Looks like you are not aware what happening outside Singapore. These people are now sitting on houses that are worth 3 to 4 times. Their children are in positions that locals cannot compare. Medical is completely free and their pension is good. Frankly I know of one guy who is a lawyer who returned here after his spongins time in jail for cheating the Govt. Stupid fellow did not take up Citizenship after close to 20 years in the UK and was deported after his time in prison.

Re: Why UK took Brexit - and its implications

Yes. The nectar of cheap labour is always tempting. Interesting that you mentioned his wage policy in the 80s. At that time Goh, Hon and Ngiam pushed for high value add industries. Then we had an economic hiccup in 84/85. The employers pushed to bring down labour costs by reducing CPF contribution. The Economic recovery taskforce was led by LHL and he yielded. It kept on dropping. Employers were hooked and some moved to chap labour business because of the margins.

Fate gave us an Economist for the first 20years and then gave us a mathematician. We now have a economist reporting to a mathematician.

The lesson is that once you have a dependence on cheap labour you are courting disaster ? To be fair to the government , they identified productivity as a major issue for at least 40 years if not more. The trouble is they took a number of disastrous turns, beginning with the high wage policy in the 80's. Then they lost their way because of the single minded focus on GDP.

Don't be sour grapes lah.

I have relatives in places like Australia, Canada,... they live in bungalows. Some homes even have swimming pools. They usually have 2 cars. Some even take public transport to work because it is cheap & reliable. They are living the middle class lifestyle.

They have to pay high income tax but it is not a zero sum game. In return the children get free education, everyone gets affordable comprehensive medical insurance, unemployment, ... etc They sometimes complain about the high taxes but interestingly none have returned to Spore

You can't blame the ex-Sporeans for looking for greener pastures. If you want someone to blame, blame the PAP for NS, cronyism, high hidden taxes, depressing the wages, making things so expensive,...
