Will this public apathy make Singapore easy meat for a foreign predator?

[kchunjeng]

Quoted : From Singapore-Windows

"Political scientists view the disinterest as a worrying development for this young nation.

“For a strong nation, government and people must work together to compete with the world and stay on top of world problems, especially in security.”

His second thought: “Will this public apathy make Singapore easy meat for a foreign predator?”

The answer : It will :(

The Solution : DO SOMETHING BEFORE IS TOO LATE !

Saddam Hussein preyed on his own people and paid for it. The local situation is similar in a sense.

No. That's the Chink version where life in PRC is cheap. Saddam Hussein was an important ally of the CIA at one time. His mistake was in invading Kuwait. Even then Saddam asked permission and was told by his CIA handlers - "We have no opinion regarding your border dispute". 41st POTUS who was the former CIA chief apparently had a change of heart a few days later and that sealed Saddam's fate.

A caste based society is cheaper. You missed the entire point here. The Iraqi people hated Saddam. His fate was sealed by the people.

Nope point not missed at all. There wasn't much of a caste if any at all in Iraq. Just 2 factions the majority Shite and the minority Sunnis and a very small group of kurds. Saddam was from the minority Sunni population. In fact you missed the point altogether. Saddam while hated in some quarters of the Muslim world was admired by the people of Iraq and the Middle East who perceived him as a savior standing up to the west.

It didn't take long for Saddam to find out how much he was respected by his people and the Arab world. Where were all the respectable Arab brothers when he needed them?

Most of them are dead unfortunately. The kill numbers of Iraqi citizens currently stand at 655,000. The other problem was that Saddam was a gun touting Sunni Muslim. Not the secular, radical type of the majority Shiites in Saudi Arabia or in Iran. The Americans did the Osamas out there a big favor by getting rid of Hussien. Wait for the blow-back down the road.

Only the minorities who supported Saddam fought the Americans while the majority stood by and the Americans got what they wanted.

Like i said, the majority were the Shiites. Sunni were the minority. The Shiites had everything to gain from the American invasion.

If the minority screws up, the majority wins. All the best.

Usually the majority loses. Look at SG under 75% Chink majority.

The minority should work harder. Good luck.

We always do. You might want to dish that advice out the the majority that are complaining about losing their jobs to FTs.

If I'm not wrong, the local aryans are also getting squeezed out of the job market by the aryan mainlanders.

Not really as we had plenty of practice over the years from Chinese preferred or must be Chinese pre-requisites. So in short we are doing fine. Its the local Chinese that are having a hard time. You can find evidence of that in this very forum.
