SG is a very small island state. We can only move with dexterity, small means must be agile, efficient, and useful. That way, we can evade the dangers of corporate capture and leverage what we can.

Corporations love working with authoritarians. The more power hungry these leaders are, the easier it is for companies to push for laws and rules that benefits them.

On the surface, it seem to give power to the elected leaders, but in truth, it only help corporations consolidate power and monopolize. Take Big tech for example, they all welcomed more regulations under the guise of public safety. To have oversight in information, content and censorship. The smaller players, who lack the financial means or resources, are effectively pushed out of the market due to these regulations.

In another words, there's no scapegoat for the current world order. There's only dismantling, resetting and cutting fats.

Our Government is getting too big, they are creating too many ministries, creating too many positions and departments, while doing too little.

Not efficient or agile at all. With rising cost of living, the recent MRT failure, money laundering cases, corruption cases, a healthcare industry under corporate capture. This cannot continue.

On top of that, we are facing a decline in childbirth, increasing unemployment, a looming estate bubble, insurance insolvency and aging population.

I'm not asking for zero regulations, but a smaller, efficient and agile government. Is this asking too much? I don't know, I'm an uneducated man.

When we already have so many MPs and all the many different tiers of civil servants under the Ministries, yet we still have the 5 super JLBs Mayors that majority don't know wtf exactly they do productively that deserves such an astronomical salary.......
Maybe they have roles to do. Maybe the problem is we have too many part time leaders, too little full time ones. I don't know.

They must be doing invisible tasks only visible to those elites in staying high up in their ivory towers.
