future is unpredictable
Good future is all I can predict..
Singapore will be one of the most advance country in Asia, with smart nation technology and there will be clean high yielding industries and farm in the heart land areas, so people don't have to travel to work, but are highly deployable... haha
more foreigners coming in, more locals choosing to live abroad. sad truth and i think it will happen
Encik Zulkifli, you are the most senior by far, apart from FireIce, here in the forum. Goes without saying how much you have seen Singapore changed in the past decade itself.. Everything is changing rapidly... This tiny red dot is getting overwhelmed!!!
Singapore will likely contain to be a big financial capital, and will likely continue to grow (especially considering high economic growth in region)

INTERNET ADDICTION - SYMPTOMS, SIGNS, TREATMENT
By Dr. Brent Conrad
Clinical Psychologist for TechAddiction

In many ways the Internet allows us to be more productive and actually saves us a lot of time as we carry out our various day-to-day tasks. For example, it is much more efficient to do our banking online compared to actually going to a physical bank. Catching up with old friend on the other side of the world is only a click away. Renting a movie no longer requires a trip to a video store (and late fees for an overdue return).
Unfortunately, excessive use of the Internet can significantly interfere with functioning in other areas of life such as relationships, education, work, physical heath, and emotional well-being. When going online is your number one priority (whether for gaming, chatting, shopping, gambling, pornography, etc.) and you no longer participate in life outside of the virtual world, Internet Addiction may be a problem you need to address.

Singapore and India have finally found one thing in common. Over half of the citizens in both the countries can’t spend half a day, or 12 hours, without the internet. The survey was done by Tata Communications, the mobile and internet service-providing arm of the biggest Indian conglomerate, Tata Industries.

SINGAPORE GRAPPLES WITH SMARTPHONE ADDICTION
By Stefanus IAN

Easily distracted? Can't be separated from your smartphone? Constantly checking your device for no real reason? Chances are you're an addict -- and you may even need professional help.
Psychiatrists in Singapore are pushing for medical authorities to formally recognise addiction to the Internet and digital devices as a disorder, joining other countries around the world in addressing a growing problem.

As a non-Singaporean living in SG, I think Singaporeans have a lot to be thankful for, esp. the social order and lack of corruption. For all that most of the young generation view th PAP as insular, I think they've done a good job (so far).
Whether or not more political discourse and opposition is better I think is not as important as whether the general populace are sufficiently well educated and forward thinking on both sides (both incumbent and oppo).
And i hope the US or Malaysian style partisanship and obstructionism doesn't become a thing in my adopted home ever.
LOL
But for all the progress and development, there's something I do feel is really lacking compared to others. It's the people / culture. The people aren't very laid back. They are not easy going, which is a way of life that is pervasive in places like HK.
People are just not as happy. Life is stressful. I don't feel it's a happy place for most people. And I feel it has a lot of it has to do with the inherent inequality in the Singaporean society.
IMO, this is one of the things if it eases up, will make SG a lot more perfect.
