A wall of text. I can see where our education system had failed with you. A regurgitation of facts without critically analysing what was written.I better stop probing you, young man, for each probe only reveals how shallow your mentality is.
Fortunately each year's cohort of school leavers is about 97%, them being educated. You must one those left behind. For your sake, i would advice to thoroughly read and understand, and analysis what was written, and what it actually means, how it can or cannot be applied, and under what circumstances those hallowed names had share their thoughts on.
If you don't, you will forever be an outcaste of society, ignored by your peers, and will forever be doom to anger, never knowing why you sub-consciously cast yourself out. I personally have no wish to see you left behind.

Somehow, in this thread, I don't think M13 is even attempting to analyse or debate with you on the issue of human rights, but merely posted information for everyone to read.
Don't see anything wrong with that. He's not on the side of anyone, other than his single post poking at Gazelle.

Regarding CPF and Human Rights.
Eveyone has the right to spend his CPF anyway he wants.
He has the right to decide when it's time to leave cruel Singapore, for a better place.
It's only mandatory to reserve the minimum sum needed to pay the govt the lethal injection needed for euthanasia.
He has the right to leave zero cent for the govt of Singapore.

For your sake, i would advice to thoroughly read and understand, and analysis what was written, and what it actually means, how it can or cannot be applied, and under what circumstances those hallowed names had share their thoughts on.
If you don't, you will forever be an outcaste of society, ignored by your peers, and will forever be doom to anger, never knowing why you sub-consciously cast yourself out. I personally have no wish to see you left behind.
Welcome back.
BTW, Thomas Friedman has a new book called "Hot, Flat and Crowded".
Have you read it?

CPF is similar to a MLM scheme. new members contributing and useless older members retire
CPF is the backbone of Singapore economy and we need to bring in more FT to contribute as Singapore got no resources - no population growth = no CPF growth
What will be the consequences without CPF?
only problem - how is it utilise?

MLM doesn't guarantee 100% capital retention, plus 13% extra bonus from employer. and no extra work done.
try another analogy.

Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.
You choose how you spend and how you save, liberty to use your money at your own discretion, that human right. Anti human right is compulsory force saving. They are not god they won't come down to understand individual like you understand yourself.
I pretty much agree with the first statement but only in extreme circumstances. Being pragmatic and responsible, however is not neccesarily being conforming. North Korea is a pretty good extreme example.
However, freedom comes also with the price of responsibilty. You want the freedom to chose how you want to spend? What happens when someone spend it unwisely and lose every penny? 0.01 % screws up and the 99.99 % would have to take care of them.
Are you sure you want a system that believes everyone would behave in a responsible manner? Especially when you ultimately have to pay for the mistakes of the irresponsible?
On the contrary they do understand you perfectly, that's why there's the CPF.

How demeaning the government doesnt believe we can spend the money as wisely as they are spending it for us
So you're saying the responsibility of people handling their own finances is too much for them to bear that the government must handle it for us?
How would we be paying for the mistakes of the irresponsible? If the government makes losses in their investments aren't we paying for their mistakes too?
Why would a nanny-state system whereby basic responsibilities are handled by the government be better than a system that requires responsibility and empowers people?

CPF's good at 4% return.Only problem is they keep increasing the minimum sum til you are not able to get back all your money when you retire...or even when you die.

It's not really much of a belief, even in America people borrow more than they could repay. Wisdom is only earned through hard lessons, wouldn't it be worse to assume everyone is going to spend their money wisely? And sometimes, it may not even be due to their fault as demonstrated by the Lehman Brothers bonds.
Not really, but the work required to take care of those who do not handle their finances would be a ever increasing burden. It's far easier to get into bankruptcy, than to get out of it.
Well now, if a man ( and i intentionally use a male here) spends his money irresponsibly and blows it all. How is he going to pay for food/water/lodgings? He can't, so he has to be a begger/vagabond.
Now, as like any decent society we don't want to see that happening on the streets yes? So either the government or charity organisations have to step in to help him. They have to, because men with nothing to lose are willing to do anything even resorting to crime. And they would become a disruption to the running of the society.
And thus, we have to pay for their mistakes. Humans are social creatures, what we do ultimately affects others.

You are absolutely correct.
But what i've observed so far is that the government has been putting money into long term investments such as Fusionpolis, the animation and gaming industry, Newater, a test bed for alternate energy, the Marina Bay Reservoir...etc.
The current economic crisis has hit everyone badly, so i'm not surprised to see some of their investments in foreign corporations tanking badly.
That would depend on what you based your social values on. Is it Legalism, that all men are born evil or Confuciusm, that all men are born good?
A system that requires responsibility and empowers people demands that the people in the system understand that responsibility to the society comes automatically with power. So far i have not seen any country accomplish this.
A nanny system prevents us from fulflilling our fullest potentials as humans yes. But at the same time it avoids the worst excesses from a totally "free" society. This works on the premise of Legalism.

So lo sor, all philosophy craps and crabs, just go into pragmatism and realism, the govt are in shit and now it is show time for them to prove to us that they can pull us thru this hard time without increasing our tax and prices. Be more realistic and practical, like it or not, recession is here, time are bad, let see how I can get the best opportunity in these bad times will be more practical -
