Statistics that will startle YOU: Locally born Sinkies only 40% of total population?

An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:

According to a little bird from the West, the Sinkie gabrament's multi-million $ databases containing both citizens' and foreigners' data--NRIC numbers, FIN numbers, WP, EP details, etc...--were hacked into. Apparently the Sinkie officials ARE still in the dark.

After combing through and analyzed the hacked data, this same little bird had some startling statistics for us Sinkies:

i. Locally born Sinkies only made up about 40% of total population

ii. Of this number, only 70% are active contributors to CPF (does this mean only 70% of locally born Sinkies have full-time jobs?)

iii. 85% of locally born Sinkies are unable to meet CPF minimum sum

iv. On average about 2,000 locally born Sinkies gave up their Sinkie citizenship annually

v. On average about 40,000 foreigners became Sinkies each year. About 20% of these naturalized Sinkies are over the age of 45, meaning (a) they will become senior citizens in less than 20 years (b) the nanny state will have to subsidize their medical care.

[It's no wonder that whenever MOM or some other ministry publishes data for public consumption, data on Sinkies are always lumped together with those of PRs]

As the hacked data was a bit outdated, it was left to the little bird from the West to do some extrapolations. According to this little bird's estimations, about 95% of the current Pioneer Generation are unable to participate in the MediSHIT Life scheme when it is launched later in the year. It makes one realize that the much-vaunted policies of Old Fart and the Founding Elder Son are just HYPE.
