Achieved at the expense of standard of living. This country is run like a company.
 
Infrastucture so good that I have no chance to see my $$$, all payment done thru GIRO, Salary in - Out instantly.
 
Its true true that Harry Lee is first first class to build hardware,infrastructure.Fantastic,at the expense of welfare which is very dirty word for PAP.

Whatt we are lacking is the software,which he has been searching in vain.

The soln obviously is with he himself,when would he make that discovery?

SADLY,The only person whio could advise him is actually speechless now!!!
 
Is the size of the country the matter? comparing just a red dot and the vast continent.

But other cities cover a much larger area with the population more spread out (meaning infrastructure projects going to cost a bomb and not easy to get returns on investment, funding may also be a problem as other cities are not going to pay for infrastructure in one city). Also, in other cities, it is not so easy to obtain the desired land from the population to carry out huge infrastructure projects.

it is true that having a choice is good, but driving on highway is not really that shiok. Imagine everyday at least 90 mins of driving to work and come back which would be 3hr wasted. See a good dentist maybe 2 hour drive, eat 1 popular ramen maybe another 2 hour drive. Sometime meeting friends over the weekend we have to pick somewhere in the middle for all of us, which is like 3 hour drive.
 
that is not fair country vs city.

pls compare apple to apple.
