SINGAPORE: President S R Nathan has reiterated the importance of accepting new arrivals and foreign workers, and appreciating the contributions they bring.
He was asked for his views on the current debate over policies on foreign workers being raised by various political parties.
He was speaking at an Indian community event organised by Narpani and SINDA.
President Nathan said: "New arrivals and foreign workers may cause discomfort because of our unfamiliarity with their diverse accents and habits, but we must not forget how they have made our lives better.
"We must appreciate the contributions of these foreigners and new citizens, and welcome them into our midst, as our ancestors were welcomed in days gone by."
