We have as a people over the past 42 years been led by the nose
with one-sided government policies and actions based on so-called
pragmatism or leadership which covered up all the problems suffered
in silence.
The elected MPs and ministers in theory are supposed to represent
peoples views and aspirations and work towards them. In reality,
they are too highly controlled by million-dollar rewards and
concerned with their own benefits and career advancement to
sacrifice for the people.
People are therefore not being served in such a materialistic
capitalist system which in name like meritocracy or leadership
sounds very good but in reality people are continuously being
short-changed.
Therefore we need to develop a culture of questioning one-sided
policies, views and information presented by whoever is running the
government starting with questioning malpractices in NKF, Shin
Corp, and lately refusal of police to grant anniversary celebration
permit to WP while its own Ypap is allowed to do so.
The first criterion of a good and successful government is the
quality of the people.
To all forumers, I urge them to speak fearlessly on what is wrong
and uphold what is right.
It is therefore critical to develop such an active discussions of
peoples views and aspirations as a culture among online citizens
otherwise they will lose their CPF retirements to some hogwashed
policy which only served to excuse governing leaders of their own
CPF fiasco.
People should no longer tolerate being taken for granted by its own
overpaid non-elected walk-over leaders who are still trying to
impose their own the conceptual top-down self-serving agendas like
happening in NKF on the people.
People should get the government to change such a narrow-minded
governing system to one which is for the greatest benefit of the
greatest number which is far from happening even with all the
so-called help schemes being talked about.
I would urge all forumers not to lose the above-stated perspective
while disagreeing among themselves on minor issues in order to keep
up questioning of wrongful policies and actions as a culture.
