In order the maintain one-party rule, there will be talks on
dangers of disorders, chaos, corruptions and nepotism etc etc to
frighten the population into keeping the status quo.
I am sure if the political system is suitably liberalised to allow
people to nominate proven individuals of abilities from various
associations and societies or citizens organisations, we can easily
nominate 10-20 people with abilities to solve the following
persistent problems affecting the government:-
(1) Lower the market-valued fees and charges by costing on
consumption items excluding land costs and infrastructure costs
paid under taxations.
(2) Revamp the excessive manpower structure and hyper-salary
structure e.g. ministers of state/senior and parliamentary
secretaries, town council/mayors, senior/senior-principals,
chief/deputies/Senior Principal (convert to simple short-rein
strycture: GM/Senior/manager/executive) to follow private sector
practice.
(3) Deregulate the whole of laws and regulations to bring back good
corporate governance e.g. adopting the light-government and
free-market governance pro-people and pro-entrepreneurship
system.
I am sure Singapore has the talents but its citizens are being
prevented to come forward to serve due to past controls and
legalistic depolitization and machinations which is
anti-progress.
If we don't open up how do we know we do not have such talents to
serve the country. Let people nominate and submit the names to an
independent board of election and we will see many talents before
2010.
Now all the so-called talents and scholars are only limited to a
small group of elites who do not need to serve or try because they
are already occupying good positions to care.
