 https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSxs1KvhM/


https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSxtFVPLR/


Who say:-

AI data centre replacing jobs?


@Babe:AI data centre don't host business apps? business clouds, business Agentic apps?

1. bank apps?

2. govt apps?

3. f&b apps?

4. manufacturing apps?

5. finance apps?

6. insurance apps?

etc etc....

aren't these creating jobs for every industry sectors?

who say only those that manage the AI data centres only?


@Babe:1. who maintain bank apps, bank agentic AI? - bank staff.

2. who maintain gov apps, gov agentic AI? - gov staff.

3. who maintain manufacturing apps, manufacturing agentic AI? - manufacturing staff.

4. who maintain f&b apps, f&b agentic AI? - f&b staff.

5. who maintain insurance apps, insurance agentic AI? - insurance staff.

etc etc

All these all high income jobs.

Who say only a few DC staff maintain AI DC only?


@Babe:Besides, each Data Centre will employ specialists and professionals to run - that are high income jobs:-

1. DC Managed Service team

2. DC facilities management team - electrical, HVAC aircon, etc.

3. System engineers.

4. Network engineers.

5. Database professionals.

6. Cloud engineers.

7. AI professionals.

8. Cybersecurity engineers.

9. Telecommunications engineers.

Who say DC produce very little jobs?

Many high income jobs are created.


@Babe:DC also created jobs in many IT support industries eg.

1. DC need to buy servers, GPU etc.

2. Storage, SAN switches.

3. Routers, LAN switches.

4. Cybersecurity devices eg. Firewall, IPS, proxy, VPN, etc.

5. Server virtualisation, cloud.

6. Middleware, apps platform.

7. Telecommunications devices, remote access etc.

8. Database, DBMS etc.

9. AI tools such as LLM, Agentic AI, NLP, python, machine language, frontier AI etc.

Many jobs are created in IT support industries.

Who say AI DC not creating jobs?

They created high value, high income jobs.


@Babe:One DC can create hundreds of high income jobs after construction.

Certainly not the numbers of McDonald staff.


====

@Babe:The data center (DC) sector currently supports around 25,000 jobs in Singapore. This includes roughly 7,000 direct roles within the data centers and another 18,000 indirect jobs across the supply chain. These jobs are highly productive, paying wages about 35% above the national average.

Source :- Google AI


@Babe:These roles are highly productive and lucrative:

Above-Average Pay: Employees working in data centres earn wages that are approximately 35% higher than the national average.

Strong Projections: The sector is expected to drive a near threefold jump in jobs by 2030, in tandem with rising AI infrastructure demands and digital economy growth. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Recent Hiring Initiatives & Actionable Steps:

If you are looking for roles in this sector, major firms are actively expanding their local workforces. For instance: [1, 2, 3]

Singtel/Nxera: Singtel's regional data centre arm and its partners are training and hiring over 500 people for data centre and digital roles. [1]

Bridge Data Centres: Partnering with local institutions (like ITE) to create roles and training opportunities for students and professionals in engineering and energy systems.

====

@Babe:1. The published number of DC are public DC built to host public cloud and AI.

2. There are many private DC build by individual big enterprises to support their digitisation which are not published.

3. In total, Singapore’s digital economy supports approximately 214,000 tech jobs across the nation.


====

@Babe:Singapore's digital economy generated S$128.1 billion in 2026.


@Babe:Singapore’s digital economy contributes 18.6% to the nation's GDP. Valued at S$128.1 billion, it means more than S$1 out of every S$6 generated in the economy stems from digital-related activities.


@Babe:Tech and digital economy professions in Singapore consistently rank 1st or 2nd in salary, with resident tech workers earning a median monthly wage of S$7,950. 

This is roughly 1.6 times the national median monthly salary of S$4,860 for all other resident occupations.


====

@Babe:1. AI replacement of jobs is also not accurate in the context of Singapore.

2. Previously, when computerisation and digitalisation is invented, it displace the jobs in which workers still stick to pen and paper, typewriters.

But it created many IT jobs, industry users that uses computers, eCommerce, eTransaction, Internet.

3. Similarly, AI will displace jobs in which workers refuse to train in AI and use AI.

Conversely, AI created jobs for workers that use AI, basically:-

- AI users (in Generative AI, Agentic AI, AGI),

- AI developers of Agentic AI, AI Apps

- AI R&D developers or creators of LLM, Frontier AI etc.


====

@Babe:Currently, Singapore is experiencing full employment.

No sign of mass displacement of jobs by AI in the context of Singapore.


====

@Babe:1. Currently there are 6,000 AI professionals - and target to increase to 15,000.

