刘太格强调属个人意见 一千万人口规划旨在防患未然

一千万人口课题成为我国本届大选的热门话题之一,然而新加坡规划大师刘太格表示,并没有太注意这些朝野争议,仅强调一千万人口不是目标,而是国家的最坏打算。

现年82岁的刘太格于日前接受《联合早报》访问,他曾于1969年担任建屋局局长兼总建筑师至1989年,之后担任市区重建局局长兼总规划师至1992年。他在我国于2013年发表人口白皮书后,就多次呼吁政府要做长远打算,在进行城市规划上,要以2100年会出现一千万人口作为基准。

他重申需要做长远打算的立场。“万一达到1000万,我们是有准备的。”

在本届大选中,民主党的竞选宣言“4Y1N”(四要一不)中的不要,就是拒绝一千万人口规划,质疑政府的人口目标。人民行动党驳斥有关指控,强调没有做过以上发言,更指民主党散播假消息。随后,一千万人口规划课题就似乎成为每个候选人访谈和辩论上的课题了。

原副总理王瑞杰也声称,自己没认可刘太格的主张,在去年三月底论坛只是解释人口规模不单只是实体空间,也包含社会空间,以及如何保有凝聚力。不过,他也提及我国人口密度还不算过高,还有其他城市在宜居空间方面更加拥挤。

刘太格强调,在离开公共服务领域后,就没有和任何与政治或政治领导的人物交往,更强调以一千万人口作为规划基准,一直都是他的“个人意见”。

他指出,依据一千万人口的基准提前规划好国家,能够确保国民拥有足够的高速公路和地铁路线,保存我国的绿地和古建筑物等城市环境,更不会在事情发生时才措手不及。

在受访时,他忆述曾于1991年规划我国人口在百年后达到550万,而当前我国人口已经约571万人了,比他预估的早了70年。

他表示,只要政府能够有效运作,且国家经济获得良好发展,我国的就业岗位就会增加,人口也随着剧增。

刘太格坦承,他了解民众对我国基板设施是否能够应付庞大人口,大量引进移民是否导致人口增加的忧虑。惟,他认为基本设施服务属行政管理课题,而引进外国人口也不能说只有缺点,他们也带来了很多正面的影响。对此,他也感到忧虑,因为国人的思维似乎过于单一化了。
