Was it only yesterday we still hear bosses, our industry captains, and Stephen Lee moaning about shortage of foreign labour causing great distress to companies, tight immigration and control of EP etc. and having to encourage more companies to turn things on the head and draw on the Productivity and Innovation fund to become more productive through innovation and creation?

Suddenly, everybody is talking about start up activities, and how Singapore is geared to become startup capital of the world, the innovation hub of the galaxy and testbed for the universe!!!

What has changed? What happened to our unimaginative education system which hasnt turned out anybody except Sim Wong Hoo for decades? Suddenly our brains are freed and swimming with wild ideas courting fund angels and venture capitalists?

Simple. Just get a lot of ra-ra drummed up by our propaganda machines in Toa Payoh and Mediacorp and we have become entrepreneurs overnight. Quit harping on our kiasu school system and exam-crazed system...more play on the few and far between real life successful examples...and beat the drums louder..

No harm to let talk precede action...it's the illusionists at work. Then consider it done!
