    Malaysians are very fortunate to have the Singaporeans investing heavily, in JB in particular, instead of elsewhere in the neighborhood. Big money flows in, local jobs created, property take up is strong, Johor State economic growth expands. Win-win benefits for both sides. Great for closest neighbours.

    Empower workers. Beyond a certain level, no amount of coercion can bring about higher-quality output and productivity.

    Divest GLCs, increase SMEs. We can also encourage enterprise by divesting inefficient Government-linked companies (GLCs) which are competing and slowing down the growth of our small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

    Abolish the Minimum Sum Scheme. Retirees depend on their CPF savings to meet living expenses when they retire.

    S'poreans are very fortunate because it's the m'sians that cross the causeway to work as migrant workers in s'pore and not the other way round. Many thanks to the PAP govt for being so capable and competent.❤❤

    Reduce income inequality.
    Encourage entrepreneurship. The productivity rate of our workers has been falling to a dismal level.

    Increase social spending. We also need to allocate more resources to help our most vulnerable segments of society.

    Re-make the GIC/Temasek model. Our reserves are, effectively, kept with the government through two conglomerates: GIC and Temasek Holdings