2. Target to train students and workforce 100,000 to be AI savvy by 2029.


====

@Babe:1. AI is in the same situation when computer spreadsheet, words, internet, mobile apps, web transactions are created.

If you don't learn how to use it, but still rely on calculator, typewriter, pen and pencil, queue up in banks to deposit and withdrawal - you will be out of the workforce.

2. There are so many types of Generative AI - ChatGpt, Google Gemini AI, Meta Llama, DeepSeek, Anthropic Claude Mythos Frontier AI, etc - all have free versions though there are business premium version - and no AI business will shut their free versions - because they will lose users.

3. Many students and workers are using Generative AI to generate software codes, do scheduling, generate reports, generate design options etc. that increase workers productivity phenomenally.

4. AI developers are developing Agentic AI apps to improve business processes and harness productivity.

Workers are expected to learn how to use these Agentic AI apps for their work (just like what workers need to use business apps and software through their computers and smartphones to complete their work).

5. It is not a threat, but a genuine needs for workers and students to be AI savvy.

Else workers will be render redundant if more business adopt AI in their business processes.


====

@Babe:1. If one of my software engineer can produce 10 bug-free software codes in one day with the help of AI.

2. While another software engineer can only produce 1 bug-free software code in one day without using AI (or don't know how to use AI).

3. I will let go of the 2nd software engineer that can produce only 1 software code per day.

4. I will keep that software engineer whose productivity is 10 times higher who are competent in using AI tools.


@Babe:1. This includes:-

a. Line by line checking of AI produced software codes.

b. Generation of test cases.

c. System integration of all AI produce software codes for modular testing.

d. Proof-of-Concept Testing.

e. System integration into live production.

d. QC of every phases.

@Babe:AI generated song.

@Babe:The artificial intelligence boom directly drives approximately 18.6% of Singapore’s overall economy, contributing $128.1 billion (SGD) to the national GDP. Driven by surging global demand for AI-related electronics, semiconductors, and tech services, the AI sector continues to be a major catalyst for the country's economic resilience. [1, 2, 3]

Breakdown of AI's Economic Impact:

Digital Economy Share: The digital economy represents $128.1 billion (SGD), accounting for 18.6% of Singapore's total GDP. [1]

Manufacturing Surge: Semiconductor and electronics output surged by as much as 44% to directly capitalize on global AI-related demands. [1, 2]

National Economic Forecast: Boosted by AI tailwinds, the Ministry of Trade and Industry expects Singapore’s annual GDP growth to hold steady between 2% and 4%. [1, 2]

Broad Industry Adoption: While the tech sector benefits, over two-thirds of this digital GDP is generated by non-tech industries (such as Finance, Wholesale Trade, and Manufacturing). [1]


@Babe:AI contributed 18.6%, $128.1 billions to Singapore economy.

Cost sunk into AI are investment, not cost.

Shangrila Security Forum

 https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSxpGXHW5/


@critical thinker:I am surprised China still finds the Dialogue useful. Or is China giving face to Singapore with a low-key token delegation? Every Dialogue talked about the same issues. Concerns, fears, and cooperation but no concrete actions...just showmanship and upmanship... wasting taxpayers' money. All nice at Shangri-la...the wine, the food, the uniforms, the chest loads of medals....


@Babe:If there are no security forum on neutral ground, no communication, no sharing of views and mutual interest such as the Shangrila Forum - miscommunication, distrust can snowball and translate into big regional war.

It is better for friends or adversaries to come together into a security forum on neutral ground to hear one another out and feel the pulse or diffuse tensions.

Why SAF cannot pay regular pay to NS men?

8 May 2026


[08/05, 12:52 pm] ☸️  Danny 心: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS9G5mWno/

https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSxqtWQ4h/



WP Kenneth Tiong suggest paying NSF $1,800 a month as minimum wages like regular pay.

@Babe:1. WP Kenneth Tiong want Government to pay the minimum salary to NS man $1,800 - which is essentially transforming our conscription into regular army with regular pay.

2. No small countries can afford a regular army of strength 300,000 servicemen = 300,000 x $1,800 x 12 months = a whopping $6.48 billion every year just to pay the NS.

3. This will take out a big chunk of the SAF budget to buy weapons, maintain weapons, do R&D, keep all the 4 services function effectively, training, overseas exercise, maintain overseas bases etc - to ensure Singapore has an effective SAF fighting forces.

4. In other words, this opposition MP suggestion - will have make our SAF less effective in ensuring a effective fighting force with less effective weapons, less budget for training, reduce training hours, maintain weapons to become operational, less flying hours etc to defend our Countries.
It pose an existential threat to Singapore.

