Better Value And Values

The problem in SG is not simply that the pap government is bad and the solution is not that the opposition parties and candidates are better.
It really boils down to these 2 things: Value and Values.

We in SG have got used to getting poor value. Take these 2 examples.

The foreigners who come here get to benefit from the infrastucture whilst taking up space. But what you get is not high quality individuals who improve peoples' lives. Instead you get the mid level executive Indian IT guy who does a google search when you go to him with a technical problem. The prc hawker digs his nose and then proceeds to cook you a plate of horrible tasting char kway teow.

Not all the government officials and bureaucrats we have are duds and fools. What they are is grossly overpaid, i.e. poor value-for-money. When did any of them ever come up with an innovative idea or an all-encompassing solution that benefitted everyone? They inevitably state the obvious and if it's not to make the people pay, it's to increase their pay. That's their answer to almost everything.

The values inculcated for a long time have always been to get richer and/or more powerful. Oh yes, try to get these for your family members and relatives and close friends as well. A good decent set of values for a country would be for the country to progress, for every individual to progress and benefit and get to lead a decent life and for citizens to help one another.

Even if one day the opposition take over or there is civil strife within the pap and new guys take over, if the value and values remain poor, nothing will change.

One will notice that the present slate of candidates from the 'whities' none is from outside their circle. This what we call, 'in-breeding'.

Quite a few are sons or....of ex-ministers, and all are from the same 'kennels' that bred them, clothed them & fed them. What value for money do we get, when it is exchanging the same 'wine' in a newer & slightly better looking labels, we are getting the same 'diluted wine'.

What values are we getting, none!.

We have ourselves to blame, for allowing our way of living to slide, for the majority had no voice & when they have voice, have no balls or gall, to make their lives livable.

This influx of foreigners who had contributed no value to our society had been allowed in since 1985. The constant reminder to upgrade and accept the FT's for they help create jobs or many of the companies will move away, and this had been far from the truth. We are not getting better value with people we pay for formulating such policies & had allowed our values to be rapidly eroded by the 'tsunami's of FT's....

For better value or values, choose this coming election, not only for yourself today, but think of your children ( if any) that comes after, what will their lives be say, in another 5 years or the next 10...

Think better value...and not not pay over the moon prices for 'famous chilli craps stalls', in which you can only eat once...and suffer the 'indigestion' for the next 5 years..

or better value & values....:rolleyes:
