...The PAP reminds me of a quote by Upton Sinclair.<br /><br />“It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” <br /><br />None of the PAP members will dare to speak the truth to power as they know that their cushy lifestyle is beholden to them pleasing the boss. As long as this mentality holds, the party will continue on its own path of decline.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8772491888812684500.post-91127363056327555642011-11-27T02:39:58.959+08:002011-11-27T02:39:58.959+08:00This book shall be banned on the red dot.

For example, state owned or controlled business. Sometime, we do not understand why we are against communism too.

He yakked away, trying to pass on his "words of wisdom", even though he got his facts wrong and displayed a poor understanding of the Chinese system. <br /><br />The Chinese leader listened politely to his monologue, without even attempting to point out his mistakes. (The other Chinese officials were either falling asleep or trying to stifle a laugh at the tall one's attempts to be a statesman.)<br /><br />The Singapore civil servants? No one dared to point out the mistakes made by the "leader". Even the "sacred" notes of meeting were subsequently amended to ensure that the leader appears as wise as ever in the "official records".<br /><br />Together with our compliant local media, that's how some people in Singapore remained enamoured by the "wisdom" of our leaders, who could even advise their foreign counterparts.Appalled Singaporeannoreply@blogger.com
