Speaker's corner, Singapore's pinnacle of public "Free Speech". Where a speaker needs to register with the police before speaking.

And when a passer by tries to come in and listen to a permitted speaker, he gets stopped by the police, saying "It will be an illegal assembly if you go in to listen"

Yup, Singapore's pinnacle of public free speech.

MNC invested in SG and created jobs.The problem of high

insufficient man power!!

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

The Malay language only serve to identify Singapore as part of a Malay Region, and not to stand out like a sore thumb as a Chinese Majority Nation; and it also serves to assuage the fears of a minority race which has the political morale support of the wider neighborhood.

Unfortunately, the leadership's attitude towards the Malay minority is only as good as the words and attitudes towards this minority - the participation of this group in highly sensitive Security Institutions remain restricted; foreign talent policies are colored to maintain the balance in racial-ethnic numbers; tax incentives and public policies are geared to discourage the poor from producing more than they can afford - the majority of whom are Malays and ...

[quote]4B.Why our President also rotating by different races?
Yes, M13 asked a very relevant question - why is the Prime Miinister's post never rotated to the other minority races in the 50 years of Singapore's political history that began in 1957 ?

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.

It is the best opportunity to deciminate the weak minded from moving on to higher appointments in the SAF.

If the mind of a Senior Commander cannot manage the complex levels of the voice commands of a simple military parade - with more then a million eyes and camera lenses focused, it will reveal the quality of the Senior Commander to cope with any stressed situation.

The weak is filtered, and the strong mind will survive.

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.

Do you seriously believe in propaganda made for the simple mind ?

Yes, we are constantly reminded that other different races exist - are you sure that no one race will dominate in Singapore ?

The minorities are assured of their existence that their culture, traditions, and mother tongue will not fade away; can their image stand-up to the dominance of the culture and influence of the majority ethnic community - even in subtle ways ? See above concerning Government policies of employing others into sensitive departments.

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.

Where did you get your propaganda information from to further paint an artificial image ?

Did you not read my post in A Blast from the Past' - in which Singapore Architect Tay Kheng Soon recounted the ridiculous position of the PWD in insisting on keeping the Singapore Airport at Paya Lebar Airport ?

If not for Tay Kheng Soon's blog the Singapore Airport saga would never have seen the light of day; and ''noisy propagandist'' will have a field day to brain-wash an ill informed public.

extract from ''A Blast from the Past'' :

Paya Lebar was the civil airport at that time, Paya Lebar International Airport. So they wanted to enlarge the airport, to increase the capacity with another runway on this side and another runway on the other side. We had a drawing that showed the runways. Some of our engineers had experience with acoustic planning. We drew the acoustic diagram showing the flight path coming in, the noise level contours. It meant that the entire Mountbatten Road and - from Kallang Basin right up to Changi Road - that whole section and then on the north Hougang to Tampines, this whole strip would be sterilised. Impossible to live there, because of aircraft noise, plus the danger zone, the crash zone and so on. Because airport planning needs to have all these safety provisions. That will immediately make it unliveable for 1 million people. And PWD were planning it that way!

So when we saw this, we said this is no way we can accept this. So why not move the whole thing to Changi where the aircrafts will be coming in and taking off over the sea and not over populated areas. Man, they got so mad with us, you know, when we proposed this, because we were interfering you see, in their thinking. And this particular person in PWD subsequently left.

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

Have you got your information skewed ?

The government was confused and had no clear idea as to what is the best for the future for Singapore, when already the Subway Systems have existed in every major cities across the globe since the 1950 and earlier - (the London Tube served as a bomb shelter during WW2).

The Singapore Government employed three different Consultant Groups and spent more then S$21 Million Dollars on consultation fees and received three conflicting reports - 1. all bus system to be improved; 2. all MRT system to be given priority; 3. a mix of MRT-public bus system to complement and support each system.

Even after these reports were received, the late President and Architect Ong Teng Cheong was tasked to make a final report after making a world tour to every major cities to study their subway system.

7.pl help to make it 10 or more[/b]

Do you still need a list of more bungling decisions of this over glorified Government ?

8. How about the lost generations who could not advance into tertiary education as they were ''murdered'' by the insistent grade for Chinese Language before entry into local Universities ?

9. What about the lost generation that did not qualify for the Suitability Certificate to enter University due to their family background of doubtful political leanings ?

10. Will you accept the bungled Family Planning - 'Stop at TWO' Birth Control Policy that did not consider the geometric decline of population growth in less than two generation ?

Need any more to overshoot the tenth mark ?

11. Yes, LKY did publicly expressed his regret for introducing the Women's Charter - to protect Women's Rights; which in the process removed the environment in which men with financial and physical abilities are allowed to have more then one wife.

This has resulted in the large number of unmarried and intelligent Singaporean women, who would otherwise fulfilled LKY's scheme of the intelligent and abled producing more off-spring - instead of allowing those less capable and from the lower end of the communities to over-produce themselves.

That's pure lionnoisy overkill man...

HK flat quite small compared to Spore HDB flat. Some HK people still think highly of the Spore HDB flat. As for the NS policy, they still need some

changes. Very Happy

walesa SG

Ever heard of the stuff where people say liars need to conjure up more lies to cover their tracks?

