why did liu thai ker again bring up this 10m population again? do you agree with how he thinks?

[ninjaghost]

Don't know if really a honest opinion or “人在江湖，身不由己” view on behalf of specific entity.

Its abt stacking upwards like 50 storey HDBs and integrated facilities like Our Tampines Hub.
From a planning perspective, there are merits, but the costs will be prohibitive. For example, the water to support 10mil ppl can only be obtained at desalinated water prices.

like HK, if lift spoil, have to sleep at void deck.

Our island may not be tahan this scale of building... The ground leveling tend to shift here and there.. Just look at our road, it is getting more tilted, moreover SG is not many meters above sea level, it can make mega ponding a more frequently recurring events

Precisely, and definitely it is much easier for someone who stays in a GCB with a huge sizeable garden to say all this. He's not staying in 60sqm HDB, working in merely a metre wide cubicle, talking in the phone as if in a fish market, and smelling the armpits of 100s of thousands of communters in public transports everyday.

I ish going to regard thish as the govt use him to put test balloon.
Regardless the public stand of the govt.
Regardless govt said he ish not speaking for govt.

This is particularly so, given the city-state's need to ramp up economic growth to keep pace with neighbouring countries that are progressing faster than before.

On Tuesday, Dr Liu pointed to Singapore being located between China, India and Indonesia - three of the largest countries in the world now making tremendous progress.

His concern was that Singapore was sinking into complacency when it in fact needs an even sharper and more distinct "crisis mentality" today than it had in its early years of independence, in order to stay on a par with or ahead of its Asian neighbours.

Need to 'Ramp Up'.
Need to 'Crisis mentality'.

Classic low ses behavior of towkays lobbying for population ponzi.
By using narrative of crisis and disaster.
To scared pple into giving him what he wants.

He want Sg to compete economically with China, India and Indonesia with population growth?
Chiu all ownself better ownself think if thish guy ish have brain damange.

"If you plan for more and we don't reach that number, then Singapore will be very spacious," the former foreign minister added. "Whereas if you plan for fewer, and because of the nature of things - not everything is within our control - the population grows more than we anticipated, then it will be very crowded."

2012 when mrt kept breaking down, chiu all kenna trapped in stations and trains, the population then was what?
Did that fweel spacious then?

Probably he is the vanguard dog for the gahmen flying test balloon to see if the sinkie will now accept the higher population target or not as compared to the uproar during the population white paper in 2013.

 

[NastyTruthSG]

by then our country will be named as sinkapore because really sink into the sea
