Thousands Rally in Singapore to Protest Immigration

A crowd of around four thousand people braved the rain as they protested in Singapore, on Saturday.

They are angry at the government over plans to allow increased immigration.

Many Singaporeans blame immigrants for increases in the cost of living.

The government feels that increased immigration is necessary, as the country's population has been on the decline for thirty years.

It was one of the largest rallies in Singaporean history.

Rallies are rarely allowed, in the country.

Organizers say that it shows just how unhappy the people are, that they're no longer afraid to take the risk.
