Guys, can you fix economy?
August 09, 2009
How to maintain high economic growth and improve living standards?
Desmond: 'Invest more smartly.'
David: 'Be more creative in attracting investors.'
How to convince Singaporeans their lives will get better?
David: 'Tell Singaporeans we are going through this as a nation, not as individuals.'
How to satisfy transport demands of the next generation?
Desmond: 'Have a cocktail bar in the MRT.'
David: 'Make public transport hip because we will eventually reach a point where there is no more space for cars on our roads.'
William: 'Er... Okay. But I'll still be driving.'
How to design job training programmes and wage supplement schemes for low-income older workers.
Desmond: 'Not discriminate against the old.'
How to get younger Singaporeans to marry and have children?
William: 'More bonuses.'
David: 'Genetically modify Singaporean girls to be more 'chio' (pretty in Hokkien)!'
How to support the growing elderly population?
Desmond: 'Do more to encourage respect for the elderly because now, all I see are posters on the MRT asking us to give up seats for the elderly.'
How to deal with scarce land resources?
Desmond: 'Build islands like what Dubai is doing.'
William: 'Or have underwater home projects.'
David: 'Or genetically modify Singaporeans to be smaller.'
How to bond Singaporeans overseas to their homeland?
David: 'Focus less on the economy and more on our eccentricities.'
