FEWER applications for Singapore permanent residency (PR) will be approved this year, said Deputy Prime Minister Wong Kan Seng in Parliament yesterday.

In his response to a question by Nominated MP Paulin Tay Straughan on the number of PR applications in 2009 and this year, Mr Wong said the number "will be noticeably less than that in 2009".


He added that 132,200 applications were received by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority last year.

Of these, 115,900 applications were processed. Only 51 per cent - or 59,500 - were successful.

Most of these were from professionals who qualified under the Professional, Technical and Skilled Workers Scheme, said Mr Wong, who is also the Minister for Home Affairs.

This scheme requires potential PRs to work in Singapore under an Employment Pass. It assesses their tertiary and professional qualifications.

Others who were granted PR were their dependants or dependants of Singapore citizens.

He said: "We will continue to be stringent in our requirements for PR. PR will be granted to those of suitable quality, (who) are able to contribute to Singapore and integrate well into our society."

Mr Wong also noted the worries of Singaporeans, which he said can be heard "every day" through the news, dialogue sessions and at the grassroots level.

He added that the ** would "ensure that the number of PRs is not going to be significantly large and overwhelm the Singapore citizen population".

Still, Mr Wong emphasised the need to welcome immigrants in order to tackle Singapore's low birth rate.

"Unless there is a significant shift in attitudes towards marriage and parenthood, and we see improved birth rates, we will continue to need immigrants for Singapore to remain a vibrant and competitive economy," he said.

HDB价格会下降50%以上，你就慢慢等吧！

snowangle

会稳在现在这个价位，最多跌个10%左右，不太可能会跌50%以上。
估价谁做的，还不是ZF想怎样就怎样。如果现在跌50%，那HDB的新房BTO还有人买吗，HDB会做亏本的事吗？
换位思考，如果你是新公民，唯一的一个大笔资产就是HDB。还准备以后退休了大屋换小屋**养老，那现在突然说你的HDB会跌价50%，你会怎么办？你的那一票还要不要投给ZF？

ＺＦ是想控制房价不再往上飙，不是想让房价大跌．

标题党，不用认真

我注意到马宝山在国会提到有的私宅业主觉得不公平时，大概说了这么句话“at this point of time, 你们就不要去跟人抢买组屋了”

"at this point of time" 灰常耐人寻味。。。

请大家注意，现在已经不提“组屋价格涨，是国民分享国家经济发展的成果了”！！！取代的是 ‘泡沫论’‘， 已在很多场合出现。
