The PAP had an ulterior motive when it tried to build the SIP. It saw it as an opportunity to replicate the "Singapore model" and hope that it would spawn all over China. China gave the PAP a lesson by building a real cheap industrial park nearby, and LKY started to cry that the" emperor up north" wasn't listening to him. Of course, that's pretty offensive, and soon China took over the management entirely. So SIP as a Singapore experiment was a total failure.

Those who want to argue that the sun rises from the west, let them be, everyone know the sun rises from the east.
i just want to reply----> haha
TS always never fail to amuse me by his Pro- government threads.
Go ahead and support them. Migrate to singapore.
Oh I forget even if he is here is still consider a FT! Oh forget what I say, waste my time.
The investment claim of US$147 million set forth by the government just does not stand up to logic or analysis. For 6-7 years they spent US$147 million, which is equivalent to US$21 million a year. To develop infrastructure and construct buildings an area (70 sq km) the size of 10% of Singapore. If you based it on the cost of construction of HDB flats in Singapore, say arbitrarily US$60,000 for 1 unit of 3-4 room flat, a 10 storey flat with 10 apartments in each level would cost US$6 million per building. US$21 million a year would translate to 3.5 buildings a year, this amount does not even include the infrastructural works (roads, communication lines, electrical framework) in the Suzhou Industrial Park.
10% of Singapore would roughly be equal to Ang Mo Kio GRC + Aljunied GRC + Tampines GRC. Just visualise 21 buildings standing on 3 of these GRCs after 7 years.
TS n PRC dogs said yes,we just follow loh!!!
Let them earn a living,pls!!!
