White Paper, sealed and buried
Parliament is over, Hong Lim Spring is over, is the fate of 6.9m or a bigger population than the present over? Can the 77 MPs touch their hearts and say they have the authority from the people to bring in another million or 1.6m people into the country? Or would they just keep quiet, assumed that they have the authority even if the people disagree, because it is passed by Parliament, so they can go forward to execute the proposals in the White Paper?
Given the widespread unhappiness and anger, would the Govt bother to consult the people, have a real conversation with the people and get the consent from the people to go a head with this ambitious, dangerous and unpredictable path of a bigger population that may prove too big to handle? This act will change the whole demography of the nation, the social and political landscape as well.
My personal view is that the Govt owes it to the people to seek their permission to change the whole fabric of this nation. They cannot ignore the people, not 77 men and women against the wishes of 3.3m citizens. No minister in the cabinet, not even the PM, is big enough to make this change. A referendum on this is the most decent thing the Govt should do. It is not a matter of you know best and you would shoulder the responsibility should an epic failure befallen this island in the future. No one is qualified to carry this responsibility. And worst, none of the 77 would likely to be around when the crunch hits.
Is the White Paper sealed and buried and not to be spoken again?

It is sealed, buried and destine.
It will be and it shall be.
BUT,
there is no need to stay put to witness and be a victim to it. Fight iy and be a martyr or seek a better play to go.
No one, absolutely no one will be responsible for any damage in the Population(Immigration) Policy for the 6.9 Million by 2030.

Men in White with their white paper and black hearts.Why do they need to seek people's approval for any thing affecting peoples' life if the daft people have given them a free hand to run the country as they please?
What did I say?
I told you so ;-)

Wipe paper, used and flushed down the sewers lah!
Did you not know that Parliament is the rubber stamp of the PAP? So nothing is surprising that the issue is sealed and buried, whatever unhappiness it may have brought.
Do Singaporeans have any other objections? Hey, Natcom is still on I guess, so Singaporeans can always give their views to the deaf and blind. One PAP big wig even said that there are bound to be a group of people always not agreeing with whatever policies that the Government comes up with.
So, true blues, please save your outburst and anger for 2016. This is the only occasion that they will listen to you. I mean listen, but whether they hear or not is another question.
Too many trees were fell for this white paper. Either shred it or turn it into something useful - like toilet paper.
Vote opposition to save sinky from sinking further.
Vote opposition in GE 2016.
With 51 Opposition MPs in parliament, we can overturn all Pro Alien pieces of legislation put in by the Traitors.
