Right now, the only sector pulling us forward seems to be the bricks and mortar sector, with MRT extension, airport expansion and a new housing enclave springing up around Mount Pleasant among others. You can see the amount of digging and excavation going on around just about every street and corner, some looking like a war zone, especially along the construction of the Cross Island Line route.
I am not too sure the building of more MRT Lines can alleviate the overcrowding problem on trains and in MRT stations, some of which are already serious bottlenecks catering to the morning crowd. Complaints have been registered about huge crowds at Bishan and Hougang Stations with commuters unable to even board successive trains that were already bursting at the seams. Merging stations as places for commuters to change to multiple lines is causing even graver situations arising during the morning rush hour.
I just feel the problem getting worse but let us leave it to the planners how to overcome the overcrowded trains and stations, since they said they have plans for a ten million population.

More and more people are choosing not to have children or getting married. Life in Singapore is getting more stressful and difficult for citizens. Children are facing more and more pressure due to the education system, and I pity them having to cope with so much pressure instead of enjoying just a few years of childhood.
Life will never be the same again. Prosperity is just a cover for misery under the surface.
