It is because if the book is banned, people are able to get it from other sources. The content also showed about Suzhou Industrial park.

The book's a good read. But I must say that it is but one viewpoint.

True, but most of us do agree with the author.

Infant mortality rate
(deaths/1,000 live births)

sorry to say.

SINGAPORE IS THE BEST PLACE TO GIVE BIRTH.

Australia 4.51 2008 est.

Singapore 2.30 2008 est.

Please share with us, how much stress the newborns would have to bear in time to come.

Competition is everywhere. But Extreme competition in the most densed s.e asian country is another psychological barrier. Consider the Quality of Life. Consider the workload on the child. Consider happy childhood is important. Consider the cost involved to keep your child ahead of the pack where eventually, a basic degree of even a masters is oversupplying the market. Consider the competition from FTs , PRs, and anyone from anywhere in the world, all congregating here, in an already densest country in S.E asia (could be the whole of asia or the world, I not sure yet). Consider the packed malls and shopping centers. Consider the chaos in PC world and expo's. Consider the rat race, the relentless competition and the oversupply of people who can easily replace you. Consider that you are encouraged to work till you die and in fact, you most probably have to.

Here like no where else in asia, the competition will be the most intense and the place will be the densest.

Artificial and modern facilities, buildings and amenities can be purchased even by china and vietnam or thailand. Any country willing to spend can purchase artificial stuff. Its not really difficult. But that is not the most important. The most important measure of success is :

Quality of Life - your weekends in the densest, warm and humid crowded place in s.e asia , some say asia and the world. rest and relag under constant competition. Sure.

WE DONT EVEN NEED TEETH TO CRUSH PPL FROM OZ.. BITE THAT

Atobe SG

What is the point to agrue with this guy?

SG economy can feed some 3.3 m citizens,0.5m SPR and some

1 million Foreigners working,studying etc,including some Oz too, here.

"SG economy can feed some 3.3m citizens....." - a statement made as if the people are fed by a system without a single cent paid and no sweat or blood shed ?

We have some $$$ in GIC etc,

Are the "$$$ in GIC" decidedly belonging to the 3.3m Singaporeans ?

Or in truth, are the "$$$ in GIC" - MM LKY's ''baby" - which he so jealously guard, even going to such lengths that will result in his own plan to be aborted - when his intention of an Elected President resulted in the Elected President demanding to know what is to be guarded ?

a lot lands,water,talents from all over the world,

now even can have Casinos here.

Are all these put to use for the benefit of Singaporeans ?

Or are these to used in boosting the treasury that benefit the GIC and Temasek in the hands of the First Family ?

It is amazing that these are not transferred to a Lee Foundation - different from that of the charitable Lee Kong Chian Foundation.

what else we cant do?

Can the life of the Elite be prolonged into perpetuity ?

Surely one is desparately needed now ?.

Pl compare today Strait Times25.06.2008 images at p H5.

i think red is vegetation cover.

The RED is the blood shed by Singaporeans to build this island - in the same manner of the blood shed by those building the Great Wall of China that can be seen from Space without even the help of any satellite.

Were there more tears shed for Confucius' passing, or that of any Emperor ?
