Tax concessions OK for a limited period, say 10 years and then gradually curtailing the concessions

They give all the benefits to Foreign companies and then these same moronic politicians then complain that local companies are not delivering enough.

The Chinese company will take away the profit. Then they also get all the tax benefits. What will we get out of our port? Only a few thousand low paying jobs. They promise to make this a Singapore each passing day but does the complete opposite of what Singapore did.

Yeah lets kill the golden roost so we can pay our government servants their salaries for a few months. Then lets continue to send our citizen abroad as slaves because there is not way to bring dollars in.

Politicians should tell the people that we do not belong to the elite technically advanced countries of the world and therefore we will have to slowly build up our knowledge and technology. We cannot expect to live like the West Japan and Korea right now. Call them slaves workers or whatever this is the present situation and the only way out is through hard work and study and TIME!
