MINDEF Innovates for Tomorrow
MINDEF Innovates for Tomorrow 22 May 1998 More than 170 SAF and MINDEF personnel were honoured for their efforts and contributions in improving service excellence and productivity this morning, 22 May 98. The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Defence, Dr Tony Tan, presented awards to individuals, groups and units that have done well in their productivity efforts at the 11th Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) Productivity In Daily Effort (PRIDE) Day awards presentation ceremony held at SAFTI MI. The MINDEF Productivity Movement was established in 1981 to foster a climate receptive to change, raise productivity awareness and promote involvement and teamwork within the organisation. MINDEF has always been taking serious efforts in productivity; innovating to reduce operating costs and improving the efficiency of the work processes in the organisation. The theme for this year's MINDEF PRIDE Day, 'TOGETHER, INNOVATING FOR TOMORROW', is in line with the foundation theme 'Innovation & Quality' promulgated by Public Service Board for the productivity movement from 1996 to 2000; and theme for the 1997 Public Service Convention 'Serving Singaporeans Today TOMORROW'. Dr Tan also opened the 11th MINDEF PRIDE Exhibition. The exhibition showcased outstanding projects and suggestions contributed by MINDEF and SAF personnel. For the first time, this exhibition is open to the public in the Toa Payoh, Bukit Merah and Tampines SAFRA clubhouses on 23rd and 24th May 98, from 10 am to 8 pm. This allows MINDEF to share its achievements with members of the public, particularly the 250,000-strong operationally ready NSmen. This move is made in recognition of the important role played by NSmen not only in the operational readiness of the Singapore Armed Forces, but also their contributions to the overall productivity efforts in MINDEF and at their respective workplaces.

Speech by DPM Wong Kan Seng on Population at the Committee of Supply
Speech by DPM Wong Kan Seng on population at the Committee of Supply PREAMBLE Mr Chairman, many Members have spoken passionately about the issues of immigration and population. They no doubt reflect concerns raised by segments of our public over the increased inflow of immigrants and its impact on our society. This is a very important subject, and it is also a highly complex subject. I want to thank the Members for giving me this opportunity to address it. Let me first assure the Members that the Government recognises and acknowledges Singaporeans’ concerns and sentiments. Indeed, in the last few years, we have seen a dramatic increase in the number of foreigners in Singapore. It is understandable that Singaporeans may feel uncomfortable over the sheer number of foreigners in our midst. The Government has taken note of this, and we have reviewed our current processes of granting permanent residence (PR) and citizenship to foreigners in Singapore. CALIBRATING THE INFLOW OF FOREIGNERS Dr Teo Ho Pin asked about the Government’s strategy in attracting foreigners to come here for work, and to become PRs and citizens. Broadly speaking, there are two types of foreigners living in Singapore – the transient group which mainly comprises those who come here to work, and the resident group which sinks roots and becomes our PRs and citizens eventually. Although this distinction is not obvious on the ground, it is an important one to bear in mind. In June 2009, the transient group accounted for about 1.25 million out of our total population of about 5 million.
