Newsweek Sucks!
“Singapore come up tops in a Newsweek report on “The Best
Countries” in the world with its Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong
receiving special praise for leading the world’s fastest growing
economy.
.... What was not mentioned is the fact that Singapore is able
to adopt liberal economic policies by forcing unpopular policies
such as its pro-foreigner and ultra-liberal immigration policies
down the throats of Singaporeans via ruling party’s tight-fisted
control over the state. Official unemployment figures are also
unreliable as they include PRs as well.”

I hope Singaporeans will now realize that Newsweek publishes
unreliable material and whoever did that report has no journalistic
integrity whatsoever!
Boycott Newsweek for writing this rubbish!
I especially take issue with this statement in the Newsweek
article:
“Education and infrastructure are first-rate and unemployment is
among the lowest in the world”
What the f**k are you talking about? Ok ok, our air-conditioned
shopping centers are first rate. But Education too? Hello! Do you,
Newsweek Writer, know that even in our university, the lecturers
are forced to censor their teaching material and material
discussing or supporting liberalism are discouraged from being used
as teaching material?
And do you, Newsweek Writer, know that many students in our top
JCs still don’t know our Constitution supports freedom of speech
and assembly? They will also not be able to tell you of their
rights as citizens. Something that even students in a small town
high school in America would know.
Did the Newsweek Writer do his research? Has Newsweek not heard
about the climate of fear that is so pervasive in Singapore’s
society and even once WONDER if it would affect what
and how teachers teach their students? (1)
And what about the political science lecturer in our supposedly
“world-class” university who’s presenting fiction as fact?(2) That
sort of thing is apparently a sign of “first-rate” education
according to Newsweek. And here I am thinking that Political
SCIENCE is supposed to be about facts, and not
make-believe stories…

There are many society failures out there who chased and followed
some propaganda magazines to feed their crazed knowledge bank so
that they can put up a false confidence of being elite
individuals.
Only society failures are not able to tell the difference
between truth and propaganda and end up feeling bitter about
themselves in the end.
