Other stat boards can't even protect civilian lives like the PUB
which don't bother to improve safety measures at danger
zones like drains and dams, and now another child drowning
due to their ignorance. Remember the dam incident which
sweet 2 kids & mum out to sea only last yr ?Bloody hell.
If in US, PUB sure kenna sue upsidedown.

I'm not about to, nor have the knowledge to rebutt these comments, but I'm really baffled as to what they are actually doing right. I'm sure they've gotta be doing SOMETHING right, right?
Am I to believe that the govt is totally useless? Hell, if that's the case book the next flight out for me, I'm going back to live in Australia.
So it's that bad huh?Originally posted by the Bear:They did something right in the past...
The old guard comprised of people who were Ordinary Joes, who fought hard to correct an injustice, for the good of their fellow-citizens. They saw the hardships and experienced it firsthand.
Now, the only thing they are doing right is for the continuation of the 1 party rule.. and the idiot opposition is not helping..
What the current lot of lea-duhs come from speaks volumes... some of them come from pampered backgrounds with platinum spoons attached to their mouths.. these are people who have never taken public transport in their lives, never seen how the common man lives, and how the common man struggles.
Power like this, isolates the powerful from the ordinary. And when isolated, they lose touch with what is real and important for the common man.
Can a man who is retrenched from his $850 a month wage be fed by a 2% increase in GDP? Can his family eat the World's Best Airport Award?
There is no voice of opposition (apologies to Chaim and Low but that is the reality) so everything conceived by our lea-duhs is rubber stamped.
If you have a place in Australia, do go there... maybe one day, my girl and I will look you up
Yes. Any fiscal policy will be critisis regardless of how perfectOriginally posted by warriar:It is common that people will praise or hate the budget allocation. A common issue throughout the world.
