10 smartest policy Old Gurads made

lionnoisy SG

What would Singapore look like if the Old Gurads had not adopted
the following ten policies?

When u have few options,how u pick the best policy is an arts.

When do u know this is the best?After u implement it!
But sometimes ,when u find it is bad,it is too late.

Help me to post more smartest policy here.

1.National Service
Around 1970,SG offically announced Israel sent instructors
to train SG first batch officer cadets.

This increased much cofidence to then citizens and
sent a strong signal to our neighbour.

Remember MY and Indonesia once held a joint ex.near SG
during SG National Day!!

2.Build HDB sell to people.

SG now do better her master of housing,HK.
SG learns public housing fr HK.

3.Adopt export oriented policy,instead of import substitute
SG ,in early 1970's,against the then anti--colonial thinking,invited
MNC invested in SG and created jobs.The problem of high
unemployment was solved,but followed by the happy problem of
insufficient man power!!

Even small enterprises were eagerly invited from overseas
to set up factories here to make,u name it,mee hon, mosquitp coil,
toys,etc.Thats was how your grand/parents survive,folks.
Ask them how they experienced the tough period.

4.Respect all races
can i repeat my posting here to save time.

4A. why our National Language is Malay?

Why The national anthem was originally written in Malay and
sang in Malay also.

MAJULAH SINGAPURA
Mari kita rakyat Singapura
Sama-sama menuju bahagia
Cita-cita kita yang mulia
Berjaya Singapura

Marilah kita bersatu
Dengan semangat yang baru
Semua kita berseru
Majulah Singapura
Majulah Singapura

4B.Why our President also rotating by different races?

4C.Why NDP parade commander rotate by different races every year?

The aim is to make minority in Spore feel
easy.Hey guys.You are important like every body.
Why English is the governemnt administrative language?
Because it is not the mother language of all races!!
no race has a priviledge in language.

4D.Have u noticed in school test books,government poster,
ST comics,there are always different races appear in the
same picture or images?
This is to remind every one --no race dominate in Singaopore.

SG will get big troubles if we treat people according to their skin.

5.Pick Changi as new airport
Against the advices from international consultants to improve
then International Airport in Paya Lebar,SG moved AP to Changi.

It can accommodate 4 runways from currently 2 runways.

6.MRT
Again,Against the advices from international consultants to use buses
as mass transport sys ,SG adpot MRT.

7.pl help to make it 10 or more

2. Build HDB and sell to the serfs for a hefty profit.

3. Any moron would know that you need to make more than you spend.

4. Why our PM always Lee, never change to Indian or Malay?

Hehehe........

rooki SG

7. Graduate Mothers Scheme
Women who are Uni grads make better mothers, they have higher intelligence and a richer, more conducive environment to bring up their kids. It's a shame this scheme was scrapped.

8. Streaming
Weak children will grow up to be weak people. We need to stop them from mixing with the elites as they will influence the elites with their weak-minded thoughts. A pity this was scrapped, too.

9. Foreign Talent Scheme
Darn! We did so much for Singaporeans, now they are kowpehing and complaining! And we may even lose our 66.6% mandate in election! Nevermind, let's bring in foreigners and give them citizenship! Sooner or later the foreign-born citizens' votes will outnumber those whiny Singaporeans'!

10. Raising GST to help the poor
Do you know who's the poorest in Singapore? That's right, our dear beloved ministers! They work so hard each day, shooting arrows and going for meet-the-people sessions, and yet they are paid only a million each! Grossly underpaid, especially according to the infallible benchmark of salaries of top earners! Hell, they should get MORE than the top earners COMBINED, it was THEY who made Singapore what it is today!

2. I think HDB was a good initiative

3. that is what any reasonable man would do Wink

4. Laughing U forgot Goh

maurizio13 SG

So is Goh malay or indian?

Laughing

eagle SG

Actually got more lah

11. Restricting Press Freedom
The press wasn't voted in, hence they do not have the right to criticize the government! Somehow Speaker's Corner here criticize the government so much although it wasn't voted in too.

12. Singaporeans Are not smart enough to think what is best for themselves
It is a freak election result if the opposition is voted in. No this not that. Cannot this cannot that. Singaporeans need to be taught how to save. Singaporeans need to be taught how to date. Singaporeans need to be taught to give birth to more children.

dragg SG

HDB brought them billions.

eagle SG

Good question... Laughing

But doesn't matter, he don't go anymore. He is went

maurizio13 SG

13. Use of media for party propaganda.

14. Let all my family members and relatives hold high positions in business and government.

15. Use ISA to imprision people with alternative views.

16. Sue the pants off all opposition parties.

17. Distribute money out to citizens just before elections to fool idiots into voting for them

eagle SG

I support the initial HDB scheme... because it made housing really cheap at that time of need... 'Owning' your house is way better than renting your house...

Another policy I was impressed was the changing of pri schools to morning and afternoon sessions from the original single sessions... Doubled the school's capacity overnight...

eagle SG

of those who oppose a lot only... Laughing

dragg SG

we dont own our houses until the loans are fully paid.

and when will that be? 20 to 30 years later at a high interest.

eagle SG

true... but at least the possibility of being forced out by the landlord is very much reduced as compared to places like Hong Kong... where many people rent their houses...

mistyblue SG

A. Built ERP to "control" traffic and collect toll

B. Double tax the people

C. creating and changing GRC borders

D. Make opposition look incompetent and reduce opposition but not eliminating them to look like a democracy

E. Privatize public service into large private monopolies run by their own people

eagle SG

F. Reduce employer's CPF contribution down from 20% and don't increase it back again when the economy was booming.

mistyblue SG

F. Wrong, we do not own HDB. WE pay large rentals that after XX years, it is returned.

G. Make schools churn out large number of people to only become workers and not leaders.

H. Come out with the elite scheme which highlights the "haves" and "have nots"

eagle SG

for F and G, that is an alternative viewpoint to put down the govt. But the truth is, HDB did solved a lot of housing problems at that point of time... (Not talking about now...)

What's wrong with educating more people? Let's not talk about the brainwashing done in school. Education is vital to any economy in the world; it is an undeniable fact. It is too strong a claim to say that schools churn out people not to become leaders. Being a leader does not mean being in the government. You can be one in your own field, in a company, or in a community group.

For H, how true... Sad This I never support...

googoomuck SG

HDB flats are state owned, people who pay and live in them are lessees, not owners.

It was Ong Teng Cheong who pushed for the development of MRT despite facing opposition from his shorted sighted Cabinet colleagues, who all proposed the cheaper mode of transportation, the bus system.

Gazelle SG

Cool Ban chewing gum and fine for littering (which make singapore the cleanest city in the world)

9) The concept of Garden City (which make urban life more comfortable)

10) Capital punishment for kidnapping and murder (which make Singapore safe)

googoomuck SG

Policy 101: HoChing as CEO of Temasek Holding and putting elites who are not financial gurus in charge of GLCs. They all have the courage to cut losses from soured business deals.

More time needed to think of the other 100 or so best policies.
