What Did Singapore Lost? Why only Sampan 2.0?

Sg did not create the desired synergy with M'sia for all its worth as a trading port. Or think Hong Kong is to Shenzhen. Our situation is similar to Penang or Hong Kong. Instead of collaborating, we ousted manufacturing, bring in bankers, up real estates, pop two casinos, where do the people fall in between? These policies agreed by our MPs you know.

The manufacturing industries was started by Albert Winsemus, thats why we had polytechnics and NTU, to support innovation and manufacturing. But now its all in the lull. Unlike some vivi say what politics is a contest of cleaning, no. Its a chess game. One miscalculation or let your ego gets in the way, your ally becomes your opponent and gain upper ground. Our parliamentarians are too micro, short-sighted. Even if the MPs do not have the economic knowledge or faintest idea of the history of Sg, the civil service should at least deliver credible research and policies for the MP's to work on. So what's done is done, you see for yourself the outcome.

Btw the ego why sg did not create the penang synergy is because the squabble between 2 old man. You see, now sg no where to run except vice. They technically turn a decent metropolis into a slum. Filter away that useless newspaper of ours that's not even in top200 ranking, all those lopsided surveys and polls, and you see what I see.http://www.economist.com/node/21525968
