However, I realised that whatever you have posted here has already been posted many times in the other entries of this blog. Why is there a need to copy and paste again and again and again?<BR/><BR/>Also, it seems that you are more interested in your own rants than a fruitful discussion on the relevant topics which has been posted, which obviously does not help constructive discussions. It doesn't matter if I'm writing on "kindergarten classes", and you'll still be posting on emigration and NEP.<BR/><BR/>Hence I think, at this point, to prevent further such abuse, I've made the decision that if the comment has been posted anywhere else on this blog earlier already, I will delete any subsequent copy and paste postings, starting from this post.<BR/><BR/>We'd appreciate it if you do not abuse this blog any further.<BR/><BR/>Are you the same person by the way?<BR/><BR/>Tony PGolf Afflictedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16363347839543221577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1134519310122608512005-12-14T08:15:00.000+08:002005-12-14T08:15:00.000+08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1134518931345581722005-12-14T08:08:00.000+08:002005-12-14T08:08:00.000+08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1134518669114691322005-12-14T08:04:00.000+08:002005-12-14T08:04:00.000+08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1134518278992617282005-12-14T07:57:00.000+08:002005-12-14T07:57:00.000+08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1134518088862904262005-12-14T07:54:00.000+08:002005-12-14T07:54:00.000+08:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12123329.post-1134486721489200722005-12-13T23:12:00.000+08:002005-12-13T23:12:00.000+08:00Singapore has shown us that if the govment people ...Singapore has shown us that if the govment people plan properly and harness all the human talents and resources, a small country without much natural resources can be better than a big country with lots of natural resources.<BR/><BR/>We all started equal, MR1 = S$1, but see what happens now.

To understand their success, we have to look at the leaders qualities and mindset.<BR/><BR/>The Singaporeans are so hell-bent on tapping the best talents and their single-minded quest already started in the early years of LKY laying the foundations to effectively benefit from technology transfer during the industrialisation days of the 70's, '80s and '90s. The latest example of this foresight is the creation of the Biopolis, the centre of all bio-related technologies. They started promoting their bio-tech courses at polytechnic and university level 10 years ago and now have a pool of graduates who are now engineers, research assistants and employees at the centre, learning and gaining from the guidance of the top scientists and researchers brought in by the government.<BR/><BR/>Now, they have gained a firm footing in biotechnology, stem cell research, biomedicine placing themselves on par with countries like the US. They have even moved on to be able to spend huge amounts of money on developing the arts, hiving off mass-production, mid-level technology activities to lesser economies. <BR/><BR/>BG Lee said this during his National Day speech: "that at one time Singapore were cheaper than the first world nations and more technologically advanced than the third world economies. Now the technologically advanced countries can find ways to manufacture cheaply while the cheaper countries are more technologically advanced, eroding their advantage. If we do not move on we will be trapped!"<BR/><BR/>And I remember one of LKY's speeches some time ago about the government being proactive:"that the current Singapore government is pro-actively strategizing to meet the challenges they expect to face in 5-10 years time. The current challenges were thought of and plans were put in place to overcome them, 5-10 years ago."<BR/><BR/>Another edge the Singaporeans have is that they are willing to put their money where their mouth is. Spending on education is a large part of their annual budget. They already had their computer labs in the elite schools long before we were TRUMPETING about our "smart schools". Now their computer infrastructure has filtered into their neighbourhood schools while ours are still floundering with bad planning, bad-implementation and even with buildings on the verge of collapse.<BR/><BR/>Can we ever catch up with them? The political cost is too high.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
