QUOTEIt is important as u said, the interest of the local need
to
come first. Unfortunately this caused a lot of locals to
migrate
to other countries n MM Lee said that a lot of foreign
professionals used this country as a stepping stone to other
countries but he said that Spore still gained. Later in an
interview he said Spore is losing about 1000 locals to other
countries n this formed the top professional in our countries.
PM Lee is more afraid that 100 local went to other countries to
study n half of them never came back. How come there is so much
talk about the brain drain when leader said there is a
gain?UNQUOTE
This kind of double-talk on the part of the leaders sadly has
been going on for years without any honest or consistent in
policies or decisions. On the one hand the leaders talk about "the
need to attract talents" they actually keep driving away our
own talents without any care and call them quitters.
Wen they talk about meritocracy it is such a slogan for them to
use the few elites to control the population for political
domination.
When they talk about "no free lunch" or "no one will be left
behind" or "HDB flats will be affordable" and one can easily seen
there is a lot of bulls or craps in what they are talking.
While denying citizens of services for which they have paid the
heavy direct and indirect taxes, PM Lee in announcing GST increase
from 5% to 7% conveniently failed to disclose the huge off-budget
windfall land-sale HDB/SLA surpluses of $6.6 billions to squeeze
the people further to below their poverty line.
In fact Singapore could have done very well since the 1970s when
we the people have been contributing to such surpluses from our own
tax monies but the uncaring leaders are hoarding them for their own
purposes like the NKF.
It is people's own navety that we have been trusting this sort
of government without speaking up or listening to the truths for
years.
