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

Not just us peasants can smell the stingy armpits of the FT/FW, the rich and affluent also got long nose lei! -

Yes. someone already discussed the different alternatives which people should have a choice.I'm still waiting for people to say what they want leh. :scratchhead:
Shall we have 0.00% population growth between now and 2030? :evil:
Our productivity has not even reached the level of developed nation and there is still room for improvement. 5% GDP growth due to 5% population increase isn't going to give existing citizens a better quality of life. But a 1-2% GDP growth due to productivity increase will lead to better life even with 0% population growth. -
Harlequin:
Sigh. That's the question they forgot to ask themselves. Everything also they want, only don't know how to justify. Hence no answer!pirate:

Many laymen like us we have no answers coz we dont have the data and the knowledge to formulate this kind of plans.
What we have is an 'instinct' and a 'gut feel', that this 7 million figure doesnt make sense in this small country.
What we have is the distrust in the government that they can come up with the infrastructure that can sustain this number for most of us, esp our offspring, to live comfortably in the future.
When we don't have the answers, does it mean that we have to shut up and sit down and let the 'wise ones' plan and do whatever they want? -

There is no where in the world that people will allow gov to implement policies that threaten their livelihood for the sake of a \"greater good\". It is simply against human nature. So, i don't think you can run to anywhere.Harlequin:

Who travel by public transport? Who by private sedan?
Who cramp in HDB flats? Whose neighbour is not just 2 steps away from your door?
Who work sitting side by side with their colleagues? Who have the luxury to close their door and inform someone sitting outside they should not be disturbed, should they feel the need?
Who shop in NTUC FairPrice? Who order their groceries and got them delivered to their doorstep?
Who goes to the shops/malls to get their clothes? Who got designer shops jostling to visit their home with their latest collection? -
MR06:
Me this peasant only think of how the immigrants can bring forth or contribute to a better growth of economy, me not so concern about what I smell or what agitate me daily.

If the economy in the negative territory, me the peasants suffer the greatest! The rich gang just get themselves another heaven!
Now, I better think of how to stop others being rich before I become one!
