Haiya.. how can you expect an explanation to things that are obviously only meant benefit one party?? Of course you will get beating around the bush and side-stepping what... there's been so much side-stepping going on for so long it has become a Uniquely Singapore Dance already....!!!Originally posted by soul_rage:No I am not VERY sure. Becoz I don't have proof and statistics to back myself up, legally and statistically speaking, I cannot be very sure.
That's why I am still waiting for those who see the Govt as a good govt, to back up the policies they have implemented so far, and help the Govt explain their positions.
The govt always say it cannot afford to explain and explain and explain, coz it has to move fast to help Singapore, so why can't those whom think they are good, help them to explain to us poor citizens?
And with your above statement, you are sidestepping like what our ministers do. I am inviting you to raise your opinions on why you think the 4 topics I raised are justified, and as I mentioned, its open to debate.

Ok, so next time, we see an OPF we request for a detailed explanation - otherwise we can tell whoever that is, to STFU...!Originally posted by soul_rage:of coz I know what you mean
But haven't you noticed that till now, there is not one commendable voice that is willing to speak properly on why in their opinions those issues we raised are justified.
Instead, they have been continuously asking us to justify why we think otherwise.
So instead of entertaining them repeatedly over and over again on what we think, we should start asking them their opinions
they have other concerns or priority to work on, so between making the necessary changes to retain local talents and making $$$$, making $$$$ seems to matter more.Originally posted by ShutterBug:hehehee...it is useless for the Government to worry.... all they need to do is look into WHY locals are leaving, & act on retaining locals by making the required changes that will retain locals...
But the way I see it, looks like they aren't willing to make changes so the talent & citizen leak continues...
their main motive of coming here is to attempt to change the mindset of the people about their beloved pay and pay, so that's why they can't be bothered to talk about their opinions on issues that are raised.Originally posted by soul_rage:of coz I know what you mean

And that's the difference between the Nordic countries and this regime as far as economic governance goes - the latter is so short-sighted they're unable to comprehend how retaining talents (at the expense of compromising on the immediate gains) could actually be a safer bet yielding better profits in the long run.Originally posted by zix1:they have other concerns or priority to work on, so between making the necessary changes to retain local talents and making $$$$, making $$$$ seems to matter more.

It's about time this regime be run by the Finns who are far more effective and able to go about their business at a fraction the cost of the clowns running the current regime.
