[Atonchia]

He probably said "I'll take the $66m".

 

Then we can build a bridge there? 

Probably going to cost $6B just on research 😅

Think by boat and plane will be more economical....

Great question! 😁

Industrialised all major agriculture or aquaculture sectors. Take over 80% of small-scale independent business into co-operative. 

Expand tea plantation...Plant more tea.... Ceylon tea.

Expand seafood industry....Export more seafood.... especially crabs😂

Take over all major industries with GLCs. 

Invest in commercial, hospitality properties.... upgrade tourism sector. 

Make it a tax haven and allow financial sector to flourish, pulling funds from South Asia and Indochina. 

Develop public housing 

Develop private residential for those in middle income group from these different industries and sectors. 

Open the lower cost labour (but skilled labour) to SG. 😂😂

we should buy a piece of Australia. They have too much empty land and We buy a piece use it as backup. What if one day someone wants to attack us, where do we run to? 

Aust will sell us their outback.

Not sure how is this rated.

But after my trip to NYC, I felt we are a long distance away from NYC.

a lot more cheaper than NYC? 

Definitely.

I think Tohto mentioned previously, 30 minutes parking cost $9

[Macrosszero]

I wouldn’t solely use parking fees as a factor to judge that New York City is more expensive. Parking in most major cities are horrendously expensive be it New York, Sydney or Hong Kong, whereas there is plentiful free parking in the suburbs. Most people who work in the CBD would take the subway to get to work, even mid-management types.

One piece of Cat B COE can buy quite a lot of parking…

I think no country can compete against us for private car ownership cost.  😁 Ours really no horse run.

On 1 hand, we can remove COE and jam until kee siao.

On the other hand, we can have COE like lucky draw.  A lot of ppl may not even have the chance to own a car.

Don't try to be complicated.

I believe some dead person said it is to deter corruption.

You don't want Sg to be like MY right?

😜

We just leave the COE out of the picture.

Compare food price, public transport including Uber, house rental.. everything here become so cheap.

I am now in Tokyo. If you compare their normal shop food against ours, I think here in Japan is slightly cheaper and better quality. ¥1,000+ set we won't be able to match. Of course they don't have our hawker centers.
