Daniel Goh of WP wants to know why the 6.9 million parameter is still there


Daniel Goh of WP wants to know why the 6.9 million parameter is still there if the government is cutting down on foreign manpower and making economic adjustments.

The government's decision to cut down on manpower was made in 2010 (see here: http://on.fb.me/1FsjzUc) and they have also said that they have no intention to make any u-turn on this. Why? Because this is one of the necessary steps for economic restructuring to be successful. 

Can it be that Daniel Goh is ignorant of this? Does he keep track of changes in policy?

WP's obsession with 6.9 million is nothing more than a political move calculated to make people angry in order to win votes. 

The important question is not the 6.9 million question. 

The more urgent and important question that Daniel Goh and WP should be addressing is the zero growth in the local workforce in 2020. Does Daniel Goh have a solution to this? What is WP's solution to deal with this challenge. 

We ask this question not in triviality. We ask it in earnestness. 

We hope that The Workers' Party will answer this question.
