[quote=\"pirate\"]Those are just symptoms of the disease. It was simply due to a loss of trust.


It's all pretty stupid anyway, once trust is lost it is extremely difficult to earn back. And that is something so basic that we teach it to our kiddoes.

Pirate, no personal attacks intended - but, can't help saying this out of my own frustrations - that this is not just based on one mistake. Doesn't it look like there is rotting going on? And getting kind of out-of-control now? Whatever happens, the people will still be the ones who suffer most. Yes, our responsibilities as parents weigh heavy on our shoulders.

Nah. There were quite a few howlers in the past too. They were deemed more forgiveable by the people (generally) because trust was still there. The rot started with sky high \"private sector\" pay for political office. Naturally, people started questioning competency and when that was not decisively dealt with, people naturally progressed to questioning motive. Once that snowball starts to roll downhill...[/quote]d hijacking of purported public institutions to serve d party began way back.
d general public don't hear much about d goings-on before d advent of d social-media when d dissemination of info was totally controlled by d power-dat-be. Glaring examples r d NTUC n PA.
Pirate raised a pertinent point about erosion of trust - as more worms come out of d woodwork, it will cost d MIWs votes at d ballot box if MIWs don't address t issues satisfactorily, beginning with d making of public institutions apolitical.
It will take a lot of undoing with d deep n intricate web of entanglements, but it is d right thing to do to regain public trust.

if I sponsor $5, can I be one of the directors?

Can't trust just d 2 of u. :rotflmao:
Always prudent to put in a third director
- purportedly to reduce opportunities for collusion.

It's Christmas season, taking a break......

Honestly, I haven't read or know enough about this to comment.

If it's one of those little political tricks PAP likes to play, then they deserve to be hammered....

But I don't know, really.

The equivalent of the social media back then was the coffeeshop talk and the grapevine. And it was quite potent. C'mon. Our parents and grandparents were not as naive as we make them out to be. Neither were things more hunky dory back in the 60s/70s/80s/90s than they are now. They were just more willing to close one eye (and sometimes even both).

Now? Let's just say that voters see fewer reasons to close one eye.

Alright, I just tracked back.

There is nothing wrong in the privatisation of public services per se. Many countries, including socialist ones, do it.

Obviously if there is corruption in the process, then the corruption is wrong and needs to be dealt with.

But do not confuse the 2. Corruption is wrongful, privatisation per se, is not.

Do take some time to read to understand the issues at hand. Privatisation is not a panacea for all problems, but neither is taking it back to g'ment. Either way someone pays.

My parents were.. They're very simple and trusting people. But they're quite different now. They may not know much, but they no longer give as much benefit of the doubt as they used to give.

But I sure do lurrve their policy making. Hard-nosed, pragmatic....and successful. This I mostly trust.

It's kinda sad. They don't have to play nasty to win, but they do.
