Just imagine having an  economy of this size without sacrificing too much of our space and private spaces. 

Our national budget would be doubled like defence , education and social spendings . Of course research and development. More attention to civil liberty. 

Just how feasible is it ?

Things will get very expensive in Singapore.

Brighter side of things are that Singapore can have a bigger military like bigger warships can put the jets  and more buying power to import our stuff.

Any economist will tell you a "1 trillion" league GDP is NOT a measure of quality living standard.

Probably it takes a long while for the money to trickle down to the grassroots.Vast lands and 300m population. Gonna starts somewhere. People will see  progress at national level see endless stretches of paved roads , fast trains , factories, like what is happening to our immediate neighbor .

Better than wasting the $Billions on weapons and war like some countries in Europe are doing now...

Our Economy and Infrastructure cannot always be Future Ready because this is a Never- Ending Race, a Govt process that will destroy locals. It is about time to review on Sustainability using own local workforce while removing some FTs.

Wish them well, hopefully that they can collect tons of  tourists receipts and investment capital to pay for their loans with this transport linkage.
