They are culturally much closer to existing core population. Taiwanese are good also, very similar stock to local chinese, but honestly I think they almost certainly will only treat here as working place, their long-term living env back in TW is superior. Actually India Indian and China Chinese are also ok, but they are unlikely to sink permanent roots here. Taiwan ah? Well, if China one day take over Taiwna, u will see many Taiwanese flocking to SG ..... natural migration. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually India Indian and China Chinese are also ok, but they are unlikely to sink permanent roots here. Those who come here to work, even obtain SPR or even citizens, i think most of them would not sink permanent roots here la, esp if they still have family back in their home country. Unless their whole family and clan all moved to sg, then maybe they would sink their roots here. I know people who have got their citizens here, but still thinking to go back home country to retire when they are old. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if you have 100bil, give up 50 bil so that you don't have to constantly worry about when someone is coming after you is also worth it. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
