This is a fact, not racism. But I do agree with you that dictatorships and totalitarian states restrict passports and travel of their citizens which is not the case in Singapore. It is true that if Singaporeans want to leave they have ample opportunity. If they stay as do the vast majority, they accept their lives as it is. I have over the years begun to change my views about Singapore since living in USA and especially practicing immigration law which exposes me to the politics of a wide variety of countries sin the world. I have to some extent have a slightly less exalted opinion of even USA. The same thing happens here as in Singapore. For example Fox news and even CNN usually tilt the news and even sometimes outright lies to buttress the ruling class. the Straits Times does that in Singapore. Not much different. At the end I realize people around the world want peace, safety and bread and butter. You cannot create a revolution for demanding freedom of speech. Therefore I don't see Singapore becoming a carbon copy of the USA and time soon. In fact there is no reason for them to be. There is one place where life is perfect. That is Heaven. But until then we have to make do with what we have, as long as it is not as bad as SomaliaGopalan Nairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399145588654603667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-63387431565861492352019-03-16T17:59:36.058-07:002019-03-16T17:59:36.058-07:00You say, "This importation of Communist Chine...You say, "This importation of Communist Chinese to replace English educated Singaporeans is obviously bad. They don't speak English and unable to behave the way acceptable in modern civilized society. You have heard of Chinese women openly defecating in public, spitting and other disgusting behavior. It will take years for them to become what a modern city like Singapore requires let alone any skill. It is a great loss to Singapore which requires the best-skilled workforce to compete globally."<br /><br />Wow, that is an amazing amount of racism for someone who seems to care about human rights and dignity.<br /><br />Also, you say, "This may be good for the dictatorship temporarily but the size of the island and qualities of the population pose a long term threat to this dictatorship. It can be simply put in one sentence. Education, especially an English education works against dictatorships. The more people are educated, the more they travel overseas to the West, the more they begin to find life in dictatorships intolerable. If you have an education and a capacity to think for yourself, you are able to earn a living anywhere in the world, and need not submit to this "you listen to me or else" tiny one party police state. And what makes it easier for people to leave is the worldwide acceptability of the island's passport. You can travel to almost any country visa free."<br /><br />Governments that aspire to be dictatorships don't educate their people, and don't make it easier for their citizens to travel elsewhere by making their passports widely acceptable for travel.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-74012870801240782722018-11-25T12:43:27.943-08:002018-11-25T12:43:27.943-08:00Singapore thinks that they can just pay and pay fo...Singapore thinks that they can just pay and pay for other people's names and let them do as they please and Singapore will rise to the top with them.

What is interesting about this is that they are now being sued for millions by two companies based in Singapore with the same name. It appears that once again Singapore has blown millions of dollars just for the privilege of being swindled by their white masters. Even a teenage kid playing with bitcoins could have told to just buy some bitcoins and wait for the price to go up. Instead, they believed every word coming from the American shysters. They could not even raise the money in Silicon Valley and had to go to Singapore to find suckers.Peter Stiffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081742307252789733.post-37386935077114311372018-10-31T21:39:57.730-07:002018-10-31T21:39:57.730-07:00Singapore is like a person who discovers that she ...Singapore is like a person who discovers that she can make easy money by being a prostitute. She then laughs at and looks down upon people who work for a living. She doesn't realize that she is a freaking prostitute. <br /><br />Singapore is like a person with a stomach full of parasites. He is proud of this and boasts that once he reaches critical mass, he will have a self-sustaining system where the parasites that die provide him with free food for which he doesn't need to work. Everyone just rolls their eyes and wait for his stomach to split open and the parasites come flowing out. <br /><br />Today, Singapore is a paradise for those who are mentally colonized. They take pride in this system because they have a job that pays and their property value keeps going up. <br /><br />It is quite common in Singapore to see a seventy year old caucasian man who did not receive retirement benefits in his own company/country to be brought to Singapore just so they can take that person to lunch and giggle and admire at his every word for $500K/year or more. <br /><br />Singapore despises people who actually have merit, work, produce and built the infrastructure for them. They are proud to dump those people and insult them. The prostitute analogy is quite fitting. Loh Bak Kiongnoreply@blogger.com
