Bad idea, short term gain but long term bad, especially if the ah tiong allowed to come and buy up everything.

Imho finance this type of thing is double edge sword, needs to be tightly regulated.

Quite a strong signal from the government to support PMET moving to other sectors (a $4,000 monthly wage support). It is a scheme which is capable of supporting workers for about 2 years as they transit to other industries. To me, it is similar to 2009 labour's Policy which our govt utilized to stem unemployment ( and the dangers of a lack of working income)

More support for PMETs, especially mature workers: Lim Swee Say

SINGAPORE: With professionals, managers, executives and technicians (PMETs) expected to face job, skill and wage mismatches in the current economy, Manpower Minister Lim Swee Say provided more details on how the government would enhance its Adapt and Grow initiative to support this group, including those who have been unemployed for a longer period of time. The Adapt and Grow initiative was announced during Budget 2016, to help PMETs looking for new jobs.

I bet you'll feel different watching it.
Similar but not the same FEELING, right?

These are big, game changing moves that China is making. Singapore is not part of any OBOR plans. In this aspect, China has recently inked numerous cooperation with Malaysia, and the air defense and radar system mentioned in the article. There were also rumours of a Kra-Isthmus canal to be built in Thailand that will allow ships sailing between Straits of Malacca and South China Sea to by-pass Singapore. Seems like China is intent on securing its shipping network and thereby, removing an unfriendly Singapore which is viewed potential threat to this equation.

I thought this to be quite a serious matter. Will this be the start of a long-term decline for Singapore?

For one, Thailand was also mentioned as 1 of the other 3 ASEAN countries with their highest leader not invited. If it is not the Chinese not liking the junta, then one should be "slightly" assured that the isthmus of kra route isnt part of the OBOR (for now)

a lot of things are needed to ensure the success of OBOR infrastructure projects, a high risk high gain plan, still singapore needs to find a way to make itself relevant and useful to this changing world, otherwise the only consolation is the huge reserves that could help to slow down the long-term decline of singapore.

well i think eventually, the US or Japan will make approaches to counter China's balance in this region, not in a war type way, but through economic pressures or by trade..
