Serious Values 101...

they can be found as the 6.9 k's in my signature.
I remember that George Yeo, Old Man and Kishore Mahbubani attempted to create a Singapore state ideology with these values wrapped around Confucianism in the 90s to explain our success. Lots of articles, presentations etc especially to foreign audience, newsmakers etc but spluttered out after 2 to 3 years.
In today's contemporary World, even in places like China, discussions around values per se is no longer fashionable. Achievements, Actions and deeds that result in material change for the better have become point of discussion.
People recognise and appreciate Person A because he changed the Health System to be more equitable. Person B's invention reduced cost of building public housing for the needy etc. Same for promotions in companies - KPIs carry much higher weightage than an values even though you would require these values to deliver to some extent.
It very much like Kung Fu where it now a novelty even a form of entertainment rather than a respected and revered form of Martial Arts of the past. I suppose courtesy of Jackie Chan in this case. Compare the Kung Fu exponent and a Navy Seal or even a Ranger in SAF.

All these values were encouraged so that Leaders may Corrupt Leegally, without worrying being over thrown.
U make it sound as though the rest of the human race know not of these values.i believe those are aspirations just like over government say our pledge is a aspiration.not much hope in that department after 5000 years.today the chinks number one value they export is the yuan,the value of money.with money who needs values?u can shit anywhere u want
noticed how things are done when guided by sound values versus how things are done when guided by KPI?
Your belief systems are at stake where the processes are concerned, each step taken grounded and measured. Whereas KPIs are concerned? Betterest, Cheaperest, and Fasterest.
Its a very good point. Unfortunately you can even put this traits down in your staff's annual appraisal even if he displays all these things and he is the best and due for promotion. The word "loyalty" for example is a no-no it is implies dependent on certain people. You can't even say that he is loyal to the company as it implies that he is not prepared to tackle new challenges.
Yeah, it's all for fuck sake.
When ur branded as lesser mortals by the very fuktards tat leech on the country's wealth, wat is there to talk on Values!. Dump all values in their 800k dustbin.
Snap out of it lah, zhihau! These 8 chink characters are nothing more than tools invented by chink emperors to oppress ancient gullible chinks.
We need American values and American education to bring the world forward, a world where kids can be brats and inventors all at the same time.

The proper sequence is 忠孝、仁爱. These 4 characters always come in 2 pairs and there is a reason.
Your translation of 礼、义、廉、耻 into Courtesy, Righteousness, Morality, Humility is off the mark. It's Propriety, Justice, Integrity and Honour.
The values remain relevant only to those who can cope with the high standards that such values demand.
If you ask a man who steals for a living what he thinks of honesty, you can't expect a thief to value honesty.
Look at the requirements particularly on letters of recommendation and the need to do extracurricular activities such as volunteerism. These were previously done away with because those who are connected can get "powerful and interesting" letters of recommendation and the race to do volunteer work at PAP meet the people session and PA grassroots activities are highly sought after as it is usually accompanied by an MP's letter.
Many of the Universities in the West has done away will all these and candidates go for panel interview without revealing the full name so the panel has not idea about their relatives or connections.

They are all obsolete if not applied according to the context. There is a time for each of those values and sometimes you have to pick one over another as both can't be applied at the same time. There is no set formula, it all boils down to your value system. Just chill and live the life you want and don't worry about what others think unless you are running for election. The only question you must answer is can you live with yourself.
