Dear Windy,
Who is Atobe? 
Sorry, I am not Atobe. I am new to this forum, introduced by a
friend.
Although I have been foruming in the cyberspace for more than a
decade now, my main forum is soc.culture.singapore. Nickname
MADCOW.
I would be very much interested to know who has the same style as I
have. 
But if you have any issues or points to bring against mine, please
do so. You may find my posting pretty provoking, especially the use
of titles, but this is what it is meant to do; provoke your mind, a
mind teaser, to let most people to think out of the box. Not
everybody could do such thing....nope, I am not boasting or
anything like that, but it takes someone with original ideas (these
ideas might have been explored by others, but unknown to them, yet,
they are capable to come up with the same ideas on their own; this
is originality), perspective to come up with such thought provoking
ideas. And I think only a small percentage of people could escape
the intensive social engineering that PAP has setup via the mass
media and education system, to become an "independent thinker" of
his own right. Most people would probably "feel" that something is
not right, but not able to figure out what exactly is wrong with
the whole system. With some consolation, the percentage of those
who managed to escape the brain washing and social engineering is
getting bigger. That's how I find it, which I termed as
"enlightenment" out of the MATRIX.
As normal human being, we cannot profess to know everything under
the sun; I doubt LKY knows everything under the sun.
Political leaders are
not expected to be so, but only to make sound judgment and
decisions. It is silly to expect political parties to come up with
"researches", "studies" and such; it would be making a mockery of
those good fellows who many have spent almost their lifetime to do
research on any issues we are talking here. Please respect them.
You expect PAP to know exactly what New Water treatment is all
about in exact details to sell New Water to Singaporeans? No, I do
not expect them to be "experts" on ALL technical topics. They are
afterall, supposedly to be leaders that have specific role to make
good judgment based on the "COLLECTIVE" information provided by
many people of great expertise. Thus, I think your expectation of
"opposition" must be managed.
