The Mighty Men That deserved Many People Respect.
-
Just look at the rich men and superb ranking officials of Singapore and compare them with the two men in term of generosity.
Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are arguably the two most successful living men and certainly the two wealthiest ones. Going by economic status, they are the top two super-elites and the biggest winners of our times.
However, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett's attitude towards charity and philanthropy couldn't have been more different than the view held by locally bred elites who consider themselves as winners in the game of life. Warren Buffett is donating 85% of his 46 billion wealth to charity and Bill Gates has gone even further -- he pledged to eventually give away his entire fortune (save a tiny fraction for his children). In fact, he has already given away 29 billion in the last five years alone.
In life, we do not need tonnes of $$$. Our elites and ministers have got wrong values for life.
Just look at the amount of $$$ that they are getting; salaries, perks, dividends, self declared shares dividends and bonuses(of course with board of directors of own people), fees and etc.
Now, with these amount of $$$ they are drawing....we know how much disruption to Earth is going to be.
Hypocrisy, they still have the balls to tell us that the earth is depleting in resourses and deterioting if we do not start to do something to protect our Mother Earth. What the Fark!!! -
They have reached the last stage on Maslow hierarchy, Self Actualization.
Our locals? I think maybe they are at state 2, Safety needs?

I urged the sg govt to re-exmaine the governing system now. Please spare a thought for the middle-low income earners.
You guys are enjoy luxuries in life and living like emperor....all of you were born with golden spoons and had never understand the agony of peasants. I believe in retributions.... you guys may enjoy now but......just a matter of time ..... one or few of your descendants will definitely fall into poverty. Sure you will....one day. This is vicious cycles of human nature...nothing will last forever.
The middle - low income earners..........................................have to sweat out to earn some miserable dollars and struggling to overcome day after day before the final day comes.
I urged all sg govt and high ranking officials to exercise good karma from now.......by donating 50% of your assets and liquid cash to all the poor peasants....by doing many Good deeds, it will prolong your wealth and health.
You blood Suckers must believe in me...please. -

Maybe the government wants to reach the standards of Warren Buffet and Bill Gates before they consider giving some money back to the people.

Wait till the sky to collapse and the ground cracks; Wait till sea become dry and stone chao seng. Or maybe like what Qiong Yao wrote in Huan Zhu Ge Ge, "Heaven and earth merge, mountain without edges", then the "maybe" will come out. -

IMO Bill Gates give alot of money away but he also break many ppls rice bowl thats why not many ppl like him. Also he try to force every1 to use winxp which i think isn't very good.
-
Although, he broke some people rice bowls but he is no doubt created much more wealth to people and in generous ways. Don't forget...he donations is more than 50% of his personal assets and liquid cash.Originally posted by Skibi:IMO Bill Gates give alot of money away but he also break many ppls rice bowl thats why not many ppl like him.

Do you our elites or mini-stars are that generous? -
How does Bill Gates compare with those who break rice bowls and still take and not give anything away?Originally posted by Skibi:IMO Bill Gates give alot of money away but he also break many ppls rice bowl thats why not many ppl like him.

An assumption. Not a fair statement.
Have you taken into consideration people who has done charitable act but prefer to stay away from the limelight? -
isnt this statement also an assumption?Originally posted by TooFree:An assumption. Not a fair statement.

Gates created many jobs too, directly or indirectly...
Those who do not tink or move fast enough will hv to stay behind... It is only Fair~!
wat the government can do is to provide the Best education for its People. And the people will need to come up with their own ideas to meet it's fellow own People's Needs and thereby generating income for themselves...
Dun flame me. Discuss only

Decreasing the salary of the Million Dollar Poodle ?
Do you want them to be corrupted ?
Do you want them to give excuse for not doing their job ?
Will you want to miss the BS speech about building a cohesive Elite sociey ?
Do you want to miss the hip hopping event in Chingay next year ?
The mighty men that deserved all singaporeans respect are the founding fathers that slogged to make all singaporeans equal, NOT ELITE regardless of paper qualification, financial background, family background and white horse.
Time for the Million Dollar Poodle to recite and understand the Pledge.
I guess they are too busy meeting with 1st president of the lion city. -
the ministers' salaries are ridiculously high.

A charitable act is a genuine desire to help that come from the heart.Originally posted by precipice:isnt this statement also an assumption?
Mr Bill Gates and Mr Warren Buffett has been chosen as role model by the media. On the fairer side, we cannot just dismissed many others who had lent a helping hand but are not reported in the media because they choose not to. -
