Yes, it is about meltdown if we make the wrong investment decision.
Voting is an INVESTMENT decision. In fact, it is the MOTHER of all investment decision.
You invest in yourself and your future.
You can't separate politics from meltdown. You only need to look at Malaysia...
Too many bias assumptions. For example, your opinion is based on that :
1 Opp doesn't know economics
2. what pap has been doing is really correct...
What if pap has been hiding the truth?
Sticking to status quo may not necessary be the safest path. One of Pap's favourite story is that of a frog in water that is slowly heated to a boil. It is most applicable to the mindset of Singaporeans. The warnings may be loud and clear but everyone choses to ignore. Just like the sub-prime crisis. Only when it had blown in our face then did we realised that we had foolishly been ignoring all the earlier warnings. The current probable China meltdown is another interesting event. To many, they are quietly confident that it is another market play and things will be normalized as China is too big to fail. However, it is better to also consider the opposite. Afterall usa has failed. What if this time it is going to be true and China is going to fail? Not that it will happen, but at least for those who had ever considered such a possibility, they will be more prepared.
Do not bury our heads in the sand. Face the truth. Have the courage to face change. If change does happen, regardless it is for better or worse, accept it rather than lament over what we should had done or not done. We will then become more dynamic and adaptable like other countries.
