What is worrying is that, some ppl in government tend to think of Singapore as a gold mine that every talent will flock into, they forget that Singapore is actually dependent on human capital, and without good immigration policies or good economies, talents will leave Singapore and make economy worse, we have witnessed that in mid 2000s.
