14. No worry we can have more, we can both grow and reduce cost by hiring foreign police, foreign soldier navy airforce, foreign ministers, foreign court and judges, foreign immigrations, foreign goverment services. everybody is equal. We can reach 10 million population. They are also good, not lazy and not choosy. They way they handle corona virus is better and far more cheaper and younger. Most of them just follow rules from authorities, same as singaporean now too, does not make any difference, either singaporean or foreign as long they follow rules, All will be good.
