Lee Kuan Yew in his 1989 NDP address about immigration

Late Lee Kuan Yew shares what a Singaporean Cambridge scholar told him, "Explain to Singaporeans that the newcomers are not getting a free ride on what Singapore citizens have built up all these years."

    1989 i was in secondary school ! you can see the style of his speech , although reading from script he put in effort to reiterate what it means in his own words clearly , understandable by all and humorous. This is something we don't get see nowadays , i don't know perhaps i did not pay much attention bcoz seems like everyone is reading only

    Its we whom built Singapore by Singaporean. Not by the new immigrants. Why are they getting more subsidies and privileges than locals?? So to lure them in? Increase the population, votes, GDP??Think, at what cost to Singaporeans!! Late MM Lee will not allow big influx from certain countries, because of national security is concerned. Hopefully current and future leaders of ours will take heed, before its too late. Once the floodgate has opened it is hard to undo....😂

    Yes! Alarming and frightening when the Malay students were offensively told "Singapore belongs to the Chinese!" Shocking, indeed! Majulah Singapura...

    You can make fun of Xi, but never poke at Lee. What we have and what we are, was dued to a extraordinary great leader. Whether you agree or not with his methods of Governance, have produced the needed results for our survival and prosperity. We are lucky to had this Man steered our ship.
