Dun see them as complains, more like disagreements. Also received a few agreements, but that's what makes having these forums great no?

If you want to be rational, then you have to be brave. Brave to look at both sides.
Brave to see and think what are the possible pifalls of greater democracy, and brave to see and recognize what are the benefits that the present system has served for Singapore.
That isn't both sides! You forgot: Brave to see and think what are the possible benefits of greater democracy, and brave to see and recognize what are the pitfalls of the present system.
Let's combine them, for extra bravery:
Brave to see and think what are the possible benefits and pifalls of greater democracy, and brave to see and recognize what are the benefits and pitfalls of the present system.
No need to thank me, brave one.

the people who complain here probably are still not married, everything also want more
only know how to whine when things get bad
aiya joachim, some singaporeans are like that
gahmen did 10 years of good, they will not notice
gahmen did 1 second of bad, they all kpkb
i think sg will still be a third world country if LKY never do anything

are you saying that "if its ain't broken, dont fix it"
Circumstances changes with Time, I would say that it will be too late too fix it when it's broken
Living here is stressful, too many rules and regulations to understand and is not a gracious place to live even among Singaporean
I agree that LKY did what he had to do at that time but that was 30 years ago
even communist china and russia have changed and yet we are still living in a superficial democracy front with marx's rule in the back
same as you are restricting your 43 years old kid with his family on what to do, but at least there is love but here the father takes all for his own pleasure and taking as many concubines as he wishes. - well this is how i feel

Okay lah, let's be fair. Singapore is a good place to stay because so far we are not affected by any natural calamities in big scale manner, but this is not the credit of our ruling party anyway.

Cigarettes cost $10+ on average..
How to be a good place to stay?

i like going out at 3am knowing i won't get mugged.
i like the amount of tuition subsidies i get when i am getting even though i wasted a good 4semester worth of it when i was a kid
i like what NS did to me, i taught me responsibility and gave me directions to what i am studying now.
i like how there is no idiots screaming in the street for change in the goverment when they themselve would definately do worst.
I like this country, its a great place to live. Singapore rocks.
ps: they could do better to raise the pay of healthcare workers thou. -
Found this pic in a forum.
Knowing LKY's fondness for money, can anyone imagine his home furnishing ideas?
The living room, bedroom, the study and other rooms probably look like this

Tis is wat i think la...
ther r people who think PAP did a good job while there r people who think they do not. I try to classify them into categories
Hate PAP
1) Believe in democracy. Hate gov in their dealing on freedom of speech and dealing with opposition
2) Hate the salary of ministers and connections of a certain family
3) Felt life is getting worse than before and blame on gov
4) Believe gov r genuinely incapable
Love PAP
1) Respect figures, statistic and results showing singapore achieving a lot despite many limitations
2) do not believe in democracy as it does not work in many areas while singapore model is getting popular among emerging countries. Democratic countries seems to face problems with model of democracy
3) genuine believe gov is helping citizen in many areas using scientific and logical ways
If i am not wrong, u will see arguments going about these few points above.
My personal belief is tat democracy is not working as well as others thought it should. It has nothing to do with confucious etc but by seeing news and how good the governance these countries r doing. In democratic countries, people r spoilt and no matter who become gov, the popularity drops like crazy over silly small things. People r no longer united and seems to split into different sides of the fence. Gov to please the people start to do ridiculous and short term decisions. People just wanted change as though it is some miracles and they just keeping changing gov while life simply becomes worse and worse because no one wanna lose out for the greater good.
I just do not see why people think democracy is good. I think it is just western propanganda

Somehow stupidissmart is starting to sound a bit like DeerHunter.
