What I hate about the current Singapore

But fear not, the conspiracy theorists and Singapore netizens have a greater pool of wisdom than even the economists who make it their business to know......

Would you reckon that if things are more transparent and accountable, there will be less room for such speculations?

But it is their property.. can you prevent them from planting a software bug in the power station..?

That will go off in times of war.. or terrorist attack.

for example, cut off their own nose to spite you ? :rotflmao:

say, Japanese invading Singapore....

Did you all heard yesterday news?


All of a sudden, GIC came out to clarify that their coumpound return has been 3.XX% instead of the 7% they claimed previously.

And that they have cut down on stocks investment.

Coincident?

[quote=\"limlim\"]WHY need to sell the power station??


Is the govt so poor that they had to sell critical infrastructures? Rather sell power station than to dig into reserves?

The power stations sit on our soil, its not as if the French or Japanese can dismantle them and ship them off.

But it is their property.. can you prevent them from planting a software bug in the power station..?

The refineries on Bukom are owned by Shell, BP and others. I figure we should take them all back then? Who is at the losing end here? If any of those countries were to turn hostile, how difficult would it be to take those facilities back? Might as well say we don't buy our Air Force jets from the US in case they decide to sabotage them.

why would you spend $ on a piece of useless equipment or medicine you do not intend to eat and solely profit the doctor or hospital just bcoz the money is from medisave?

really makes no sense right?

I wish I could share more here, but when you say \"makes no sense\", you are completely right. Singaporeans say and do many things that make no sense.
