Seven "Wonders" of Singapore
-
1. Million Dollar Poodles paid more than any other leaders, but cannot solve simple issue like dengue fever.
2. Half a million spent to rename "Marina Bay" "Marina Bay" and to retain and remove a 80 years old tree.
3. Modern slavery as the peasants never really get to enjoy their retirement cos by the time they do, they are either dead or nearly dead.
4. Scholarship given to elite instead of peasants who really need the money.
5. A place where we have too much old poodles who refused to retired and let go of power.
6. A place where poodles are feared by the peasants, instead of the other way. Who is actually the 'civil servant' ?
7. The place where the paper, poodle and everybody are self-deceiving; no beggars and homeless here except they collect aluminum can as a hobby and like to enjoy the nature by sleeping on public places.
what is your seven "wonder" ?? -
whilst i think what you say is mainly true...
but the scholarship bit thing i feel should always be given based on merit, and the needy have bursaries to tide them through education, basic or beyond basic. -

How to deal with dengue? Talkingcock.com suggest to raise the salary of the ministers. -
Solving dengue needs citizen cooperation.Originally posted by Medicated Oil:1. Million Dollar Poodles paid more than any other leaders, but cannot solve simple issue like dengue fever.
They can send officers to check every house. You want? They can fine any house that violates the rules. You want?
Look at the way we deal with SARS and you understand. -
No need to kpkb.Originally posted by Medicated Oil:2. Half a million spent to rename "Marina Bay" "Marina Bay" and to retain and remove a 80 years old tree.
If they never attempted to retain the tree, tree-huggers will complain. The tree is like a heritage building isn't it? When the govt tore down stamford national library, people complained. When they tried to retain the tree and it was shown to be a bad decision, people complain? -
Dengue problem has been around for 4 decades...
as such, I think it is inexcusable to not have already found a solution or, come up with a method of controlling it...
But I guess they were more concentrated on stoking the furnace of the economy to keep their pockets bloated... -
The solution is to develop the vaccine that can handle ALL the four variants. Look at chicken pox .. the problem has been around for centuries .. was it contained before the vaccine came out?Originally posted by ShutterBug:Dengue problem has been around for 4 decades...

To control it requires enforcement and cooperation. We used that during SARS and we succeeded.
Edit: Enforcement and cooperation mean something has to be sacrificed. Poultry animals were killed without mercy to contain bird flu, freedom was sacrificed to contain SARS. -
SARS affected the economy OUTRIGHTLY, hence the government got off their asses pronto...Originally posted by Icemoon:The solution is to develop the vaccine that can handle ALL the four variants.

I just hope they don't let Dengue progress to the stage it CAN IMMEDIATELY affect the economy before really getting off their asses to do somethiing concrete about it...
Hint: They should look into breeding a species of genetically altered mosquitoes that will out-breed the Dengue carrying ones... -
Are we willing to pay the price in terms of freedom and privacy? Are we even willing to play our part in the first place? Look at the infamous fishing pond. It is a shame while dengue has been soaring for weeks, no proper checks were done by the owner.Originally posted by ShutterBug:SARS affected the economy OUTRIGHTLY, hence the government got off their asses pronto...

I'm not sure of the biological solution, its implications, so I shall not comment. -
errmm.. what freedom? Do we have that here? .. anyways..Originally posted by Icemoon:Are we willing to pay the price in terms of freedom and privacy?

I'm not too clear about the background story of that Fishing Pond incident, and what's on the otherside of the coin in this story...
but I do believe the soar in Dengue cases and breedings can potentially be contributed by the enormous numbers of PRCs living in HDB and other forms of rented dwellings, who probably thinks nothing about leaving stagnant water around because of their mentality and sloppy lifestyle... -
Yah lor. Considering we already don't have much freedom, if the govt comes out with "draconian" laws and enforces them, we will be much worse. But luckily some of those laws did address problems like SARS and terrorism.Originally posted by ShutterBug:errmm.. what freedom? Do we have that here? .. anyways..

Yes, good point here. Because of our import of "foreign talents", people who have no sense of community in Singapore, they can potentially be responsible for the soaring statistics. -
ya, so go tell them about it.Originally posted by Icemoon:The solution is to develop the vaccine that can handle ALL the four variants. Look at chicken pox .. the problem has been around for centuries .. was it contained before the vaccine came out?

how you know people are not playing their part. have you been to every household to check?Originally posted by Icemoon:Are we willing to pay the price in terms of freedom and privacy?

6. A place where poodles are feared by the peasants, instead of the other way. Who is actually the 'civil servant' ?
Since they are elected by the people, so they take it that we trust in their brand. The problem is this country is run like a corporation. WE are the employees, they are the President, Chairman, CEO, MD, Directors, Senior Mgrs, Managers, Supevisors and so on. Bottomline is making tons of $$$. -
It is obvious isn't it? Or else how come the fishing pond was fined?Originally posted by zix1:how you know people are not playing their part. have you been to every household to check?
Do I even need to go to every household?
Furthermore since someone said dengue has been around for decades, I argue that without the media frenzy recently, people wouldn't have bothered. Do you mean to tell me we have been playing our part since decades ago? Come on .. -
Not all don't play a part. To use the work "all" is inappropriate. I play my part. I inform the authority when necessary, make sure at home there is no spot at all for breeding. Don't generalise!Originally posted by Icemoon:It is obvious isn't it? Or else how come the fishing pond was fined?

I did a search on "all" (match whole word only) .. couldn't find the incriminating evidence.

IÂ’m surprised that Haw Par Villa is not among the seven wonders in Singapore.
You can catch a glimpse of The Ten Courts Of Hell. The exhibition is very interesting.
The concept 'One reaps what one sows' is the basis of the legend of the Ten Courts of Hell.
Each court dishes out different punishments befitting the sins commited in oneÂ’s life.
The influence of Confucianism is evident. The punishment for disrespect for the rule of law is more terrifying than that for murder.
Examples of punishments meted out for scumbags:
1. For wickedness: Boiled in a cauldron, disemboweled, and put in a volcanic chamber
2. Corruption and greed: Handcuffed and beaten
3. Disrespect to elders: Have your ribs pierced, body grilled, your lungs, heart, liver, intestines and eyes torn out.
4. Violating a Confucian principles or being an unjust official: Have your heart removed, knees crushed and face scraped by a mental instrument
5. Breaking promises: have your lips split -

They are doing it in an indirect manner. By making us toil harder, so that we are too tired to have sex and too tired to reproduce...Originally posted by crazy monkey:AIDS have been around for decades, shd the govt ban sex ? -
Sex makes money for them.. same for smoking...Originally posted by crazy monkey:AIDS have been around for decades, shd the govt ban sex ?

You may be right. According to the Durex sex survey,Originally posted by bigmouthjoe:They are doing it in an indirect manner. By making us toil harder, so that we are too tired to have sex and too tired to reproduce...Lovers in Japan are the least
How come the world's no.1 porn nation is at the bottom of the chart?
amorous, having sex just 45
times a year. Nations among
the least sexually active
include Singapore (73), India
(75) and Indonesia (77)
Probably has to do with the fact they toil very hard.
