Ex- thamby Nathan still doesnt get it or he's demented.

[kingrant]

Fucktard! After 4 years of sitting around and being namby thamby and unashamedly pocketing $48 million without doing anything, he still doesnt get it.

Singaporeans acquiesced for 10 years which saw the PAP let in hundreds of thousands of "foreign talents" and what did they turn out to be? Nothing but trash! And we just got all kinds of problems - housing, transport, social behaviour...And he says we are protectionistic! Where are his brains, his heart and his loyalty?



SINGAPORE: Former president S R Nathan said Singapore must harness the value of the social sciences to tackle the challenges that the country faces.

That's because problems have become more complex.

Mr Nathan made this point at the Singapore Management University's inaugural Social Sciences Conference on Saturday, where academics and pre-University students shared their thoughts on the global economy.

He also held a forum discussion with over 250 students on issues relating to Singapore's limited natural resources and ageing population.

He also addressed concerns raised about foreign talent.

Mr Nathan said: "We are a small country with a small population. We may not have all the talent that is required to take advantage of the opportunities that come with scientific change, technological change or financial services change. And when we can't, we have to tap from somewhere else. I do realise that it causes some unhappiness but if you can't do it yourself, we can't set up a protectionist barrier so that we don't attract talent."

I suppose this is what Nathan wants to see more in Singapore

Cleaner killed by man who hijacked cab


AsiaOne
Saturday, Mar 17, 2012
A man died on Saturday morning after he was hit by a hijacked taxi at the driveway in front of the Budget Terminal.

The 34-year-old Indian man, Mr Chandra Mogan, a cleaner on duty at the airport, was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics at 7.13am.

The police received a call at about 6.50am regarding an assault by a 30-year-old Chinese national passenger on a 57-year-old taxi driver along the stretch of Airport Boulevard in front of SATS In-flight Catering Centre 1.

The passenger, who was headed for Changi Airport, started getting violent towards the taxi driver during the journey, said a statement released by Comfort Delgro.

The taxi driver later activated the distress button and got out of the cab.

According to Comfort Delgro spokesperson Tammy Tan, the passenger had also stepped out and allegedly started to attack the driver.

Police said the passenger was later seen taking over the wheel and driving the taxi towards the direction of the Budget Terminal.

The taxi hit Mr Mogan along the driveway of the terminal and smashed into a glass side door next to McDonald's. A traffic light was also badly damaged.

A spokesperson from the Singapore Civil Defence Force said they received a call at about 6.52am and one ambulance was dispatched.

The injured Chinese national suffered from head abrasions and was conveyed to Changi General Hospital.

Witnesses said the man had tried to flee but was stopped by passers-by. He was detained at the scene and police investigations are still ongoing.

Mr Mogan's family is in Johor and he has four children, aged between three months and 10 years.

Actually, it could be his hands are tied and he is reading from his ghostwriter who does not go out to see the world and understands nothing.

Nathan has gotta be careful. The most astute political observer of our generation.. GMS.. could pounce on him for plagiarising LKY's speech.

This guy lost it long time ago. When he was chairman of SPH, all the other board directors talked among themselves well before the board meetings and he only realised this near the end. People like Lien Ying Chow and Wee Cho Yaw knew that this chap was out of his depth was merely a watchman and not corporate identity. Anyone with an ounce of self respect would have stepped away. But this clown is an idiot.

This is how blur he is. He was invited to SAF Command and Staff to give a lecture on SPH and his role when he was Chairman. There were senior appointees and they expected a lecture on media management on security reasons. Instead he gave a lecture on how newspapers are printed. Not published but printed mind you such as running the printing presses in the night. The senior management was so embarrassed. And he was then a recently retired Perm Sec.
