Actually, many MPs are multi-taskers with numerous directorship or interest in various business is it not?3Boys:
You know, I'm not cynical about their intentions. The MIW crafting these policies will unlikely personally benefit much from it, as they will be deep into their 70s/80s by the time it comes around.
Really?
The supposed economic benefits equals GDP growth which will translate into fat bonuses for those whose financial rewards are tied to GDP growth? -

Hmmm...by then all the MAJOR SHARE HOLDERS will have the fattest pockets..3Boys:

while, possibly, the mass and mess will be in the hands of the oppositions to deal with.. And there will be a reason for MAJOR SHARE HOLDERS to confirm that they are not so stupid..

Since the cost of land in Singapore is so much higher now relative to construction cost, I'll suggest, from now onward, all roads be build underground, old roads can gradually be converted to underground also. All new MRT lines should be build underground. It frees up space and reduce much noise pollution above ground level.
That will be expensive and our income tax will be increased! :lightrod: -

By then, what is p-parliamenen power compared to the power of capital? Why not the possibility of Nuclear Power? It might just be the reason the existing power plants are sold off. When the politicians have to 'kowtow' to the 'businessmen' - Well, the answer will be - \"you people asked for it, didn't you? You voted for the oppositions to voice out for you mah! Heheheh! \"

Sorry, I'm not getting drawn into that debate. I'm a reasonably analytical guy, and I believe this to be true. Even the WP have said that the PAP have the interest of the nation at heart, so I have very little time for cynical views in this regard. You are of course, free to form your own view.3Boys:

The question we should be asking is not why our policy makers are embarking on what appears to be a population ponzi scheme for the sake of economic growth.
The question we should be asking is what will we have our policy makers do in the face of other people (ie. our neighbours and the other economic powers whether international or regional) embarking on what appears to be a population ponzi scheme for the sake of their economic growth. If not this, then what? -
