Dear brothers and sisters

Perhaps this only happen in Singapore?

PAP depends on new citizens during election.

Book shops nowadays do not sell books. If you go to Popular and Kinokuniya book shops, they sell more stationery, household utensils and toys and CDs.

Car Distributors heavily rely on selling and promoting cars insurance.

Post office also sells stationery, IT products, hard disks etc etc.

Orchard Road businesses rely on Pinoy maids on Sunday, otherwise the whole orchard road is very quiet!

In NTUC Union, their core business is not to protect worker interest but their are operating supermarket, club house etc.

In Football club, their core business is not to train players and making money from player transfer fee. Their core business is Jackpot machine.

In Church, their activities are not just providing a place for pray but selling Olive Oil and China Wine.

In chinese herbal shops, they also sell milk powders and tooth paste etc.

In Singapore Press Holdings, their non core businesses such as property is more than their core businesses as people do not read Singapore news anymore

The alternative fact is that business is so good that everyone is expanding outside of their core business. Even Singtel is mainly focused in IT now. The economic data coming out of Singapore for the last 4 months has been nothing but positive; so much that one wonder why MAS have not raise interest rates or decide to stop our easing. Record GDP growth, record PMI, record export, record tourist and tourist spend...

Many new technologies are produced to lose jobs faster. Either u produce the new tech to make yr neighbor lose jobs or vice versa.

Income inequality. Most of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few here.
Out of boredom or frivolousness, excess money is spent on useless stuff.
And who's providing these non-essential services? 90% of the populace.

I hire lots of non-cores because they are cheaper and hungrier for success than most sinkies.
