The baton changes hand in China
Another decade passes, another few good men giving way for new leaders to take over the leadership of China, to continue a long and arduous task of bringing a people, 1.3b to be exact, to enjoy a higher standard of living, to live in peace and prosperity, to be safe from foreign aggression and exploitation, to be equals among equals in the community of international citizens.
China has been blessed with having good and honest leaders to be in charge since the early and tumultuous years of reviving and modernizing an ancient country and people. The years under Mao Zedong, the pioneering leader that reunited a broken nation were marked by big experiments and changes that swayed the country from extremes with deadly consequences. But things got better after Deng Xiaoping took over, from the remaking of a country to the rebuilding of a nation and uplifting the lives of its people. It was no sheer game playing. It was a serious endeavour that could make or break a country and its revitalized people and an emerging new nation rising from abject poverty.
Following Deng came two able leaders in Jiang Zemin and Zhu Rongji to continue his work. They did what was necessary and handed the baton to Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao. The flame of a new China continues to glow in greater brilliance under their charge. They could achieve more, though there were still much to be done given the immensity of the task.
Now these two meticulous and no nonsense leaders are stepping aside for another two new leaders in Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang to carry on. On hindsight, the most serious and dangerous task of Hu and Wen must be the removal of Bo Xilai from the top leadership. It could be disastrous for Bo to take over the helm given the mess he and his wife got into. China could have fall back by several decades if corruption and abuse of power when dishonourable and dishonest men were put in charge. It was a close shave as Bo was slated and in contention for the top post.
China is now in good hands again, and with two able and honest men in charge and ten more years of continuity, stability and growth.

How to Raise the capabilities of locals, Go for the maximum and Poke above its weight?
Engage the Swedish experts to come to Singapore, on how they can invents, discover and innovate so many important inventions and patents, tweak, adapt and modify their systems to ours?
Engage and appoint on the Dutch how they can have work life balance to increase their birthrate?
Reduce our ministers pay to equvalents to the Nordic ministers pays, to reduce costs? Nowadays with highly advance technology difficult to corrupt? Discoveries of YSL and MF case, through internet?
Appoint the Danish to develop our SME on how to design international best seller products?
Learn from the Finnish, on how they can have free educations, health care, retrench benefits until the workers find the new jobs, old age retirement benefits?
Return the CPF to those who qualify at 55, who have a better returns to invest on their own? Stop the brain drain 200k Singaporean oversea?
Learn, improvise, enhance, modify, adapt & tweak the above suggestions to our local context?
Uilitise our massive $200 billions of reserves & returns, through casinos, land and properties sales, rental, ERP, GST, Levies & COE etc., to raise the standard of living, increase birthrate, take care of the old age & health systems, reduce the wages gap & raise the standard of living etc?
No mentor position?
The mentor idea is all a load of shit to let the old leaders hang on to power.
If new leaders taking over still need the guiding hands of the old leaders, what does that say about those new leaders? Obviously not up to standard and have to have many people holding his hands. Need I say more?
Quotes from Wen, a humble and self deprecating man. There are many things left undone. But China is a very big country with a lot of things and problems that need attention. Don't expect any one leader to be able to resolve them in 10 years.
Wen lamented that he 'fell short in some tasks to improve the people's livelihoods.' He even commented 'that even among top officials, abuse of power, trading power for cash, and collusion between officialdom and commerce continue unabated.'
How many leaders would admit mistakes, not being good enough, not done enough, and to talk about corruption and abuse of power openly.?
Can Singaporeans stop their reliance and dependency-mentality on PAP?
Will the baton change hands in Singapore?

"Will the baton change hands in Singapore?"
To that question I will ask:
'Will Singaporeans wake up and force the change?'
Nowadays technology so advance, it difficult to corrupt as show in many advanced countries, most of them dare not corrupt because of internet? Last they were paid ten time the amount the excuse is that, they worry about corruptions, which now is easily find out by the internet?
YSL and MP case was discovered by internet, so most will not corrupt, so no reason to pay them 10 times the pay of Nordic countries ministers, as the Nordic countries are highly successful, low inequality, high birthrate, high quality of life, high birthrate & highly innovative? If they can govern with this amount why not Singapore?
Our government pay should be adjust to around slightly more about 10 percents above the pay of Nordic countries, which is more reasonable?
They had a good system for us to learn from, multi-parties, reasonable cost systems to maintain, yet efficient? Diversify the talents? An insurance against any mistake from single party system?

Politicians and the fly are similar. They like to collect some shit and put the shit on the food that people eat and causing them sick. The suicide rate in China is still very high. Only the lives of selected few are good, the majority is still living in povety.
2011 profit sharing is $900 per person, what will be the profit sharing in 2016, will it be $1800 or $2000?
