Well, the government seems like the more our population hit the 600 million target, the more our economy will grow.
Right and wrong!
Singapore is not a self producer of food and natural resources country.We largely depend on other countries for food and natural resources.
The current 'reduce rice export' saga was an example.
If our government is not going to do something on this,
it's a time bomb waiting to explode once the time is ripe.
Everything is already on the rise.The pressure is on us the lower income group.If our population is going to hit the 600 million mark, what if there is one day every country stop exporting food and natural resources to us?What if even our own neighbour Malaysia stop exporting to us?Rice price is going to shootup.
Everything going to shootup.Can our food reserve able to support the 600 million people?Think about it!
