Just remember this when the next General Election comes
around.
Make each vote count for the Opposition that is prepared to be
vocal, able to articulate our problems, and with a Party Manifesto
that is workable.
PRIVATISATION was a sham with two objectives :-
Firstly, it was suppose to give a semblance that there is an open
economy based on free market principle in which the Government has
no hand in dominating the services of the country.
This was done to b.s. the USA, as Singapore entered into a FTA with
the USA.
Secondly, it allowed the Government to sit back without being
blamed for any of the price increases that is demanded by the NEW
operators that provide all the essential services of Electricity
Generating, Electricity Supply, Water and Waste Treatment, Water
Distribution, Garbage Collection, Medical Insurance, Medical Care,
Hospital Services, Transportation Services - air, buses, mass rapid
transit, and taxis, Food Distribution, Communication Services -
telephony, internet, and airport services - and the list goes
on.
In one Master Stroke, a new layer or multiple layers are created
that divert the direct line of responsibility to the ultimate power
center, yet the money chain all leads back into one account.
The only word left to describe this masterly made scheme is "neat"
.
