are you saying that your exposure overseas has changed your view of pap?

It has changed my overall view of Singapore as a whole and that includes the way the PAP operates.

It has also made me realise how fragile the apparent stability is and that nothing can be taken for granted.

I have also realised that Singapore is an oasis in a very unstable region and that things could take a turn for the worse at any time.

This gives me a measure of understanding as to why the PAP is so paranoid about allowing the same degree of freedoms that the Western democracies enjoy.

many of my overseas Singaporeans friends differ from you.

it's strange how similar circumstances produce so differing outcomes.

no wonder the pap is lost

Before the Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990), the country experienced a period of relative calm and renowned prosperity, driven by tourism, agriculture, commerce, and banking.[SUP][10][/SUP] Because of its financial power and diversity, Lebanon was known in its heyday as the "Switzerland of the East".[SUP][11][/SUP] It attracted so many tourists that the capital, Beirut, was referred to as "Paris of the Middle East."[SUP][12][/SUP]

There are various factors at play. Age is one of them. Time spent abroad is another. Knowledge of the forces that shape the muslim countries like Malaysia and Indonesia affect my views of reality too. I grew up with Malays. I ate at their homes and played football with them. I understand their view of their place in Singapore and how religion shapes their overall values. I have lived through the period when Singapore was part of Malaysia.

You trout fish? I did toy with this idea but have never fished this specie before. Do you fly-fish or reel cast? If you fly-fish, is it difficult to learn how-to? Thinking of it as a recreational past time activity.

Cheers!

Instead of being angry with the FTs, you should learn to be a bit more humble and learn some of their skills.

FTs come to Singapore so they can help the country economically by filling the skills gaps. You should show some gratitude rather than express your anger.

My nephews in Singapore are not complaining. They're all doing well and earning good money considering their age.

You are telling this yourself, to justify staying in Maori sacred land, help fill Maori skills gaps. I hope Maori have balls to protest, protest to kick immigrant out.

I hate the fucking Maori. Bunch of useless bastards living off taxpayer money and committing 90% of the crime in the country. If I had my way, I'd drive them out. They can fuck off back to Taiwan where they originated.

That is because trouts were brought in from the UK and the US via New Zealand. Trouts are not native to Australia.

You don't mind I add some colours to my postings. Otherwise, very boring.

None of us eat trout. Fresh water fish stink to high heaven. It's all catch and release.
