Disturbing article about Singapore
-
Its true.I don't find it disturbing,just disgracing..
-
the journalist wrote too long.....should have summarized...
-
This piece seems to be written by some ex-Elite who has fallen out from the Inner Circle.
The events and situations in Singapore has been accurately appreciated by his sharply focused mind and tongue.
Kudos to whoever is behind that pen name : Carl Kapeland. -
Our ministers are getting worried that after Durai, we will focus on their salaries next...
-

No need to read that article, a lot of us already know, and hold the same views.
What's NEW man!?!?!
Or rather, what the heck can we do?
NOTHING. -
NKF issue, I suspect many of the stories may have been cooked up by SPH...
See what they did to Dr Vivian's speech... Left their tails -

Wonder where he get the 130-140 billion figure from?Originally posted by Carl Kapeland:Is it mere co-incidence that the conservative ball park estimate of the net worth of the Lee family is roughly equivalent to your country's reserves? (USD130-140 billion?)
I think some forumites like Atobe and billy do not want that to happen, but it seems to be happening with the flooding of Indians, bangladashies and mainlanders and the migration of Singaporeans.
Do you want to have a Singapore with No Singaporeans?
So, God bless Singapore (or whatever that's left of her). -
Pro???Originally posted by dragg:you are very pro-government.
I can tell your, Straits Times report, 50% are false
They say they will support charities if affected by NKF sage, SPH say Govt call them to clean up...
Do you know the charities can get mad? -
i just hope he gets sued.... the way he wrote seems as though he is a crusader.... and a saint.....
does he comprehend the challenges in governing a country or even a big company? it is easy to talk and not be pro-active... not to mention he is not a citizen but a local from Ohio state.... -
Anyway, Straits Times can never be a trusted newspaper...
Some articles other than NKF, they distort facts -
What to do? Singaporeans are like that. They dont want to hear or see bad things even though the truth is right before their eyes.
They love to see and judge everythig from the outer surface and not look beneath it. -
you are writing like you know better.Originally posted by sbst275:Anyway, Straits Times can never be a trusted newspaper...
Some articles other than NKF, they distort facts
if that is the case why dont you write to the forum to dispute what they have written? -
Dispute??? See the editor notes everytime, giving excuses... You think they want to admit their mistakes?Originally posted by dragg:you are writing like you know better.

Some Singaproeans like hmsg still don't know. He should read the article.Originally posted by ShutterBug:No need to read that article, a lot of us already know, and hold the same views.

NOTHING.
What the heck can we do? Definitely not what hmsg suggested: sue the author. -
To sbst, billy, atobe and other forumites love to discuss but find it hard to do any concrete action steps,
Perhaps you can follow Carl's example and write to http://www.aseannewsnetwork.com/singapore.html to publicise your views. At least thats a bit of true action. -
We don't follow American style of Democracy so he write such a thing...
Too common for Americans to comment on other nations -
of coz i read the article. it was written out of context....Originally posted by Cindyfeh:Some Singaproeans like hmsg still don't know. He should read the article.

rather than saying nothing could be done... it was precisely the opposite, the people rallied to get Durai out...
but if the article dafames... sue to show that we are not what it depicts... not just simply ignore it.... we can if we r big, strong & mighty... but r we??? -
sometimes it is too difficult for commoners like us to understand who is really telling the truth.
-
u mean talk but no action.... unlike the rally by the concerned people that gotten Durai out..Originally posted by Cindyfeh:To sbst, billy, atobe and other forumites love to discuss but find it hard to do any concrete action steps,

"we are not what it depicts?" I think the current situation is what it depicts. So cannot sue Carl.Originally posted by hmsg:of coz i read the article. it was written out of context....
