Repent, sinners, if thou shalt vote for the opposition

I think the days of writing on MNC must be over. There is no chance there. Electronic peripherals and components are razor thin in profit and is easily transportable to elsewhere.

We wanted Swiss Standards in living - measuring in terms of GDP and/or Per Capita Income. I think , we should emulate the Swiss Mentality. They have strong-holds in many products :

1) Precision Machineries
2) Watches / Clocks
3) Food , and Beverages .. Nestle , Chocolates
4) Banks ,
5) Insurance / Re-insurances
6) Building Materials / Home accessories ,
7) Sports Goods , and the list goes on.

So , what do we have : -

1) Building Townships / JTC Type Factories
2) Water - Recycling Water
3) Oil & Gas Platforms / Rigs
4) Ports & Ports Management ( Compete with Li Ka Shing ? )
5) Oil Refineries
6) Drugs Manufacturings ,
7) Educations , ....

What we have ( and we do have ) is kinda cyclical. What we need to produce is Stable stuffs , perhaps , more high end stuffs ,
Any out of the box ideas ?

I kind of like one of SDP Tan Jee Say's ideas from his manifesto "ideas for change" of seeding 10,000 budding enterprenuers giving them each $1mil seed capital to support their business ideas for a total of $10 billion. Each of these budding enterprenuers will in turn hire 20-30 local staffs. Assuming a failure rate of 50% that's only $5 billion wasted. But up to 100,000 people could get hired in knowledge based or services related companies, the hope is a small number of from this 10,000 could in time grow to reach international level like facebook or youtube or even like microsoft. and hopefully these would in turn spin off other companies and over a few decades we could have a viable knowledge based industry
