WTF!!! I saw it Straits Times that the Job Credit Scheme policymakers are under 30, except the director. While I strongly believe that these young people are very smart, very high chance they are super scholars, I doubt they have the experience and ground knowledge to handle such matters. I know that the government want to inject young blood and look for the next generation of leaders and this bunch will go very very high up the food chain. If the team is a mix of young and old, it will be good, but all under 30????

Under 30 policymakers!!!

While age and experience does comes into play when implementing policy, the job credits scheme does goes about mitigating the current downtown, while it remains to be seen how the downturn will play out. They might need to do more.
True. But a better focus would be on job creation locally. We got alot of good things going but somehow we are not capitalising on them.
Hmm, if you are fresh out from school & NS, what do they know about work life? They haven't gone through the job cycle of working, layoffs, employment, etc. If they are scholars its worse as they only have the experience of an "elite" .
Maybe thats the problem with Spore, too many bureaucrates in charge missing the human touch
Opening more doors on the quiet to the under 30s to facilitate the entry of a future prime minister? Have the people get used to the idea of young but supposedly highly capable (at least in the regime's opinion) scholars? A family is in a hurry! Very little time left!

That'll explain why the employers are seeing the money, not the employees. As for these scholars, why should they worry.. they have an iron rice bowl.:oIo:
I am not against young talents. But wisdom often comes age. I recalled the days when Goh Keng Swee the then DPM and also Minister for Education brought a team of very young system engineers to revamp the education system. Just look at what we inherited!
A fresh scholar son of a friend had been asked to look into how to improve tourists numbers to Sentosa. Without any experience he was of course at a total loss! And no he didn't propose the IR.
Especially if the under 30 is related to the great one
Looks like another generation is being groomed to take over
I understand that for new faces for the next election, over 40s need not apply.
This governmnt has reached the epitome of social engineering.

To be precised, your sentence shud read like this. Looks like another SON is being groomed to take over

While its true these people need not apply, there will be alot new faces out there who are related to the "right" people.
Spore will eventually go bankrupt supporting the old & new elites.
Please see highlighted in RED, I don't quite buy your statement. Smart people has to be tested in the street and not by the book.
No, don't forget there are many sons & daughters out there with the Lee name & of course family relations .
Getting young blood is one thing, but they dont have life experiences. I highly suspect that this bunch have not tasted shit before and will not taste it. It will make them lose touch and be very arrogant, as we are seeing from statements made by our “leaders”. I fear for the future.
I know what u mean, but does your goverment believe in it?
If there is any left given the current messy state and half-hearted solutions in budget 2009. The new bloods are just supplments for our leadership deficiency. I can't wait for the coming election and in eargness to see changes in our political landscape. I senses corruption within Pap Inc and this has to be stopped before it gets worse.