5. As MP, does he have strategic depth when making suggestion in Parliament - without resorting to populist policy just to woo votes - but pose a great threat to the Country?


@Babe:---

1. NS men unlike other jobs - are given full time accomodation to live in barracks (Mon - Fri) except weekends when they book out - they don't need to pay rent, house loans etc.

2. NS men are given 4 meals everyday (commercial caterers) - breakfast, lunch, dinner, night snacks.

3. NS men are given full clothings, footwear, bags etc - no need to buy clothes, running shoes, T-shirts, short pants, full packs, ali-baba bags etc

4. NS men don't need to pay electricity, water for bathing, charging handphone to surf internet etc.

5. NS men only pay public transport during book out time and book in time.

6. If sick, see doctors (MO - Medical Officers) are free.

7. Half of the expenses are taken care off by the SAF - hence cannot justify the needs for a minimum wages of $1,800 a month.

Workers outside don't have such special privileges, perks and services - that will have easily cover more than half of the $1,800 if a worker with minimum is on their own.

8. DId this WP MP take into account of this - and include in his calculation when making comments in Parliament?

9. Besides, performing National Service is a sacred duty that is a responsibilities of all male Singaporeans - without the Country, we have no home, no peace, no prosperity, and we cannot protect our loved ones.

Does WP MP reflect on this?


@Babe:Do you know why many countries cannot afford a regular standing Army to defend their countries?

Because it is too expensive and will burn a big hole in their defense budget, albeit their fiscal budget - and leave with very little to finance their social and economic needs.

That's why countries have to turn to conscription by paying allowance.

Else our soldiers will have to use their salaries to fight advanced weapons thrown by enemies without effective weapons to counter them.

This is simple math.

Why doesn't this WP MP cannot see this and instead focus in winning votes while putting our NS boys at risk?

====

[14/5/2026 4:52 pm] LCL (Danny 心): 

Even rich countries like Germany, Switzerland, Taiwan, Israel, South Korea etc cannot afford a regular army pay - but have to depend on conscription army that pay NS allowance not regular pay.

[14/5/2026 4:56 pm] LCL (Danny 心): 

Then our army boy got to go out to fight the army that shoot ballistic missiles on us - and we only got money to buy bullets to shoot the ballistic missiles down instead of air defence missiles - because a big chunk of money is in your pocket.

Or our soldiers catch the ballistic missiles with their bare hands.


[14/5/2026 5:01 pm] LCL (Danny 心): 

Approximately 64 countries currently use conscription (mandatory military service), with another 8 employing selective conscription and 13 having it authorized for emergencies, totaling over 80 nations with mandatory or standby enrollment. Active systems are prevalent in parts of Asia, Africa, and a growing number of European nations, including Russia, South Korea, Israel, and recently, returning to nations like Lithuania and Sweden. [1 (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-44646267), 2 (http://chartsbin.com/view/1887?mobile-app=true&theme=false), 3 (https://en.tempo.co/read/1801069/10-countries-with-compulsory-military-services)]

@Babe:Throughout all his Parliament speeches, Kenneth Tiong is all about how to dig more and more into the fiscal budget to pay more for this and more for that.

I have not come across making constructive suggestions how to bring in more money for Singapore.

He think Singapore money fall from the sky.

@Babe:He will bankrupt Singapore coffer very quickly.

====


[14/5/2026 4:43 pm] LCL (Danny 心): 

To defend our Homeland, our loved ones.

This is a deserving sacrifice.

It is our sacred duty.


[14/5/2026 4:44 pm] LCL (Danny 心): 

Rather than become a war slavery eg under Japanese occupation - whereby we don't even have chance to take up weapons to fight our aggressor.

As they kill our ancestors, rape our women, burn our houses and our ancestors live like a slaves.


---

Eg. of how Kenneth Tiong and WP MPs will bankrupt Singapore coffer in record time  :

1. Propose $1,800 per month - $6.48 billion every year just to pay the NS.

2. Propose removing the cap limit of 6% for CPF interest payment ---- how many billions is Kenneth Tiong expected the Government to pay?

3. Tap more NIRC for fiscal budget to replace GST hike of 2% - many billions.

4. Translate limited land sales to be used as recurrent government expenditures - don't know how many billions and soon Government run out of lands to build BTO for the younger generations.

5. Advocate nationalisation of public transport - take taxpayers money to fund public transport, charge nominal public fares --- how many billions does WP want to burn into Singapore reseerves?

