		<description>&lt;b&gt;Once We Were Eagles&lt;/b&gt;


Once there was a place where eagles soared and flew free. They went wherever they wanted to. They ate whatever they wanted to. They flew and soared as high as they wanted to. 

One day, a man dressed in white (MIW) came along and spoke to the eagles:

 He said:
&quot;&lt;i&gt;Oh eagles, why do you fly here and there? There is another world out there and if we work together we can conquer it and call it our home. Imagine the vast space you could fly in and the huge varieties of food you can eat to your hearts content. Come down and listen to me. I will show you the way to paradise on earth&lt;/i&gt;&quot;.

And so the eagles, being naïve more than anything else, believed the MIW because they had never heard any man speak so sweetly before. 

That day, the eagles flew down from the sky to listen to the MIW.

Soon, they were listening to his stories. To his promises of a paradise beyond imagination. A paradise where one could only dream of. 

While the MIW continued talking with his sweet and tender words, the gathering of eagles did not realised that the henchmen of the MIW were closing the surrounding areas where they stood to listen.

Day after day, the MIW told his stories and as the days went by, he managed to convince the eagles that they are in actual fact, peacocks. That they were they most beautiful creatures alive on the face of the earth. 

The eagles eventually came to believe that they were peacocks and the more they believed, the more proud they became.

Other birds that flew by and noticed how proud these &#039;peacocks&#039; were, tried to tell them that they are eagles but the &#039;peacocks&#039; would have none of such nonsense. They believed they are peacocks and no one could convince them otherwise.

Many years passed and the older generation of eagles had since passed on. The new generation continue to believe they are the prettiest peacocks on the face of the earth. The theological indoctrination of the MIW became the law that governs every aspects of their lives. 

And so the story goes. The ending to the story has yet to be written. Will it be a happy ending? Will it be a sad and tragic ending? 

Does it matter if we continue speculating? Do you get it? 

The ending is to be written by you and me. We have forgotten that we could fly. We have the freedom to fly, to soar, to land, to seek our own destiny. Why have we become so afraid to fly? 

Because we still think we are peacocks.

You believe?</description>

		<description>I wonder, why they haven&#039;t been fair to redistribute amounts to Hougang and Potong Pasir.
Oh wait, &#039;fairness&#039; comes with a twist here in SG.</description>

		<description>I think the gahmen is always saying that they are still looking for more good people to join them. Maybe there aren&#039;t many good people in the team. That explains the lapses and poor decision-making now and then. Let&#039;s be patient.</description>

		<description>maybe we should first ask who are these people who are responsible for the TC investment strategy. How qualified are they?</description>

		<description>Sack those who make the investments (not the MPs) but those who suggest it. these group of people must have been well buttered by the bankers or the investment agents into buying these products. Fine wine and dine and maybe corruption. there should investigation into this issue and the basis behind the investment in unsecured bonds or securities. 

Remember a news few weeks back where a former treasurer embezzled money from the branch. these are the people that needs to be investigated.  Surely for the bonds issue, sure got some things that was not declared or reveal.</description>

		<description>The PAP like to sit on their moral high horses. Imagine if it was Potong Pasir or even Hougang TC that screwed up in their investments - the PAP would go after them hammer and tongs.

You will see Wong Kan Seng&#039;s face peeking out at you in the Dire Straits Times lambasting Chiam See Tong and/or Low Thia Khiang. You will see big schlong Lee coming out and making his sagacious comments. You will hear about Goh Chok Tong on TV exhorting the public to go on a witch-hunt for these buggers who screwed up their town council accounts.

Now that the boot&#039;s on the other foot, you can be sure, the PAP and its happy lapdogs i.e. the state media, will just sweep everything under the rug and pretend nothing happened.

Maybe we should organise a HLP excursion where effigies of screwed PAP leaders are burnt. I think it&#039;s allowed under the law, and see whether the Dire Straits Times will pick up on that story.</description>

		<description>To post #42)

Why do we not see pot shots being taken at the Opp TCs by the &#039;nuts&#039; here? There must be a reason right?

Does our Opp TCs know something about running a town council that our dear elites in govt don&#039;t? If it is that difficult then why have they not lost $12m like our dear elites have?</description>

		<description>V S RAAJ,

How about contributing your money towards making up for those losses suffered by the various town councils? You&#039;ll be honoured for sure, by PAP only.

