I think economic connections is the most important. Without trade, Singapore wouldn't be where it is today. We still rely heavily on trade. Trade brought different nationalities of people to Singapore and that's why we are such a multicultural society.
I think that economic connections are important but I think other connections are more important. Without the political and cultural connections, there would be no trade in the first place. Singapore would not be as successful a country as it is now
I think that Economic connection is the most important for Singapore today. Trade is important as Singapore is a small country and certain things can only be obtained from other countries through trade, even most products we see in supermarkets or shops are from other countries such as China and Japan.
Yup. Its hard to farm food because of the soil, and vertical farming is not that advanced yet and can only support a few of the population.(BTW, there is less than 1% of Singapore lands for farming)
On top of that, Singapore has no natural resources, eg water.
Thus, Singapore needs trade with other countries to sustain and get resources
PS. I forgot what else i wanted to say so this is it for now
I think that Economic connections are important but Political and cultural connections are more important as without other connections, there would be no trade in the first place.
I think that Economic Connections is the most important for Singapore today as, without trade, Singapore will not be able to prosper into the metropolis it is today. Without trade, we will be helpless without any natural resources on our island.
Political Connections. As Singapore survives on trade, we need to have good connections with other countries so that countries will continue to trade with us and provide us with the resources we need to sustain ourselves.
I think the economic connection is the most important to Singapore 🇸🇬. Without trade, Singapore would not be the successful nation we are now. We have very little natural resources and without trade, Singapore would still be a fishing village that would not be as famous.
However, it should be political connection. As only when the relationship between 2 countries is good, then both countries would want to trade with each other so I think that political connections would be more suitable.
I think the economic connection is the most important for Singapore today as, without the economy, Singapore wouldn't be as bustling as it is now. Economy has proven to be useful in the process of upgrading Singapore.
I agree with you as, without economic connections, we wouldn't be able to do trading. Thus we won't be able to build Singapore as we don't have the money and resources.
I agree as without economic connections Singapore will not be recognised on the world stage with a high exchange rate that is higher than most of the neighbouring countries around us.
I think that the political connection is the most important because it needs good relationships with other countries. Without these good relationships, Singapore would not be able to trade with other countries. For Singapore, it is necessary that we are able to trade with other countries as our land is infertile to grow any fruits or food. Thus, we need to trade with other countries to get food or other goods.
Even without political connections, countries still need to go through the same route to get to their destination. So Singapore still will thrive even with political connections
economic connections, as without economic connections, Singapore will not be able to survive for there are very less natural resources. Singapore survives through trade, establishing a high position in the trade business, both in the past and present.
Economic Connections as Singapore is a country without much natural resources, hence if we did not have Economic connections, Singapore wouldn't be able to survive and People would starve and have lack of homes due to lack of resources.
I feel that the economic connections is the most important for Singapore. Singapore's soil is not suitable for farming, hence trading is especially important for Singapore to get crops and items.
Yes, you are right as Singapore's 🇸🇬 soil is not fertile we can't depend on farming for our income and we need to have trade and other types of investments to help us remain as a first world 🌍 country
I find that political connections are most important for Singapore. We need to bond friendships between countries and forge stronger bonds so other countries can help us and we can have trades more easily.
Cultural connections. If Singapore did not have cultural connections, we would not be a unified country. If we were not a unified country, we would not have become the Singapore we are today. Cultural connections helped us become a first world country. We would not have good political connections and economic connections with others if we had racial riots all the time.
I think that Political Connections is the most important for Singapore today of the 3 types of connections discussed as if there were no Political Connections, Singapore would not be where it is today and it would still be a small trading port.
It would not be a small trading port as with Political Connections with other countries, such as Malaysia, they supported Singapore and helped develop Her into a garden city
political connections. Singapore is very vulnerable to war and should make friends with other governments. One A-bomb and the entire Singapore will be destroyed
While I agree with you that Singapore is vulnerable to military conflicts, the risk of an A-bomb is low. Given our land size, anyone using an A-bomb will not just destroy our country, but neighbouring countries and the fishing industry as well!
I think all the connections are important, but Cultural Connections are the most important. If there is no culture, there will be no Political Connections in the country as there is no story behind a certain action, hence there will be no Economical Connections with the world because of no political rights that provide laws and the money.
Culture is only for the recognition of Singapore, even without culture, Singapore will still be one of the most recognisable countries as we have a strong economy and we are located in the centre of the trade route.
Economic connections. Without economic connections, Singapore would still struggle to survive because of poverty as it was just a trading centre and people in Singapore could not grow crops to feed themselves.
I think that economic connections are the most important as Singapore lives on trading with other countries as it has no natural resources. Without economic connections, Singapore would not have a culture to speak of due to the number of problems it would have to deal with first.
I think cultural connections is the most important for Singapore today. Singapore is identified because there are a lot of cultures here. Without our cultures Singapore wouldn't be like what Singapore is today.
But the many "cultures" of Singapore were not originally from Singapore and most people were attracted to Singapore due to the jobs available, not because of our culture.
Political Connections. Without it, Singapore wouldn't be such an influential country as our connections with other countries, such as Malaysia, helps us obtain water that we cannot obtain in great quantities by ourselves. It also boosted the amount of trade we had in the past, which attracted people from other countries to come to Singapore for work, thus resulting in Singapore becoming a multi-racial country.
Political, Singapore is an independent nation and we need political relations and connections with other countries in order to maintain... order, and have good relationships with other countries which will lead to us having more trade with neighbouring countries.
I think that political connection is the most important because, Singapore survives on trade for its resources we have to have a good relationship with other countries for us to survive, such as , Malaysia we need Malaysia for our water resources.
The economic connection is the most important connection as Singapore lacks natural resources such as water and needs money to get these resources from other countries.
All of these connections are equally important, each in their own respect. Only with all three connections functioning in synergy can a nation function on a whole. For example, political connections are essential for good and efficient trade, and safety and protection during wartime. Cultural connections are important for creating Singapore's identity as a whole, to make us be unified and identify our selves as Citizens of Singapore, rather than Malays, Chinese, Indians, and Caucasians living on the same island. Economic connections, much like political connections, are important for trade and resources. Without good economic connections with Malaysia, we would have insufficient drinking water. Without economic connections with chins, we would be incapable of receiving enough common goods and items. I understand that you seek the most important, but the truth is that all of them are needed for Singapore to function as a whole. They are all unique in their own ways, and this is why it is wrong to assume that one is more important than another without specifying what you mean by important. I believe this is an essential point.
