What I meant by forging our own national identity is to have our
very own political model, legislative instead of following western
countries model which may not even suit our nation diverse
culture.
Economic-wise, I garnered that it may not be feasible because of
globalisation and market competitiveness. But still, look at
Japan.
In term of social welfare, I personally think that CPF is a very
good way and our country very own to encourage savings,
investments, buying of flat, medical payments or retirement.
