HCA wat are u talking about?

SG not risk averse = risk loving or neutral. So wats this about not enough entrepreneurs?

There are lotsa creative people in Singapore making their earnings not being an employee or salary receiver. Thats being creative too. Artists, painters, song writers, musicians, engineers, architects, designers and all are creative.

So if your creative equals making big bucks, Singapore has to be very creative too. We got lotsa Millionaires!

And if you compare SG to Korea or any other bigger countries it is not that fair. U need a critical mass to be "creative", going by your definition of Acer,LG,etc. Without the mass supporting these MNCs, without the proletarians you think the capitalism gonna work?

Studying and education is definitely one of the ways to get out of poverty and attaining higher living standards. Without those basic needs, creativity aint getting you anywhere. Of course, a drug peddler, vandal, crook or criminal can be creative too..
