If we reach the proportion of Singaporean just being 55% of the whole population, this will be a very dangerous threat to our national security. This just like we only own 55% share of a company. It just need to take 6% of us to swing to the other party and we will lose the ownership of the company. Same for our country, we will be threatened by the foreigners when this day happen to our country and we are no longer the masters of our homeland. What is use of having high economic growth and strong military defence? In chinese words, this is bu gong zhi puo, meaning loss without being attacked.
This is an extract from Mr Low Thia Khiang as printed in TODAY:
"During the early days of independence, there was a company that came to Singapore to invest and wanted to put their tank on Singapore soil and threatened that, if it could not, then it would withdraw. (Then-DPM) Dr Goh Keng Swee said, 'Stand firm on that'. I think we need PAP leaders to stand firm to the MNCs and say, 'Look, this is our way.'"
The reply from Mr S Iswaran is amusing to me, saying we need to be more cautious. During that difficult times, we willing to stand firm to protect our rights, why are we now, in a much better position, legs become so soft? The calibre of our PAP leaders has dropped so much since the retirement of the PAP pioneers.
I also like to take this opportunity to remember our late President Ong Teng Cheong, who passed away today, 11 years ago. He is among the last batch of high calibre minister who is on our side. if not for him to push for building MRT, our transport will be in a much worse position.
