There is only one class of peop...It doesn't matter. There is only one class of people that can voluntarily select an exit strategy. The majority cannot select exit. For every one of them who exits and does not belong to the retirement class, there is always some one willing to return or enter to continue the status quo. As a matter of fact, more people from the aforementioned class exiting generally contribute to a greater 'welfare' for this 'new' class of master for two simple reason. <BR/><BR/>One, they have even a greater pool of people whom they can select to be their subordinate, and whom they know cannot challenge them either from a credential perspective, or from an authoritative angle. In another word, the greater the number of the aforementioned class exiting, the easier it is to control with intelligence. <BR/><BR/>Two, they have no competitors; that is, their occupational hazard is near zero and correspondingly, their occupational security a perfect score. With every person who can select an exit strategy leaving, this function exponentially increases. Remember that for every passing segment of time these 'new' masters sit at their desk, their power increases one notch as well. <BR/><BR/>Hence, beware of the public rhetoric, i.e. alarm, for those who exit. As long as there is an equilibrium between those who control and those who can be controlled without disrupting either effectiveness and 'efficiency', that lousy smelling word, a place defined for business is called good. In fact, as long as the old masters can enjoy the fruits of their labor secured and guaranteed by the 'new' masters, business is as usual. So for the aforementioned reasons, it is not that alarming that people who can exit choose to exit as long as there are people willing to take their place with their future getting brighter all the time. <BR/><BR/>In a world like this, not many opportunities hold the security of an ever brightening career as this one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-1163495611706210662006-11-14T17:13:00.000+08:002006-11-14T17:13:00.000+08:00Whenever there is government, their is corruption....Whenever there is government, their is corruption...<BR/>Agree???Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-1163427069217835902006-11-13T22:11:00.000+08:002006-11-13T22:11:00.000+08:00http://i-came-i-saw-i-solved-it.blogspot.com/Dear ...http://i-came-i-saw-i-solved-it.blogspot.com/<BR/><BR/>Dear All Commenters,<BR/><BR/>My blog [url above] is documentary proof that LKY rigged the 1997 Cheng San GRC election.

No this is not what makes us stupid idiots who need to be told that if not for the God given saviours we have from the hoLee family we would still be growing vegetables, killing each other in a racial riot every other day and living in attap huts which gets burn down every now and then, or forget all of the above when we see grown men earning millions shedding a tear ot two on TV.

Young must help make it happen<BR/>By Peh Shing Huei<BR/> <BR/><BR/>WHILE most young Singaporeans know the lyrics of Count On Me Singapore by heart, there seems concern in Parliament these days that, actually, they cannot be counted on. <BR/><BR/><BR/>The issue kept popping up in the House in the three days of debate thus far, as MP after MP stood up to opine on the apparent lack of rootedness among the young here. <BR/><BR/>Listening to their worries, it would appear that, at the first available chance, these post-independence rugrats will make a dash across the seas to other lands. <BR/><BR/>How valid is this perception? <BR/><BR/>Judging by a survey by Singapore Press Holdings in July this year, the MPs may not be far off the mark. <BR/><BR/>The survey found that 53 per cent of youth here would consider migration, more than Indians (39 per cent) and Malaysians (28 per cent). <BR/><BR/>As Dr Amy Khor (Hong Kah GRC) said on Wednesday, it is a 'very telling and worrisome statistic'. <BR/><BR/>The Government certainly believes so. In President S R Nathan's Address last week, he spoke about the need for a 'new social and political compact' for this new generation and to deepen its sense of mission. <BR/><BR/>MPs were not short of ideas on just how to do this. <BR/><BR/>On Thursday, Dr Khor said that, even as the Government entices foreigners here, it must make special effort to retain Singaporeans. <BR/><BR/>Yesterday, Mr Zaqy Mohamad (Hong Kah GRC) offered something more specific. He asked the Government to do more to remove the climate of fear and dispel perceptions that dealing with it is akin to being on a 'one-way street'. <BR/><BR/>He said there are these other perceptions, 'that the Government does not listen, that your feedback goes into a black hole, that the Government has already made up its mind when it consults the public or that government policies are drafted by locking three scholars in a room - without any sense of how the issues are viewed from the eyes of