I agree with you Dickson and Alky! But you cannot promote social entrepreneurship without teaching people how to be entrepreneurs first. That obviously didn’t cross their mind.

The sterile atmosphere and total lack of commercial life in the HDB estates is ridiculous.. its about as far away from a typical Asian urban landscape as you can get. Just look at Taipei or Hong Kong.

Everytime we get a pasar malam, things get a lot more convival and relaxed… I think its a hidden goal for the bureaucrats to sterilise Singapore and minimise any form of “messiness”.

Yes Alky, you are right. They shoulda known that there are so many other ways to develop land! May be someone thought embalming humans centrally can make more money!! Thanks Amused. :)

Hi kelly,

The reason why they want to turn sin ming into funeral hub is becos the land lavender sits on now can be worth a lot more if they are able to rezone it to attract the developers. Its always about the money they can make for themselves here in singapore, not about the people.

I must say this is one of the stupidest rule ever to assist. The pushcart auntie selling newspaper in my neighbourhood is doing well and we’re in a HDB estate!!!

I am reminded of the proposal to turn Sin Ming estate into a funeral hub when we are NOT expecting an epidemic of deaths. Please MR. GOVERNORS, you need to re-think who you hire for such ideas and stop pissing people off.

PAPer sound more like a Toilet PAPer stained with shit that should be flushed down the toilet bowl just like majority of the PAPpies. Be Liquid PAPer as it is more useful than toilet PAPer.
In other words, PAPpies should make themselves useful and not be stained with shit of the emperor. Even pragmatism must have a limit.

PAPer, you are so clever ! ……….to talk only !

How can you say Mr. Leong has no guts ? He is visible to the public and your masters. Why don’t you be visible like Mr. Leong ?

PAPer, do you recall any PAP members rebut what Mr. Leong has been saying ?
Silence means they agree with Mr. Leong ! and he has been speaking out for many citizens. What about the PAP MPs ? Impotent and castrated ! lol
The smart ones don’t join the PAP to be castrated and you will have the chance to see them in 3 years time.

We should be more flexible and realistic in all our dealings.

Harrison,
Yes, I support you – as with all lookalikes of Mandela, Gandhi or wannabes, we engaged in constructive debates, no personal attacks on paper at least, even tho we are not in the bull-fighting political arena.
Cheers.

PAPer,

Lets discuss related matters. What’s your view on Mr Leong’s article here, if any? We would love to have PAP’s representative to rebut our opinions here, uncensored and undistorted.

By the way, thanks for your compliments and encouragement. Come next election, you will have the answer for your challenge here.

Waiting…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

To paper:
You have overstep boudaries by making personal attacks on Mr Leong. Since you critised Mr Leong, what have you yourself got to show – you have plenty of guts or are you also merely a yes-piece-of-paper?

I am no yes-man nor no-man. I listen to both opinions of both sides of the coin for your information.

TOC is taking a break until Sunday and it seems that this forum’s F-22s are in their hangers as well. I’m just an A-4, I don’t think I can handle this with finesse.
Some MiG-21s are just so lucky.

Mr Leong, you so smart, why don’t you stand for election?
As usual, you don’t have the guts, only talk, talk, talk, no actions.
The PAP, they act, that’s the difference between them and you armchair critics (bunch of impotent smart alecks).

Look no further, the true blue entrepreneur is LKY. Show me anyone who can turn a country into an exclusive business.
Sim Wong Hoo, Poh Piah King and whoever you care to name, are just renting space from the old man to do their little business. LOL

Any wonder that so far for donkey years if my memory never fails me (anyone can help here??), only 1 or perhaps 2 true blue entrepreneur this little dot has produced – Sim Wong Hoo, and perhaps our Poh Piah King of TYJ.

With the inflation problem, I would think that having more entreprenuers could help lower prices in areas like food . eg. more hawkers means more competition and help maintain the lower price longer.
