34 4,500 SINGAPOREANS HEADING FOR NEW ZEALAND Star Mar 27, 2010 As a new population of foreigners settles in, many of Singapore s own defence-trained talents are moving abroad. By Seah Chiang Nee. WHILE Singapore is busy attracting talents from abroad, some 4,500 of its own better-educated citizens may be heading for New Zealand. Such a large number has come as a surprise for two reasons. One is that the New Zealand is not even a top choice and, secondly, Singapore is said to be recovering from the economic crisis.
35 In 2002, Singapore was ranked as having the second highest migration rate in the world (next to East Timor) migrants per 1,000 citizens. This would have meant that some 20,640 of its 3 million people were emigrating at the time. As I was writing this, a news headline read: Singapore retains its top spot for Asian expats to live in. While hundreds of thousands of foreigners are making a beeline for Singapore, an opposite flow is also happening.
36 The outflow of people has long upset leaders like its founding leader Lee Kuan Yew, who once openly wept when he spoke about the subject. Almost one in four top students in Singapore end up working overseas, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. Some Malaysians are puzzled by this phenomenon. Critics say there are several reasons for the exodus, including high stress level, a high cost of living (one of the world s 10 most expensive cities), overcrowdedness and too much government control.
