIVITY WENT DONE.
The Government has protected citizens by ensuring that they enjoy more privileges than permanent residents in areas like applying for HDB flats, the size of hospital and school fees, and in receiving Budget surpluses.....................
