i've got a tear in my eye when he says that 'it's more important and more satisfying than your phd'. MM suddenly transformed into a loving grandpa infront of this student that could be his granddaughter. ^^

@gameysf While Japan can be self sufficient and less vulnerable to external shocks, can we? Can't compare fairly as many industries go Japan are technological intensive hence less reliant on labour, unlike S'pore where the construction sector is still labour intensive. Besides, if rising cost of living is compensated by rising income as economy improves, it's perfectly acceptable.

if i am that phd student, i would ask: "Sir, how about you do something about your own daughter first"

ksst105, u don't look at GDP. But look at other indicators. Compare the salary vs the cost of living. Japan has lots of MNCs, but can Singapore govt create our own fortune 500 companies? Cost of living in japan has not changed much whereas SG cost of living has grown exponentially over the years while salaries are stagnant. Which city u prefer? Rising cost of living in a city or a city where costs remain roughly the same?

@gameysf That's quite impossible. In order for the same number of people to handle more jobs means you have to take up more workloads. Means work for 16 hours or more instead of 8. And the worst thing is, even the number of people is decreasing.

Japan is not doing well at all, it was so bad that they describe the past decade as the stolen 10 years.
