it suddenly struck me

singapore has a population made up of approximately 1/4 of foreigners which is ~ 1 million people. all these people are either in the construction, financial or science industries. n if these people suddenly leave, it will leave a gap in our economy. it's almost identical with the situation of Egypt in the Bible. the Israelites were foreigners in Egpyt. they went there at the invitation of the king of Pharoah. but after many many years, they became slaves and were unhappy with their situation in Egypt. The Pharaoh did not allow the Israelites to leave because they would leave a big gap in their construction industry.

I'm thinking, the foreigners in Singapore came at the invitation of our country but if they to multiply more n grow, will we become like Egypt?? Although it hasn't happened, i seriously hope it will not ! it's too scary to have 10 plagues befalling on us!!!
