王瑞杰称应助新公民融入社会,而非制造分歧

副总理兼财政部长王瑞杰周一(20日)表示,我国人民应该协助新公民融入社会中,而非让怀疑他们的忠诚度导致社会分裂。

“我们,作为新加坡人,应尽最大努力把他们融合进我们的社会,欢迎他们,让他们成为我们团队的一份子。”

王瑞杰是在周一出席新加坡透视论坛(Singapore Perspectives)上,回答人民力量党秘书长吴明盛的提问时,这么表示。

新加坡每年约迎来1万5千名至2万名新公民,大部分来自马来西亚、中国和菲律宾。

吴明盛提及新公民议题与本地以华人为主的社会,“当我们在基于地缘政治中,需要做出艰难的决定时,新公民又应该站在何种位置?”

他随后引用了“中国情意结”说明,新公民是否会影响我国的政治方向。

对此王瑞杰表示,“我非常不安的是,非常多人试图利用这些差异,而不是试图整合差异,他们将新公民的到来变成一个问题,并且以一种,”你不关心新加坡人和新加坡人的利益“的态度来看待新公民课题。”

王瑞杰认为形容狭隘、本土化的想法,对新加坡的贸易与移民政策没有好帮助。

王瑞杰:他们已是新加坡一部分,应转变态度迎接新公民

他指出,今天有三分之一的跨国婚姻,而外国配偶也经常向他寻求协助获得公民身份。王瑞杰说,“对于那些已成为新加坡公民的外国人来说,他们已是新加坡的一部分,他们坚定的离开自己的国家,因为认为新加坡无论对他或是他的孩子而言都是最好的选择。“

因此,他认为,新加坡人应该欢迎他们成为新加坡的一部分,而且外国人的加入也增强了国家的力量。

王瑞杰也表示,新加坡属于多元种族、宗教和语言的国家,这些均属于新加坡人的财富,在现代高速发展的时代,新加坡人是具有相当高的文化部敏感度,也相信新加坡人能够成为各国间的桥梁。

因此,他认为,与其用这样的态度反应,新加坡人应该更将态度转变成“迎接新公民”接纳他们。
