Who caused these problems?

To many Singaporeans, there is no problems in Singapore. Everything is just fine. We are the best in many things, the 4th best country in the world, desired by people paid on company expenses to live here. Foreigners are queuing up to come here and if they can’t get in, they will pay to smuggle themselves in, legally or illegally.

Then there are some corners of the island there are voices complaining about so many problems. Let’s hear the problems.

1. Wide income gap

2. High property prices

3. High cost of living

4. High prices of cars

5. High medical fees

6. Jams and congestion

7. PMETs having unemployment problems

8. Lack of local talents

9. Lack of babies

10. Too many oldies

11. Not enough savings for retirements

12. Not enough good people going into politics and the best is just so so.

13. Not enough talents in finance, medicine and legal services

14. Too many foreigners

15. Transportation problems

16. Housing problems

17. Not enough hospitals

18. Oldies need to work in their 70s and older.

19. Some more problems?

I don’t believe that I could list out so many major problems within a couple of minutes. Are they real or imaginary?

If these problems are real, who caused them? Did we pay too much to too many super talents to have these problems?
