Predict the future of SG in 50-60 years time
-
50year LHL can still be living?Originally posted by Darkness_hacker99:SDP and PAP will be the two domineering parties in Singapore. Both will be fighting fiercely.
GST will be up to 13%
Cost of living will be higher as compare to today.
Dr CSJ as PM
LHL as MM
Now he how old liao?
But if he healthy until can hit 100+ i nth to say la. -
On the serious side-
A coalition government with PAP holding minority seats.
On the weird side-Brunei,Malaysia & Singapore becomes one country?
(just talking c0ck) -
Next 50 years is tiny short.
I think 1 more family can give present to singapore for another 50 years.
There is such a proof.
Just apply the same style can last another 100 years also can if want to. Just enhance and innovate on existing formula lor. Congratulations one and all for being so privileged to be served by such rare gems of geniuses oe after another. Thanks to the Majority. Without their effort there is no 50 years. PERIOD. -
In 50-60 years time, those still around after posting here will be drinking longkang water. All of coastal reclaimed land will be the new beach-front for bay watch. The Lee dynasty will have ended. WP will become Witch Party and PAP become Piss All People.
CSJ and SDP sympathisers will also be gone because none of them wants to live beyond 85. These people want their CPF monies at 55 to get another C - coffin. -
Another 5 Cs:
1. CPF
2. COE
3. Cashcard
4. Compulsory Annuity
5. Competition from FT
feel free to add... -
the communists will take over and our full name will become The People's Republic of Singapore

hmmmm
Bintan and Batam will under SG flag .. we will then begin reclaimation to expand
1/2 of the population would be 'new' immigrants -
I predict that in 50 years time it is still possible for the familee members to be running SG. This means familee for 100 years in a row.
Why I confident of so? The MAJORITY gives me the confidence. They regardless of anything policy, no problem wan.
But to be fair, its even more possible that another family name person will be running SG. The longer the time horizon for prediction, the less likely the probability of continuation.
Ultimately, it depends on the people. They have ensured 50 years or so. That is long time too. Thus , it is still possible for 100 years.
UK has proven, this is possible.
George Bush has proven, despite whatever, he wins 2 elections in a row, the most elections in a row allowed. He will go down in history, UNDEFEATED. -
In the next 50 years, the parliament will , I humbly predict, still only have 2 opposition seats. Why?
The existing system has proven so effective that the winner can apply the same way of 'managing' SG that only 2 opposition are capable of competing. I mean, the next winner will have the same millionaire talents all employed to run for him and the opposition got no millions to employ the bestest best to run against him. And many other ways of 'best practice' 'management' styles can be used to control the direction the SG is heading. Got good role models and examples and systems like COE, ERP , annuity etc to reference mah. So, I predict that although, 'unfortunately', there is a chance that the winner may not be of the same family tree, he will continue to reign the same way as the current world champions and using the proven systems and models, only 2 opposition seats will exist in the next 50 years.
Congratulations, everyone, 50 years into the future should cover all our lifespans. So, no need think further than next 50 years. LIFE is short. Dun make decisions that you will regret at the death bed. -
End of the Lee Dynasty.
Grim future for the local peasants.
More poor-rich disparity.
PRCs to amount to 15-20% of the population.
but hopefully a more Democratic society. -
Are you aware the UK's two longest serving prime ministers (Tony Blair for Labour and Margaret Thatcher for the Conservatives) served no longer than 22 years combined? In case you're wondering, these two PM's represent the only 2 parties to have ever formed the government in the UK.Originally posted by reddressman:Ultimately, it depends on the people.

Now, talk about a democratic framework permitting some rogues to serve for half a lifetime - is that really a flaw of an unbiased electorate or the masterpiece of some despots to entrench themselves in power? -
- After PAP weakens (post-LKY), puppets will be installed in the govt by foreign powers who have vested interest in obtaining unhampered access to our man-made resources (incl reserves).. it'll be easy considering how tightly monopolised everything already is, all they have to do is wait to cast their net.
- LKY will be revered as Singapore's sole saviour despite much evidence suggesting otherwise, and turned into another ironic Sir-Stamford-Raffles-type statue.
- very high concentration of expats/foreigners vs native Singaporeans, as well as a class divide, like in Dubai
- unlike in Dubai, SG citizens will not be "1st class"... they are not automatically protected by an intricate welfare system... so eventually, citizens belonging to the middle class & below will be pushed even lower to form 3rd, 4th & 5th classes
That's all I can think of now.

They get to be the king by virtue of being an offspring. that is so wonderful.
as to you say it is a flaw. Well, I do not think there is a flaw. The People have the chance to decide every 5 years. For the last near 50 years, the majority never not support them. Thus what u see today. Good or Bad is not for me to decide. YOU guys decide.
Many people enjoy a slow warming bath. -
I suppose that's as valid as saying the Chinese Communist Party, Korean Workers' Party and the Burmese Junta are governments of choice in the PRC, DPRK and Myanmmar respectively, since there isn't any sort of movement in place to oust their governments?Originally posted by reddressman:sorry for confusing you.

How much shallower can an argument get. -

if all voters vote against WP, will it not lose?Originally posted by walesa:I suppose that's as valid as saying the Chinese Communist Party, Korean Workers' Party and the Burmese Junta are governments of choice in the PRC, DPRK and Myanmmar respectively, since there isn't any sort of movement in place to oust their governments?

if all voters vote for PAP, will it not win?
this is what I mean. Nothing else.
People are given a choice. They chosed it. -

You know, your argument is akin to saying if someone got robbed at gunpoint, the victim shouldn't deserve any sympathy because he had a choice in the course of robbery and had chosen to cede his valuables instead of risking his life for freedom. Shouldn't the robber then be exonerated from all blame?Originally posted by reddressman:if all voters vote against WP, will it not lose?

Your whole argument would hold and make perfect sense if you had free and fair elections where every candidate could leverage on the same platform to run their campaign - surely, elements like gerrymandering, coercion and intimidation and having a press ranked 154th in the world for press freedom espousing propaganda in favour of the despots in power hardly render the elections free and fair, do they? In that case, should a misinformed and misled electorate end up putting a bunch of tyrants back in power, you can't say they have made an informed choice, can you? -

I prophesize a great rebellion led by the people...
It will be known as the Fight for Freedom; and Singapore will become a warzone. Armed militants against the conscripted army, the civil war will last a for a period of 15 years. The Fight for Freedom will be a success at a heavy price.
The economy will suffer a major recession, and there will be a lot of foreign bodies trying to take advantage of the situation. Peace and stability will be lacking for a period of time, there will be plundering and worse crimes among the people.
Soon, the leaders of the great rebellion will take over and order will be restored. I can only pray that the freedom fighters will not become the oppressors. -
50 yrs later, mee bok mai hiam, mai ti, mai giam, mai bak, mai cai, mai fishball, mai lard, mai teng.....how much ? -

I think the both of you are writing the same point of view from different angles.
If I interprete correctly, he is of the opinion that the electorate has a choice but chose the "misinformed" choice and your statement is a continuation of his, saying that the "misinformed" choice was made for various reasons.
However, let's take the recent-infamous case of Burma or Myanmar. Despite even worse political conditions, the NLD led by Aung San Suu Kyi defeated the miltary-backed SPDC at the polls, which led to the latter using its might to disregard the results.
