Singapore received many workers from China during the past two decades. The conventional wisdom is that Singapore offered better job opportunities and pay to these worker, compared to China.
Lately, I observed the prosperity and the job opportunities that are available in the cities in China. These opportunities are as good or better than those available in Singapore,
Why do these workers choose to work in Singapore, when they have the opportunities in China?
I think that I have the answer. This is my guess.

An unfriendly country in terms of accommodation. Slippery Ministers and self-serving.
The real goal should be reduced government spending, rather than balanced budgets achieved by ever rising tax rates to cover ever rising spending.
It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.

If people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that difference, and choose their news sources accordingly. Thomas Sowell
The first lesson of economics is scarcity: there is never enough of anything to fully satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics.
