In current modern democracy and capitalistic society, it is not so apparent.
But the modern slaves are those who are indentured by their debts : bank/finance company/pawn shops or ah longs/employment agents/pimps or employment bonds.

I am just glad(for now), we have no ah sums or coolies. Also women here not selling their bodies or working as domestic workers overseas.
But I belief, given time, there will be Singaporean going to China and India as foreign workers : when SG is really doomed.
A matter of time only.
Based on that, this is a theory i can think of. When that happen, our property will be 25% of the current price at most. And sgd will be same value as riggit at most. The nearest it can happen is 5 years. So if it will happen that soon, best will be use whatever excess money to buy gold and shift to the smallest dwelling possible asap. When property and sgd crash, will live like a king in sing.

China yes, India unlikely.

Huge difference between a Chinese and Indian society. One accept changes and progress, the other simply try to avoid it.

Example, which country still have its people riding on top of trains and keep its caste system?

How to progress?

When doomed, Singaporeans will have no choice.
Much like the banglas and maids currently in SG, they are here cos no work or low salaries back home.

When that happens, I am sure there will be other problems like not enough fresh water, no money to maintain old hdb etc.

I still got no idea where is a good place to retire.
