orh. and 'nuff said about ah hoo please.Originally posted by caramon:"It should be a land of opportunity, a place everyone has full and equal opportunities to be educated to the limits of his ability.
"It would be a country where everyone is treated fairly regardless of race, language or religion...an economy where rewards depend on your ability and your effort...and for those people with drive, imagination, the ability, who can create something new - with some talent, the sky is the limit."
But why is Mr Sim Wong Hoo deny the chance to present his sound blaster project in singapore? Why is he deny the loan from EDB?
-
I support your views. There are NO equal opportunities here on lah. too superficial.Originally posted by NuLife:i have the same view infact. very disappointed.
The recent 'elites' issue reiterated these.
The focus shud be on inspiring, nurturing and building a condusive
environment for anyone/everyone to fulfil their best possible
potential and interests,
instead of segregating into elites and avg people.
-
there are not enough opportunites.....
-
The problem is: Will our future generations have any future in this country, which seems to think elites and foreigners (I mean those so called ' foreign talents') are always better than the average Singaporeans?Originally posted by dlareg:For me, I know one thing's for sure. I'm Singaporean and I'll stay here. After all, home is where the heart is. Despite the hot weather and some irksome creatures, this is where my family and friends are.
Cheers
Home can be where the heart is... but you do not necessarily have to be staying at the place where your heart is, keeping Singapore in your mind even though you are staying overseas can also be a way of showing your loyalty to Singapore, although I doubt that I will ever have that feeling. -
I think Lee Jr becoming SM is a forgone conclusion liao. Unless of course he dies first. And assuming he lives long enough, MM also can.Originally posted by Honeybunz:caramon has futuristic mind. can foresee the future one. -

The main thing about Safety is how you take care of yourself. In "unsafe countries" don't go home late. Practise all the safety rules. Install alarm system, bring pepper spray, don't carry too much money, etc.Originally posted by ah_suaiz:singapore may be very inflexible at times....but i will never migrate.....just look at the crime rates and compare them to other countries.....the idea is: you free safe when you are walking in the middle of the night.....and furthermore my friends/family all here........

He is having a small discussion session with the audience. -
Yep...Originally posted by Cindyfeh:Catch our PM on Channel News ASia now.

What came across to me was that the participants seem to be trumpeting their own achievements.. Especially the grassroots people.. They were relating what they have done and blah blah blah... They seem to want to use the opportunity to boast about what they have done and to score points with the PM..Originally posted by Cindyfeh:Catch our PM on Channel News ASia now.

I was waiting for the hard questions.. But there was none.. All of them were more interested in relating what their own achievments were..
What a shame.. -
If there is a PM-Taxi drivers talk show, the hard questions will be asked. But will there be such a talk show? It is as good as a dream that the casinos will not be built.Originally posted by caramon:What came across to me was that the participants seem to be trumpeting their own achievements..

Also with the current internet technology, why can't we have weekly IRC session with the MPs? Why its only the meet the people talk shows? -
everything was staged.

The NEXT THING you know, they'll be BOOSTING to you about how ALL PEOPLE of SINGAPORE are VERY SATISFIED with THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS and have NO COMPLAINTS... -
X 2. As said. It's just a SHOW...Originally posted by dragg:everything was staged. -
Even if there's such a show for the taxi-drivers, things said might not be aired and there might be censoreds here and there... On top on that, you better be prepared to BRACE YOUR DAYS AHEAD if you really cause them any serious problem because of what ya said over the TV...?Originally posted by Cindyfeh:If there is a PM-Taxi drivers talk show, the hard questions will be asked.
