Amazing insight. Thank you so much.

All this has had a pointed effect on local wages and job opportunity. Take, for instance, PM Lee’s recent lament of the shortage of engineers in Singapore. The problem has become so acutre that we have had to engage Swedish and Japanese engineers to help us figure out what’s causing the interminable breakdowns of our MRT system. Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan even exhorted our train operators to look to Taipei to emulate the reliability of its rail system.
At the risk of belabouring the point, how did we come to this after 50 years of PAP rule?

The earth life is same as humans life, it will end one day no matter how people want to save it.

In late 2022, the PAP’s fourth-generation leaders named Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Lawrence Wong as Lee’s second successor. Wong was subsequently appointed Chairman of the Monetary Authority of Singapore and Chairman of the Investment Strategies Committee of Government of Singapore Investment Corporation, Singapore’s largest sovereign wealth fund.
Just when a succession plan was coming into view, Lee’s most challenging hurdle appeared. In July, a slew of scandals sent shockwaves through parliament.
