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.

One option is to move out of Singapore with the sponsorship from the government.

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.
