Why still no reports on Singapore being #1 in the World for:
Debt vs GDP
WHY STILL NO NEWS REPORTS LOCALLY?

Actually, you do not need rocket science to deduce the reason as to why so many foreigners are "encouraged" to work and settle here.
The paramount reason is the extreme sinking birth rate and the increase in the number of aged Singaporeans coupled with the increase in the number of singles.
These younger foreigners will form a significant backbone to "support" the aged through taxes, etc etc.
If only the intentions of the Pappies are so noble. If only. Sigh!
From the way they are raising prices with rubbish reasons you still think like that? Its a sad future for Singapore if more than 50% think like you in the next erections.
If anyone can do the maths and extrapolation of the aged in 30 years time vs the consistent low birth rate, it can be really scary. The younger generation will actually have extra-ordinary burden to support the aged and sick.

want to massage the GDP figures and population figures thru' external means and not understanding the natural cycle of life & death?
biology 101:
growth cycle is dependent on the amount of natural resources within the system. outgrow the natural amount of resources, we'll see a plateau and the decline. the way the PAP is flooding the country with adult FTs/PRs, we'll see a faster drive towards the Grey nation.
you want the population to reproduce? keep the standards of living AFFORDABLE and CONDUCIVE. stress will keep the rate of population renewal low. the reasons why Singaporeans ain't producing, simple, HDB flats ain't affordable, costs of living is too high, stress level too high, who in the right frame of mind would dare bring his/her child into such stressful environment?
social darwinism coming into play, if the population deem the environment too undesirable, they will not reproduce, they can choose to move away, or be forced into the lower rungs of the society.
always constantly remind oneself, humans ain't economic digits, they are social animals![]()