ordinary, humble citizens'. <BR/><BR/>In her maiden speech yesterday, Non-Constituency MP Sylvia Lim said Singaporeans need to feel they can make a difference before they will feel rooted to the country. <BR/><BR/>'That they can be agents of change in the society, and on their own terms,' she said of their longing. <BR/><BR/>The Workers' Party chairman added that 'restrictive laws and policies' like the ban on political films and restrictions on political expression should be repealed. <BR/><BR/>Will doing what she says keep the young rooted here? <BR/><BR/>To be honest, I can't be certain. <BR/><BR/>But I suspect that a lofty, arrogant and even authoritarian government is not the only monster causing the young to yearn for permanent flight. <BR/><BR/>=> Oh, really?<BR/><BR/>Another factor could lie with the lack of a romantic ideology that defines what it means to be Singaporean, one that would make this island inhabitants deeply proud of who they are. Pragmatic values are good for making a good living but hardly the stuff that makes you love a place. <BR/><BR/>As Dr Terence Chong, a fellow with the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, was quoted saying in The Straits Times recently: 'Our nation is built on pragmatism and... it doesn't inspire people to stay. They are actually exercising the inculcated pragmatism by leaving for better opportunities.' <BR/><BR/>To be sure, these are issues the Government is familiar with. As the President's Address hinted, the Government seems aware of the desire among the young for greater freedom of expression. <BR/><BR/>Said Mr Nathan: 'The P65 generation is better educated and more globally exposed than their parents, and completely at home in the Internet age. They need avenues to try out their ideas and fulfil their ambitions.' <BR/><BR/>If the Government indeed recognises the restlessness the young feel, then I would argue that it needs to act faster. <BR/><BR/>Its pledge to open up has often been captured in the metaphor of a group trying to cross a potentially treacherous river, guided by the Government of course, by feeling its way forward, stone by stone. <BR/><BR/>It may be time to take a bit more risk and do a little skip or two. <BR/><BR/>Yet, even as the Government attempts to speed up the crossing of the river, the young should not fall back on the pace of change as a convenient excuse for their own inaction and indifference. <BR/><BR/>In his Address, Mr Nathan also spoke of the need for the more successful among them to feel a sense of mission to help those in need and take responsibility for the country. <BR/><BR/>Young Singaporeans can choose two routes: Be passive and wait till the Government moves, or take the initiative and start moving. <BR/><BR/>As Mr Zaqy, 32, said: 'I think my generation will also need to learn to meet the Government halfway.' <BR/><BR/>Count on me, Singapore? It's your call too, young Singaporeans. <BR/><BR/>shpeh@sph.com.sg <BR/><BR/> <BR/> <BR/><BR/> <BR/> <BR/> Options Reply <BR/> <BR/> <BR/><BR/><BR/> From: anom1010 02:49 <BR/>To: makapa 2 of 8 <BR/> <BR/> 123512.2 in reply to 123512.1 <BR/> <BR/>>>as MP after MP stood up to opine on the apparent lack of rootedness >>among the young here.<BR/><BR/>hahaha god damn, not another freaking term to push shit away again! Its 'root/rootedness/rooting' this time is it hahaha wonder what would be the next retarded term these good for nothing comes up with.<BR/><BR/>What root are shittypore people suppose to have? What would create rooting in the first place, NOTHING except for the non-desire or inability to adapt a new environment. This may hold true for people from the past era where language, knowledge and education limits their ability to thrive overseas or even make any thoughts of leaving this shithole non-existent, but not in this present date and time. These barriers does not exist for most well educated present generation who have thoughts of their own not only what the controllers tell them to think. <BR/><BR/>Its a two way traffic and basic human behaviour, if the people are treated well, they will inturn appreciate the land that gives them opportunities. Why did these useless bums not examine what caused the 'rooting' of other nationalities in foreign land, the answer is very obvious to anyone with half a brain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-1163253921662732822006-11-11T22:05:00.000+08:002006-11-11T22:05:00.000+08:00What happens? http://forums.delphiforums.com/sammy...What happens? <BR/><BR/>http://forums.delphiforums.com/sammyboymod/messages/?msg=123502.1Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5539995.post-1163214536577068322006-11-11T11:08:00.000+08:002006-11-11T11:08:00.000+08:00sure you can turn the story around, but the media ...sure you can turn the story around, but the media only report one side; as for blogsphere, you said yourself it is unfocusedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
