Write between 500 and 1000 words. -
They'd probably skim through it, looking for criticisms. If they find even 1 they'll put the paper through the shredderOriginally posted by charlize:What makes you so sure they will even read it?

You go ahead and write.Originally posted by charlize:You are absolutely right.
You need to start your essay with:
"Kudos to the ruling government for making Singapore what it is today. Without brilliant planning and astute policies, this little island state would never have become the glowing economic success that many countries can only envy and admire..."
Somewhere in the middle of your essay, address the issue of a widening income gap. But make sure the reason you give is globalisation and that there is nothing much the government can do since it is happening everywhere across the world. Don't ever mention the touchy subject of having the highest paid ministers in the world whom despite always pledging to narrow the income gap, see it widening every year instead.
End your essay with another word of praise. Or two.
Remember, use only good adjectives. Kind of like those which MPs use during the previous Budget debates.
Good luck.

A cheap solution to find a solution.

I don't think that their only purpose is to look for solutions only . I think they also want to know what you guys are thinking. Poly and Uni students are the new generation and they are wary of an educated generation which can easily vote them out.Originally posted by Darkness_hacker99:A cheap solution to find a solution.
Get enough people to start hammering FT policies and the ministerial salaries again - they will find some way of offering you an illusion of a large carrot while writing it on a loan chit which you have to pay back 2 carrots. -
