They never didThey only know how to prostitute singapore - by offering the lowest corporate tax, having a legal system which enables borderline exploitation of workers, no minimum wage, unlimited E-passes so that foreigners can increase job competition, suppress wages and cause asset inflation. This is the easy way out but any government who tries this in a proper democracy would immediately be voted out by its citizens. The 4G leaders have NO IDEA how to run singapore. They use POFMA and accusations of racism to silence dissent. People are obviously unhappy with their policies which disadvantage true blue singaporeans and favour foreigners and the elite.
It is unfortunate that singaporeans are brainwashed by 160 and their education system. The majority are politically apathetic yet turn up to vote for compulsory elections. There is no hope for the citizens of this country.
LKY just mindlessly raise Singapore to standards close to the West but when Singapore CANNOT do cheap factory jobs and cheap labour jobs anymore and Singapore too small to earn tourist dollars, PAP is stuck
