Re: PAP Swiss standard of living now downgraded to Swiss model of training, so pathet
Without that level of mutual trust, genuine democracy, and culture, I do not believe that during our life time, Singapore will ever achieve the Swiss standard of living.
U don't understand anything about the swiss standard of living. the swiss could not have attained their standard of living without their culture, behaviour, values, society, and democracy etc. This is what the PAP does not understand. U cannot attain swiss standard of living without adopting many of the elements of swiss society. In switzerland, all reservist take home their personal rifle with 2 30 round mags of live ammo, so that when they are mobilized they can already report with weapon in hand. What does this tell u about swiss society? There is an element of discipline, purpose, awareness of each person's national role, etc. Their govt trust them and believes in them, and they in turn trust the govt. That is why they can get to where they are today. U think the PAP trust every reservist to take home their SAR 21 with 2 mags of live round? Hell no. This difference between singapore and switzerland is not bridgeable. therefore, we do not and will never have swiss standards.
