Sinkies not trained in jade crafing. Too bad.

Without a huge hinterland like China and an economy that can support a jade industry, our survival depends on commerce, banking and IT.  Making jade products is not our comparative advantage.

There are many things we can do but for survival reasons, we can't. Our climate, soil can even grow durian trees but can we do that?  No, we cannot. We need the land for building HDB flats...  Meanwhile, China can assign Hainan Island to be their durian producing province.  Just giving one example....
