country's life?I mean life not just assembly,protests,but considering
all aspects.like jobs,housing,welfare,health etc

lionnoisy - have you been drowned by your own noise that you are making to propagate the well worn nonsensical propaganda in your inimicable 'bastardised' lionnoisy style ?
As a brilliant opening statement, you asked: ''Can those index / ranking feed your stomach & your kid's stomach ?'' - and you bastardised your entire opening with a loud fart at the end with another question: "My friends, this index tells u the overall life in SG" - {the words are borrowed from a die-hard fan of the Great Shepherd}.
Which doctored index are you using that do not tell the number of people living well in Singapore at this time when there are those in the age 45 to 58 group that still have not found employment since the last retrenchment exercise in 2004-2005 ?
What index are you referring to that has left out those living at the poverty line in Singapore, and are eking their lives in their old age collecting paper cartons, and cleaning tables at food centers ?
Does it help your Singapore any better by deriding another country - Philippines or or any other countries ?

Manila may have its street child exposed to the elements by the corruption of the politicians.
Are you blind to the morally bankrupt policy of the Singapore government who will insist that Social Welfare will not be used as a crutch to help the poor Singaporeans - those who are living in poverty, who cannot even afford to pay their utilities after paying for the rented 1-Room HDB flat - but this Government will UNASHAMEDLY depend on a MILLION Dollar Ministerial Wage to be used as a crutch to prevent corruption amongst the Ministers ?

Yes, the Government under LKY had all the bravado to go against more experienced voices and pushed Singapore into a dubious merger with Malaysia that left us with a huge historical baggage of political problems that will last for generations.
Yes, the Government of LKY had the bravado to push for a Two-Child Family Planning Program, and continued with the policy despite the strong advise from experts to the pitfalls that such a prolonged policy can produce. The shrinking population that we have today, is a result of the Two-Child Family.
Yes, the Government of LKY had pushed aside all advise - even from within his own Elite Cadre Group - that a strong handed approach will only stifle the political interest in the young, which will affect the Soul of the Country; limiting the number of those who will respond with vigor and enthusiastic loyalty into the political world. Now the need for the talented to join Politics has to be attracted by the Million Dollar salary.
Yes, the Government of LHL declared that 'THERE WILL BE NO SACRED COWS' - and yet will meekly turn over the worn out stones, glancing it, prefering not to disturb these stones but to replace it in its position - leaving a stone-hearted policy to be continued despite Singaporeans calling for its change.
So much for the wherewithall to implement wrong policies in a willful way despite sound and reasonable voices calling for reviews.

In the words of your Great Mentor - which I will not make any clueless attempts to make his ''points'' to become ''blanks'' by bastardising his speech in your style:-
"Let us get down to fundamentals. Is this an open, or is this a closed society? Is it a society where men can preach ideas - novel, unorthodox, heresies, to established churches and established governments - where there is a constant contest for men's hearts and minds on the basis of what is right, of what is just, of what is in the national interests, or is it a closed society where the mass media - the newspapaers, the journals, publications, TV, radio - either bound by sound or by sight, or both sound and sight, men's minds are fed with a constant drone of sycophantic support for a particular orthodox political philosophy?
Sir, the basic fundamentals we asked ourselves...is whether the duties of the Minister of Information and Broadcasting are to produce closed minds or open minds, because these instruments - the mass media, the TV, the radio - can produce either the open minds receptive to ideas and ideals, a democratic system of life, or closed and limited. But I know that the open debate is a painful process for closed minds...
But let me make this point: that 5 million adult minds in Malaysia cannot be closed - definitely not in the lifetime of the people in authority. It is not possible because whatever the faults of the colonial system, and there are many...they generated the open mind, the inquiring mind."

show SG is one of the worst!
But to be honest.would u stay or migrated to the countries which
are ranked more free than SG??
Would you stay in a zoo or would you prefer to be able to roam the safari and have your choice to spread your noise in some more tolerant environment ?
Questions
What are the damn uses of the rankings when many people
suffer in the country?
Exactly, is this not one of the favorite past time of your Talented Government - in their use of Statistics to window dress the problems faced by Singaporeans ?

Are you fooling yourself with this consolation prize ?
Did you not just asked - ''What are the damn uses of the rankings when many people suffer in the country?"
You can be more appreciated as a stuffed lion that make a lower decibel noise only when activated.

There are 2 major categories of people
1) Those who compare their situation with pple who are worse off
2) Those who compare their situation with pple who are better off

if you can tell me which other country that only SG is better off overall than them (means no other country is better overall than that country), then I will answer you. -

If you have what it takes to be a foreign talent, I will tell you where and help you get a PR.

With the USA heading into a recession, this maybe the best time to head that way when all costs are down for you to start a new life there in ''the Land of Opportunities''.
Who knows - you may well be the lionnoisy Presidential candidate in another ten to twenty years time - depends on how gregariously noisy you can get with the Americans ?
Try one of the following ways to get into the USA -

The next thing depends on the person.
They can either be motivated to do better, or be stagnant. Both categories could go either way
But clearly, lionnoisy is of the type to compare with pple who do worse, tell himself he's lucky and good, and stay stagnant there.
Then again, nothing wrong with a simple mindset and leading a happy and simple lifestyle

So they say " Ignorant is bliss".

lionnoisy has been convicted of using false personas as well as failing to take up our govt's mandate to learn better global english... how can he apply for PR?
Is it any surprise he tries his best to convince himself that no other nation is better off?
