"Please note that topical to the previous discussion on this thread, Singapore is practically ALL middle class."

And has an ironman leader who is dedicated to it. Which seems to my challenged mind to strongly suggest that if there is a government which is dedicated to that end, it can and will be achieved. I know Singapore only from a few articles that I have (usually hastily) read over the years, so would like to hear from more knowledgeable threadheads about what costs (political, social) this "practically all middle class" Asian country may have paid for its status.

hi Steve, yes, Singapore is ALL middle class <vbg>. Well, there are benefits to a social engineered technocratic one party state. Quite a contrast to the HK freeform [ok, so one should pay some lip service to the old men to the North <g>, but not a bad price to pay]

Its defense budget probably is a good investment, one has to wonder how much money from people like Indonesian of Chinese descent has been dashed in Singapore.

best, Bosco
