The release of the White Paper is at its best, a classic case study of what NOT to do in PR and corporate communications.Evidently and obviously many many of you still refuse to recognize the dwindling Singaporean people and its attendant dire consequences.
Such a bunch of ostriches burying theirs heads in the sand imported from foreign lands and pretend nothing is going to happen. Hey it is warm and cosy under the sand yeah
At the worst, it shows a lack of political will to take a more imaginative creative and courageous route to handle long standing issues in population planning, competitiveness and nation building. in a way, it is the lazy way out, shifting potential problems that will arise from this to the next generation of citizens and government. We don't have to shoulder the consequences. Our children and grandchildren will. Current PAP members will not need to handle integration issues, the pieces will be for future government to pick up. The current slate will be remembered for the economic powerhouse they transform Singapore, the negatives will be just a footnote.
Singapore Inc has overtaken Singapore dream. Figures have overtaken actual human experiences. Do you want to suck it up? There is no right or wrong, just a choice for you and your future generations. -

This reminds me when Barack Obama got elected as US president the 1st time. He got to deal with all the broken pieces left over by the previous administration.

You see. Our employment situation isn't as rosy as it appears to be
http://singaporemind.blogspot.sg/2011/10/unemployment-truththe-real-statistics.html
The gist: Employment rate of 77% of employable is good number - among the top in the world. But we do not have minimum wage policy like those countries in the table. if we minus all workers that can't make a minimum wage, the unemployment number become as bad or even worse than many of the countries in the table. Conclusion: Our employment situation isn't as good as it is painted by the numbers. -

Aiya, translate into English lar.... As below---
\"Other people schooled in English, but I was schooled in Japanese. I speak English like airplane landing, go straight down. Some others speak English like the helicopter landing, circling here and there, circling 30, 40 rounds before they look for a tights spot to land....

Luckily my dad is teochew my mom is hokkien, my teochew and hokkien at least still can be useful for me.\"

"The trouble with the government is not that it lacks 20/20 foresight in infrastructure development, but that it fails to recognize that the problem is its immigration policy in the first place. The problems of low birth rates and ageing population lie in a social and physical environment that is not conducive to family life. Therefore, the solutions must be sought by focusing on promoting the quality of life of Singaporean families. By focusing on immigration, the government is using the cause of the problems today as the solution for tomorrow." – Mr Low Thia Khiang
