Singapore homeowners resent immigration push Koh Gui Qing Reuters/Singapore R esentment in Singapore is mounting over an increasing number of immigrant workers, as the country changes under an immigration policy aimed at boosting growth. The government wants to raise population growth by increasing the population by 35 percent over the next 40 to 50 years through immigration, but locals fear the plan increases competition for jobs and homes. About 1,600 homeowners in the Southeast Asian nation have signed a petition to stop the government from building a dormitory for 600 migrant workers in their neighbourhood. Residents say they do not want the dormitory near their homes because it may increase crime, worsen traffic congestion, and cause property prices to fall. Singapore wants to increase its population of 4.8 million to tackle a low birth rate and ageing population. “If the government goes for growth, Singaporeans have to accept the social costs of a growing foreign population in their midst,” said former prime minister Goh Chok Tong. Most Singapore citizens are descendants of immigrants who came to Singapore from China, India and the Indonesian island of Java at the turn of the 20th century. Fig. 2 (i) Explain why the government of Singapore wants to increase the population. [3] (ii) Suggest reasons why some people in Singapore disagree with the immigration policy. [4] (iii) What strategies, other than immigration, can be used by governments to increase population growth? [5] (c) For a country which you have studied, explain why the rate of natural population growth is low. [7] [Total: 25 marks] www.theallpapers.com

Credit written answers or information included as part of labelled diagrams (do not double credit here).
