sdecww said: It is never a matter of commenting on what had happened but who can come out better ideas to bring economy rising is the important one.
Always relying on the government is what Sinkies are good at and that itself damage them.
How to revive the economy is discussed many times.
1. Restructure Govt link business break them up to small more nimble units.
2. Improve demographics...by implementing policies to increase birth rate instead of failing and failing at this. How to do it is described here

3. Foster a culture of innovation through vibrant exchange of ideas. Stop repressive control of media to spread pap propaganda. Students should be taught critical thinking not to be raised to be obedient worker.. We have to remove exam focus and focus on learning....
4. Stop low wage structure. And start phasing out businesses tgat depend on cheap labor. They are a dead weight and govt keep feeding them with cheap foreign labor to keep going. Loolk at how it is done in high income countries. Learn from them
5. Rethink CPF which has highest contribution rrate in the world yet fail to achieve retirement adequacy. This lopsided burdening of citizens vs govt responsibility has weighed heavily on the citizens.
6. Dismantle the elitist structure of govt in which imperial exams generous scholarships break an elitist culture. If they are really smart they should be out creating businesses and jobs not in govt structures which are least economically productive...and too highly paid.
I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I will do my utmost to keep them alive.
Against tyrants and adversity, I will strive.
Together, a better future, we will realise......

Singapore is a laundry hub. It will not be in recession as there’s always a lot to launder. Look at how strong the currency is, other countries have to weaken their currency to support export industries but not singapore.
