singaporeans can read that. in singapore. we can access the rsf.org website too.

those votes have every chance of changing everything.

its a first past the post system.

but fact is they always have majority of the popular vote. i dont think it ever declined below 55%. and at best they get 60+%.

there's always a large proportion of singaporeans who want the change. just never enough of them, yet. and maybe there might never be, if most singaporeans are happy with things as they stand.

the modus operandi is to live and work, and maybe raise and educate ur kids in singapore. and go jb kl bkk hcmc jkt or wherever else to play.

Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Jakarta

jb?

e: oh, Johor Bahru, interesting

and theres no shortage of well educated malaysian chinese running away from bumi policies...

wrt the age demographics...

1.theres a constant supply of malaysian chinese who want to migrate to singapore. they're the best, cos they're culturally similar.

2.failing that,a few taiwanese or china chinese can also be allowed to immigrate. singapore is small, and china is huge. only need a few..

wrt living costs.. if u stick to govt subsidised housing(hdb),(public) transport,(hawker) food and healthcare, u shld be spending less as a % of income than the rest of asean on those things. but singaporeans want more, and leave in droves on trips overseas at every opportunity....

> but singaporeans want more, and leave in droves on trips overseas at every opportunity....

Probably because, as the title of the article states, Singapore isn't cool.

Singapore is small enough to kick the can down the road, but it’s still not sustainable to depend on immigration from other places that also have below replacement TFR

bombardier sold most of their aircraft models though? the regional jets (to airbus, yes?) and the turboprops... and only make business jets now?

even embraer at one point wanted to sell their ejets? boeing backed out of buying or something?

and fokker and dornier are gone for good while the japs terminated their mitsubishi spacejet..

i thought now is the time they start going about cutting prices as AI subtitling reduces their costs..

u can not-tax the first property...

i thought most economists would agree that consumption should be encouraged and savings should be discouraged. and that'd be how progressive taxes work? people tend to save more and consume less as their incomes increase?

wait. the tests are done on paper or done on computers?
