And I quote from my earlier posts....Originally posted by snow leopard:Finally.
After all that, you finally get it.
you must be joking ... seems to me it is you who has finally gotten around to what i've been saying.
Edit: I was going to go into another long hoo ha until I saw your last sentence. As long as you understand that it is nothing but a 'symptom', we can talk until the cows come home and still have achieved nothing.
you're most welcome to try but please dun make this symptom thing sound like some big revelation, it's no big deal really.
ordinary citizens like us can't move or shape things in a big way but the least we could do is to make a stand. if we were to all adopt a wildebeest attitude of letting things be, we will forever be taken for granted. if we won't lend our voices to good, simple, truths, the least we could do is not impede others from doing so.
Silly boy. learn to read the entire thread before you start making senseless postings.
as it stands, there isn't anything much that you can do about it now is there? whether they're paid $1 or $1,000,000 becomes absolutely irrelevant when so much power is seated on a single party.
seriously the nerve of some people. reversing your position is one thing, but to try to pass off an idea as your own is totally low. -
What would you rather have?
High salary, good performance, good leadership politicians?
Or very corrupt politicians (like Phillippines' Marcos) who are filthy rich while the people are generally poor? -
And I quote from my earlier posts....
and so i quote:

"silly" is more apt for you, really. do understand what someone else is saying before making senseless accusations.

you have the nerve to claim reversal? there's a chinese saying "the evil man strikes first". how then do you reconcile your ideas about:
seriously the nerve of some people. reversing your position is one thing, but to try to pass off an idea as your own is totally low.
"they're doing their job" with "one might question if there is more to be done about the current unemployment rate? Or why is there a general lack of interest amongst them in opening Buangkok station? Or is there more that can be done to accelerate our economie's recovery?"
and:
"i'm still living a relatively ok/good life." with "if there is more to be done ... issues that affects our quality of life ..."?
at least there is consistency in what i'm saying. there is perveived wrong. someone brings it up. we discuss it. nothing can be done at least we've made our stand. -
pass off an idea as your own is totally low.
and please lah, do me a favour, recognise that "your" idea, is a commonly known fact. everybody knows it, no one can do anything about it except talk about it ...
i just can't believe there are people who have the cheek to pass off some simple, common knowledge as "great wisdom" ... -
Talking rubbish.Originally posted by Salman:Because we are not dummies and we are not naive. We are human and we are pragmatic & practical.
Tell me which country that pays their ministers peanuts are not corrupt? You think USA not corrupt? Why are US businesses forced to contribute to political parties?
You people want good govt but you want to pay peanuts. Don't be penny wise and pound foolish man. What a couple millions to Singapore. I say they deserve every cent they get for doing such a great job.
Peanut equal to 600K not enough meh......Tax free some more. Or are they going to bring money with them when time to go to hell. Or more jaguar, BMW, Mercedes, porsche for their sons or daughters. -
How much you understand about Finland, Hong Kong, England? Don't talk rubbish here leh.... If you are so good you may have no time over this sgforums already.Originally posted by Salman: -
I suggest you to take over Hong Kong Government. You lead to remove the mountains in Hong Kong and i will join you.Originally posted by Salman:I think its all a matter of management. Moutains can be dug and used to reclaim land. The mountans of HK are not very tall anyway.
Note that the taxes are low in HK. A major revenue of HK govt comes from land sales. They own all the land and release them a little bit at a time to Li Kashing to maintain land price. -
Actually mountains are the Fengshui in HK (Hopes not to sound like Fugue)
Singapore broke theirs when they let Academics Run the Nicoll Highway Collapse.

Like Durian, Bush earns only peanuts and look how corrupted USA is!
An example:
USA is so corrupted that the gov took away jobs from all the senior citizens. Poor US ah peks and ah mas, they can only laze around the park, watching the flowers bloom during spring, the trees bearing fruits in summer, trees shedding their yellow leaves in autumn and their grand children playing snow fights in winter. How super boring and brainless activities!
US should learn from our MAGNIFICENT GREAT LEADERS by creating jobs for their citizens to work as cleaners, landscape artist (I LOVE THIS WORD!), etc, making them more productive! -
well cindy, took me a while to understand your satires ... pretty good ... had a look at your migration posts ... so sad ...Originally posted by Cindyfeh:Couldn't agree with you more!

Now my reasons for migration has changed. I am ashame of calling myself a singaporean because I am not a typical hardworking one who wants to work as a cleaner at 70 years old.Originally posted by snow leopard:well cindy, took me a while to understand your satires ... pretty good ... had a look at your migration posts ... so sad ...
I am too lazy. I prefer to laze around. Therefore, I decided to "quit" myself to other countries and let the more deserving ones and foreign talents to take my place as a proud singaporean.
