Too shallow for words. Change with no change is the greater danger. Will they surpass the PAP, if ISA is there for them to use?

Re: Everything Is Fast Becoming Expensive Any refusal to trade with us will be considered a threat of war, sic.

Only those who don't do anything don't make any mistake.

Re: Caring for the poor? This is what will happen if you pander to the needs of loser They failed, period. So let's not do that, period. Many year ago, I had a debate with a schoolmate. It was about achieving too much too quickly and leaving the mass of havenots behind (big gini). We...

Re: Caring for the poor? This is what will happen if you pander to the needs of loser << Unfortunately, once again, I have no perfect solution... I'm only confident in my beliefs about the roots of the world's problems... And confident that I've tried my best to be the best that I can be so...

If shock therapy is the father, work permit is the grandfather. Sometimes, I feel the grandfather matters more than the father. In fact, a work permit COE will solve many problems.

Now that it is more than rhetoric, we have something substantial to work on. I am not an academic nor am I a healthcare economist, but such people can calculate what we would have spent on healthcare in the past if we use the SDP model. It is difficult, but it can be done. Then we would know how...

Abuse of a system is another kettle of fish altogether. BTW did SDP system mention co-payments? This is one weapon against abuse.

Very likely scenario.

Gag order? PAP has a whip in parliament. WP has a whip in public?

The greatest difference is they were not politicians to start off with.

Small issue? Perhaps. Jealousy? No. Important? Certainly. It is relevant to what our children pledge as one united people practically everyday. Are you guilty of what Low TK accused the PAP of doing in parliament? Are you trying to muzzle by branding a critic with unsavoury motivation?

That is another matter, maybe for a separate discussion. My point is we cannot determine what the Govt does, but we can use this factor (yardstick) to measure whether the average citizen's life has got better or worse in terms of monetary rewards. In fact we can rake up this factor year by year...

All the crticisms and castigation of the salary review will not amount to much. Don't know what WP will do, but I will remember soundly 2588, published 2010 median income (MI) of Singaporeans. PM's salary in totality/MI of any relevant period is the factor to watch. For the future, if this...

Great. Just got out of bed ... no track record ... and becomes your idol. To each his own. Works for me. Perhaps your idol can tell you (us) what he feels (thinks) when he hears our children pledge ourselves as one united people.
