This is not a joke but something that we must seriously think
for the future of this country. Unlike cities like New York that
have their big father USA or Hong Kong that have big mother China.
We dont have oil nor mines like the Aussie.
God gives us no oil or mines but brians...so that what we
have. Dont listen to the crap that human is assets. Look at Penang
and they are stilll in the 60s of Singapore. We can become Penang
again.
Chinese are doing what we done in manufacturing in the past.
They are learning extremely fast and we are teaching them in
Shouzhou and elsewhere of our Singapore software...
The American are teaching them, the Japanese are teaching
them...the world are teaching them. They are of the same race as of
most of Singaporean. Why make you think they cannot surpass us?
Maybe it is only a matter of time.
If we cannot as Singaporean draw a decent salary in our own
country and our living standard or GDP starts declining..than we
should say goodbye to Singapore and welcome Penang. Most Penang
Malaysian left their island and work in Singapore. Dont ever think
it is fun and glorious to be expatriate, I am working in China and
I too draw a well pay salary but I distaste living away from my
home and family!
I have seen how the Korean had setup industries in Qingdao,
Yantai and Dalian but these cities dont benefit because they are
only be explored for theiir cheap labour. So will Siingapore
if we take on those dirty and low pay manufacturing companies t. So
what can we offer for our future....????
I don't see myself as a Singaporean, I am a peasant.
And I have a dream, no a goal. That I would leave this place and
go somewhere else.
