in by the Surinam government on this issue.
Dutch Minister of Foreign
Affairs Stef Blok said that it is genetically determined that groups of people
cannot get along with each other. He added

state.” He said that Singapore is not a
good example because it is a mini country extremely selective on migration policy. He added that they do not
allow poor migrants other than possibly for cleaning. Dutch parliamentarians
were shocked by his statements.