6. Proposed cutting or removing of fuel and diesel fuel - this will accelerate the depletion of diesel usage and diesel reserves will run dry very quickly - and the diesel fuel tax are funded by the rest of the taxpayers who are not driving. How many billions WP intend to dig from the Government budget?

Can recycling failure

 [27/05, 3:38 pm] ☸️  Danny 心: Saw a youth trying to recycle and redeem 2 can containers with the recycling machine.

He tried for quite sometimes, but cannot succeed.

He become frustrated and leave the 2 cans besides the recycling machine.

He lost 20 cents that he paid upfront.


[27/05, 3:42 pm] ☸️  Danny 心: Upfront price 10 cents per can should not be paid.

Job losses to AI and moving out of business to neighbouring economic zones?

 [26/05, 1:06 pm] ☸️  Danny 心: https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSxxc2qWQ/

@Babe:1. Singapore FDI investment in 2026 - reach record high $58.6 billions per quarter hitting $197 billions.

FDI mainly in high end high value added sectors such as finance, technologies & IT and advanced manufacturing - producing high salary jobs.

2. Singapore median monthly salary reaches $5,775 (including CPF).

3. Singapore achieve full employment in 2026 (companies finding it difficult to recruit workers in Singapore).

(Note :- in economic term 3.1% unemployment is universally considered low - as there are workers not actively looking for jobs).

[26/05, 1:15 pm] ☸️  Danny 心: @Babe:1. Joint Development zone (with JB, Batam) missions is to rationalize joint attraction of global FDI into our investment zones - to capitalize and exploits the merits offer by each zones.

2. Eg. Singapore offer high values RHQ, logistics, financial services, high technology advanced manufacturing, well connected ports, air cargo etc but come with high rental and manpower cost.

3. JB and Batam - provides the advantages of low cost land rental, lower manpower costs.

4. Hence, Gardenia, H&M, Amazon that do online fresh groceries deliveries - are well suited to move into JB and Batam - because they require low cost, blue collar workers input - that does not fit into Singapore economic transformation landscape for advanced manufacturing and high paid jobs.

[26/05, 1:20 pm] ☸️  Danny 心: @Babe:1. StanChart job cuts are mainly corporate function roles, support roles that include positions such as risk management and regulatory compliance - that can be automated by AI.

2. StanChart however are increasing job roles to hire more relationship managers, accelerate product innovation, improve digital and client experience, as well as upgrade and launch new client centres.”

@Babe:1. Singapore financial capital under management has increase to more than $6 trillion - plenty of wealth relationship management jobs required by StanChart to tap the wealth management.

@Babe:The total financial assets under management (AUM) in Singapore's fund management industry has surpassed S$6 trillion, building upon the S$6.07 trillion (US$4.46 trillion) recorded prior to the latest growth period. The wealth and asset management sectors continue to see healthy client inflows, driven by the steady expansion of family offices and private equity. [1, 2, 3]


@Babe:So Singaporeans must be able to see the complete picture how Singapore economic transformation landscape are evolving in order to appreciate how Singapore business and jobs have been elevated into a higher value, higher income jobs - instead of being alarmed by some movement of business out of Singapore and retrenchment of some workers.

Able to see the big picture and connect the dots - will make Singaporeans more informed instead of becoming alarmist.

----

@Babe:1. Through carefully calibrated economic transformation:-

Singapore has become the highest GDP PPP per capita in the World.

2. Top 5 Global GDP (PPP) per Capita Leaders.

The most recent figures from major global financial institutions demonstrate Singapore's dominant economic standing:

Singapore: \(\sim \$150,000 – \$173,000+\)

Luxembourg: \(\sim \$140,000 – \$158,000\)

Ireland: \(\sim \$140,000+\)

Macao SAR: \(\sim \$125,000 – \$135,000\)

Switzerland: \(\sim \$105,000+\) [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

----

@Babe:Singapore is globally recognized as one of the most AI-ready economies and leading smart nations.

The city-state’s strategy focuses on large-scale AI deployment and workforce resilience rather than building frontier models from scratch.

This approach is driven by the National AI Council (NAIC) and the Economic Strategy Review (ESR).

----

@Babe:1. In layman terms, do we want companies that offer $1,000, $2,000, $3,000 jobs - to make bread, clothing, pack grocery or do backend mundane excel spreadsheet, print invoice, go through paperwork.

2. Or do we want our Government to attract high value high salary jobs that pay $5,000, $6,000 to above $10,000 - that do advanced manufacturing such as AI chips, chips design, wealth relationship manager, AI developers, creators, R&D, etc?

3. Singapore economic resiliency transformation and national AI council is to create high salary jobs for Singaporeans.
