SINGAPORE is too Complicated to Govern..

[Agoraphobic]

Singapore is an easy country to govern. Reasons:

- Sg is small. Doesn't need so many constituencies, only needs 5, NSEW and Central,
- Sg has no racial ethnic tensions or squabbles.
- Sg has no religious extremists, or at least in large groups.
- Sg has no organized crime that is able to invoke fear into the public.
- Sg has a compliant and obedient citizenry who respect the law and are orderly.
- Sg has peaceful neighbours who are more concerned with minding their own business.
- Sg started off with relations with the right powers of the world from the beginning (since independence) and has no enemies.
- Sg is located in a central and strategic position regional and international trade.
- Sg is free from natural calamities.
- The administrative/police/judiciary institutions in Sg are not corrupt an carry out the duties diligently.

Running the country of Singapore is a piece of cake. The government should be grateful to the peoples of Singapore for being good and law-abiding citizens!

Cheers!

No natural disaster. Flood and riot happen only once every 50 years.

Without an effective PAP government, we will not be where we are on the global map.

Being on the global map does it make Singaporean happier with all the inconveniences.

Yes, that is exactly what I said earlier. Success comes with its problems. People are expecting more. So, there is high expectations not only on the PAP , but also on Opps parties as well to deliver a better quality of life along with a higher standard of living for the people.

Honestly, almost everyone knows that the bar got to be raised for the government. We don't really need the Opps to tell us what is already known. Social media is a powerful tool to raise awareness. But what we need to hear is whether the Opps can deliver better than the PAP and how they will deliver better. Do they have the political will to follow through with concrete actions to better the lives of Singaporeans ?

“Who is this ridiculous man who wastes my time? Running Singapore is like running Marseilles. I am running a whole country!”
- Former French President Francois Mitterand on PAP strongman Lee Kuan Yew

if Singapore is ever conquered by Napoleon Bonaparte,we can be known as the other Marseilles.

Higher standard or Swiss standard?

One should be careful not to trust a man's word when he cheats his wife.

Marriage is a commitment just as a government is to his people.

How about our Law minister can trust him or not?

I don't know about his story . He is the Law Minister. He should know how to be trusted by the people in Singapore.

History has shown that in the event of nepotistic dynastic regimes,its better to have womanizing presidents in case the first batch of offsprings turns out to be clowns or imbeciles.

Many prime examples of "history" such as
Kim Jung Un the 3rd
George Bush Jr
and
Lee Hsien Loong.

various photographs of such clowns can be found in records of history.

Lee (Kuan Yew) was granted a meeting with François Mitterrand. Lee began lecturing the premier of France on governance. After Lee had left the room, Mitterrand said, “Who is this ridiculous man who wastes my time? Running Singapore is like running Marseilles. I am running a whole country!”

Spore is just a famiLee business lah.

If it was so complicated then why have all those GLCs If it is so difficult to run Spore, why are MPs is allowed to do a side businesses.

Everything looks difficult if you are clueless.
Paying you more does not result in better decisions.

SINGAPORE in the first place do not have any natural resources to exploit. so it has to do all jugglery to keep itself relevant in today's world

Bullocks. The human intelligence is one natural resource we can tap on.

Instead of chasing band wagons and producing generations of bio-chemists, engineers, IT specialists, biologists, etc. A clear and purposeful direction into the proper development of our peoples should be pursued relentlessly over the last generation.

Sadly, the development of our peoples is done in a half fucked manner. Ever wondered why this region has one of the highest IQ yet we produce not one Nobel laureate? The exploitation of technology is one of the key areas to go into and diverge into areas of medicine, bio-mechanics, automations, etc.

The funding into fundamental research is not given a boost where it is needed and yet the government is only keen to see results in areas of applied research. Clearly only interested in patents and down stream benefits. Patents so what? Seen how the PRCs churn out fakes within days?

a cell is more complex and complicated than the body.

Of all things you want to talk about cells. The cell is complex but not more complex than at the tissue level or organism level. It's akin to a macro and micro perspective of things and the level of complexity is similar.

The blueprint you've talked about was proposed by Albert Winsemius. The pioneer batch of leaders took heed and made some modifications.

I have rock solid faith that I do not want to see an over crowded Singapore. In fact, we're already very crowded now.
