Great Leap of Faith in Singaporeans




Every Singaporean has to be forgiven for having the impression that our politics is actually petty politics of individual attacks and character assassinations. It is always about how to argue or talk cock to win a brownie point at best, nothing substantive or meaningful, and nothing constructive towards the well being of citizens and a better future. And every encounter almost without failed ended up in the gutters with both parties ending up dirty with mud and shit all over. There is no dignity in this kind of political scuffles even for the winners.

Oh, there were big issues being talked about but always a one sided affair. There seems to be a conscious effort to avoid discussing anything important or anything that will affect the people and the future of this island. Don’t believe me, check, any real discussion on the CPF issue or it is a case of I said so and it is now the law. So get on with your life.

What about the PWP, was there any discussion, or serious discussion? Oh yes, they discussed and voted for it in Parliament. Really? Then why was there a big crowd at Hong Lim and why are the people still so angry about it?

What about the cost of health care, the number of Singaporeans PMETs losing their jobs to foreigners, etc etc, were there really discussions, political discussions by political leaders?

When would our politics take a leap forward to a higher plane, to really talk and discuss about serious issues and not personal attacks and ignoring the contrarian points raised? Maybe there were some school boy debates going on. I am wondering if they were serious discussions that men and women in leadership should be doing, or simply the blasting and pushing aside of someone without any attempt to listen? No need to talk, no need a second look, anything coming from the other side must be bad and not worth the time to look at.

And serious discussions are not like kopitiam talks, when two parties just shoot it out and whoever can talk better, even when talking rubbish, would look good and clever. Serious discussions require serious and deep thoughts and take times to consider. The main stream media should take the lead to publish these thought processes in full not only for the authors to express their views fully but also to educate the masses of the opposing intellectual thinking. So far this appears to be the reserves of a few select academics and individuals. A few politicians may enjoy such a privilege to have their thoughts printed in the media, and rarely, if there was any coming from politicians from the wrong camp. In general, politicians did not seem to have serious ideas worth printings or to share with the public. Only academics are intelligent enough for this kind of works.

Isn’t this strange, that the million dollar politicians don’t have better or worthier ideas than the academics to be aired in the media? It is high time that the MSM put in effort to allow our super talents to have a say in the press, at least to prove that they are really intelligent. It is also time to show the world that our super talents can think and their ideas are worth printing and reading and bestest.

Why allocate so much valuable media space to foreigners that often have an agenda that could be contrary to our interests? Why allowed foreign propaganda and agenda to have so much space in our MSM, often written by dounces?

There is a need for national issues to be aired in our media, by our thinkers, academics and politicians. Nevermind if we only have a handful of thinkers. Nevermind if only the thoughts of Mahbubani, Tommy Koh, Chan Heng Chee and Barry Desker are good enough for the time being. There must be others that have ideas that are worth reading and sharing.  Oh, I nearly missed out on Han Fook Kwang, Warren Fernandez and Chua Mui Hoong. This island cannot have only these few local thinkers, and the thousands of highly paid foreign correspondents to fill our pages telling us their coloured views of local and international events.

We need to fill our pages with serious local issues, political issues, written by our very own thinkers. Please, spare us the new citizens. It is quite insulting to think that there is no works of local thinkers worth printing and only views of new citizens and foreigners are superior. Or it is true that we have no talents except the few in political office?

When will we take this great leap of faith, to openly talk and discuss about our own affairs and our own futures? Can start with CPF, PWP for the moment. Or there is really nothing to discuss, or too sensitive to discuss, or they are state secrets? Or there is no good enough or talented enough Singaporeans to discuss them? Or they are all too busy counting their money?

RB

It's true. Very true. We have no talents.

Or rather no enough talents to join a party (other than PAP) and prove to 60% Sinkies that they are ready to be govt by contesting 100% seats next GE.

So far we already have quite a few known talents, like Teochew Ah Hia and Hainan Ah Ko.

But definitely no enough lah. And worse, both want to be their own general.

Or rather everyone want to be general but no one want to be soldiers.

Whereas this is not the case for PAP. They accept only one general to be the leader and the rest willing to be just soldiers, even though they are as talented as their leader, maybe even more talented.

Anonymous said...

Most, if not all, Sinkie talents want to do only 2 things.

1. Make money, not join opposition.

2. Make money, and join PAP, if they want to be in politics.

3. If cannot make money in Sinkieland, emigrate elsewhere to make the money.

Still wondering why no talents in opposition and hence still not ready to be govt?

I lost my trust with the pap gov't when the pap town councils sell away their financial systems to AIM just to fix the oppositions. Aren't we all singaporeans in the first place? Why so petty thinking to fix oppositions and let all the citizens suffer and pay more?

