MINISTERS POLITICISING CHARITABLE WORKS

In first world countries where a sizable proportion of their GDP is spend on welfare, government ministers of the ruling party do not go around trumpeting their deeds. However in Singapore, PAP ministers appears to go the extra distance to get political mileage for the few percentage of GDP they spend on welfare.

In the UK, a minister said that 99.9% of charities keep out of politics altogether.

"According to the civilsociety.co.uk website, Mr Newmark told a conference on social action: "We really want to try and keep charities and voluntary groups out of the realms of politics. Some 99.9% do exactly that. When they stray into the realm of politics that is not what they are about and that is not why people give them money."

In ThisLeeLand, the ministers no need to show license. They are all leegalized under the leegime.

For peasants, even permit issued can be revoked verbally any time and charged in court.

What do u think?

PAP is so concerned of special needs children. Should ask them how much budget MOE allocated to special schools? How much actual assistance offered to their parents in helping to look after them?
