Have u realised what they are trying to do by associating themselves with China and perhaps India?
Its because if singapore becomes a another mini China or India , FT will feel right at home and as a result witll stay. The culture is found here. Smart move but setbacks will still happen. like eg. refusal to contribute to NS. refusal in producing children due to the other reasons like high cost of fliving.
your analogy are bad.it dont work that way bro.