PAP is very smart.

They create the ideal conditions to enable smart people (doesn't matter Sinkies or foreigners) to make lots of money.

And when talents can make money, they don't want to talk so much. And hence they leave the talking to those talents whose job need to talk, eg Mahbubani, Tommy Koh, Chan Heng Chee, Barry Desker, Chua Mui Hoong, Warren Fernandez, Han Fook Kwang etc.

So RB, have your questions been answered?

Alamak, RB u don't know meh?

40% didn't vote for PAP last election, tio bo?

So the big crowd came from these 40% lah.

RB, at your age and hence wisdom, u should have thought and know this can be the case lah.

If WP don't want to be ready to be govt, I am afraid they might even lose Aljunied next election.

Sinkies who voted for them previously may come to a point where they will start seeing WP as a "What's the Point?" party.

PAP philosophy is getting more & more similar to the Republicans in America. They believe in spending like mad on defence & they do not believe in minimum wage & spending more on social spending.

They also believe too much in businesses so much so that singapore is over corporatised. In every aspect of society, the govt owns a corporate entity to make money out of Singaporeans. In grocery thru NTUC, in utilities thru PUB & sing power.

As the govt & CEOs of these corporates get richer, avg Singaporeans get poorer. It is ridiculous.

@ hysterical RB:

Where got "serious issues"? Every so-called issue has been solved or can be solved simply by leaving people to make their own individual and personal adjustments to adapt to changes.

The reason you don't get any "discussion" -- other than NOISE -- is that most mature, functional adults are simply getting on with and enjoying their lives in a very awesome place to be at this time in human history. i.e. To the functioning mature adult there is NOTHING political or relating to these so-called "problems" to discuss.

Asia is globalization's poster child, and Singapore could well be Asia's "Renaissance" capital.

These so-called "problems" raised by redbean and his ilk are nothing than figments of a collective imagination.

The moment you find it in your own selves to change your attitude, that is the moment your ILLUSION of a so-called "problem" disappears, or changes to opportunity.

Matilah, when you forgot to take your medicine, we know. Now you got another problem. Don't overdose. You get high and hallucination. But the feeling is damn good I am sure.

Matilah, ya right. The "problems" r imaginary. Just like the little India riot is imaginary, the sky high hdb prices tt require avg Singaporeans to empty their retirement acct is imaginary, the old folks picking rubbish or cleaning tables for a living are imaginary, the poor school kids who hv to spend hrs on tuition r imaginary, the loans tt tertiary students hv to take to fund their university students r imaginary, the sardine pack mrt is imaginary.

Where r u living, Woodbridge?

>>the little India riot is imaginary,

No, it was real, but it's not a problem.


>> the sky high hdb prices tt require avg Singaporeans to empty their retirement acct is imaginary,

No, it's not imaginary, but it is also not a problem.

>> the old folks picking rubbish or cleaning tables for a living are imaginary,

Please lah, this is not a problem. This is actually A SOLUTION. If not, you will have a problem: destitute, unemployed old people. At least they have a job and can earn some money.

Fuck you, you are an idiot lah!

>> the poor school kids who hv to spend hrs on tuition r imaginary, the loans tt tertiary students hv to take to fund their university students r imaginary,

Fuck you again. At least they have the opportunity to LEARN. This is a SOLUTION to the very real problem of having a nation of UNEDUCATED and thus UNPRODUCTIVE young people.

Wake up your motherfucking ideas lah, you dumb piece of shit.

>> the sardine pack mrt is imaginary.

No, it is real. You don't like: buy a fucking car lah.

Like I said, all these so-called "problems" can be solved by the individual ability to make better choices.

Got anymore useless imaginations?

Wah, I usually get compliments like that from the lau sui milfs/ cougars I bang -- usually becoz their husbands cannot fuck anymore. Anyway, you are the first male to reward me such esteem. I'm honoured.

Please lah, I give you lots of kopi. Ask those lazy fucks to turn off their Ad Blockers and click the adverts lah. They are stingy and lazy because most of them surf via 3 & 4G connections so they dun wanna pay for advert bandswidth. Nevermind, I fuck them for you:

HEY YOU OTHER CHEEBYES: DON'T BE LAZY AND STINGY COCKSUCKERS LAH. TURN OFF YOUR AD BLOCKERS AND CLICK THE MOTHERFUCKING AD LINKS SO REDBEAN CAN LIVE LAH. DON'T BE THE TYPICAL UGLY SINGAPOREAN WHO JUST TAKE, TAKE, TAKE ALL THE TIME. CLICK THE LINKS OK? FUCK YOU VERY MUCH :-)
