When Sinkies were illiterate and ignorant


Up till the early 80s, the literacy rate of Sinkies was still not that high. Sinkies were also not so well travelled and they could be easily conned by all kinds of silly logic. They were thus treated as such and told of what was good or bad for them. That was forgiveable then.

One great theory was that privatisation would make govt owned or public services more efficient. And the reverse was equally true. Any private company that is nationalized or turned into a public company will immediately become a flop, inefficient and badly run. Sorry civil servants, I didn’t propound this theory. I was also told that it is so.

There is no need to bother about the quality of the people running it. No matter who, no matter how clever, how dedicated, how motivated, once a person is tasked to run a public enterprise, it would not work. On the contrary, no matter how stupid and silly the person is, let him run a private company, a privatized company, lo, behold, the company will become efficient and profitable.

This management theory should be taught in Harvard or at least in the local universities as the greatest management theory from Sin City.

Some are calling for the nationalization of the SMRT. How dangerous this is. The SMRT will definitely be badly managed and run at a loss. In fact if the civil service and the govt are privatized, things will definitely improved by leaps and bounds. We will have the best civil service and govt as well. Now that they are not privatized, please bear with their level of services for the time being and wait for the day when they are privatized.

How many daft Sinkies will disagree with this management theory? How many Sinkies today think that this is simply bull shit? How many would think that the effectiveness of an organization, any organization, is all about leadership and the quality of leadership and their motivation? How many out there are still thinking that they can con the daft Sinkies today with such lies? What do you think?

They said a lie, when spoken often enough, would become truth. This privatization theory is now a golden rule in Sin City. Dull and stupid people will become efficient and effective when working in a privatized company and vice versa.

I will only believe a private company is really private when all the senior managers and board of directors are made to declare their political party membership details.

Free the market place.

Let genuine competitions

give the consummer the

best goods and services.

Private or public is not the
issue.

director fess and profits kept going up but they kept claiming they need to increase fees to keep the company going due to increasing costs.

and now again someone suggested they need to increase fares to pay workers better..... zzzz......

I'm seriously wondering. do they really think people would not be pissed enough to vote them out?

Bureaucrats and ex-army generals are actually the same type.

Why pay them private sector MNCs CEO pay (a few miilion) when the same guys as a Stat Board bureaucrat is paid $500,000?

So of course Nationalise SMRT & Essential Services into Stat Boards and pay top bureaucrats salaries instead of CEOs.

This is a no brainer.

The Singaporean citizens have been hoodwinked with all these privatizations in the name of false productivity...and paying top renumerations to the same-type guys. Paper Generals with no actual business experience, totally bureaucratic in approach).
Absolutely no valued added in Monopoly businesses that are dressed up with fake-competition.

I am all for nationalising SMRT and having it run to the ground bleeding catastrophic losses along the way.

To aid the venture to its inevitable demise, I propose that the maximum fare charged be 5 cents. Yes, 5 cents...there is NO GOODS in the present marketplace you can buy for 5 cents. In previous times, you could buy 2 sweets from the mama shop for 5 cents.

This is the maximum fee...but only working adults should pay. Senior citizens, children, the unemployed, pregnant women travel FREE. Yes: F. O. C.

C'mon fuckers, put your money where the mouth is...nationalise the transport system.

Once upon a time, Singapore had a reasonably "free market" for transport. There were private bus companies. And "pirate" taxis -- aka "pawang-chas". And then the big greedy government came in and took over...a sort of "soft" nationalisation, if you will.

Having SMRT listed as a public "privatised" company is nearly close to nationalisation.

Crony Capitalism Singapore style is actually LEGAL...as long as you have the government as your business partner, no worries.

Got laissez faire?

You have let out a national secret. The SMRT is already nationalised, but the public do not know.

My developer is trying to convince me to move to .

But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on a number of websites for about a year and am worried
about switching to another platform. I have heard great things
about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it?
Any help would be really appreciated!
