DR LIU THAI KER’S VIEW ON POPULATION GROWTH
Forget seven million. Think ten million people, if you want this city-state to succeed. That’s the bold suggestion of Dr Liu Thai Ker, often credited as the architect of modern Singapore.

1) This is exactly the money-centric and myopic PAP definition of 'success'.
2) This old architect probably wouldn't be alive to witness and enjoy the 'success' once Singapore hits 10 million population. :rolleyes:
Quote:
Currently senior director of RSP Architects & Engineers as well as the founding chairman of the Centre for Liveable Cities, Dr Liu, 76, has some ideas although he declines to be drawn into a discussion of what the city will look like when it hits the magic 10-million mark – it would be too “irresponsible”, he says.
Indeed... as irresponsible as your PAP masters in their urban planning. ;)
Quote:
Ultimately, for Singapore to remain sovereign, it must plan for the long haul. The 10-million figure is just a start. “If we plan for anything less than that, I just feel that we will be sorry.
If you're struggling and using drastic measures to stay sovereign, perhaps sovereignty isn't a great thing after all. It's like clinging onto life on your deathbed while plugged into a life support machine. Perhaps it is time to let go. Think about it.
