Not really, I think the PAP has just signed its own political suicide note.
Had they wanted to boost the population, they could have clandestinely done so without formally publishing any White Paper. In fact, extrapolating the current numbers, reaching 6.5 million in 10 years is a very achievable target.
They can't bring in and convert enough foreigners within the next 3 years to turn them into pro-PAP voters, and even if they really go all out to do so, they are going to risk antagonizing the moderate PAP voters. Already there are visible signs of dissent within the PAP ranks.
It is just a series of miscalculations and missteps from the PAP since GE2011.
In a strange way, maybe they are egtting Sinkies to "ratify" rather than endorse their policy.
I seriously think that they might have run into a hitch somwehere as regards spending on impromvements to infrastructure such that they need to give fresh "projections"......
i really dont know anything because nobody says or tells us anything... they just do and then inform you later... aka Nim Peh Suka style
