[SickSinkies]

Foreign visitors are always surprised when they learn the Republic is home to 30 golf courses and seven airstrips.​

Yep , this will be the exact scenario one year from now.
Sillypore is already way too crowded , look at the MRT nowadays.
Hosing for 7.5 million will be a nightmare !
Property prices will reach astronomical figures.
Unemployment will soar. Crimes will be rampant.

stupid fella. 6.5 million is the best. Just need another 1.5 million young PRCs - about 15 to 25 years old

What an amazing urban planner!

Criticism on constraints (housing, healthcare, transport, amenities, etc.) are passe to me. So, I will save the agony of repeating.

Our First Water Agreement with Malaysia expires in 2011 which is just next year. Singapore will scarcely be able to supply water for 5 million people, muchless 7.5 million people in the future. In fact, not only will we have to pay through our noses for water after the elections, I think we will experience water-rationing within 5 years from 2011. Desalination, water reclamation, etc. are masturbation because we will be held ransom by energy costs.

The Second Water Agreement expires in 2061. Yes, it is 50 years from now. But human beings are not digits. You cannot reduce the number overnight without creating an exodus and a collapse of the economy. This is just one example of how Singapore can become a fishing village again due to incompetent policies. There are also uncontrollable factors that we cannot anticipate/foresee.

Singapore is a tiny island with no resources. What we need are buffers, buffers and more buffers. There is no room for even tiny mistakes.

Singapore does not produce its own food. Any disruption to food supplies will create chaos. Many years back when our population was still manageable, a small disruption to vegetable supplies at the Pasir Panjang wholesale market already created HELL and panic.

Singapore does not produce its own energy and cannot survive an external shock. Surely fossil fuel supply will decline/exhaust within the next 50 years.

Singapore is highly wired up. A tiny program error by some Foreign Trash will shut down the train system, banking system, communication system, and logistics.

Anyone with an IQ of 89 would think we should reduce our population to 3.0 million - for safety and long term self-preservation. Even then, we should pray hard, very hard.

all these cr@p people has vested interests and are selfish. period. he is a director of RSP architects. what does that tell you???? more people and immigrants= more flats and condos to build and more projects for his firm and architects , more en bloc and all that crap. more people also means more arttificial demand and, so his bungalow can sell back at millions more then suddenly these people emmigrate elsewhere. why don't media ask them whether they own properties in australia or canada or where they stay. why never ask the common people's opinion?????
. looks like another ponzi scheme, all these property bubble. even with 7 million he would say look at tokyo with 2o million people, why not 20 million, you can also sleep in the street. already singapore very noisy and polluted and everywhere jam like mad and this cr@p nonsense. the blardy media always play up opinion of people with vested interests like property agents and people with companies tied to these sector so that they can earn profits at our expense. even MM says there is a limit and this id!ot comes out to say so. full of sh!t. :oIo::oIo::oIo:

Aiyah, this guy is a lying piece of shit mah. S'pore the only urbanisation success story dealing with high population and high rise density? errr, what about HK, Tokyo, etc. This jack ass has been arrowed to float up a trial ballon mah. Just see what people think about 7.5 million. Next step, Cheebye Mah will say good idea, lets form a committee to study this. than after that, they will say its feasible, and arrange for MOM to let in more FTs.

Some people can predict China's future 30 years later but they cannot predict GDP growth accurately the next 1 to 2 quarters.

They can't even see the immediate problem of not having enough sand to build more infrastructure. Every grain of sand is illegally brought in because the neighbouring countries have banned sand exports due to environment concerns.

* They talk cock about making Malaysia our playground, Riau our backyard to grow vegetables, Bulan Island our sty to rear pigs, Shandong our orchard to grow fruits, and Johor our abode for old folks.
* They talk bigger cock about the haze and illegal logging in Sumatra.
* They talk even more cock about making Singapore a hub for carbon credit trading.

But they act like blur cock on illegal sand mining that damages our surrounding environment. So much cock about sustainable living!

Less than 10 years ago, if it wasn't a stroke of luck that SARS was contained, we just might have become a fishing village again.

Less than 1 year ago, expatriates were running road from Dubai and not repaying their debts due to a financial meltdown.

It seems that some people's amnesia is as bad as their myopia.
