"Don't have a cow, man!" -- Bart Simpson
 

Singapore economy:
You have one healthy cow. You don't have skill to milk the cow, so can't even produce enough milk to fill in your own cup. Start whining and complaining that the cow is not good.

Then some people from India come. Milk the same cow, and can produce 2 gallon of milk a day. You whin and complain again, saying the new comer not do any justice by milking on longer hours.
 

your version of sg econ is not right

Singapore economy:
You have 2 cows
They are named "Cow Pay and Cow Bull"
 

Singapore economy:
You have 2 cows
They are named "Cow Pay and Cow Bull"

At the Macro Level:

Local cows were told to integrate their resorts
and assist in their joyful worship
of Mammon in our land.
Cow Bei and Cow Bu cowed down in obedience.
Money is good. More is better.

that's so wrong

Singapore Economy:

You have 2 locally bred cows
You milk them till they are dry and leave them to survive on their own, occasionally coming back to milk them when they have enough milk
import 2 other foreign cows that feed less, milk them and sell that milk as local product
