The Question is: “That this House endorses Paper Cmd. 1 of 2013 on A Sustainable Population for a Dynamic Singapore as the roadmap to address Singapores demographic challenge, and Paper Misc. 1 of 2013 on A High Quality Living Environment for all Singaporeans as the land use plan to support Singapores future population projections; and supports maintaining a strong Singaporean core by encouraging more Singaporeans to get married and have children, supplemented by a calibrated pace of immigration to prevent the citizen population from shrinking; and recognises that the population projections beyond 2020 are for the purpose of land use and infrastructure planning, and not a population target; and calls on the Government to: (a) place priority on resolving current strains on the infrastructure, particularly in transport; (b) plan, invest in, and implement infrastructure development ahead of demand; (c) ensure that the benefits of our population policies, such as better job opportunities and salaries, flow to Singaporeans; and (d) carry out medium term reviews of our population policies and assumptions to take into account the changing needs of Singapore and Singaporeans, as well as changing domestic and external circumstances.” As many as are of that opinion say Aye.
