  Less immigrants....Its is also the reason why MAS fiercely regulates our currency. To keep it strong

  Less immigrats means less vietnamese, china and india brides for us men.

  I think singapore should stop being dependent on the US dollar.

  I see signs of them actually trying to solve this dependency problem, Buy up banks like merryl Lynch and Lehman
