Washington Post belittle PAP 50 years ruling & achievement
by distort SG GDP ranking
Why did Washington
Post commit this GDP mistake?
SG secondary student can tell u that GDP at PPP is much
better
than GDP at foreign exchange rate to calculate and rank GDP and
GDP per capita
of any countries.Thats why CIA dunt bother to show GDP per
capita
at foreign exchange rate.CIA only show GDP at PPP!!
Why did Washington Post use the GDP at foreign exchange rate
to show SG GDP,at 31 st in the world?
''Economic output
per person is more than $27,000, 31st
in the world and way ahead of its
neighbors,''
If WP use GDP at PPP,SG is not just the 8 th!!
https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2004rank.html
The countries ahead of SG falls into two groups.
One is with small population of less than one million.
Another with natural resources.Singapore is neither!!
@@@@@@@@
WP had 3 options--
The best--.List out both rankings.
The worse---list the GDP at PPP.
the worst---list the GDP ranking at foreign exchange rate.
WP took the worst option!!
@@@@@@@@
The only explantion is WP want to belittle the 50 years
achievement of this little
red dot under one party ---PAP .
They are almost crazy that Singapore do not follow other
countries which
have been ruled under one Party for long time.Development of
Singapore
is simply do not follow the text book of Freedom and Democracy
and Alternative
Ruling!!
What they have been taught since baby is any country ruled long
term
under one Party is no good.They just think of--
Country----GDP ranking at PPP from
CIA
Cuba---94 th from 1959 till now(PAP also ruling SG since
1959!!)
PRC(mainland)---132 th from 1949 till now
Taiwan(island)----40 th from 1959 till now
USSR---(Russia 75 th)from 1911 to circa 1991
Vietnam----168 th including south portion since mid 1970's
etc etc
@@@@@@@@@@
Ranking is not
everything
Ranking cant fill the stomach.The hidden agenda of WP is more
interesting.

A public enemy in Singapore

Singapore's ruling party has been in charge for a
half-century -- since self-rule began in 1959 -- and the opposition Singapore
Democratic Party has never mustered more than three seats in
Parliament....
Singapore is, by many standards, doing remarkably well.
Economic output per person is more than $27,000, 31st in the world and way ahead
of its neighbors, according to the Economist. In China's elite
Communist Party school, Singapore is cited as a model of how to
maintain one-party rule while growing economically -- and not
having to keep too many people in jail....EOQ
