Eh... where's the racetrack going to be?
One thing I like about Singapore - the govt never wants to 'lose
out'!
Everything our
neighbours can do, we can do even better! 
Whilst I shudder to think of the 6.5 million they want to cram on
our very tiny island, sometimes, I think that in order for
Singapore to wield any sort of power and status in the
international arena, it just might be inevitable. I see lots of
statistics and research printed in the newspapers here and though
Singapore ranks right up there amongst the top countries in lots of
areas, we don't even appear in the studies simply cause we are too
small in terms of population. 
I mean, recently, Telstra started circulating brochures asking
Australians to help support the installation of infrastructure for
high-speed Broadband that they claimed the govt was blocking and
there was a graph showing how well-connected the rest of the world
was and though I'm sure Singapore ranks right up there, we weren't
even shown! 
Sometimes, I feel like grabbing the Aussie, shaking them by the
cuff and saying, "Singapore is NOT a third world country, we in
fact have about the same GDP as Australia and we aren't even half
the size of Victoria!!"
