Approval of application of PR is based on the applicant's qualifications, expertise, local employment and individual

merit. New applicants would be assessed on talents, skills and experience and not just on academic qualifications.

Another factor to consider whether the immigrant's family members can also contribute to Singapore's growth

and how well the immigrant and his family can fit into Singapore society. Foreign students on scholarship might

be persuaded to get their families to settle in Singapore. The target group of new immigrants will be mainly

younger people.

if the pap has nothing to hide... why adjust the 1980s decade data ????

B. Information on Migratory Movements

Statistics on immigration and emigration are published only rarely. Information on net migration can, however, be deduced from data on population growth and natural increase which are published annually. Time series data on the Singapore population have to be read carefully as a change in the reporting convention was made after the 1990 Census. Except for 1990, when the figures on both the resident and total population were made available publicly, subsequent estimates were published only for the resident population. Figures for the 1980s decade were also adjusted subsequently to show only the resident population whereas those prior to 1980 remained for the total population.
