Singapore In Ruins

Click to see the scale of the devastation

Maybe he can also foretell the future, judging from his accurate depiction of an overgrown city, its infrastructure pushed to the breaking point by ill conceived population growth policies and the mad pursuit of economic wealth at the sacrifice of social well-being. Just read the headlines.

    Singapore can only be changed one voter at a time.
    60% of your friends and relatives voted for the Pro Alien Party.

    Will you stand up for Singapore?
    Will you make it your personal mission to convert just ONE of your friends or relative into an Opposition voter in GE 2016 .... please?

    If we can all do this.
    40% will become 80%.

      Yes, only from far. One can easily control the perceived view by painting attractive colours that camouflaged imperfections.

      But if you look closely and scrutinise the details, you will uncover not only imperfections but also defects that have been cleverly disguised.

      How many have been blinded by the nice attractive colours painted, ignoring details that make a picture tells a thousand words?

    Singapore was in ruins many years ago, when the floodgates were opened, and when they continued pushing the boundaries of what they could control and repress in the country('they' being an abominable entity which we need not name explicitly anymore because there needs no ghost come from the grave to tell us this anymore) bit by bit. Singaporeans have to want that change and take back the reins of the country for themselves, and if they will not, then they will even lose that basic right to decide to take back that right.

    A well known mathematician once remarked the saddest thing is that neither politicians nor economists understand the power of compounding. If everything "grows" even at 3% a year fro 100 years, mother earth is going to be bigger than the Sun.

    For this red dot, its surely a timely reminder. But when you have a bunch of ex-"elite" Oxbridge PPE graduates from the 1970s and 1980s running a country, essentially what you are going to get is Britain of the 1980s right? Let me tell you how it works in the civil service nowadays: they read the FT and The Economist, and plagiarize selectively what those 2 "newspapers" preach for the government's cabinet and policy papers. The whole gang, from 28 year old admin service directors who pushes the pen (or iMac buttons or iPad screen), to the most feared Perm Secs nowadays are readers and followers of "Keynesian" economics, growth, financial repressions, globalisation etc. No wonder we have Thatcherism and keynesian economics ruling over us, and also Orwellian speak too for propaganda.

    These civil servants don't care.
    Because it is not their money that will be spent.
    When the policies are implemented.

    They are like the eunuchs at the emperor's court.
    When the emperor likes what is being said.
    They get promoted.
