What u think will happen to Singapore
-
in the next 10 years?
ERP higher rate?
Chicken rice 4 bucks?
GST 8 percent?
-
Singaporeans must have low salaries to remain competitive.
Ministers must have high salaries to remain competitive.
-
no. everything will be back to normal. encomic will be good like it has never been before.
but within the next 5 years, the will be a terrible diease spreading more deadly then SARS. trust me.
-
gst 8? nah.. more likely 10% round off.. easier to count... +service charge, 10% total 20% loh
nice figure. dun need to use 5 cent anymore.
-

With lee hsien loong and PAP around, you will be assured that there will be more and more price hiking. More earning of money at the expense of the people of Singapore. More undeserved high obscene pay for the despots. More rubbish from lee hsien loong.

1) PM's pay will be 5.3 Million and peasant's pay will stay stagnant or reduced to remain competitive.
2) 3/4 of the population will be PRs and 1/4 Singaporeans. Singapore's population would hit 6.5 Million to boost the economy.
3) Lee Hong Yi steps into politics.
4) 5 room HDB flats would hit $750K per unit on average. The young can no longer afford their own home. Or they will either slog out and use 30-50% of their monthly income to pay for their loans.
5) Our labour force will switch more to servicing instead of manufacturing. Become more like a tourist attraction country. We have 2 IRs and lots of retail shops for tourists, PRs and Singaporeans alike to spend.
6) Hydroelectric cars are introduced. More cars on the road. ERP per entry hits $5-$7. Road tax and COE all increase.
7) GST increased to 10-15%.
8) Corporate and personal income taxes go down.
9) Birth rates hit to historical lowest.
10) Full accountability of investments from GIC and Temasek made known to public. There will be internal audit of the finances of the country. (hopfully i get to see this)
All these are just my guesstimates and are based on assumptions. If I can predict the future, would be quite cool. lol! I would be "head-hunted" by the government.

so normal people will not have pay rise?
the starting pay of people 10 years ago is the same as the starting pay of people now?

Normal people? Then what about the handicap?
-
I hope it rots to the bottom of the South China Sea.
-
PRC will relocate their factories here.
No language problem.
Workforce cheaper, better skilled and disciplined.
More stringent control on quality, i.e. no melamine.
Prestige of the Singapore label. "Great Wall" singlets - Made in Singapore under licence.
-
So this thread is talking about individual's prediction?
-
Sorry, I just asked a stupid question.
OK, Singapore will have more oppositions in parliament upon the demise of LKY.

In Japan a totaly handicapped person gets about US$1,000 a month from the adult age of 20 for the rest of his/her life.Can Singapore even try to match that instead of paying millions to politicians for the rest of their lives? -

Good question.
Depends on your profession and skills set. If you can be easily replaced by India or China people, your wages will continue to be competitive. We will be seeing more influx of foreigners 10 yrs down the road.
Just my personal prediction.
-
with the IR up n running
Higher crime rates - not too safe to be out in the late night
more pros in the streets

All these are beginning to sound more and more like Animal Farm by George Orwell...xD
The pigs, smarter and higher ranking, eat more and get paid more while the other poor animals slough their life out.
The old ones will get slaughtered or disappear mysteriously. That includes dissidents. Of course, the ones doing these acts are the dogs...xD

Predicted price of proposal ring will be $300k minimum lor.
Don't forget, property value will also be booming in the next 10 years. Good time to sell your properties to bangalah who have slogged and saved together with their pinoy girlfriends.
Or maybe PRC will be buying over your properties and driving you out of your own homes.
Or you need to auction for a licence to own a car. No more COE already.
Or government will be driving out all the poor, weak, useless, sick, jobless, low educated, non-scholar or considered talented Singaporeans out of Singapore and retaining and branding those smart and talented people as the future Singaporeans.
Maybe there will be alot more shopping malls than HDB flats. Maybe there will be more condominum than HDB flats.
I think in another 10 years time, only the rich and talented people can afford to live and survive in Singapore. Alot of people in sgforums will be posting threads from their overseas kampungs.

over populated with PRC
