Population growth is such a joke
-
I don't want to talk about the economic reasons now or overcrowding, I am more interested in the enviornmental impact. I heck care about the GDP or the aging population now.
As more people come in, more trash is generated, our water demands go up, our eletricity demands go up, our transport demands go up, and I simply wonder how on Earth is the government going to meet those demands?
What if we used up our land fill? Do we need to dig somemore, somewhere? Can NeWater meet our water demands and still remain affordable for the poorest resident of Singapore? Can our energy plant meet the population demands without building a nuclear plant? Can the transport companies meet our demands? Can the government meet our housing demands?

Is this your holiday homework?

ok, be a little serious here The truth is, there isn't enough for everyone, not even for sustainable growth. So, the countries that are currently starving and poor will always forever be starving and poor--the food, resources all have been bought away by the rich nations to feed themselves

:lol: And in a way, this a balanced world

Capitalism can be bad....anything extreme can be bad.
The question then is as a Democratic Socialistic country. Has Singapore swayed too far right?

- 1 trillion = 1000 billion or 1000 000 million
- taking into account 6% interest per year (u can easily get 6% returns most get 10% +)
- 1 million x 0.06 = $60,000 per year interest alone
- $60,000 divide by 12 = $5000 per month
$5000 per month on just 1 million dollars.
1 trillion = 1 million million
in the hands of 85 people
This is why capitalism can be bad.
edit :- They have more $ than the bottom half of the world's population. Imagine... a world working for a few people the day you are born.

I agree mr clive
But its better to know for the younger generation. So that they are aware. At the end of the day everyone is equal....but during your stay on planet earth or planet singapore....think carefully for your future son/daughter. What sort of Singapore do you want it to be.
