The third person of the Unholy Trinity, Holy Goh (a.k.a. Wooden Goh), preached about elitism at Rotten Institution yesterday.

Below is his definition of "elitism".

The problem with meritocracy is that other countries are not practicing it and give priority to their own citizens. So if we r the only ones practicing it, then Singaporeans are screwed in their own country!!!

He keeps on claiming the title of Talk Cock King.

Keeps getting himself infected in Small Foot in Big Mouth Disease.

He, Wooden Goh, should be the last person in this world to talk about the subject.

Exactly, bro. The people have been telling the govt since 10 to 15 years ago that meritocracy had given rise to elitism and the PAP did nothing about it. And the PAP is now telling us back what we told them more than a decade ago? PAP is really fuck-up.

Why his wife let him publicly wear green hat and put him to shame as a former PM of Singapore. So what is it? Meritocracy or elitism?

The PAP aren't elitists. They are democratically elected and some come from very humble backgrounds.

It is the rest of Singapore who practices elitism with their endless quest for wealth and status.

Peanuts King said “Mr Lee argued that ideally and philosophically, all wealth should revert to the state upon the owner’s death. This would ensure that each successive generation would start on an equal footing, without the benefit of inherited wealth. Then each person’s success would depend purely on his own hard work and ability”

This fucker must be talking about a very stupid LKY who declared that he will fight foir freedom and liberal democracy God knows how many years ago,fucker never dare to mention the other part of naive :LKY speech.
But we either believe in democracy or we don't. If we do, then, we must say categorically, without qualification, that no restraint from the any democratic processes, other than by the ordinary law of the land, should be allowed... If you believe in democracy, you must believe in it unconditionally. If you believe that men should be free, then, they should have the right of free association, of free speech, of free publication. Then, no law should permit those democratic processes to be set at nought, and no excuse, whether of security, should allow a government to be deterred from doing what it knows to be right, and what it must know to be right...
Lee Kuan Yew, Legislative Assembly Debates, April 27, 1955

1955 to 2013,61% of our silly citizens must still be in their dream,no way they can survive in the 21st century,I am talking about the elites who are in 2013 listening to this fucker.

By the way,Goh just confirmed that LKY and him changed the law so his children do not need to pay the billion dollar tax due to them,who needs to argue against that now?

Meritocracy sounds good on paper, but in Singapore, meritocracy mostly means paper qualifications. But is paper quallification a good measure of meritocracy?

Anything wrong being elitist?

There's nothing inherently wrong with an elitist attitude but it's not a politically correct word nowadays.

Those who are less successful in life seem to be more easily offended in this day and age.

PAP Spin - Meritocracy stops Elitism

SINGAPORE - Emeritus Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong on Saturday warned of the threat of elitism, saying it can divide the inclusive society that Singapore is striving to build.

This may happen if society's brightest and most able think they made good because they are inherently superior and entitled to their success, when economic inequality gives rise to social immobility and the winners of meritocracy seek to be an exclusive social class not representative of Singapore society, he said.

And the way to guard against it is to adapt and strengthen the practice of meritocracy that has served Singapore well.

"What we need is to get the successful to understand that they have a responsibility to help the less fortunate and less able with compassion, to give back to society through financial donations, sharing of their skills and knowledge and spending time to help others do better...," he said.

He made the point at Raffles Institution's 190th anniversary dinner, where he received the Gryphon Award, which honours the school's most distinguished alumni. The citation was read out by Professor Tan Ser Kiat.

Mr Goh called on top schools to play a role in ensuring that elitism and a sense of entitlement do not creep into the minds of their students.

The Government, on its part, will continue to have policies and programmes that give a leg up to those who have fallen behind.

He said: "Those of us who have benefited disproportionately from society's investment in us owe the most to society, particularly to those who may not have had access to the same opportunities. We owe a debt to make lives better for all, and not just for ourselves.

Re: PAP Spin - Meritocracy stops Elitism

It is the PAP's version of meritocracy that has caused elitism!!! Wooden Goh is pretty dumb. He is an elite because he fawned on LKY.