Well, it's indeed admirable that I've been introduced to a nowhere-else-to-be-found definition of 99-year leases being known as "ownerships".

Lie, lie and lie somemore... Laughing

1.Look at your maids where do they come from?
They come from countries where they dunt bother
to family planning from 60's till now!!

Where their doctors want to be retrained to be nurses
and work and migrate to US??

Man,there is no perfect policy.Stop at 2 policy is unpleasant.
But if u dunt adopt this policy,it will be more painful now.
from doctor

retrained to nurse!!

Atobe SG

It is already painful now with the 'Stop at 2 Policy' of the 1960s, as we are now asked to catch up with the loss years of not making more babies.

Now that Singaporeans are unable to catch up with making more babies, the Singapore Government has opened the flood gates to allow more foreigners - (that they claimed are Foreign Talents) - to come into Singapore to compete with us.

Are you doubting the Singapore Government claim of having super talent that even exceed the abilities of those countries where the maids come from ?

Surely, all your trumpet blowing has come to waste ?

Did you forget that LKY had lectured the Philippines and Indonesia what is wrong with their system ?

Do you think that the policies of this Government cannot cope with a population that can produce 6.2 MILLION and MORE ?

What have you been so noisy about ?

bigmouthjoe SG

Hello Lion-noisy, you might as well bring up what good the British Colonial has done for us...

From what I see, LHL's generation seems to be seriously lacking.

lionnoisy SG

The stop at 2 policy WAS right when there were high unemployment ,
lack of housing,schools,hospitals etc.

Ask your grand/parents how they see their human waste fall
in the public toilet and inside full of shiiittt bugs!!

How can sg improve quality of lifes when she cant cope with
too many population.

Dunt look back and say ''U are wrong to adpot this or that policy''

Again,do u know the then poor situation?

2.Have u ezperienced the pre --fax era?

No PDA ,computers,MP3,color TV etc.

Atobe SG

Do you seriously believe in your own speculation that it matters to our grand-fathers and fathers - if there were no TV - (color or B/W), MP3, computers, PDA, or even mobile phones ?

Do you have any clue as to how the generations before us can cope with 10 kids or more and some even had 2 wives to help in making a big family ?

Every hard working individual who migrated here, and who had an iota of entrepreneurial imagination and daring had made it good - largely due to the latitude of political and economic space that prevailed under Colonial Rule.

Tan Lark Sye saw the opportunities in rubber while being a laborer and worked to establish his own company. Not forgetting the other personality named Tan Kah Kee, and some other famed Chinese family names from the Chan's, the Lee's, and the See's - all having made their mark as the Straits Chinese.

As much as the Tan's featured prominently in the Chinese migrant community, the Indian migrants also have their famous sons in the likes of Naraina Pillai, and another famous personality in P. Govindasamy - both of whom seized the opportunities that came their way and grew with the open economy promoted by the Colonial Government.

There were also the famed Arab personalities that settled in Singapore and provided us with their names to famous present day landmarks - Aljunied, Alkaff, and Alsagoff.

All had large families and life was as rewarding as it was challenging - even when they live under Colonial Rule - with no financial or special support to local traders, nor will they compete directly with the local traders.

Jobs were bountiful as Singapore thrived during the days from Stamford Raffles till the outbreak of WW2 - the economic progress being due to the latitude of space made available by the hands-off approach of the Colonial Government.

After WW2, it provided new impetus to get rich as opportunities abound in the many reconstruction works that had to be carried out by the Colonial Government.

Can the same be said of Singapore since self-government under ambitious politicians with their own personal agenda to take over the seat of Power ?

Every ridiculous reasons were given for the ''Family Planning-Stop at 2'' program similar to the impetuous reasons given in support of NKF - despite the voices of caution and restrain in matters that bore long term consequences.

The early voices of caution were dismissed and the Family Planning Program was implemented with religious fervor, and continued into the late 1970s.

It was only around the mid-1980S that it dawned on the self-proclaimed talented elites that NSF recruitments for the SAF was experiencing a critical progressive decline in available MAN-power.

Were the job situation in the mid-1980S any better then in Colonial Times, with the Singapore economy hurtling towards the 1987 economic downturn ?

During the mid-1980S, the Private Business Community were reeling with the purposeful drive by the Singapore Talented Elite to increase workers' wages, and the Business Community had called on the Self-acclaimed Elites to make a U-Turn to their misguided wage policies.

The famous ''NO U-Turn mentality'' of the Talented Elite was the subject of some intellectual discourse by none other than Sim Wong Hoo.

Even LKY had admitted that on hindsight perhaps the alternative voices could have been given some latitude in space in the scheme of things during the 1960s - but then, everyone was groping around without experience; and someone had to make a decision to move, even if it is a wrong decision.

Now we are saddled with a declining population as was accurately predicted by the alternative voices of caution during the 1960s - cautionary voices that objected to the all encompassing and indiscriminate implementation of the Family Planning Program.

By the end of 2008, when the National Library will complete the digital archive of the Straits Times prints that date back to its early founding date, a whole wealth of information will be available.

10. They increase GST to help the poor, becos only the poor scold and condemn and screw them everyday.

Most locals look abroad as alternative, to lower their cost of runnnig their livings, like the way they run their businesses. But locals also do not give up their passports to stay in singapore as alternative.
