      Only the rich pple support a large population bcoz they benefit most from it while peasants suffers.


      Since there are more peasants than rich people and PAP needs votes to stay in power. Why are they doing this? Are they crazy? :?

      I am not interested to speculate whoever's intention.

      But, say, IF I am a selfish person. If I were currently in control of a company and I foresee that my control may not be sustainable in the long run, I would implement policies in my best interests regardless of the other individual's protest in preparation of the inevitable. Till then, I build up my golden nest :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: When it is time to handover, I gladly give up the control and enjoy my retirement in maybe Sentosa clove and my offsprings are well taken care of.. :evil: Leave the mess to those taking over..

      When the bubble eventually bursts and the economy sours, the scheme spirals downward with higher unemployment, depressed wages, falling incomes, more people sinking into debt, more homeless families — and more men, women and children on public assistance.

      That is the stage when the advocates of Ponzi demography — notably enterprises in construction, manufacturing, finance, agriculture and food processing — consolidate their excess profits and gains. That leaves the general public to pick up the tab for the mounting costs from increased population growth (e.g., education, health, housing and basic public services).

              Sigh. That's the question they forgot to ask themselves. Everything also they want, only don't know how to justify. Hence no answer!

                They don't want to have more babies, also don't want the gov to give special grants to encourage birth rate since not all will benefit, they don't want immigrants; also they don't want to pay higher tax and GST... lets pray money fall from heaven by billions.

                Above all, let's pray that we will be forever as blessed!

                  We need not turn the nation into peasants even if we do not want excessive population growth leading to overcrowding, if you're expecting an answer from me.

                    I would avoid D'Leedon, cheap for many reasons!

                    Coolkidsrock2:
                    Not Shelford Green.

                    Balmoral was arranged by DH so I cannot remember the name.

                    The small projects in the area are in this price range.

                    For now, the few agents I spoke with all told me the best value is D'leedon. It was also mentioned by another forummer. I caveat that this is not advice to anyone.

                        But may be turn everyone into peasants right now (if the gov could) we don't need to increase our population ever, or bother about sustaining our economic growth!

                        No economic growth KPKB, got growth cannot sustain also KPKB, want to sustain but don't want the bitter pill, also KPKB!

                        Let's die together in a natural death! Pop champagne!
