Ha ha, in some democracies, even with 49% the party(A) can get into power. Because the rival (B) got 30% and © got 21%.
Anyway, my point is that from the financial point of view Singapore is not easy to run. Want to grow but cannot hire foreigners, then the low-level jobs Singaporeans dowan to do. Also the big big questions like how to keep Singapore growing (when developed countries like Japan, US and European countries all in a funk). How to protect Singapore from currency attacks (like the 97-98 scenario). How to control asset prices and stocks from getting inflated when QE1,2,3 money flows here in a tidal wave? Or let it inflate and Singaporeans get rich, but how to prevent the bust when the money flows out?
I see us like the developed countries. Our people are not hungry anymore. I speak for myself. If I have to work in the sun for 8 hours a day I also don't think I want. But what job can I do that others cannot do cheaper and better? I really dunno. I want to complain, but complain with no solution also no use mah.
