  Inventions and stuffs needs unrestricted creativity. There is no doubt that the average FTs and serfs will continue to pour into Singapore, but would it lead to a better standard of living for Singapore? Ultimately, with all these average joes and serfs, we will end up as a 3rd world factory.

  Unlike other countries, singapore and the gahmen cannot provide the sort of environment for certain specialty and creativity. Sometimes creativity can be restricted by $$$, you know the gahmen!!!
  
  Last year, come across this PC guy who came to fix the PC for me, told me the reason he will be leaving for UK for study is because there is no local university offering the marine engineering course he will be pursuing in UK. He said he won't come back as he will be working with the company that is sponsoring him for the course in UK. He does not see any prospect in Singapore. Thus he asks the mum to move to UK, too.

  Besides the above, like I mentioned before, they love to get doctors to join them. Doctors are well trained medically but as for management/managing people, hardly anyone of them can do well. My cousin who works in the govt hospital keeps complaining doctors are difficult to work with, as they are not trained in management so they have unrealistic expectations for the work to be done. They think that just by "pushing the button" they will get what they want. They don't understand the management process.
  
  Thus explains why we have ministers/MP who can't reach down to the level of common people. Failure in its own sense! Laughable! Just because one was awarded scholarship does not mean he has the cut/calibre of that of a minister/MP. Whatever they decide and do are "perfect"!!!!! They really have bad choice that's all I can say.
