		<description>This is what we mean and all of us knew what they will say and what they do etc. Guys!!! Admit the fact that here is a ONE PARTY GOVERNMENT!

Whatever they do wrong, they will just have to say &quot;Oh, the Government and Top management bla bla bla .....not to blame&quot;. Now put it this way, if opposition were to have just one small mistake; God damn! That&#039;s it.

Come on, think we should call PAP not as &quot;People&#039;s Action Party&quot;, but rather &quot;Pien Ah Peh&quot; (Bluff Old People).

One thing they say, economic grow bla bla bla percent. Next thing they will say prepare for recession bla bla bla and etc (more to come).

During the National Day Speech, he said about Director Jack Neo movie regarding the ERP etc. He also said that the movie is just a show. He also said that how come Jack Neo never cast about what the Government are doing etc. Come On! You think he is that stupid to do that to expose everything of how our Government are monopolising the country and the people? Well, everyone knows that, if anyone dare to just say something about the Government; they better go on the run.

Hey guys, you know what they are doing and how we are being treated. The PAP did not build this country, it&#039;s us The People of Singapore build this place and a better place to live. We are mostly assets rich, but, majority are not rich in liquid (money).

Let&#039;s us make a change; and not say that we must topple the Government, but, at least have more opposition to sit in and have better saying power. We can forget what MM said that the Opposition will ruin the country. We have to tell them, everyone needs a chance and they (PAP) were once an opposition party. If they have the guts and say that they are capable, PROVE IT to the new generation. The next election they should go on a one-on-one candidate rally instead of a gang of wolves bashing up one sheep.

Stand up Singaporean!! Malaysia, USA, Korea and other places have change. It time for us to change too.</description>

		<description>You want to benchmark your salaries against Pirvate Sector Salaries, and why not &quot;benchmark accountabiity&quot; against the best managerial practices in Private Sector as well?

How about Lord Brownn of BP caught with his..ahem..pants down.....and preferred  resign immedaitely instead of waiting his retirement t leave, which was only a few (I think 1 or 2) months away?</description>

		<description>Hi Mee Siam,

not that we don&#039;t want to vote against them; it is always walk-over for places where unhappy people are. The last time, didn&#039;t they redo the election &quot;ward&quot; coverage. They track this very well. You&#039;ll only get to vote if you stay in places where PAP thinks that they will surely win.

Also, most people huuhaa now, but when PAP gives out $ just before election, they get blinded by $ immediately. It happened so many times. Funny that opposition never stressed this during past elections. Also, I noticed that young people, who get good pay and can afford good standard of living, very pro PAP. Of course, there are also those, who got so happy after shaking hands with these important &quot;godly&quot; people.

Another point is that election will only be postponed until most people are quite happy with life.</description>

		<description>Hi Fire Pheonix,

If you work in a company and make a grave mistake, they will surely ask you to go, so it is not that &#039;it is not our culture&#039;, but more like not in &quot;their empire&quot; and we, the commoners, can&#039;t do anything.

Anyway, if everyone is the same egg, then, no one can be sacked or else it would only bring similar trouble to oneself. You can&#039;t set a precedent to be used against oneself. Don&#039;t you agree? Maybe our G should be sent to Japan for training on sacking oneself for blunders in nation issues.

Hi Nice To Know,

I am not too sure about this voice getting louder in the future. Our G may stamp it down before that happens. Oops! Will I be sued for saying this?</description>

		<description>Have You(all) noticed that the last few days, four of our leaders; PM Lee Hsien Loong, DPM Wong Kan Seng, Union Chief Lim Swee Say and MM Lee Kuan Yew have been hoarding the limelights in the Medias?

What did their prominences in the Medias tell us? It all mean that whether we believe and like them or not, they are still incharge of us and calling the shots. What can we do? And what do You want? It also means the more You talk about me, the more I(they) will show You who I am.

Don&#039;t You agree?

		<description>Three top railway officials and government official were sacked over the train accident - even though investigation was still underway.

http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/afp_asiapacific/view/344542/1/.html

This is the kind of accountability that we expect from our million-dollars paid ministers.

But ... it is not our culture.</description>

		<description>Its nice to know that many Singaporeans feel for Singapore and clearly can see whats going on.

Give it a few more years, the volumes will be louder and the truth be known.

The stale times should just save the trees and stop publishing all together

The internet is where things get interactive and it opens up everyones minds.</description>

		<description>Groundworks,
this is what we get from nepotism in power.

Integrity ? Sure, PM Lee has integrity protecting his own coffers that are still useful for taking his blunder and follies. PM Lee once mention no free lunch. So million dollars ministers &amp; MP need to behave like dog and scapegoat to deserve their lunch.</description>

		<description>At the beginning I was having high hopes that he would do his father proud but, after 4 years, I have no doubt that he has destroyed all that his father has built up over 40 years of hardworks. The way he handled so many national issues, since he became PM in 2004, really made me lost all my faith and confidence in him.

Only knows how to protect his own reputation, his own power and his own kind but very poor in national leadership.  Unable to inspire and motivate the nation, what is the use of talking about integrity? Does it mean anything to us, the people on the ground?

Great disappointment!</description>

		<description>It&#039;s hard to imagine an incident of this magnitude being resolved/dismissed by dealing with the officers/guards on duty on the day of the escape. What the COI revealed (and possibly did not reveal) is gross negligence, oversight and failing of the system, processes and people beyond those at Whitley Road Detention Centre. Is the Government saying that the guards/officers are fully responsible for failings beyond them? Is this fair to them? Or is the Government convinced, after the COI&#039;s elaborate investigation, that nothing else has failed besides the carelessness of those few guards &amp; officers at the centre? How would the immediate families of these officers and guards feel? How would you feel, if you are a National Serviceman on duty, and in the thick of all this, hypothetically speaking?

It&#039;s more than a question of integrity or responsibility. What I see here is a culture among leaders that&#039;s adverse to accepting and learning from failures. It&#039;s one that seems to promote disclaiming of responsibility, or worse, pinning it down unfairly on those powerless to defend themselves. Are we so used to being number one in this &amp; that ranking, that when it comes to a failure, we have to dismiss/disguise/dilute/dissociate with it till it doesn&#039;t matter anymore?

Point to ponder:
If Mas Selamat had been caught within hours or days of the escape, this whole saga would probably have been turned into propaganda trumpeting the effectiveness of our security forces. Is this a blessing in disguise, that a limping, pudgy, middle-aged alleged terrorist named Mas Selamat managed to turn the spotlight on our supposedly clean and efficient system, as well as the character of our ministers and leaders, and how they really perform under pressure?</description>

		<description>Alan Wong,
&quot;LKY, What happened to you, allowing your son to destroy the legacy that you have been building all these years ie. Accountability!&quot;

We should pity the senile oldman whose decades of hardwork and propaganda is destroyed by his inept son. The internet already exposed the regime of their deed and history, what rubbish do they still want to feed the public ?

Yes, we should leave this oldman alone because he himself has enough problem trying to explain what &#039;complacency&#039; is all about.</description>

		<description>Its very very sad - Singaporeans still dont square up to the reality that they are a very oppressed and trodden lot of a kind ,on this planet. One can see, even in some 3rd world countries (lets not debate on their material achievements, politics etc), they have high priority accorded to human rights, human values. What do we have here - as barren as a desert, right from the very top.</description>
