PAP's 'meritocracy' system is copied from China's communist system

Other downs of PAPpy's so called meritocratic system -

Other downside effect besides elitism and spread of corruption (due to lack of vigilance as a whole), this so called meritocratic system produces many out of touch top civil servants and leaders. They don't have an inkling what is going on the ground and many a time they cannot relate to the ground guy. The PAPpy puts up grassroot leaders, but that is all one big bull. Grassroot leaders are part of the system - I was an RC Chairman

Yet another downside are those who fall through the cracks. One of the criteria in this "meritocratic" system is having a good academic result. Hence, if you are an average student in your primary school days, you will not have a chance to be in an elite secondary school. Your chances of playing catch up are very low. It doesn't matter that you suddenly start to shine at 30 years old because you are a late bloomer, having received your first class honours degree at that age. Too bad, you have missed the boat.

Still another problem, and this is a biggie, is the tendency for these elites to cover each other's backsides. One high profile case is when we saw ex-President Ong Teng Cheong being stonewalled collectively by the PAP govt after he had asked for information regarding Singapore's financial reserves. The mighty PAP cabinet gang, having being schooled and were selected from the same system, has this tendency to protect each other.

Incidentally, all those who rose from the PAP ranks but later "go against the system", are made to look bad. This happened to Ong TC and of course, the disgraced Devan Nair, another ex-Presdient.

I thot is copied from imperial china system.
But imperial system then however flawed still did not let academic scholars to become generals.

But the dynasties did rule for hundreds of years so maybe thats what old man lee desires.....

He forgets that this is sinkore and he can only fool so many people for so long...... Nobody is so fucking stupid as to let his family rule for much longer......

Thats why he is trying to get the intelligensia to do a buy in for his bullshit ... And overly reward them with appoinments in his govt


But not all the smart ones can be bought ...nor All of them can be fooled into the government.....and not all are selfish and greedy.....
