Oh well, given your nick, you will say such biased things, and
that will never equate me to PAP-ist.
I don't think it is biased. PAP policies and their organisation
of society stifled creativity, innovation and chinese entrepreneurial spirit.
This is true.
It's not biased.
Autocratic societies like ours are not creative, innovative
societies.
Basically, societies where people are living in fear of the
state are not innovative societies.
Moreover, Communism, on the winning side of the war, nonetheless
showed that it, like any authoritarian system, failed to produce
innovations, flexibility, and freedom; it could make extensive
industrial advances only by copying freer peoples, and could not
raise its standards of living substantially because it could not
combine lack of freedom and force in political life and in the
utilization of economic resources with the increased production of
food and spiritual or intellectual freedom which were the chief
desires of its own peoples.
