Is that a bad thing?

I would say it's a good thing when the size of ambitions matches the size of ones mouth.

He certainly inherited the size of the mouth of his father, and tried to imitate his tirades heavily 12 years ago when I lived there, but so far nothing really came out of it.

Not sure what it will look like, it's what leaders are for.

I would say 1 thing: Singapore is probably the only country in the world which actively tries to reduce population of millionaires, and rich 6 digit salary making expats on the populist notion that this tiny population which pays for itself n-fold in taxes is "stealing Singaporean jobs."
