What about to benchmark Spore with Hong Kong?Originally posted by jeramy:ok la the gorvernment, even if overpaid at least safe and secure and prosperity.
look at israel, pakistan..you rather live there with the government? -
i think it is fairer to compare singapore to hong kong.
both countries have a lot in common. -
U knew people from HK tend to immigrate when they cannot coped with life in Hong Kong. They also successful in Canada open their restaurant.Originally posted by dragg:i think it is fairer to compare singapore to hong kong.

Hong Kong and Singapore is completely different.
Singaporean lived a sheltered life and expecting handout every Budget.
Hong Kong People have to rely on their livelihood with no one to complain.
Singaporean like to complain but they know and will eventually follow the policy that was "for their own good".
Hong Kong people can openly protest their view without any fear of backlash.
Singaporean are in the process of political awareness.
Hong Kong people have been politically active for so many years.
Last of all, Hong Kong people are not ruled by highly paid clowns that do nothing but cultivate a efficient bunchs of lackeys. -
Been to Hong kong. No thanks.

yes, previous generation of governments?Originally posted by seow:Isn't this handed over by the previous generation of singaporeans?
in the end singapore is still one of the best place to live in the world lar. yes there might be better places, up to you also.
in my younger years i made my (then) first trip to malaysia and i felt so happy to be living in singapore instead
if we live in singapore and say the government sucks overpaid like sai, then those living in other countries how? what can they say.
the grass always greener on the other side lar. -
The degree on whether the ministers are overpaid depends on their performance.
The people do not know whether the ministers do their work or not.
But, the distance between the people and the MP are getting wider.
The Government is their own judge.
It is like a classroom of students who grade themselves.
I agree that Singapore have achieved this level of progress due to the vision of the past government and the hard work of the people.
However, the vision have stopped after we have achieved the peak during 1990.
Now, we are ti-ganing on what is the next step - Aerospace Hub, Biochemical Hub, Casino Hub, IT Hub ?
We are moving around in circle to "pro-create", "re-create".
Where are we and where are we heading ???? -
haha, then what do you propose the direction we move?Originally posted by Medicated Oil:The degree on whether the ministers are overpaid depends on their performance.

back in the olden days, our advancement of course very evident; easy to see.
we go from poor times until now one of the top nations in the world.
but now? its like we have already reach some sort of "saturation point". maybe there is still progress, maybe theres not. its getting harder to judge now.
juz like a millionaire, he got so much money alraedy, then whats the next step? continue earning his money also some ppl will say not much 'progress' for him.
ok. no need to flame me ok. -
I agree with you that Singapore have become a Millionaire.
But, they have also forget or dunno how they have become a Millionaire in the first place as they are just spending money passed down by their father.
Their concerns now is to get more money through pushing the golden hen and not cutting down on their pay and expenses.
They have also forgot to take care of the golden hens.
In getting the golden hen to lay more golden eggs, the golden hen is pushed to the extreme.
The golden hen can only lay so much golden eggs and the golden hen will get old sooner and later.
Or the golden hen may move elsewhere to lay their eggs. -
haha i still see some people here who are willing to give up freedom for security. as Ben Franklin said, this kind of people deserve neither freedom nor security.

Have you ever stayed in other countries besides visiting Malaysia and comparing it to Singapore? -
while Singaporeans are whiners w less backbone. Cannot handle competition.Originally posted by dragg:hongkongers are more independent. -
our govt's policy is to be blamed.Originally posted by Salman:while Singaporeans are whiners w less backbone. Cannot handle competition. -
I think the people from HK had higher siege mentality, causing them tp peform better.Originally posted by Salman:while Singaporeans are whiners w less backbone. Cannot handle competition. -
yes yes, the govt made lief to secure and comfortable for Singaporeans.Originally posted by dragg:our govt's policy is to be blamed.
So now they are teaching Singaporeans to work hearder, to compete and take responsisble for their own lives more. But the whiners complain.
I watch a documentary where a mother eagle snatches food from its chick to teach it how to be alert and fight for its food. It did it for the good of its chick. -
I have seen many Hong Kong people opened restaurant in Canada, this required long hour of hard work, te local cannot tahan.Originally posted by dragg:hongkongers are more independent. -
ya what, i never said singapore is the best in the world, always comparing what isn't it?Originally posted by jxjoox:Why do you say the grass is always greener on the other side when you say Singapore is still one of the best place to live in?
Have you ever stayed in other countries besides visiting Malaysia and comparing it to Singapore?
i say malaysia then u ask whether i stayed in other countries before..so always the grass is greener on the other side.
yes i agree, there are many many places better than singapore, in terms of security, freedom, in terms of many things.
but when we look at other worst off countries, isn't it a blessing to be living in singapore instead? even though, yes singapore is not the best, my personal opinion is that it is very good in singapore already
now that i made that opinion, ppl will say i no backbone or willing to give up security for freedom, or dun deserve no sai. i say anything lor, but i am contented with life in singapore. -
isn't making life secure and comfortable for its citizens a main objective of any government in the world?Originally posted by Salman:yes yes, the govt made lief to secure and comfortable for Singaporeans.
