The observations in the article are generally correct and true.
The PAP gahmen, being smart and alert must also have known of these problems, even without the article or other feedbacks.
But I think they are not going to change this growth model just because of the issues raised.
They would even think that the choices they make are the best.
As long as they can create situations that ensure PAP 50% walkovers, 66% mandate and 98% seats at every election. And the people remain peaceful. This is most important and once this is achieved, all other issues are secondary.
I guess they can do this more easily because Singapore is small, just a city state. Hence uniquely Singapore.
You are not only lucky but actually quite talented. It is a real pity that our govt misrecognises foreign thrash who come and plunder, cheat, rob, steal and kill as talents instead of real local talents like you as evidenced by the many recent news reports of these imports. Singapore is doomed if this sad state of affairs continues.

The article was written by me a few years ago. I don't recall which forum I posted it in but so glad that it is just being read after so long.

ReplyDeleteEven though i largely agree to the points raised in the article, it would be better if solutions to the current problems are offered.
