US is a realist. Is there oil in Singapore?
Are US MNC complaining about bad treatment or issues?
Why should anyone care about Singapore and its system when its
benefiting all the rich people out there. Our case is not an
outright, visible case of exploitation like the child labours, or
the third world labours. In addition, there are so much smoke and
media block, so little crediable information and zero
transparency.
Take NKF. For many years, NKF operated in the manner - cheap and
con people. When the plumber came forward about the gold tap (he
had to publish a public apology - was he compensated now - should
he now engage a lawer to sue TT for slander like LKY?). How many
believed it and how many dismiss him? When people bring up
suspecious points about NKF - such as qualification for dialysis,
cost of dialysis with NKF being more expensive, etc... How many
people got blasted down. How many people just want to go on
believing that perhaps one day NKF will correct its accounts or NKF
is always doing the right thing - even if its misusing funds, its
still doing good things for the rich people who can afford their
dialysis.
I am therefore not optimistic. I am sure we will keep hearing about
strong mandate till I (my great great great (x1000) grand children)
die and never see my CPF, nor ever hear about the funds that LHL
keep collect ever be used for any terrible future event that
happens to Singapore.
