Most of the problems we are facing, especially low birth rates, are problems faced by nearly all developed countries and cosmopolitan developed cities.
If the opposition was in charge, we would be facing the same problems as most Third World countries - lack of drinking water, civil unrest, political instability, low income, over dependence on tourism and prostitution as a source of income.
LKY is credited with dragging Spore from a swampland to a 1st world nation.
If he was such a talented leader, then why couldn't he solve the falling population problem
If you look at the high cost of bringing up children in Spore, you will see why the population is falling.
Many of my friends & relatives who have emigrated & started families have 2 to 8 children. While the ones in Spore have zero to only 1 child only.
KNN, even Sam is sympathetic enough and displays some remorse by having the background of this website in black during this period of mourning. Now that he has died, Song Boh?

For years, forumners here have been hoping and praying for his early demise. Now that he is really gone, are you feeling really happy and elated? Or do you somehow feel deep inside you that you are starting to miss him already? Be honest.
Ah Gong is a talented leader. Many regions that I traveled to wish they had Singapore's problems instead of their own - poverty, corruption, lack of education, lack of clean water, high crime rate.
In most developed places, population growth stabilizes and in many cases, start to age. Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and even modern China are no exception. In Singapore, at least we are trying to arrest the problem by throwing money to sinkies to give birth, and also importing closely vetted foreigners to ensure we get a high quality gene pool.

Very happy... I will be happiest when PAP is booted out.
frankly i think if i were to be voted into power as a opposition candidate,i could easily do a better job than pap.firstly i would start trimming the budget of those ridiculous budgets,like defense budget and white elephant budgets where we know a large portion of the money goes towards feeding worthless crony companies.secondly i would cut all the pay of overpaid jiak liao bee civil servants both military and non military which we know are merely a tool to buy loyalty and keep the pap in power.most importantly i would end crony economics once and for all,large amounts of our nation's and people's wealth are siphoned off every year to fund these cronies' companies and activities.with the huge amounts of savings made will be made towards contributions to the citizens cpf retirement and welfare.i would be the man to revolutionize singapore's economy forever like deng xiao ping and be remembered forever as the father that build "modern" singapore non the facist dictatorial joke.i will also solve the problem of immigration and overcrowding and embark on a sustainable economy and be the first founding father to achieve the swiss standard of living for all singaporean.i will adopt the democratic system of switzerland and scandinavia and make singapore a country that singaporeans would truly love to be part of and turn singapore into the truly democractic country that hong kong wished to be.education would not merely be focused on attaining the highest test score,but on educating people on policies and home affairs and making the best decisions for themselves.in time i hope to educate the people about the evil of LKY and PAP and let them come to their own conclusion of their follies and hopefully one day we will be drawing cartoons and making movies and musicals making fun of LKY just like hitler and kim jong il.
Spend more on education. In particular, better paragraphing in writing the English language for readers' ease of reading. Please.
This is the internet and a forum.paragraphing is troublesome and only slows things down.

The sun still rises in the east, dawn has broken, the birds are chirping, life goes on for another blessed day. Now that the old fart is dead and his ominous shadow no longer looms over us, I can look forward to a glorious future for Singapore, where real change will come at last and the downtrodden masses will finally have a say in their own destiny.
There's every reason to be happy.
