You are right in two aspects, firstly, move away, the problem
will cease to be your problem, secondly one must know one's
abilities. NOBODY QUARREL WITH ANYBODY WHO SAYS "THIS IS BEYOND ME,
I QUIT". Can't handle PAP, or the Singapore government, quit, yes,
like the Harvard law professors. 
None of the families involved in the Joo Chiat families moves away,
why? because Joo Chiat is their home. Nuisance in the neighborhood
can be a noisy dog, or dirty c o ckcroaches, the Chan family just
happens to be a human nuisance. Applying your logic or mentality,
nuisance such as dogs and c o ckcroaches are small problem, can
handle, human is big problem, cannot handle, so quit. To the
families in Joo Chiat, "this is my home, no quitting! we join
force, we cooperate, want to make monkey faces, want to fight in
court, we fong bei." See the difference?
Obviously the Harvard law professors couldn't handle political
heat, that's why they better remain as academicians. But who say
the rich have left, I see more and more of them are buying up
expensive properties here.
Nobody says that increasing one's salary at the expense of the
populce is a good policy, everybody agree that this is a self
serving objective of the ruling party, everybody knows that there
is a need for controls, check and balance, the whole Singapore want
to have more oppositions in the parliament, everybody who reads
newspapers know that the ST is pro government, .........no need to
preach to the converted, no need to "repeat after me".
And of course it is difficult to analyse their policies, because
these were set by scholors, all highly educated ones. of course the
government won't provide you the data lah, you think they want to
give you the ammunition to shoot them, need them to also tell you
where to shoot? and be reminded that when you shoot wrongly, you
will be sued. Can you handle that or not?
I don't limit anybody's thought, but is there any thought at all or
just words? I am looking for alternatives, but is there any other
than MIGRATION? There is no need to repeat after me the argument
"If you haven't live in another country, how do you know it's not
good there", 
You don't need to go to Disneyland to know that you
can have fun there, to Hokkaido to know that you can be frozen to
death....interesting to read that it was the migrated ones who
thought that the people in China live a simple life in jungle and
tree. 
Everywhere you go, there will be good experience, bad encounters,
difficult people, helpful friends, moment of joy and sadness,
feeling of achievement, sentiment of loss. What is narrow minded? a
mind that only look at one aspect of the experience, good or bad.
The only time when find a place where there is only joy and
happiness, no sorrow no tears, you must have died and gone to
heaven.
