Are you ready for 7 million people on tiny Singapore?

You can’t stop people for being rich, but you should be able to contain your grudges!

Harlequin:
It is not like trying psle papers leh.
No, it is never a 100% promise, but at least we try, a good odds at 90%. Now that's a A*
Don't try, ZERO!
It has deep repercussion in our long term survival. -
WeiHan:
You mentioned good points about no-way-to-migrate-without-ended-up-the-same, I just tagged on it, nia nia! :evil: gomenasai.
I don't understand what you are driving at. I think mentioning of Greece and Spain are just red herring here. Greece has serious tax evasion issue which Singapore does not have and I hope gov has a good system to prevent that. both countries suffered property bubble burst.Harlequin:
Really... Why is Spain jobless rate at 22%? Bcos they subscribe to the same thinking that the gov policies are threatening the livelihood, least do they know they are the ones that handcuffing themselves into the Death Valley!
In fact, Spain has allowed immigration but emigration exceed immigration after 2008. So what does it says? Our issue is not completely similar to theirs.
There is really nowhere in the world for you to escape to even gov were to increase tax for high income earners by a few percent because their tax system for the high income earner is much harsher than ours. So, it also answers my point earlier on that 10% GST is bad. -

Is it a promise the economy would be in the positive territory with more immigrants and you the peasant would benefit the most?
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.Harlequin:

Peasants or the rich and affluent get to smell more?
Who travel by public transport, who by private sedan?
Who cramp in HDB flats, whose neighbour is not 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?
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!
On your last sentence, don't understand your logic.[/quote]No, it is never a 100% promise, but at least we try, a good odds at 90%. Now that's a A*

I didn't see the 90% in the White Paper. You are the Minister? You are now telling me that? :evil: -

Nobody is stopping who from becoming rich. It is just that the gap has become too huge that a big segment is actually suffering below. we are not talking about good life here, it is about the suffering segment that is getting larger. -

Since when did I had grudges with rich people, did I say I belong to the peasants? :? -

Kudos that you actually read the White Paper... These last 15 years, while you we're holding your breath from the stingy armpits, you were actually comfortably supplement by the economy growth lar.... only you failed to recognize it, nia nia.
Or else what is those souls irking you like your earlier post?
Is it enough said that it works? -

Making more assumptions, aren't you? To the point I got comfy supplements from the economic growth! Don't think your future post warrant a reply from me.
