Chenonceau:3Boys:[quote=\"concern2\"]Being noticed and mentioned by Obama makes you proud - like Jack Neo feeling proud GCT mentioned him in speech I think its ok to feel proud of my country's achievements, its not as if I had anything personally to do with Changi Airport's success. Take it for what it is....better than being cited as a crime ridden city.Errrrr... I too am proud that the Singapore Changi Airport is generally known worldwide to be a good airport such that it would spring to spontaneous recall when the President of USA needs to cite an example of good airports. IMHO the comparison with Jack Neo (the sexual predator) is somewhat unworthy.[/quote]Now sort of feeling apologetic for making that reference.. :imsorry: 3Boys!Chenonceau had rightly pointed out to me but I was ....slow lah If it hadn't been for JN's sexual case, the reference would have carried my genuine meaning...I guess. Anyway, perhaps Obama was thinking about the emergence of Fort Knox Singapore (FNS)? The timing of his speech kinda coincide with the opening of FNS (2010)... Just wondering..please correct me if I am wrong.

US debt has been the highest ever since, situation is really bad!

UncleLim:I think I want to trust that policy makers do the best they can for Singaporeans.But who are the actual policy makers? Who does the research? Who writes the papers? I know eventually some permanent secretary or minister will sign it off, but I won't want these scenarios:(1) Unmarried, divorced or gay policy writers in matters concerning families(2) Young and healthy scholars from elite backgrounds deciding on how to tackle problems concerning destitutes and the neglected aged(3) Civil servants who have multiple cars (for themselves and their family) deciding on public transport standards and improvementDo you expect the destitutes to write policies for themselves then? And perhaps make you, the taxpayer, pay for them?I think they should be helped, but I fear your criteria as to who should write policies is a tad simplistic.

forgot to watch.

Where is this Australian teacher?I need him to talk to my kids !!
