Crumbling of Singapore?

One in four NZ children living in poverty

Which casts doubts on your repeated references to NZ as a "First World country"

The truth is that the unemployed aren't lazy.

Some are just victims of circumstances or that nature had dealt them a bad deal

My heart goes out to such people. I feel really sorry for them. However, if official policies are put in place so that all such cases are rewarded with free electricity, a job on a platter or a handout, where is the incentive to crawl out of the hole they're in?.

Unfortunately in Singapore, the government cannot function unless the rules are formalized. Take even a simple case of determining meritocracy. You might think it is a very subjective thing deciding whether a person is good or bad or if you want to make it more objective, look at his achievements but no, even that is too subjective. Inevitably, it falls back on his academic achievements. Here then you find something very objective and measurable, whether it is relevant or not that is not important.

Yes, everything is formalised, SOPs written and followed..that's the flaw of the SG system. Staff are not encouraged to exercise initiative

Sinkieland will never crumble. It's a parasite of the global economy, just like cockroaches in a kitchen with a surfeit of delectable leftovers. As long as the PAPpies do not overstretch the pie and increase the population, this tiny city-state shall maintain its facade of prosperity and wealth for years to come. Even the abject incompetence of the Lee family can't bring ruin to this thriving tax haven.

Agree...Do you see any such men/women in the pap?

Will the pap allow any good Opposition men/women to influence their governance?

The only one among the current pap mps is Lily, but she is too small a fry and also she is aware of her limits and boundaries.
She is also focused on only one aspect of society and that is helping needy people, possibly due to her medical background.
Proper governance by good men and women is much more than just that.

There are other pappy mps I don't really object to, people like Jessica and Alvin, but the rest are mostly yucks............

As for the second question, they may eventually listen, if they see the tide turning aganist them quickly and they are losing their foothold.
Frankly, I have doubts about opposition party members too, they need to prove themselves over time.

If it was just based on academic achievements, keechiu would be the PM and ser luck would be a backbencher................

Deluded, jingoistic Sinkies sneering at the "declining West" are akin to cockroaches flaunting their foie gras in rubbish bags to lions who have to content with Zebra carcasses in the wild. "Look at me! I've a kitchen of discarded food to myself", says the useless parasite.

At least free medical for chronic illness with a guranteed quality of medical care

My heart goes out to such people. I feel really sorry for them. However, if official policies are put in place so that all such cases are rewarded with free electricity, a job on a platter or a handout, where is the incentive to crawl out of the hole they're in?

Quick, tell me, who are these deluded jingoistic sinkies who are sneering? I thot most of us are too busy concerned that we will become the zebra carcasses.......................

hahaha..I can see that you are not a lky admirer

that's true..perhaps her compassion for the poor showed through. so, even if she can be Minister, MCYS, LHL may not want her to be minister, otherwise he will have to stop her fighting for bigger assistance for the poor. LHL prefers men like VB who wld not ask for increases of help for the poor. VB in MCYS makes life easier for LHL

And this is going to happen.

 

[Cruxx]

Examine the record of the "broken record". He has a rich history of misjudgments, incompetence and failures. Only brainwashed Sinkies without a sense of history would be grateful to that useless charlatan.

I think there maybe some PAP Mps who have compassion for the poor. But because that's not PAP's intent, they cant rise up to higher office.

So what shd these MPs do? one way is, if they cant do anything for the people within the pap, to get out and help out of the pap

I hope the pap changes for the better

 

[TracyTan866]

And this is going to happen.

yes, already CCS has overtaken TSL

yes, we are not sure...but if we know that the pap is gg to lead us into the sea, I wld rather give the Opposition a chance
