Singapore, the ever-so-efficient island nation, has announced a groundbreaking new initiative to sustain its unprecedented 5% economic growth. Following a recent budget heavily emphasising AI and a "China+1" strategy, sources close to the government confirm that every Singaporean is now personally accountable for their share of the nation’s skyrocketing GDP.

An anonymous government official, speaking from an undisclosed, impeccably air-conditioned bunker, stated, "This bold step ensures Singapore remains at the forefront of AI-related trade and positions us as the unparalleled hub for the ‘China+1’ strategy. We expect citizens to embrace this challenge with the same enthusiasm they exhibit for queuing."

The move has met with mixed reactions on the ground. "Wah lao eh, now even my newborn baby got KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) for national growth? Can anot?" lamented a local resident, Mr Tan, while struggling to teach his toddler advanced calculus. "Later if my kid don't hit target, government send robot replace him, how?" Experts believe this new mandate will further cement Singapore’s reputation as a global economic powerhouse, even if it means Singaporeans must start inventing new industries in their sleep.
