Why Singapore A*Star, ST Engineering, with their many scholars, cannot

[Devil Within]

beats a self-starter from his garage in the USA?
Creativity and Innovation —thinking outside the box —are so much more valuable than just following orders and rote learning.

 

[Papsmearer]

A*SHit and ST Eng. are just jiakliaobee organizations. They keep re-inventing the wheel so that PAP can employ many retired useless SAF personnel in there and give many young fuckers jobs or they will be unemployed. For example, sinkieland don't need so many AFV, but they invent Bionix, then Terrrex, then Hunter, etc. But they have captive market, the SAF which is forced to buy their shit whether they want to or not.

A*Shit and ST and even DSTA are some of the worse leeching organizations in Singapore. They suck money from taxpayer like it was free air. This fuckers spend don't know how much on R & D and production lines to build Hunter AFV, Bionix I, Bionix II, Terrex, Bronco ATT. And also buy other armour vehicles like MRAP, Belrex, Peacekeeper and Vamtac. Why need so many types of AFV and so many of them in one of the smallest countries in the world? They can just license build an AFV from any of the combat proven countries in the world.

The above is one of the several areas where the PAP government wastes taxpayers money.

Answer by AI is like that:

The number of employees at the DSTA varies by source, with figures ranging from approximately 2,822 to over 4,000 as of late 2025

• LinkedIn: Approximately 2,822 employees
• ZoomInfo: 4,050 employees
• LeadIQ: Approximately 2.8K employees
• Levels.fyi: 2,231 employees
• RocketReach: 1,972 employees

Different sources provide different figures, likely due to variations in how they define "employee" or the specific date of the data.

you already answered the question. self-starters have a vision and a dream to do something. The scholars only think they are the best and constantly need to be given direction.

These scholars are running a state run corporation. The organization is used to hold on to strategic industry and maintain grip hold with their state resources.
Even for China, the state run industry basically is a zombie company.
With highly paid executive and people inside cutting and slicing the meat.

The PAP regime has zero tolerance for mavericks, doesn't matter if it's science or arts.

One party bao gar liao shithole with POFMA, there are no 人才, there are only 奴才.

It's the biggest area. Defence budget is $25 billion annually now. I have yet to meet any senior SAF officer who can name me the potential military threat to singapore that justifies this budget. U can build a very big hospital for $1 billion. We need this more then any shit A*Shit and ST and DSTA can produce.

Quite a few state run companies in China are successful in the world market. Like CRRC, many countries like Singapore buy their trains. Other then SQ, Singapore state own companies have not been competitive in the world markets.

Engineers at ST can only follow the flop concepts of US. One such project is Littoral warship.

ST has been banned from selling India weapons due to corruption by ST. Of course, covered up and not known in Singapore.

ST Engineering unit blacklisted in India​

ST Kinetic is banned from doing business in India until 2022.

ST Engineering (STE) yesterday morning halted trading of its shares and also put out an announcement in response to a bribery scandal in India.

According to an Aviation Week story dated 5 Mar 2012, the Indian Ministry of Defence (MoD) has blacklisted six defence firms, including STE’s subsidiary ST Kinetics (STK), from doing business in India over the next 10 years.

The MoD’s decision was based on evidence related to illegal gratification to officials, including Sudipto Ghosh, the former Director General of India’s Ordinance Factory Board (OFB).

STE maintains innocence in its announcement yesterday, STE maintains it is a law-abiding group and will now seek legal advice so as to clear its name of any shenanigan.
