DIALOGUE ON IMMIGRATION AND INTEGRATION, 18 JULY 2010

One hundred grassroots leaders were invited to a closed-door dialogue session with Mr Wong Kan Seng, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affairs. Mr Wong is also the Member of Parliament for Bishan-Toa Payoh GRC.

The dialogue kickstarted with a detailed slide presentation by officers from the National Population Secretariat headed by its Director Ms Sim Ann. This was followed by an interesting Question-and-Answer session with DPM Wong on the panel taking on a slew of interesting and pointed questions ranging from the stress on national resources to social challenges posed by the influx of new citizen and immigrants. In replying and putting context to the questions, DPM Wong shared with grassroots leaders his rich personal encounters.

We are pleased to share with you the following photos taken during the dialogue session.
