Singapore must re-examine many of its past policies and
assumptions which caused many of our major problems e.g.
tax-and-recover system causing drop in our economic
competitiveness.
So can we still apply this kind of policies to managing today's
economy ? Which MPs and Ministers have been looking into these old
policies and addressing of the "20 major policy errors of the
government" posted since 2002 to FBU by many people.
Is PM Lee going to change the old policies or is he still making
the same old assumptions which have failed to work since the
1970s.
Results and performances are what Singaporeans want not more
promises or new-fangled solution like "robbing of rich to feed the
poor". Majority of citizens are poor or new poor so how to rob any
more. New solution not yet succeeded so far is for our ministers to
think out of the old past assumptions held very dear by our MM Lee
which did not work.
They have to come up with new policies to reverse double-charging
of people on land or triple-charing them on vehicles and a
long-overdue strategic economic restructuring master plan and
seriously go about upgrading the economy to value-adding
technology-driven model supported by adequate supports of
government of its own domestic businesses and its own citizens.
