We live in an oxymoronic place call SG. Most of the time the
political parties respond in a manner that
is contradictory to what they want to believe in.
eg. Suing an Overseas Magazine for Defamation based
the pharse "There is no freedom of speech in Singapore." published
in one of their monthly issues
eg. Explaining that the rising cost of living is a
GLOBAL issue and they are trying to do everything they
can to help the people of Singapore. On the other hand
they privatize the Power stations and sell them
to foreign company's thus losing control of rising
utilities cost. They then say that Singaporeans got to learn to be
independant.
eg. Support the Green Movement by encouraging the use of CNG for
Taxis and approving the building of 13 CNG gas stations around
Singapore. And then they approve and sanitized the mandatory use of
the EURO IV engine for all taxis running on Diesel. Subsequently,
the CNG project was left hanging because of "lack of support" from
the official entity. As Singapore gets most of it's CNG supply
from Indonesia, there is no official agreement between the bodies
that CNG are to be in constant supply to
Singapore. Unlike the water source from Malaysia, there
is no fixed dateline as to when the supply will stop. Thus the
commercial entities refused to proceed with the CNG project without
this commitment from the relevant bodies.
