History ...will it repeat?

Well, after years of history..... we see things repeating itself. It is like a cycle. Countries goes to war... peace ..war..peace.. etc. Singapore is reaching a stage where the new generation is begining. New leaders have been estalished but how long can it last? I am sure a lot of people have been asking...

Singapore have slowly been dominated by a single Power house ... the People's Action Party aka PAP. They have done an excellent job with a few controversial actions but nothing "inhumane" (well I place them under " " because it is really very relative). We promote a place to be JUST and "corruption-free" but how much is that below the surface? Is there really such a thing? Well, I believe Singapoe has done it to a certain extend to be considered? But all this is running a country like a business, where strict rules stand with punishment/s haste.

I do not believe a country should be run like a BUSINESS, but it works. Our finances are very healthy. Singapore is a small island and with only 1 resource, the Super kiasu (means scared of loosing mentality) Singaporean. Why kia-su? If you see how things are done in Singapore you would understand. A bonus in some areas will lead to an increase in other areas... e.g. lower income tax..... increase in utility charges. There is never a case of a real bonus. Very mechanical and very business like and it just gives you the CANNOT LOOSE feel of what is happening around us. The Ministers are paid highly, compared to other countries. I believe our Prime Minister's Pay is said to be much higher then the U.S president. But of-course that is the surface, the U.S president get more in other extend. They say this high pay will and IS maintaining Singapore "corruption-free". But if the pay is so high to the extend that it becomes "daylight corruption" then what is it to be said???


A lot of people have crticised our country of being "daylight corruption" but looking at the recent financial reports of the various countries, you just have to give it to Singapore. We have manage to stay +VE for many donkey years. This just give relief to the citizens.. or does it not??? I am not Magum PI or analysis, I am just a working class norm Singaporean. Where we "accept" the pushed down lower wages (do you know Singapore Professionals be it IT, Eng, Banking are one of the lowest paid ones?) to let MNC continue to support us here. Can we do without these MNCs? Well we do not have a lot of entrepreneurs in Singapore. That is why LATELY the government have been pushing this "idea" into us. It IS a good thing but the system do not make it favourable to us. MNCs have it easy with their BACKUPs but we have to fight with these MONSTER for a piece of the pie. Bottomline is, how do we fight when we are the ones that hve been hdicapped by the system?

The system is too rich. too selfish.. too narrow... too tight ....too unforgiving.

So I hope .... HOPE... this word should be banned. *laughs*. That things get better. Those Singaporean that left Singapore to other countires are NAMED quitters, well to me they are quitters to be a slave of the countries. Reverting what J.F Kenndy... This time it is "We have done so much for the country .. just by accepting all the rules and restictions and ...etc...now what can the country do for us?"....*lol*


The New generation brings hope....as the minority "action" parties diminish. It is the ineveitable that PAP will hold (actually already) FULL control. Like what history have shown us... Once the party gets big, it will soon crack and this will lead to a real new generation of political actions within PAP. Upon this happening there will no longer be different political parties but more of what should we work towards to. Let's see if History repeats...
