You have learnt well from your Mentor, who can so easily intolerant
and aggravated that he will turn vicious towards those who dare to
stand up to challenge him.
Unfortunately, your views are nothing new, as the same expression
of many who have said the same in the business world - and perhaps
you maybe nothing more then a plagiarist - modifying the same that
was written with such an articulate style and released to the media
by the SDP.
[b]Ho Ching must step down as head of Temasek.
Where is the originality or honesty of thought from you ?
If you had quoted the piece - in your usual cut and paste manner -
followed with your own commentary, perhaps you are entitled to some
of the acolade that came out of sheer surprise to your supposed
change.
Seriously, what has the Singapore Government aka the Ruling Party
done for Singaporeans and Singapore that is worthy of respect
?
Singapore is what it is today - NOT the result of the efforts of
the Government nor the Ruling Party - but the sacrifices and
tolerance of the Singapore Citizens - who placed their trust in LKY
and his Team.
Unfortunately, after 47 years of continuous monopolistic rule,
power has got into the heads of LKY and his current appointees -
after removing his original Team from his side.
Singapore's future remains more precarious today then before
independence.
Externally, after so many years in ASEAN, what has this Government
done to secure our future with our neighbors within ASEAN ?
We have a hopeless relationship with our natural economic
hinterland in Malaysia; briliantly insulted the Philippines; turned
a warm relationship with Suharto's Indonesia into present day
tension by harboring ill gotten gains of the Rich and Wealthy
Indonesian and refusing an extradition treaty; messed up our
relations with Thailand through sheer ambitios economic
imperialism; even our warm relationship with Myanmar has become an
embarrassing liability after the Military Junta refused to listen
to further advise from a fellow hardline Government.
Even Modern China has turned skeptical to the supposed altruistic
help extended by the Singapore Government, and looked at
Temasek's attempt - to buy a stake in the Bank of China - as
nothing more then Economic Imperialism.
Internally, how certain are you that this Singapore Government aka
the Ruling Party will continue to back your boastful claims that
Singaporeans are fortunate that we do not have to be like the
Filipinas working as maid overseas, or our menfolk having to work
overseas to make a living to support our families at home ?
At present, the Government has succumbed to forces of globalisation
without any defensive effort to protect Singaporeans, but have
instead opened the floodgates to allow more foreigners into
Singapore claiming that they will create more jobs for
Singaporeans.
In the present open policy towards foreign talents, for every
foreign expatriate that is employed, this person employed in this
position will almost automatically bring other cronies along into
Singapore.
Many Singaporeans - who have been displaced in the last economic
downturn in 2002 - and who are in their 40s and 50s - remain
unemployed; and despite their most ardent effort many in these age
groups are jobless not by choice but by the present changed
circumstances.
Most of these white-collared Singaporeans - and some blue collared
ones too - have used their retrenchment benefits with new start-ups
in small enterprises, with most of them entering the Food and
Beverage field.
After 45 over years of continuous monopolistic rule, Singaporeans
are continuously milked off their savings through a slew of
financial charges executed by different Government Agencies and
Government Linked Companies.
Wealth flow from the Citizen's bank account to the State Treasury
by way of taxes that are artificially created to take Private
Wealth at every step and every turn of economic consumption and
economic activity.
The wealth of the nation has been transferred from the individual
Citizens into the State Treasury.
While the State Treasury continue to grow, the Singapore Citizens
savings continue to shrink, to the extent that the Singapore
Citizen cannot even look after themselves in their old age.
Despite the wealth that the State has extracted from Singaporeans,
what has the State planned for Singaporean that will not further
extract further sums of remaining monies from the Private Citizens
?
Under the guise of no welfare - but called Workfare - the Citizens
have to pay in order to get some back from Workfare.
Medical and Health Care require the Citizens to contribute to
Medisave and Medishield. Unfortunately, the money transferred into
these funds are benifit the Authorities through investments that
generate revenue; while the Citizens who are Account Holders have
limited use from these Funds that are not allowed to pay for the
total medical bill.
With all the wealth robbed from the Citizens, the Government will
not contribute to help the Aged, but will demand that the Citizens
continue to look after their own Aged.
Education remains the Citizens' responsibility, when Polytechnic
Diploma are not accepted by our own local Universities, while the
same Diploma will gain entries in foreign universities that will
even grant exemptions and shorten term.
If you are brave enough to plagiarise this piece from the SDP -
that was already published since OCTOBER 2006, why are you not
brave enough to see the reality of Singapore as it is ?

Bravo!!!
Insightful!!!
Remember, dogs don't think too much, the tricks that they perform
