Xprobe SG bow down to and accept your destiny OR, take a stand and leave for somewhere you can soar to the sky!
jaimeyeo SG well, most of us are not that close to the elite to "work for the elite". sounds more like "pay to the elite"
jaimeyeo SG in any society, the stronger should always help the weaker. but it seems like the stronger are taking advantages of the weak. esp profiteering from them. rampant.
macjoe SG All the talk about inclusive (to appease the non-elite really), will it make the playing field level for elite and non-elite or it's just talk with some walk for show? We have to see first: 1. The elite overtaking the non-elite in donations/volunteering to charities. 2. The elite and non-elite are given equal chances in getting their children into good schools. How to do that? Let's have a measuring elitism index ratio. May I suggest we measure by how much they (elite and non-elite) earn, seek/spend, get (take away from society) vs how much they donate to charities (give back to society). Dollars and cents don't lie about elitism and the elites. Humans do. [/b]
vito_corleone SG neithr are many people but they're doing pretty well. sim wong hoo wasn't an elite, he didnt come from whatever top school and wasn't born with a silverspoon but he's now the richest post-independence singapore-born man. so quit complaining and go do something about it because if you don't, frankly, nobody gives a sh|t.
robertteh SG Do a count or national survey. Most jobs and businesses in Singapore are created by non-elites. The elites mostly are employees and not creating jobs but are fond of claiming success or credits for success because of non-elites. They are made to look important because of paper qualification. In a recession, elites would be keeping low-profile and looking for jobs. Singaporeans depend on non-elites who are ordinary people with ideas and good in creating jobs and wellbeings for citizens. Entrepreneurs are what Singaporeans need for survival not more elitism.
