Most singaporeans I know work 50 to 60hrs a week and many work more then that. They put in maximum effort at their jobs. I hardly call that lazy.

Singaporeans spend a lot of time at work. doesn't make them productive or hardworking.

If the pay for construction workers was $3500 per month, a lot of singaporeans will want that job. That goes the same for mechanics and cooks. But it does not. Look at what is going on in the housing estates. You see 6-8, sometimes more Tiongs and indians squeezed into a HDB flat. They are working in singapore as bus drivers, waiters, etc., earning maybe $1200 per month. They share the cost of the flat rental, cook simple meals and they can remit $700-$800 every month back to their families in China and India. Their families can live comfortably on this money they send home. A singaporean living in singapore cannot survive on $1200, especially after his CPF is deducted. Which part of this are you confused about?

only what the paragraph above has to do with anything.

like I said, whoever came up with the policy is the reason for Singapore's wealth and success. Calling me a balls (sic) licker isn't going to change that.

Who is this Dutch guy? Hahahhaha. you must be so ignorant. U are coming on to this forum to debate with people, and you u are intellectually unarmed. You must really think that a small time labour lawyer and a freshly minted LSE econs grad all of a sudden one day had an epiphany and came up with the blue print for economic success in singapore.

no i have no idea who came up with the economic blueprint.

I already said so :

And I don't know who he listened to, but it was by and large the most successful act of policy resulting in wealth creation post ww2.

it's not general information. that's why I asked rite? I didn't come here for a debate. you may be here for a debate, but I came here for information.

I am not here for a battle why would I need to be armed?

800 military bases in all over the world means what? Democracy or dictator theatening the world using commission from oil trade.... free money in a sense to maintain 800 bases is not cheap..

Anymore to chak at us now...

No country was ever better off in the long run with a strong knuckle. Study your history. Countries with strong knuckles like Nazi Germany, Mussolini Italy, stalin russia, etc, do not end well. In modern times, countries with strong knuckle leaders such as Suharto in Indonesia, Mao in China, MArcos in Phillippines, etc have all turned their countries into shit holes. Countries that everyone wants to migrate to, and want to live in, such as UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, etc. have not had a strong knuckle in their history for several hundred years.

And Old Fart did not make Singapore great. If Old Fart was so great, what would have happened if he had been parachuted in to run lets say a Uganda, or a Malaysia, or a Phillippines, or a India? Those countries would by and large still be shit holes. He was lucky he had a hard working and honest citizenship, a well educated people (thanks to the Brit education system), and fantastic ports, dockyards, and infrastructure left by the Brits. The Brits literally left singapore with billions of dollars worth of infrastructure that we did not have to pay for. We are the ones that made singapore great. Our parents made singapore great. All he did was not try to steal everything in the beginning, and listened to Albert Winsemius.
