Thirty years ago, Singapore was quite productive. We do not take a long time to commute to work. The government took the initiative to implement changes to work processes. Activities were carried out quickly, with minimal hassle.
It is a different situation today. We have become quite unproductive. We spend a lot of time to commute to work and return home. When the train breaks down, half a day could be gone.
We also have complicated processes that took a lot of time to handle. We are not able to use the Internet well to improve the work processes. In many cases, we spend more time on online processes than on submitting manual returns.
We are obsessed with security and introduce many layers of work, quite often when they are unnecessary.
To make matters worse, our cost of doing business is now among the highest in the world. For the time being, our economy is being sustained by high property prices, which create the illusion that many people are wealthy.
How long can this situation continue? Will we wake up one day to a collapsed economy that takes a few decades to recover?
