Singapore seen emerging Asia's weakest economy

[The_Latest_H]

You dun nid to be an economist to figure out why Singapore is emerging as Asia's weakest economy. Singapore is nothing but a concrete jungle with no natural resource to speak of. Our biggest asset is none other than the people we have but now many were displaced by massive foreign workers which our great leaders sayang them so much.

To our great leaders, you want us to soldier on as stayers but yet you choose to dish out so many rubbish policies. I would like to remind them this...You can only be great because we make you so.

In this mobile era as well, if you piss off local citizens, the more these well-off and the middle class people will wanna leave. And Singapore has one of the highest emigrant rates(in proportion to population size) around the world.

China can afford to lose 1% of its talent and still be able to progress. If Singapore loses 1% every year, or even just 0.5% every year, the impact on the country will be bigger and for the negative.

Lim Swee Say," Cutting ministers pay will not solve the problem."

But cut peasant CPF by 3% can solve. And peasant kanna again...

Lim Swee Say," Cutting ministers pay will not solve the problem."

Raising minister pay will not solve it either.

please lah, what can a two party system do to improve the economy and well-being of our people? you got nothing really...nothing at all. credit should be given to our garment for making singapore what it is today.
just too bad, this global depression has eaten into our bones. so face it squarely and stop blaming anybody. it's heaven mandate that singapore should go through this baptism of fire.
you clever? come and do something for singaporeans. stop whinning and complaining all night long.

sinkees have the highest paid pap govt to do the job... why should i do something for sinkees then ??... when the pap govt paid themselves obscence salaries for self-belief.. they think they can even bring down the price of oil...
