because the economy is bad, so people are more free? so what
happens when the economy is good, and people have more jobs?
How many jobs can anyone work on with the Labor Laws that even
determine the amount of time ?
Unless you are a factory production worker that sits as a
machine operator and becomes part of the machine, your
productivity is measured by the number of items produced.
With the more talented foreigners doing this kind of repetitive
works, what is there left for intelligent sparks like you to
perform ?
In any case, can you even abscond from NSF Reservist Training
for reasons of your work being too much ?
The same goes with Jury Duties as a responsible Citizen,
which obviously you know nothing about as you have not even
experienced nor understand its usefulness and functions.
about the jobless stuff, my bad, my english is bad, and since
you have clarified it once, i won't mention it again and again and
again and again.
yah, there are books and reports on the cons of not having a
jury system. why am i not surprise? maybe because every system is
not perfect? why not read a book on the cons of the jury system
while you are at it?
Are there any cons in any system that cannot be fine-tuned
and ironed out ?
Have you read any book on the cons of a jury system that is
impossible to be fixed ?
The SELECTION of the Chief
Justice is RECCOMENDED by the PRIME MINISTER, not DECIDED by the
PM.who will then ADVISE the Predident to
confirm the APPOINTMENT. If the President is
going to be the one who confirm the nomination, and can thus reject
any fucked up candidates, or appoint just about anyone, he is the
one who select.
and unless the president is corrupt, how than will can we
explain your statement,
Do you think that in the present Singapore context, when MM LKY
- instead of the PM - will select a candidate to be the
Chief Justice and the Elected President will reject ?
Do you seriously think that in the Singapore context - the
Elected President will defer from the recommendations made by MM
LKY ?
Why do you insist that it is the President's role to select the
Chief Justice or the High Court Judges - when it has been stated -
more then once - that it is the Prime Minister who selects and
recommend to the President to appoint the Chief Justice ?
The constitution clearly state this functions between the
President and the PM:-
The
Judiciary comprises the Chief Justice, Judges of Appeal and other
Judges appointed by the President, acting on the advice of the
Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister consults the Chief Justice on the appointment
of any Judge other than himself.
"In a closed Political Society
such as Singapore, where the ONE Man politics is all pervasive in
every strata of Singapore Society, can any indpendent panel be
created to appoint a Chief Justice ?"
you believe the government to be co-spirators, and is out to get
you, what are you going to do about it?
The rules of the game is different for every country, learn the
rules, play the game, and win them by their own game. whining about
the rules is not going to get you anywhere, if you want to be
politically savvy.
Why should the government be out to get at me ?
If the rules of the game are loaded against the Citizens,
should the Citizens reject such rules ?
If the South Africans believed in your
political standards of acceptance of existing rules, learning
it, and play by those unfair rules - will the South Africans gained
their freedom from Aparthied that loaded the rules against the
Blacks ?
If the African-Americans had accepted the rules loaded against
them by the American Racists - will Barack Obama have made it
today, if the struggle did not begin with Martin Luther's declared
dream to change the status quo ?
If all the UK Colonies had accepted the rules of Colonial
Government, accepted it, and play by it - would the Crown Colonies
have gained independence ?
Would there have been a United States of America if the settlers
led by George Washington did not throw the King's Ruling Elites out
of the New World ?
It looks like you certainly have alot to go before you will
mature not to accept any status quo that is loaded against
yourself.
LKY learnt to out manourver those whom he lulled as
friends, introducing the most threatening personality as the
"Future Prime Minister of Singapore" - while seeking the help of
the Colonial Government to change the ground rules by having
his political competitor arrested.
If you do not change the ground rules to make a level field, can
you succeed ?
Are the efforts to change the rules and create a level playing
field an often heard refrain in our trade negotiations with bigger
countries ?
Changing the rules have always been a route to success - only
the methods differ based on the options available.
Are you savvy enough to appreciate the nuances of life ?
