Is the government reading the ground in error?
-
Have they really read the ground? Or is it a post-policy decision kind of sweetening the electorate?
-
The ground? What is that? How much a pound? Can eat or not?
I thought they only stay in air one? So that they can see far far mah. Then they are able to come out with policies that will keep Singapore ahead, or so they proclaimed.
When you see them come to meet the people, sure got camera follow one right? Then they can say they understand the people's plight, or so they proclaimed. -
They think we're into hip hop, mee siam comes with hum, what do you reckon?
-
Pity all those who write in their own names mah... they cannot speculate too "wildly" even when they do speculate. See what happened to Mr Brown? Even if they don't do a JBJ or CSJ to you they still do something to you.

Looks to me, like they're reading chicken bones strewn on the dirt ground by some shaman they hired for "insights"....

"mee siam comes with hum"?? can someone pls explain where and how this phrase came about?Originally posted by ditzy:They think we're into hip hop, mee siam comes with hum, what do you reckon? -
well, like i told the bosses about "helicopter view" everyone looks like ants to them...

however, they're not ants, they're humans...
the bosses who aspire to move into Ivory Towers, got angry with me... -

I remember reading an article in which the professional can migrate to other countries cause of their skill compared to those not highly skilled.
The goverment mentioned 800 local migrate to other countries every year.
There is a possiblity majority of them are professionals. I beleive the local leaarning fast from their HK counterparts as majority of HK chose to migrate to Canada before the handover to China n this included senior HK police officers. -

They're not really reading the ground in error.
They're reading it the way they want it to be read. -
They read it as such...if you people are not talented and educated enough; you'll have to live with your own means...better...don't come and seek help from the govt.

THE Government has announced that civil servants will get an extra 1.2 months' bonus on top of the 13th month annual wage supplement. The extra payment will be made up of an Annual Variable Component (AVC) of one month and a Special Bonus of 0.2 month.
Use money to shut the civil servants up. That is acceptable if the do not suppress the opportunities of the poor to make some extra...
The problem could be the very high barriers of self-help if you may. What then are these barriers and can the government lower which barriers of self-help?
Let people sell things at the void decks of HDB blocks. Do not charge them any rental and maybe for electricity. How much money can they make, seriously? How much of a nuisance can they be? Let there be freedom for all and if any problem crops up, deal with it. Do not preempt the problems and build barriers of self-help. This was how the problems started in the first place. This was how the barriers started to come up one by one until one finds oneself in a claustrophobic place. -
i think herein, lies one of the big problems...
people equate the civil serpent with the gabrament.. and the gabrament is equated with the country..
WRONG!
in every other country, governments come and go, the civil service is always there, serving the people...
governments, are transient... and must never ever be put above the country...
the country is made up of its citizens, which the government is duty-bound to serve.. the civil service is there as one of the ways to carry out their policies... and the civil service is duty-bound to tell the government if their policies contravene the constitution or the laws of the country...
now, where are the divisions in Singapore?
they are treated as non-existent by the powers, and also by the people...
and if the people treat it as non-existent, do you think the powers will argue or dispute that?? -
good point, but the reality is on the ground is???? Will it change in the foreseeable future????
-
we do our best.. as the people become more educated and look at the world more, it will come to them eventually...
the change is noticable these days, don't you think?
the days of "put a monkey and it'll still win" are waning..
slowly slowly.. revolutions usually end up with chaos and righting a country from chaos is usually unsuccessful (see Cuba and a bunch of other "revolutionary countries" )
btw, why do you think free and unfettered internet is scaring the pants off most politicians?Originally posted by onceinabluemoon:good point, but the reality is on the ground is???? Will it change in the foreseeable future???? -

Only politicians that enact "official secret acts" and not those that enact "freedom of information act"Originally posted by the Bear:btw, why do you think free and unfettered internet is scaring the pants off most politicians?
Still, the internet readership is rather low. There is also no editor to separate the chaff from the wheat. -
Everybody is an editor of what they read, they should have the maturity to separate the chaff from the wheat.Originally posted by onceinabluemoon:Only politicians that enact "official secret acts" and not those that enact "freedom of information act"

Besides, this editor is may not be subjective too. If that's the case, what is the difference between this editor and 146th? -
Not everyone is qualified to be an editor. Sure editors may be subjective... that is why there are acknowledged blue blood papers and papers recognised as government mouth pieces.Originally posted by Hogzilla:Everybody is an editor of what they read, they should have the maturity to separate the chaff from the wheat.

Many prefer that a paper vet the "facts" before the article see daylight, saving them the trouble of fact-checking. -
