Next step: Moving unproductive Singaporeans out of Singapore

[loneshark]

Judging from the latest development in our population strategies, some Singaporeans especially those unproductive and uncompetitive ones may have to leave our first world country and move to the third world countries. The Prime Minister Office has claimed that new immigrants are “talents and good quality”.


As compared to new citizens, old and existing citizens are not that talent and good quality. So, with low earning power and capability, how can they live in our expensive first world country? One option is to move out of Singapore with the sponsorship from the government. Not to forget even foreigners staying here have commented that it is not the duty of the government to provide jobs to the citizens. Hence, these talented foreigners may also consider sponsoring the leaving of unproductive Singaporeans.

This blog got me thinking...

People keep complaining about inequality, disparity, divide. Perhaps divide it shall be.
What if the government strike a deal with a government somewhere and set up a settlement there (sunny Hainan?). Build basic infrastructure. Houses with land. Retirement villages.
Retirees can transfer their CPF to use there. People who yearn a slower pace in life can go there and make simple living. Houses are cheap, life is rustic. You can even grow your own food.
Of course, the deal between the two governments would require Singapore goverment to give something in return. Perhaps that would just be an extension of what is already happening.

It's simplistic thinking. But let's throw some wild ideas.

If you want to get out of the rat race or don't want to live like a digit, its highly recommended you move out and see the world.

in a democratic society, the Citizens can indirectly decide their fates. my question is: is it human nature to forget about their weaker counterparts?

That's actually an excellent idea. Companies don't provide pensions in this day and age. Workers who reach retirement age are simply shown the door.

It should be the same for countries. Once citizens is no longer productive, they should move on.

They can afford to relax because they have brains. They work smart. They get robots to do the menial, unskilled stuff while they perform highly technical work. In other words, they are non-Singaporeans.

truth to be told, me understood that it is during those laid back hours (aka happy hours) where folks booze and have fun chats, great ideas are generated; me mean, take a look at the ideas generated from folks when they are in a trance

Wah, never take enough medicine ar? China and SE Asia lor. Because someone think Singapore like HKG which is not a country wat. Many honkies are moving out of the HK to mainland as no money. Pokkai as they allow their property market to balloon. Some dog in PAP see can do the same leh, esp since LKY say SGP not a country wat
