Can't government help the local more instead of Russians
-
After the inept investment of our hard-earned monies in SouZhou now we are told that MM Lee has promised to build some more industrial parks in Russia. Why not concentrate on helping Singaporeans who are underpaid, overworked, over-taxed or out of work. Many families are out of bread and have their electricity cut off and waiting for rescue but here we are seeing our hard-earned monies splashed round in bangalores and souzhous without regard to needs back home.

Not a fair statement.
There is more to meet than the eye... -
(Posted by "aussie" at CNA 13.10.2005 ]How to create wealth for the citizenry instead of suc'king them?
REPLY BY ROBERTTEH
This idea is barely sufficient to cover 10% of the objective.
It is just like cornering 80% of the world market for oil rigs making $5B so that others can make $500B.
We are looking for 1st grade management...or lose the game.
Leaders must have forgotten the simple and basic duty of government - how to create wealth instead of sucking them.
Now the sucking seems not enough. It is pumping out people's monies to start up industrial parks for others that is verging on the preposterous. -
Hmm... another approach of looking at it.Originally posted by robertteh:REPLY BY ROBERTTEH

I would not be so quick to dismiss this venture.There are international politics at work here.

Hi Lazerlord,
I agree with you there might be some international agenda just like in Souzhou investment.
However leaders must still know how to practise accountability by having such subtle agendas vetted and be ready to be scrutinized by their peers within established panels.
Citizens' right to ask for their public monies to be better protected against inept decisions or over-zealous actions on the part of any individuals can then happen.
This accountable corporate governance is essentially what citizens are asking to be introduced into our system. If not done and postponed, the system will one day collapse like a pack of card or NKFs. -
something to do with expenditure.
"some for entertainment and business and expansion and show off" , some for transport, own expenses, some for children, wife, savings, and so on.

Did MM Lee say he was setting up an industrial park in moscow? I recall him saying SG would only focus on at most 2 economic packages for Mother Russia.
-
Ya, he did as reported in CNA. He said Singapore has been offered 10 projects but he will take part in one to two projects which should be close by. He said that this is because of certain language and culture problems unlike the situation in China where language and culure would not be a problem.Originally posted by BillyBong:Did MM Lee say he was setting up an industrial park in moscow?
