Australia is "truthful" because there are numerous NGOs set up by volunteers and funded by donations to provide support for all sorts of issues and provide publicity and data. This means less time spent in internet forums whinging and more time on the ground organising REAL support and assistance for the less fortunate.

If it was left to the govt of the day, nothing would ever happen as politicians are the same the world over. Bad news is played down. Achievements are amplified.

The difference between the way problems are dealt with in Singapore vs Australia has nothing to do with the PAP and the Gillard govt. It has everything to do with the way ordinary Australians go about helping their fellow citizens.

valid points.

If SG's NGO and media are more open and report more truths, the social media will be less relevant. The pap fails to see this critical point.

The unwise move to clamp down on information flow to its citizens and control the MSM will promote the reliance and increase the importance of social media in SG

Silly is the man who believes what Julia Gillard says too. Her trail of broken election promises makes the PAP look like Angels. ;)

If the problem of "voracious" gambling is an ASIAN one, you can hardly blame the pappies. Blame it on Asian genes which won't change no matter who is in power.

Blame it on the genes may be valid.

Do the Chinese, HK govts know something the pap doesnt?

have u even wondered why HK and China never legalised gambling?
 
They made a highly successful TV series out of it full of nudity, sex and violence as well. You guys should check out Underbelly.

This is the problem with many Singaporeans who have but a perfunctory experience of other countries around the world.

When it comes to vices, Australia makes Singapore look like a nunnery in comparison. The depravity in large Australian cities has to be seen to be believed and much of it controlled by an underworld that probably comes pretty close to early 20th century Chicago.

Those of you who remember the film "The Godfather" starring Marlon Brando would have been able to see the script unfolding in real life in Melbourne over the last few years.

it is not the addiction that we blame the pap. it's legalising casino gambling that is the issue

HK is ranked number 6 in the list of top 10 gambling nations in the world. China is still commie nation but they aren't left out because they now have Macau.

It's been shown in NZ and the kiwis, not wanting to be left out, have produced their own version.

So is HK so what's your point? You said that the HK govt was anti gambling but a quick check revealed that it was number 6 on the list of gambling sin cities.

My stand on gambling is simple. It's a personal choice. People who choose to mess up their lives only have themselves to blame.
