Singapore's future and the PAP

Read this article in SGEP. It was written a few years ago, by a 17 year old girl.

Singapore's 5 Minute Investment Diary said...: Wow!
And who says Singapore needs to import talents?

I'd love to see Ms Gayle Goh run for elections against Ms Tin Pei Ling in an SMC.

Or at least see a debate between Ms Goh and Ms Tin Pei Ling.

Sadly though, I got a feeling we'll end up losing Ms Goh to another country which can better nurture her talent.; April 15, 2011 6:53 PM

This young 17 year old girl is so suffocated by the political system here, to a point that she had to get it off her chest by penning it down. Makes us feel shameful in comparison.
Even China is more demcratic, their leaders retire for good, not like here where they still cling on and pull strings behind, in the form of absurd titles like MM, SM, God knows what fanciful titles are drummed up next.; April 15, 2011 10:39 PM

Thinking back, what the hell was I doing when I was a 17 yrs old lad......; April 15, 2011 10:43 PM

predicament very amusing and absurd.
Now he is taking up German seriously, to leave and work in Germany, to repay the German Govt's generosity, should an opportunity comes along, with our support.; April 15, 2011 11:04 PM

To admit local U, student must have additional SAP qualification beside A level qualification or Poly Diploma.

My daugther & few friends left SG to Australia for further study. She join Malaysia Club in her university campus!

Her friend received both Master & PhD scholarship.

I do not know why the ruler does not love some of our smart sons and daugthers?; April 17, 2011 9:32 AM
Weng Mao Fa said...: To the Author, your view of both conflict theory and structuralism are not new under sociology. Perhaps if you further study International Relations, you might have a better picture. Assume you are born in Penang and read the world bank report about Penang, you might have written a different thesis.

Weng Mao Fa said...: To the Author, you mentioned about "Constant"...."Confucian Ethic".

I wish you study more on history, philosophy before you jump into your own conclusion. Pleas read authentic book other than wikepedia.; April 17, 2011 9:43 AM
Weng Mao Fa said...: Before election, Obama promised to withdraw US troop from Central Asia.

After election and become the President, what Obama do with his arm forces?

Further, Obama send his Navy quietly to North Afica and fire 100 missles to Libya government force.
Rassia, China, India, Arab nations, Afican nations strongly protest the aggressiveness of Obama and his allied.
