Criticism or solution.....which one comes first?Originally posted by PRP:It seems very fun to debate,to criticise.For example,the topic about all out to defame the govt. It has more than 20 pages in a short period of time.
It seems there is no purpose,just talk and no action.Nothing constructive!
Which idea do majority fo the members support?What do u want to see to happen in this country?
Let us see more constructive idea & members pls show your support.Then perhaps the govt would act on it.
Which one is the govt more concerned about? I believe the former. Criticise and solve or solve and then criticise?
We have posted solutions before over the years. Robertteh and Atobe among them, have you read before? -

"They come to my rallies, listen to my speech, have a good time. Then they go and vote PAP." - J.B.JayaretnamOriginally posted by ShutterBug:Curiously, how old are you guys in here who hates PAP?
Because over the weekend, I visited my old hometown at Tanglin Halt, and met an old Peranakan man of around 60+ who berated PAP non-stop... -

The topic is "Members.be positive!"That's what u should talk about.Originally posted by Jontst78:Why wrong topic leh? you asked "What do u want to see to happen in this country?" So the above is what I want to see happen. -
There are many members who oppose or dislike the govt.But when i came out the topic"the govt should resign" with good justification,there are few members supported my call.The reason might be most members lack positive attitude.
Since members didn't support that call,of course the govt wouldn't resign.But of course even almost all members supported my call,the govt wouldn't resign too.But at least members do their part and there is a show of 'ppl power'. -
Yup Yup,Originally posted by PRP:The topic is "Members.be positive!"That's what u should talk about. those I listed are what I feel, to be positive changes that I would like to see in Singapore -
Probably most of us come here with a critical mind.When we read something not rgiht,we comment.But when we read some msg which are good,we just read & remain silent.So i suggest the "At least 1 positve msg per visit" idea.

Take the GRC boundaries. I know this will be a non-stop debate if this is ever started, but this move is nice. Otherwise, Singapore would only be ruled by Chinese despite having other minority races here.
since when did singapore has 6 racial groups that these so call which form the 6 member GRC tag team? if it is really for minority representation, i am all in for it. but we all know, it is not. -

I think it's the 4 major races here, Chinese, Malay, Indians and Eurasians (or Europeans?)

Not 6 different races for every GRC team.
Of course, we all know the GRC teaming has more meanings. For now, I'm happy with the GRC reasoning... (I know it's a bit naive to believe in just this reason) but as per my previous post, I do have certain disliking for this ruling. -
whatever that we say here, whether you deem them constructive or not, will still be just talk. action can only come about if you stick your neck out and challenge the PAP at the polls.Originally posted by PRP:It seems very fun to debate,to criticise.For example,the topic about all out to defame the govt. It has more than 20 pages in a short period of time.

Let us see more constructive idea & members pls show your support.Then perhaps the govt would act on it.
i'm at least happy with the generous announcement of new land parcels to ease the property boom.
i don't know if what we say here has anything to do with their decision. -
Snow Leopard,
I think there is a possibility. -
If one want to seek support in this forum,i think it would be impossble if manority of the members don't have positive atitude.

aiyo, why you so strict? Take it easy lah!!! Life here is getting tough you know with the silly gahmen making it so tough!! Now you wanna be so strict!! Hey, let your hair down!!
Many members are obsessed with S'pore politics.They don't know where to put their opinions under appropriate topic.[b]They simply can speak out of the topic!So i suggest this forum need not seperate into different topics [/b]
-
Rane,
Ya,shouldn't be too strict.Anyway,i'm not the mod and i can't control what u all do.
I believe speaking related to the topic should be the right way to go.Cheers! -
When all become very critical when participating in this forum,we seem to think we are very smart.But there would be lack of warm feelings in this forum.
So some agreements,achknowlegements,praise & constructive ideas would be good to all. -

Set up your own forum then. Speaker's Corner must remain a base to launch constructive criticism.

i totally agreed with you that there are too much negativity in this forum. No constructive message or ideas.
some participation need counseling desperately. They write like they are ready to kill someone. -
I would be more constructive. If I know my comments and suggestions are being heeded...

There were 2 new topics created yesterday which i think are very good.This is a progress.
