if singapore doesnt work with cheaper better faster talentos i dont see how it could ever work with just sinkies alone.i predict singapore population will be fine 20,30 years later,probably even bigger.the core population on the other hand will see a shrinkage to 1980s levels.after all have u ever seen a country go from first world to third what more a small tiny country like Singapore?its not singapore is too hard to manage or keep afloat,its just we are trying too hard to be something we are not,or punch above our weight like some called it.u want a tiny country of 3.5 million population with a sane GDP per cap of 30,000 which is still rich and first world is perfectly doable......70,000 is just asking too much.
we will probably see a new breed of singaporeans emerge 20 years later,a new smorgasbord of patois from the intermingling of chao ni ma,putang ina mo and high caste shitskins.what new language will emerge no one knows.sinkies on the other hand will become a dieing species,the last of the samurai.we will become the native minorities like australia aboriginals or native indians or worse the m&ds,doomed forever to live off welfare of the state and special reparations status.
