Predict what will happen when LKY is no longer around`
-
I am seriously contemplating this issue. All of us are but just mere mortals who are only here for a short while. After which, we will die and we can't escape that fact. This also includes LKY. So what do you think will happen once LKY is gone?
I believe PAP's real test will come after he leaves this world. -

I think once LKY is gone, GCT will stop serving as SM, then the govt wont have MM or SM,....in my opinion though, SM Goh wanted to enjoy retirement in aug 2004 but was stopped by LKY.......Originally posted by win_ong81:I am seriously contemplating this issue.

Are we enjoying Swiss standard of living? Are we earning first world wages?
If we are earning such wages, we do not mind paying the highest costs or the highest salaries in the world to our ministers. If we are paying the highest costs and earning third world wages, will people have cause for annual celebrations in the annual chingay.
I am afraid now we have to think clearly which state are we in. If we are not in the swiss state but have to pay highest costs to keep the elites in their well self-paid jobs on top of all the controls and elitism, then I don't see the cause for annual chingay celebration. It is a fake success story good only to tell to the lucky elites and super-rich few. -
sorry to burst your bubble LKY but we are enjoying the shits standard of living, sad to say.
-
Maybe once LKY has departed, What if the elites may conspire to take his place!....then we will have a bigger problem.....LKY had been from 60s hardships and the elites now will be more complacent?
What a doomsday scenario! -
I might consider flying back to Singapore tp celebrate with my friends.Originally posted by win_ong81:I am seriously contemplating this issue.

Give some respect for LKY pleasse....
Afterall he worked hard to prgress our nation... -
Yes, I agree we should respect MM Lee for what he had done up to 1970s.Originally posted by Harris_JeyaRaj:Give some respect for LKY pleasse....

After 1970s, Singapore has wasted its valuable time in over-relying on conceptual leadership or presumed talents of a few at the expense of nurturing practical entrepreneurs and knowledge application under broad-based educational system and forward-looking strategic economic master planning.
It was justifications all the way using the news media to put out pro-government statistics to appear successful. Even election system like GRC, election deposits and electioneering defamation suits were gerrymandeered to suit his own political control purpose.
The Asian Financial crisis and last two deep recessions saw our leaders and talents totally helpless trying to talk out of problems and responsibilities.
Yet, the leaders continue to pay themselves upward, higher and higher. They continue to pretend high costs do not exist. They continue to practise narrow pro-foreign policies of all kinds thereby stifling the whole economy. Many academic and practical entrepreneurs have migrated to other countries under such conditions.
The so-called general conceptual leadership of a few men could not produce real economic competitiveness. Most of our entrepreneurs are non-academic talents but they drive the economic growths and create jobs. This important criterion of good government he didn't understand. Good government has to involve and motivate the whole populations including the not-so-talented non-academic lots who are actually the real firing power of the economy.
Because of MM Lee's major policy errors being too theoretical about talents and leadership without broad-based knowledge application and coordination with all, Singapore is very short of real economic competitiveness in the form of world-selling products with a general helplessness unlike the Korea, Taiwan and Japan and to a certain extent Thailand, Malaysia who do not have to tax their populations in the like manner as Singapore did. If Singaporeans are more demanding of him to perform above benchmark, they are not wrong in making such demands - because he considers his team the world's best talents and pays them the highest ministerial and civil servants' salaries in the world. Then they must be judged accordingly and not flinch from challenge or judgmentalism.
If our leaders can only manage by high taxes on COE and HDB, they are not real talents or good leaders. It appears that they can only maintain or at the most wait for another world tide ..even that tide is becoming increasing difficult to ride. -

if singapore is a company, the employees would have noticed corporate governance issues, conflict of interest, perhaps something close to Enron ..Originally posted by robertteh:The road of good intention is paved with broken bones, dashed hopes and disappointments !!!
