Blue part: If there's in, there's always out. People migrate
elsewhere, but elsewhere people migrate here.
I feel that unless major changes are made to health and education
systems, we will be seeing more people migrating out of Singapore.
First of all, these two systems cost a lot. And they are known to
make people bankrupt. Just health alone can do the job, not to
mention education. For health, I wouldn't say free healthcare to
the extent like NHS. But I would say more subsidies to help out.
The current system is being improved on, but we still have to pay a
lot.
For education, changes have be made to help the ITE and Polytechnic
students. They have lesser chance of entering local universities
and we forced them out of Singapore to study. Some of them might be
even staying there for good, not a good idea since Singapore's main
resource is humans. Despite a chance in policy, lots of them still
can't make it. Local universities fees are also very expensive. The
recent changes to commercialize them doesn't help.
