ic...
so i guess only andy lau can sing andy lau's song?
there will always be someone else who can do the same thing or even better
just my 2 cents -
PAP may have its flaw in running sg but we also must remember that no gov. in the world is perfect. Even though the policy nowaday are hard for us to swallow, we must never forget the people who build this country.
In short... " Before we look to the future, remember how we got here." LKY
Pls dun flame me....

Read both volumes ages ago.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't like some parts of the books. They do explain why and how a lot of things in modern Singapore came to be, and there was some sound and pragmatic thinking behind many of the decisions made by the original PAP leaders like Rajaratnam and Goh Keng Swee. I was particularly amused by the description of EW Barker's nervousness when signing the agreement to split with Malaysia.
That said, in the second volume, one cannot help thinking that there was a trace of self-aggrandisement, what with claims of being the origin of the "evil empire" tag for the Soviet Union and all. Still, it is an autobiography, so why not? -
Well, true - we'd be nowhere if not for LKY.
But right now, all I can see is that Singapore is going to become like Japan, where a simple bowl of nooldes can cost S$10.00 in future. And perhaps a bus ride out to the nearest MRT station from heartland estates can cost $2. -
Well, if the noodle seller wants to drive a car and live in a condo, and the bus driver wants 2.5k a month, we must expect prices to rise.Originally posted by ShutterBug:Well, true - we'd be nowhere if not for LKY.

Thanks to Pap for their over pricing of our land cost.....This is an illusion that painted to singapreans that our land is scare...but when look into www.maps.google.com of our singapore land...I noticed many land in prime areas were used for golf course...one goft course is equal to Toa Payoh or more. So..guys..what say you?Originally posted by ShutterBug:Well, true - we'd be nowhere if not for LKY.

Just look at AMK industrial parks...how many are vacant...Alexandra techology Park's occupancy rate, Jurong industrial parks and etc....
I remembered that many years ago..HDB mentioned only 10% of land were built with HDB's flats. So...you see..pap govt is artificially jacking the land cost.
The poor planning of URA and LTA had also resulted heavy traffic congestion even during off-peak hours.
LTA refuse to admit their poor planning or an oversight in planning. Just look at CTE the exit point and entrance point of express way is so near to each other...during the peak hours...drivers entered into express way had to filtered out to express way's centre lane or outer lane.. on the other hand, drivers from express way wanted to exit had to criss-crossed with the out going drivers within 100-200m. Hence, it caused heavy jammed on CTE. But they are dirty enough to pass on the cost to drivers by implementing ERP.
