To remain successful and to stay competitive as an economic hub, Singapore needs to remain open to the flows of people besides being open to trade and investments.
Staying open to the flows of people, however, does not mean staying 'blindly open' to foreigners.

Benjamin Chan says it is important to have Singaporeans in top jobs, but only by his/her own merits rather than their birthrights.

To the MPs – don’t take the easy route of socialism and protectionism just to win votes. Preserve what made us an economic miracle but enforce fairness in the workplace so that qualified Singaporeans don’t get sidelined.
To the “other Singaporeans” – don’t just complain why other foreigners are ahead of you. Venture out and get some overseas experiences as well. Life is not always fair, deal with it!

To strengthen the Singaporean core and reduce reliance on foreign workers, we need to increase our work productivity.
To stay competitive with an ageing workforce against a younger global talent pool, we need to keep upgrading ourselves or risk being squeezed out of the global competition for good jobs.
