Taipei International Flora Show

Two letters were printed in the Straits Times about the poor standard of the Singapore pavilion at the Taipei International Flora Show. This is unacceptable as Singapore has prided itself for several decades as a "garden city".

This is another example of the bad state of affairs that has occurred in Singapore in recent years. The change to a "hands off" approach and "leave it to the private sector" is probably the cause of this deterioration. It is time for us to change our policies or find new leaders.

For God's sake, and for the sake of Singapore's image and prestige,
and reputation,
either put in the best effort to shine, or forfeit taking part at all. Don't bring shame to our country.
The people in charge should now be covering their faces in shame. No funds allocated by stingy Govt-linked Agencies, if not private, then don't participate at all.

Everything is a "hands off" / "pro-business" approach then we dun need

1) such a big civil service
2) people who are not doing their job ("no free lunch" remember?)
3) MPs to call us names (daft, quitters, etc) after we voted for them
