Maybe this will help you understand how Singapore works:
No, it is NOT Government sponsored propaganda.
A very different subject:
Same like Universities lol
A buddy just telling me a few years back trying to get tech skilled workers (IT) and couldnt but MOM refusing work permits.
They told him get locals but none.
He said if your universities have 90% foreign graduates why cant I have 90% foreign workers…
Some of their banking clients were trying to work out which businesses they could hand over to the consultants to run assuming they could get work permits.
In the end they moved support hardware and workers to Johor, that was 10 years ago.
No wonder the massive new Changi Business Park is almost empty
Luckily must not be some of those assets ( who valued them?) that equal the debt in Singapore…
Unfortunately Singapores USP was 1st world operation ( with a few 1st world staff) at 3rd world costs but thats gone away and now the plan is???
( raise rents, GST and everything else they can squeeze, oh and borrow more money)
Old news, current news and future news
Singapore also remains the only Asian country to have been placed in the top 10 since the index was first published in 1995.
The country last held third place in 2018 and 2020, ranked fourth in 2019 and 2021, and placed fifth in 2022 and 2023.
Wonder what is the scores and rank of your country?: https://www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2024

Last big disaster they sacked for former Army general that ran it and replaced him with another…only in the 3rd world…
The joke is now they have army people as they are good on mass evacuations.
Don’t know what qualify as “disaster” in your book. Maybe this qualify?:
Here is descriptions of the major disruptions that has happen on the Singapore MRT lines in the last 20 years or so:
It’s an election year and 60th Anniversary as an independent country this year:
Here is the goodies coming your way:
If you are a Singaporean that is.
Bribes for the election ( normal, along with free HDB renovations in marginal seats and changing electoral boundary’s to ensure wins) but its the gov causing the inflation thats killing everyone.Jacking all rents as they are a major landlord.
Foreign businesses leaving, less jobs for all
Money to give away yet Gov borrowing increased to 1.5 trillion.
Looks like they are copying the Japanese economy as in no plan?
Many similarities. ( less the giant global companies/money earners Japan has and a asset based gov pension system hence financial reporting on it)
Gov reply is increasing VAT doesnt cause inflation but we will dump more cash into the economy ( also causes inflation) to ease the burden of inflation…lol
Just a tax on the poor as everyone knows
Lol leasehold is a store of money…
Mousedeer can run fast, or hide, but they can not bit:
A bit of background:
The commies have been in charge for how long?
If you think china is still on the way up you need to google a bit more.
Yes Singapore going to suffer through lower trade throughput even worse by the fact Singapore has a surplus with the USA so no penalty needed.
Yet got its own problems before Trump was in town, gov debt allowed to balloon to $1.5 Trillion.
Nobody talking about that ( till next month when it will appear in all international economic data)
Every minister saying Singapore has to pull together as its going to get tough, easy to say when your on a million dollar salary.
Trump tariffs partly a gift to the gov as now an excuse for the decade+ long slowdown and increased debt.
