I think Singapore should further I capitalise on her current opportunities.
She should learn from the successes of other countries, and apply them to Singapore.
One notable example would be the United States, despite she being a much larger and more populous country than Singapore. But it's still quite useful to have some strengths similar to the United States, which is indeed the dream country for millions of people worldwide - a large, stable and wealthy empire that has a healthy democratic system with strong individual liberty. This is done, through the continual provision of opportunity to all deserving people who are in America's borders.
What makes America successful then is that it is able to allow masses of Americans have the opportunities to move up the social ladder, through either college that are reasonably affordable and of good quality, or good local support for businesses that are formed by ambitious people that come from all corners of the earth.
What I dislike about America now, despite its part strengths, is that the less fortunate Americans get left behind and are trapped in perpetual poverty across generations. And that the ablest of the Americans do actually flee America. America has lost the ability to innovate and improve its own standings. This is bad for the world, given that we need a strong positive force for a more prosperous, peaceful world.
So given the chance, I hope Singapore can re-examine its governance, to learn from the best and the worst of the United States - and other advanced country. They shouldn't debate whether they should turn liberal, conservative or libertarian. They should focus to move their country, and the world, forward. Together.
