They won the elections of Singapore with a strong mandate of 66.6% . Majority wins. It's all democracy. Don't like em? Don't vote for em. Simple.Originally posted by Catknight:A forummer displeasure:
Sounds to me like you are trying to brush aside ordinary S’poreans’ thinking by terming them as “politics of envy”. I think S’poreans are not like a frog in a well; we do know that the rich gets to enjoy a certain life-style. We envy these people, but we don’t begrudge them.
Of late, it seems that the word “globalisation” has been conveniently used as an excuse for any and all negatively conceived policies of the ruling party. Can the party explain what exactly is “globalisation” and why it means we have to bear with lower wages and longer working hours?? S’pore is not the only country subject to “globalisation”, but we don’t see citizens of other countries sacrificing as much as we do. Ohh…and don’t start the “S’pore has not natural resources” crap again because this is the 21st century, not 1960s. Police-men don’t wear shorts anymore.
Let’s talk about meritocracy and equal opportunities in S’pore. It doesn’t take an idiot to know that there is no such thing as real meritoracy in S’pore. For starter, tell us why sons of senior govt officials are listed as “white horse” while serving NS??? Our dear minister Raymond made a lousy attempt to justify this practice by saying it is to prevent special treatment for these sons!!! Is he taking us as morons? If you don’t point out these special sons, how in the world would army officers know they are “white horses”???
Second, children of the rich and senior civil servants can easily get admitted to top primary schools. Why is that so?? Third, I always wonder why spouses and relatives of senior govt officials always hold senior private sector positions, earning big bucks. The list goes on and on.
Now, we have ministers telling us that they need another million dollars a year to “motivate” them to stay in office!!! That’s a load of crap-shit. Name me a minister (or Perm Sec or any other senior govt official) who has made it big in the private sector.
