      <title>As our population increase, so are our rice shortage!!! replied by Cheowyonglee @ Sun, 30 Mar 2008 20:36:40 +0800</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Well, the government seems like the more our population hit the
600 million target, the more our economy will grow.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Right and wrong!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Singapore is not a self producer of food and natural resources
country.We largely depend on other countries for food and natural
resources.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The current 'reduce rice export' saga was an example.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If our government is not going to do something on this,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;it's a time bomb waiting to explode once the time is ripe.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Everything is already on the rise.The pressure is&amp;nbsp;on us the
lower income group.If our population is going to hit the 600
million mark, what if there is one day every country stop exporting
food and natural resources to us?What if even our own neighbour
Malaysia stop exporting to us?Rice price is going to shootup.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Everything going to shootup.Can our food reserve able to support
the 600 million people?Think about it!&lt;/p&gt;</description>
