The word ”talent” is a misnomer, an anomaly, a deception n it
was couched by the incumbents to hoodwink the population and most
importantly those foreigners who come here.
Labelling them as talent is a pyschological ”placebo” that the
incumbents (knew) and know that it will work. Hence, the labelling!
It is being exploited (cos of ignorance and weaknesses within one)
and one must be intelligent to see thru the bluff.
Excepting a few with specialized skills most of them are here
for low wages and woefully undignifying working conditions. This
deceptive policy (”foregin talent” policy) epitomizes the
incumbents stance of avarice and venality!
It is shameful and disdainful that the incumbents brag about
being a first world nation but the reality is the surreptitious
stance of straw-clutching policies (lax immigration and
requirements for PR/citizenship).It was and is all for political
expediency and lest one forgets – GDP $$$!
Instead of admitting to the mess up of over reliance on MNCs and
mismanagment they continually shift blame on Singaporeans.
Obsession with GDP growth and greed is the undoing.
Off late, no one from the incumbents uses the word ‘talent”. Is
this not telling of what these self-serving type(s) are?
Singaporeans are paying a very high price (economics,social etc
etc) for bleating away like sheep and on the altar of the real ( as
opposed to hypnotic apathy and blind allegiance which sadly is so
ingrained in the Singaporean psyche) it will all sooner or later
collapse like a house made of cards.
the 82 Mps n … are not ''talents'' but simply
yes-man/woman who simply parrot/regurgitate … Yes, I may be
construed as a cynic. However it does not detract from what is
true. Two jarring egs would suffice – why is that not even one from
the ruling party favoured the minimum wage n not one of them ever
spoke or queried about the actual costs of a HDB unit?
It is stupidity to assume or equate academic acheivements with
that of intelligence or talent. One does not have to be a scientist
to analyze/ derive at an answer/conclusion.
The incumbents know and the fear that the ”good” times for
themselves (inclusive of harvests in terms of $$$ via GDP- pegged
wages) would all grind to a halt and the inevitable end is
palpably nearing with the inexorable political awakening (slow
though it is) and now they are desperate to cling onto power at any
cost(s) and still benefit in the short-run.
Lest it be forgotten – they got away and the likelihood of them
getting away is still possible as long as the one-party rule n its
insidious stultifying effects remains as such. The political
landscape needs transformation and not simply window-dressed
changes (NMPS is the most stupid and useless and it is mere
political device that favours the incumbents.)
What is urgently needed is for a multi-party or two-party system
and it is not a question of wheter one candidate can perform or
whether he/she is perceived as capable. Perception is real only in
one’s head. The icing on the cake is not the cake. The real cake is
the tasting (aka delivery).
Can one assume/consider that the incumbents delivery has been
equitable, transparent, accountable, responsible. Intuitively, it
does not feel so. Also, the one-party rule is inherently flawed in
so many ways. We do not have an Ombudsmen, independent
bodies/institutions,/independent media n ….add on.
These self-serving incumbents are pawning Singaporeans future
away fro short term gains with policies/??? that simply cannot be
sustained for long and even if they are, it is to the detriment of
each native Singaporean. It simply does not augur well for the
future.
Singaporeans, as long as they remain unthinking, undiscerning
and susceptible to the propanganda via shitty times, mediacorpse n
channel noise asia would do well to remember that these lame media
seems to be conniving, colluding and worse of all excerbating
matters with thier one-sided views/analysis and ….
Hope Singaporeans can see what is (the reality of such
regressive policing) as it is and not be lulled into seeing,
interpreting .. with clouded lens of the past or allow
bigotry/prejudices (inherent in most of us) to distort
understanding!
