How Singapore Became the World’s Hub

this observation: all such development (good/bad) are government initiated. i.e. the government is the only active actor in contrast to the passive complaisance of the people. in other words the power and enfranchisement of the nation and its progress is with the government and limited to the government only. the people are limited in terms of their voice, their power for active civic participation and enfranchisement.  i.e. over time, actually both government and people would devolve, first the government due to being unchallenged (no free speech, no free press, no free demonstrations). the people too, will devolve in terms of political sophistication and cognitivity. i.e. becomes more passive and apathetic towards political self-determination, activism and participation. They wouldnt be able to evolve their political enfranchisement and political maturity and actualization. It will be political infantilization instead.
