We can bring in another few million people and we will still have enough land to build more ugly building blocks to house them. Sure, no problem. We have even more land overseas to train our boys, I mean borrowed land, or leased land. What if the political climate changes? What if our friendly countries got moneywise and want us to pay more for training our boys in their land? And what if we run out of goodwill and borrowed land and have to bring our boys back, and train them in our own land? Would our boys be jumping from one HDB block to another as part of their training?
In our pursuit for more heads for growth, we have used up practically every inch of land we have for all things, including training young men. Can we count on other countries to be always friendly and willing to let us train in their land? It is a possibility that no one will want us one day and we will be truly fixed.
We need to conserve our land and stop the relentless building programme by filling them up with more buildings to house more people. We are painting ourselves into a corner when land is concerned.

ReplyDeleteThe sky's the limit till the Tower of Babel comes falling down.
ReplyDeleteWho said we have limited land? The land value is still quite low lah. Just look at the landed properties, their demand is still under control by the government and the market prices are still way below the actual land value. A hanging in the sky apartment can sell at more than $1,000 per sq ft. Can you find a landed property sold at that unit price? It is clearly underpriced. It is still a right time to buy one before it is too late.
ReplyDeleteYeah, plenty of land. Can live underground too, if they say so.
