There is a difference between a good businessman and an average businessmanOriginally posted by Libertarian:How can business flourishes in such a place where the government there have EXTENSIVE non- tariff trade barriers, HIGH LEVEL of confusing bureaucracy and BANS or RESTRICTS imports of raw materals that industries need.
GCT wrong on many things lah!Originally posted by drawer:He say that India will be like China oneday n grow in an economic giant.But frankly speaking,i dont think so.Becoz India is a very slacking n complicated country.Their official languages got 100+,their culture n their government administration is lack of efficiency.
I think what Lou Goh's thought is that he see some Indians in Singapore attain some achievement,thats why he thought that India will also become super economic power someday.But he is wrong,whether a country can attain economy achievement that will greatly depend on their culture,their living habbits n their administation efficiency.
Just like Japanese who live in U.S,they will become more easy-going n flexible than those live in Japan.Indians who live in our country n other part of the world was influence by different environment.Thats why they can attain great achievement.But that doesnt mean that India itself will also attain great economy achievement.
By the way,Lou Goh uses 14 years reign just to prove that India will become a economy giant,i mean dont he has anything better to do?
All I can say...We human beings are moving toward self destruction by show off countries to countries GDP growths.....especially sgHigher GDP is not an indication of destruction. The only point is how it is implemented. As singapore is grown into a modern city it is not a problem for Singapore. But for India there are many issues that need to be addressed. Like enviromental issues and social issues. Since India is democratic everyone has a voice. The media is a free one. So the government cannot go on destroying something to create any new things. The growth rate that India is showing is not by flattening farmlands and giving it to builders, but by finding unused land and using it for development.
Actually, SM Goh's view is right. India and China will be growth into one of the biggest econmoics giant one day. That is because of their mass population and big domestic market.Originally posted by drawer:He say that India will be like China oneday n grow in an economic giant.But frankly speaking,i dont think so.Becoz India is a very slacking n complicated country.Their official languages got 100+,their culture n their government administration is lack of efficiency.

But frankly speaking,i dont think so.Becoz India is a very slacking n complicated country.Their official languages got 100+,their culture n their government administration is lack of efficiency.India is a complicated country but is not a slacking one. We speak many languages(English, Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi, Assamese, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Konkani, Malayalam, Oriya, Nepali, Marathi, Urdu, ..........................), We have many religions (Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Parsi, Bhuddism, Jainism, Bahai, .....). All these things make India one of the unique nations in the world. The most multiplural society in the world. Indian culture cannot be described by religion, or languages there is something more complicated that requires a lot of study to understand. India is a united world for more than one billion people who wish to live in a peaceful, democratic, pluralistic society. Who wish to live side by side another person whose religion or language is different because he believes in cooperation and mutual understanding. This is the basis for India many a centuries. India exited many centuries before the British came. India still exists and the culture and the good work of Indians is still appreciated world over. India will remain since its strength lies in a plural society.
He is not wronged..unfortunately..the real talent never heeled to his request...Originally posted by googoomuck:GCT was wrong about India?
He was never right......about nothin !
He's a fair weather minister. that's all.
MM Lee cannot be displaced.
It would be too difficult to replace GCT and entirely unnecessary.
If he were to retire today, I predict two months from now no one is going to remember him.
the real talent never heeled to his request... Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad An example will be the MBA where he visited..very few out of the 10 of thousands selected. Very few graduated, even very slim that they wanted to come here.. Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad The real foreign talents.. Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sadHis request was well received by the IIMs and they are already made plans to start operations in Singapore, Dubai and in the U.S. IIMs came with new ideas to go abroad after the Singapore Prime ministers request. This will help the Sinapore students with a new oppurtunity to learn at one of the best management institutes in the world.
