yeah but shouldn't they also follow govt actions ... Outsource to India or get cheap FT to do the job. Then all Singaporeans do is stay poor and be out of job loh... wait for a old person to pass away and take over the toilet cleaning job
Seriously singapore is too small to support a full blown construction industry.
we don't have enough land for much development anways.. sg should focus on whats really good and the main skill sets. Then go develop them. The scatter shot method the govt is going makes me feel so uncomfotable.
Let me put it this way, india has cheap and very good world class medical centers and biomeds institutions. China as alternative meds all this time and over the years scientifically proven their meds. S'pore only now then wanna booast the meds industry... give it a couple of yrs and India will over take us and lots of biomed students will be left high and dry...
Anyways, i feel the vision is so myopic and unrealistic. Obviously they don't know what is Porter's 5 forces and what these people doing when they attend seminars from Edward De Bono, Michael Porter or all those thousand dollar seminars.
