$ or Lives?

Dilemma between the blind pursuit of higher economic growth and protecting our environment.
I would like to think of this at the governments point of view. In the governments point of view it is true that they will sacrifice the environment to earn money but it is all for the better of the country and us the citizens. It will only be wrong if the government is trying to earn money for themselves and not benefit the country and that's the wrong way to waste the environment. If the specified species is endangered we should at the very least keep it safe to ensure its continuation and the clear that area for our economic things. We the government don't care about the environment as it does not bring us any profit but we should at least care about it as our citizens want to take care of it. The economic growth is also needed as most of the countries are growing at incredible rate like China and if the government do not focus on the economic growth, we will start falling behind a lot of countries and all the efforts will be wasted. In conclusion I think that focusing in growth in economy is more important the environment but that does not mean that we can trash the environment so we must take care of it if it is being used and if the place is needed to be cleared for economic purposes we should limit our clearing area and be resourceful at the same time.

High cost of living :(

  What are the possible consequence of high cost of living in Singapore?
The possible consequences are that people will start migrating to other countries cause their cost of living are a lot lower that ours. When Fast and Furious 7 came out, Vin diesel and the crew came to Singapore for an interview, us the Singaporeans asked him to guess the price of cars in Singapore. We told them it was $100,000 for a car and we still have not add the COE and they're were like " WHAT THE HELL, that can easily get you a sports car or lambo back in the states or 2 of the same car!" 
Judging by their response even I will migrate to other countries if I could, the price of our 3 room flats can also easily buy a terrace in their country.
The other possible consequence can be that Singapore still can continue robbing more money under broad daylight because Singaporeans know that it will be difficult to migrate and the things we have now is very fortunate and we will continue staying here and paying more money even though we know we are at a loss.
