-
they will evict you if you cant service your loan.Originally posted by eagle:true... but at least the possibility of being forced out by the landlord is very much reduced as compared to places like Hong Kong... where many people rent their houses... -

Do you still need a list of more bungling decisions of this over glorified Government ?
8. How about the lost generations who could not advance into tertiary education as they were ''murdered'' by the insistent grade for Chinese Language before entry into local Universities ?
9. What about the lost generation that did not qualify for the Suitability Certificate to enter University due to their family background of doubtful political leanings ?
10. Will you accept the bungled Family Planning - 'Stop at TWO' Birth Control Policy that did not consider the geometric decline of population growth in less than two generation ?
Need any more to overshoot the tenth mark ?

HK flat quite small compared to Spore HDB flat. Some HK people still think highly of the Spore HDB flat. As for the NS policy, they still need someOriginally posted by Mat Toro:You want free housing for all? What is your altenative?
changes.

Ever heard of the stuff where people say liars need to conjure up more lies to cover their tracks?Originally posted by eagle:I support the initial HDB scheme... because it made housing really cheap at that time of need... 'Owning' your house is way better than renting your house...
Well, it's indeed admirable that I've been introduced to a nowhere-else-to-be-found definition of 99-year leases being known as "ownerships".
Lie, lie and lie somemore...

Yup, Singapore's pinnacle of public free speech. That would make even China under Deng a better champion of free speech. -

1.Look at your maids where do they come from?
They come from countries where they dunt bother
to family planning from 60's till now!!
Where their doctors want to be retrained to be nurses
and work and migrate to US??
Man,there is no perfect policy.Stop at 2 policy is unpleasant.
But if u dunt adopt this policy,it will be more painful now.
from doctor
retrained to nurse!! -
It is already painful now with the 'Stop at 2 Policy' of the 1960s, as we are now asked to catch up with the loss years of not making more babies.Originally posted by lionnoisy:

Now that Singaporeans are unable to catch up with making more babies, the Singapore Government has opened the flood gates to allow more foreigners - (that they claimed are Foreign Talents) - to come into Singapore to compete with us.
Are you doubting the Singapore Government claim of having super talent that even exceed the abilities of those countries where the maids come from ?
Surely, all your trumpet blowing has come to waste ?
Did you forget that LKY had lectured the Philippines and Indonesia what is wrong with their system ?
Do you think that the policies of this Government cannot cope with a population that can produce 6.2 MILLION and MORE ?
What have you been so noisy about ? -
Hello Lion-noisy, you might as well bring up what good the British Colonial has done for us...
From what I see, LHL's generation seems to be seriously lacking. -
The stop at 2 policy WAS right when there were high unemployment ,
lack of housing,schools,hospitals etc.
Ask your grand/parents how they see their human waste fall
in the public toilet and inside full of shiiittt bugs!!
How can sg improve quality of lifes when she cant cope with
too many population.
Dunt look back and say ''U are wrong to adpot this or that policy''
Again,do u know the then poor situation?
2.Have u ezperienced the pre --fax era?
No PDA ,computers,MP3,color TV etc. -
Do you seriously believe in your own speculation that it matters to our grand-fathers and fathers - if there were no TV - (color or B/W), MP3, computers, PDA, or even mobile phones ?Originally posted by lionnoisy:The stop at 2 policy WAS right when there were high unemployment ,

Do you have any clue as to how the generations before us can cope with 10 kids or more and some even had 2 wives to help in making a big family ?
Every hard working individual who migrated here, and who had an iota of entrepreneurial imagination and daring had made it good - largely due to the latitude of political and economic space that prevailed under Colonial Rule.
Tan Lark Sye saw the opportunities in rubber while being a laborer and worked to establish his own company. Not forgetting the other personality named Tan Kah Kee, and some other famed Chinese family names from the Chan's, the Lee's, and the See's - all having made their mark as the Straits Chinese.
As much as the Tan's featured prominently in the Chinese migrant community, the Indian migrants also have their famous sons in the likes of Naraina Pillai, and another famous personality in P. Govindasamy - both of whom seized the opportunities that came their way and grew with the open economy promoted by the Colonial Government.
There were also the famed Arab personalities that settled in Singapore and provided us with their names to famous present day landmarks - Aljunied, Alkaff, and Alsagoff.
All had large families and life was as rewarding as it was challenging - even when they live under Colonial Rule - with no financial or special support to local traders, nor will they compete directly with the local traders.
Jobs were bountiful as Singapore thrived during the days from Stamford Raffles till the outbreak of WW2 - the economic progress being due to the latitude of space made available by the hands-off approach of the Colonial Government.
After WW2, it provided new impetus to get rich as opportunities abound in the many reconstruction works that had to be carried out by the Colonial Government.
Can the same be said of Singapore since self-government under ambitious politicians with their own personal agenda to take over the seat of Power ?
Every ridiculous reasons were given for the ''Family Planning-Stop at 2'' program similar to the impetuous reasons given in support of NKF - despite the voices of caution and restrain in matters that bore long term consequences.
The early voices of caution were dismissed and the Family Planning Program was implemented with religious fervor, and continued into the late 1970s.
It was only around the mid-1980S that it dawned on the self-proclaimed talented elites that NSF recruitments for the SAF was experiencing a critical progressive decline in available MAN-power.
Were the job situation in the mid-1980S any better then in Colonial Times, with the Singapore economy hurtling towards the 1987 economic downturn ?
During the mid-1980S, the Private Business Community were reeling with the purposeful drive by the Singapore Talented Elite to increase workers' wages, and the Business Community had called on the Self-acclaimed Elites to make a U-Turn to their misguided wage policies.
The famous ''NO U-Turn mentality'' of the Talented Elite was the subject of some intellectual discourse by none other than Sim Wong Hoo.
Even LKY had admitted that on hindsight perhaps the alternative voices could have been given some latitude in space in the scheme of things during the 1960s - but then, everyone was groping around without experience; and someone had to make a decision to move, even if it is a wrong decision.
Now we are saddled with a declining population as was accurately predicted by the alternative voices of caution during the 1960s - cautionary voices that objected to the all encompassing and indiscriminate implementation of the Family Planning Program.
By the end of 2008, when the National Library will complete the digital archive of the Straits Times prints that date back to its early founding date, a whole wealth of information will be available. -

Most locals look abroad as alternative, to lower their cost of runnnig their livings, like the way they run their businesses. But locals also do not give up their passports to stay in singapore as alternative.
