Why?

i think you have underestimated the sinkieness of the sinkies...

This should be made the quote of the month, very profound, eerily true.

Basically,most Singaporeans are very self-centred and ungrateful in this island of greed,it is not worth the time and resources to fight for their interests.But human nature is such that when we see few bullies oppressing,persecuting,plundering and extorting money from the majority ordinary people, a few good human beings with conscience and justice will stand up against the bullies although aware of the risks of defamation,bankruptcy and jail.It's about struggling to help every Singaporean get a decent standard of living and quality of life,nothing about monetary benefits.

from the human perspective, u r right.

but heroes and heroines are made of better stuff....

In this mortal world, even an aged man of 89 needs to learn much.

There's really much too much even for an aged man to learn.

but he doesnt see it that way...and the pap and their cronies hold him in awe

Being intelligent is not the same as being human. Being human is more than just being intelligent. But humane people can also have superior intellect.

Crooks and rogues also have superb intelligence. It's how the intellect is put to use that makes the difference between a crook and a humane human who has a sense of righteousness and moral compassion.

I have said Amy Khor is not pretty in one of the threads..but Amy Khor is intelligent

And that was my point about you being hypocritical about owning shares in GLCs. If they are doing well, and paying dividend so you can have a good life. What makes you think they will change their modus operendi ? If you truly believe that the tax payer funded rort is going to cause problems in them in the future, why are you holding onto them? See the irony of sleeping with the enemy and condemning it?

with cronyism and the way business is done in SG with TH and PAP support, how can TLCs and GLCs not do well...take the example of SMRT...badly managed company by HC's cronies SPH..who was paid millions. They caused untold damage , disruption and morale problems...SPH and HC shd have been sacked for mismanagement but no action was taken..Even with such poor mamagement and uproar, the pap pumped in $1.1B of tax payers money to buy buses and continue with high divident payment and the pap even said that bus fares must be increased.

so GLCs may not be well run...but the pap will use tax payers money to give good dividends so that TH and HC will look good and have money to gamble in risky foreign ventures...watch for OLAM..etc..investment in Virgin Atlantic suffered a loss of $1.3B

you dont agree with the reasons why I bought certain SG shares?

u want me to buy the shares which you think I shd buy?

 

[GOD IS MY DOG]

You think that the GLCs are squeezing the Singaporeans yet you still holds shares in them and leading a good life? Doesn't that sound a bit hypocritical to you? By holding to their shares, you are in a way supporting them you realised?

you gotta have millions invested in these companies to have any real meaningful dividends................

from your postings you sound ignorant of SG politics and financial investments.

But yet you have the audacity to advise me what SG shares I shd not buy?

what's meaningful to you?

are you referring to % returns or absolute amount?

 

[Picardo]

I have no doubt more than a few among the big group may be humane and compassionate by nature, especially when we think of those old ones who have already passed on.

But when one directs one's attention to the astronomical, out-of-this-world, and morally-embarassing multi-million dollar salaries, one should instantly and instinctively smell a rotting rat, never mind about such lofty things like compassion.

Is a 7% ROI significant to you?

or is $50,000 return on $1m investment more significant to you?

I agree...the pap's answers to many of SG problems make LHl and his ministers look weak and mediocre. they certainly dont look good leaders and shd be sacked like

And which of my post suggest which and what SG shares to buy? You sounded like you are assuming that I am making suggestions to you. All I said was the irony of holding GLCs shares, which you admit you did, and your rant about them squeezing Singaporean.

Whoever is at the helm will need to tackle all the problems associated with running of a country. It is the same in any country, big and small. Usually, a big country will have bigger problems and challenges in terms of administration, infrastructure, populace, etc, etc than a small one.

But to demand an astronomically huge amount of money (as compared with world leaders who have many times heavier responsibilties) for running a tiny country is the height of absurdity. That should not be allowed to continue any longer.

By the way, are any leaders anywhere in the world 'mediocre'?

I agree...the pap's answers to many of SG problems make LHl and his ministers look weak and mediocre. they certainly dont look good leaders and shd be sacked like
