Serious Video On Why Bro Chun Sing Is An Inspiration For Us All! Succeeding Without Social, Racial Or Religious Privileges!

Talk cock... stick to yr anti China...

I am happy for him, and it is heart-warming to learn about his poor family background. He should've remained in the army, he is not suited for life as a politician. As the Peter Principle states, people tend to rise to their level of incompetence. The moment he joined politics, he is already incompetent.

Bro Chun Sing's case showed that with hard work, you can succeed even if you are poor and with less resources. He stayed in a 2-room flat for most of his life. PAP's system of meritocracy, without showing favour to any particular race or religion and keeping corruption low, works.

Dude meritocracy means getting rid of the scholar system and appointing the best person for a job and not just because one is endowed with the title of scholar. That means farmers can be appointed to a top job if she performs well. Ours is not a true meritocracy but a paper one. There is a qualitative factor that is sorely missing from our very narrow quantitative definition based on As and S papers.

The scholarship system is inherently biased against late bloomers and fails to take into account merit at work. The very fact that scholars are fast tracked is against the idea of meritocracy.

Like I said, he is a statistical improbability. It's like saying all cops are potential murderers just coz one killed George.

Honestly, sinkeeland is a cronyism system.

According to the demonstrators, it's not a statistical improbability. They want their municipals' police departments disbanded because they believe most of their cops are murderers or beaters.

It's the same for humble people like Bro Chun Sing receiving top scholarships. Many of our scholars are from humble backgrounds, even till today.

Being from humble background or not is irrelevant to the argument of meritocracy.

It's only irrelevant if you are an oppie out to deny the good work of the PAP simply because you hate the PAP.

The translation is wrong.

Should be :

The real sorrow of poverty is being unambitious.
贫穷真正的悲哀是胸无大志
____________________________________________________________________________
unambitious
/ʌnamˈbɪʃəs/

adjective

1. not motivated or driven by a strong desire or determination to succeed.
   "he was an unambitious man"
   • (of a plan or piece of work) not involving anything new, exciting, or demanding.
     "the new design is unambitious"

I'm afraid you are skirting the issue of the lack of a qualitative factor to our narrow quantitative definition of meritocracy. It's nothing to do with my love or hate for the church of PAP. Where I worship should be irrelevant, especially in a meritocracy of ideas.

No I'm not. Bro Chun Sing came from a humble background. He's hardworking, he's smart and he did well in his studies and ECA in school. That's how he got his scholarship. He didn't have any family, racial or religious privileges. How else would you define meritocracy?

Just so you know, I took the trouble to amend my signature based on your input.

Someone who gets the job done well is the best definition of meritocracy. Scholars have been fast tracked over farmers who have performed better at work. Parachuting scholars into high positions without having to prove their worth at work is an affront to the notion of meritocracy.

Fast track is the wrong track.

Farmers do not perform better at work than scholars.

The scholars have heap of experience being part of many important projects. The farmers are there to be the grunts.

I'm flattered.

The oppies were trying to buy votes by squandering the reserves which they played no part in building up.

If that's true why have so many scholar led glcs failed miserably?or going nowhere......the only half in sg that seems to be achieving greater heights is DBS.

Singapore has been a First World country in a Third World asean zone for decades. Most asean people want to work in Singapore, few sinkies want to work abroad to earn ringgit or ruppiah. That alone speaks of the success of our scholars.

That's not relevant to the point I brought up,why are glcs led by scholars still so shytty and none has achieved international market dominance after 3 decades?

That's the point....it's surrounded by shytholes.....if sg was located in the European hemisphere or

ASEAN wasn't a shithole in the 1950s and 1960s. All of ASEAN had the potential to do well. But the pinoys had the Marcos, the Thais had fetish for coups, the jiuhus wanted racial and religious apartheid, the indons wanted a dictator, vietnam and cambodia wanted communism and war. So ASEAN, except for Singapore, fucked itself up. Singapore had PAP, who in turn, improved the civil service through the scholar system.

If farmers were given the same vast experience, they would perform well too. Again, an affront to meritocracy for giving someone a job responsibility without proof of competency.

As for the reserves, what you said represents everything wrong with our government. They think the reserves belong to them.

NO!

It belongs to the people. They are public SERVANTS (not maids, not helpers) and whatever they accumulated accrues to the people, not them. They hold the monies in trust for the people. The government of the day will be the trustees, if the opposition becomes government, the right to spend it falls to them.

NOT only must be humble,also must have a sense of shame.
