Wow! Do remind us of this come 2024/2025.

There is a headline in today’s ST saying “Businesses committed to Singaporean core but cannot be anti-foreigner”. A more appropriate attitude should be “Businesses need foreigners but cannot neglect the Singaporean core”.

In his NY msg, PM said “whether Spore manages to become a vibrant economy and resilient society will depend on its people”. That’s only half the story. The other half depends on the Govt changing its current set of policies.
