10 million population – Govt dabbling in science fiction? (http://www.tremeritus.com/2014/08/03/10-million-population-govt-dabbling-in-science-fiction/)

Liu Thai Ker’s prognosis on the manpower needs of Singapore for the future ["Liu Thai Ker: SG should plan for 10 million population (http://www.tremeritus.com/2014/08/01/liu-thai-ker-sg-should-plan-for-10-million-population/)"] has raised not just eyebrows for our readers.
Many TRE readers have expressed their disbelief in hearing what Liu Thai Ker has proposed.
Most of them reflected their utter disbelief that this tiny island of ours would be capable of accommodating such a figure without breaking apart, even with land reclamation as one of PAP’s warped ideas.
Unbelievable indeed, as many TRE readers remarked:
OrdinaryMan:
They failed to see that their vision of 10mil population is not aligned with the majority of ordinary people. Why can’t they reinvent our country and the grow model with the resources we already have?
PS:
Don’t get ahead of yourself, current issues of inadequate transport facilities and medical facilities, overpriced housing and lack of quality work for the population have not been resolve
No Water , Drink Urine ??:
…with these warp-minded bureaucrats in office, Singapore is certainly going downhill…
my $8 heart bypass:
This present bunch of PAPIGS can’t even plan for the present population explosion, and you are talking about having 10 million here ???
Be Cause:
He says Singapore’s economy not as mature as Scandinavian countries but provides no data or reference. But Singapore has higher GDP/capita, more annual budget surplus than those countries, etc, etc. I don’t know what is his reference but for someone like him to just make a sweeping comment to dismiss Singapore’s economy as not mature is simply not sufficient to then justify that Singapore needs more immigration
5starmoon:
Liu Thai Ker 10 million population plan is simply incendiary! Another classic example of how disconnected PAP ministers, PAP supporters and senior civil servants are from the masses.
We only live once, do it right:
This will be the classic case of the selling out of a nation never before found in modern history. This will be the classic case of a transplant of a population, replacing the old with the new. This is due to the insatiable greed and the self-glorifying ego and arrogance of leaders devoid of consideration, feelings and humanity.
Others took Mr Liu’s suggestions with a pinch of salt, flavored with a hint of sarcasm:
Lewd thai girls:
So this is the clown responsible for the ugly cookie cutter design of HDB of the 70s 80s and urban planned Singapore until in the morning while Island jam to the CCR and in the evening jam all the way back home .
Likethatalsocan:
CAN SOMEONE REALLY TELL ME WHAT IS SINGAPORE BECOMING>??
ABOUT THIS GUY, besides talking nonsense, where are all his children residing now…?
Stop-at-two:
Was Liu a staunch supporter of Stop-At-Two??
RunSilentRunDeep:
Your children and your descendants would lead fulfilling, carefree lives in the wide expanses of Australia, Europe and North America…
LOO THAI GIRL:
Want to try your hand at the President job is it?
sovereign state???:
How can we have a sovereign state if the majority of the population are not born in this country.
What is sustainability:
If we eliminate the temptation of huge ministerial pay, all the political elites will begin to focus on building a better Singapore, not a wealthier Singapore.
Why did such a prominent city planner make this bold statement, knowing pretty well the public opposition to the Population White Paper? Was he following specific instructions from the govt? So now many believe that the cat is out of the bag:
Lewd thai girls:
Maybe he perchar lobang [leaked secret] on what the PAP is actually planning.
Rotten PAPayas:
They are now testing the waters with the 10 million figure to see the reaction from the ground.
ThisIsABigHint:
This is the biggest hint, the population will not stop at 7M but will aim at 10M instead.
IT’S NOW OR NEVER!:
They are using him as a tool to voice out. The blueprint is out for sure.
Intentional ‘perchar lobang‘ or not, many of our readers are of the opinion that this tiny island we call our home will cave under the weight of a 10-million population.
Unbelieveable:
At current population, Singaporeans already faced problems due to shortage of housing, transport issues and competition for jobs from foreign trash. Unless we want to face crowdedness everywhere, live in a concrete jungle with no natural vegetation or claim the title of the world’s most densely populated country…
oxygen:
Reclaim land from the sea? Johor straits? Or Singapore’s straits? Look at how Indonesia squeezed us on sea boundary on the western and south western side – we won’t be able to reclaim anything without soon encroaching on Indonesian waters and territorial space.
…the existing roadways CANNOT be expanded to accommodate higher density traffic because of existing building structures, drainage and electrical system alongside. Everywhere we will see one word called GRIDLOCK in an economy that is trapped to STANDSTILL of slow or no activity.
Talk Cock Liu:
Right now, we are breaking at the seams, over health care facilities, housing, transportation,manpower and employment, etc., while being nowhere near the stupid target of 6.9 million yet. There is a geographical limit to land reclamation. We can go only southwards to a point when the Indonesians will call for a stop before their sea boundary. The ice caps are melting faster than estimated and ocean level will rise,and you will expect our city water frontage and Sentosa’s elite housing to be having a water table of one meter up their walls.
So who are you gonna believe? A professional architect claiming that Singapore cannot survive unless we grow our population to 10 million? Or our learned readers who are warning of a gridlocked nation crashing under the weight of overpopulation?
Perhaps our PAP govt has a secret plan to accommodate 10 million people (or 20 million, 50 million even, into the 22nd century) ?
Perhaps then all our problems will be solved and we can simply say, “Beam me up, Scotty!”
What do you think?
