Why Am I Feeling This Way?

Re: Why Am I Feeling This Way?

Bottomline is - eventually all the privileged, domestic or foreign, will enjoy any economic growth due to the concentration of wealth, and the middle class will be left to fight for survival. The mirror is in the car ownership structure. Whether you are a Singaporean or a foreigner, the recognition is not with the nationality. It is dependent of which cohort you belongs to.

And hence, I am feeling like Bruce Lee, cause I see the day where our country clubs/restaurants/entertainment centres will be dominating by foreigners.......

Re: Why Am I Feeling This Way?

what i feel,

a simple analogy, your own son misbehave in your house, you can choose to punish him heavily. However, if a boy comes to your house and misbehaves, you cannot punish him like how you would punish your own son. No matter what, the boy is not your son, whatever you want to do to him you need to answer to his parents.

For discussion purposes since u put it that way... I will use e exact same analogy as above - I go to your house and make a freaking mess of everything... u cannot do nothing because u have to answer to my parents yes? If yes, then please invite me to your house... I think in reality, u will probably throw me out of the house or give me push/punch, no?

Realistically, I would not punish e boy like I do to my own but I will still scold or give a slap on his hand as a warning... then I will answer to his parents on why I do so, if his parents are 'upright' and respect other's property (e.g. house), they would say thanks for disciplinary action kid in their absence.

My point here is simple: In terms of Nations/Countries, we do not bring some similar but out-of-syn examples to the table :fineprin:

Very good read, Bro Kenntona, and you've so eloquently summed up everything that's wrong with the "Foreign Talent" policy.

Sigh. Truth be told, I agree with MW - even if I think the present government's doing a crap job, I'm just NOT confident that the opposition is capable of doing any better... I think I'll just go hang myself at the voting booth in 2016...

i think we have to look at all things in moderation, if one step into another's territory and bring extreme disruption to other's territory, the owner will not only forget who are the guest parents, i think the owner will also forget who are his own parents. Of cos the severity of the guest action must be observed.

If only all "parents" are upright, the world will be so peaceful...

My example might not be totally in sync, but the message i am trying to get across is simple and i believe rather layman..

How come a talented writer like Kenn was not quoted in Todayonline? He should be top of that board.

This forum really got 'crouching tigers, hidden dragons'. All the Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi, Xu Zhu all here. Damn, still water runs deep.

Kenn has many talents. Lock picking, painting, pole dancing.

Writing is but a small sample of the spread on offer......

In Plato's model, our government think that they are an aristocracy, but in truth they are more of a timocracy.

The laymen perceived it as a oligarchy.

WP wanna use democracy to attack it, hence painting it as a tyranny. But democracy is slavery on a dichotomous scale to tyranny.