The issue here is one of accountability. Only unthinking Singaporeans couldn&#039;t be bothered by these losses, unless, of course, you&#039;re in PAP!  

By the way, this is a sombre reflection on the whole system of PAP governance.</description>

		<description>I am deeply shocked on the pot shots taken sp freely at town councils by &#039;nuts&#039; who know nothing about running a town council nor fund management nor its modus operandi......
Easy said than done!!! What about taking shots at private investors now running to the govt. for help! This min-bonds saga and structured investments are good, great investment for all, individuals, corporate and for the matter for town councils who have the utmost responsibility to &#039;grow&#039; funds for many of the projects undertaken yearly.
The &#039;Apples&quot; jus gone bad or rotten amongst many in the basket...nobody can be blamed but requires immediate remedy to save other &#039;apples&#039;...an hard earmed experience I should say.... I am sure these town councils have great &#039;sinking&#039; funds and bouncing back is of no issue at all!!!!
STOP BICKERING....this site has become famous for that for almost, sorry. for everything!!!</description>

		<description>As our elite said, the two party system will not work. They have already declared that they will have to think of how to fix them. With too many opposition around it becomes a very difficult task. We might have to have another operation cold storage. Also accountability and transparency becomes a reality instead of of such declaring &quot;tale our word for it&quot; when every action is questioned and scrutinised.  Anyway what surprises me people are more concerned about the investments but do not seem to mind that all of us have been grossly overcharged and have been made to thank for they &quot;rebates&quot;. Ain&#039;t we a bunch of dumb-asses. And we still believe all that they say.</description>

		<description>To all my fellow Singaporeans who often remarked in times of trouble; 
&quot;What to do?&quot;, &quot;There is nothing we can do&quot;, &quot;How to change things around?&quot;, &quot;Who else can we depend on?&quot;, &quot;Let&#039;s resign to ourselves&quot; etc, etc, etc..........I have this to say.

We all make mistakes and this time round we made the BIGGEST mistake for believing in the PAPgovt and their promises which keep falling by the wayside, one by one, yet dare not look us in the eye and acknowledge their mistake.

People make mistakes. Honest people own up to the mistakes they made. Dishonest people not only tries to hide their mistakes but scold others and blame them for the mistakes.

We therefore have to acknowledge our mistake - for voting this PAP govt. We therefore have to own up to our mistake and do the right thing. We should not blame anyone else. We must do the right thing the next time the opportunity comes by. Kick these people out for good.</description>

<p>We all make mistakes and this time round we made the BIGGEST mistake for believing in the PAPgovt and their promises which keep falling by the wayside, one by one, yet dare not look us in the eye and acknowledge their mistake.</p>
<p>People make mistakes. Honest people own up to the mistakes they made. Dishonest people not only tries to hide their mistakes but scold others and blame them for the mistakes.</p>
<p>We therefore have to acknowledge our mistake &#8211; for voting this PAP govt. We therefore have to own up to our mistake and do the right thing. We should not blame anyone else. We must do the right thing the next time the opportunity comes by. Kick these people out for good.</p>

		<description>34) Gilbert Goh Keow Wah on November 19th, 2008 10.03 am
was shocked when PM himself can reiterate that he prefers a one-party monopoly govt. It goes to show that he wants absolute power for his party and even though this may not be healthy for Singapore he will not care a hoot about it. It is for his party first, country second. I almost cry when I read that and it goes to show that absolute power may eventually ruin a country. We are facing that time in history now.

Gilby, it is not surprising nor shocking to know what these MIW and their polical movements and strategies, all these are well planned and organized years ago. The reason behind this last minute decision 1party thingy have something to do with the series of what&#039;ve been happening on the ground level that is already badly affecting their image, fearing that they are starting lose ground, they are now turning to forced self election, so no matter what you people protest, you have no other choice but to obey me now, get it?</description>

		<description>Our leaders are paid CEO level of salary right? correct me if wrong.
The reasons for this was mentioned before by the politicians.

CEO who make decisions to invest also have good and valid reasons.
But when CEOs investment goes bad, they can be sacked EVEN when the reasons for investment is good.

So, get my point?

hallooooo???  any body home ?????   I also wan leh. Shiok shiok ah.</description>
