Losing Our Footing


如果有一天,我们失去了地理位置的优势,我们是否能继续的繁荣与稳定?

中国为了自己的战略利益,一直会往外开发以及控制运输航道,这将使我们的水道受到严重威胁,我们的港口受到严重的威胁并将失去了优质的地理位置。

我们必须识时务,认清目前的形势,保障我们自己的未来利益。

我个人认为我们必须采取以下措施:

从国会选举制度开始,必须更改现有的选举制度,废除集选区,管委和非选区议员制,再以各政党得票率来分配席位以确保国会有不同政党轮替,以及多元化的政治理念参与拟定国家政策,

, 再还没有强化国民教育和认同感,国家与社会为先的意识之前,暂时停止接纳新公民,

, 历史虽然不可忽略,但是我们已经跟共产国家有着密切政治,文化,经济与军事交往,因此必须去除矛盾思想,行为和策略。政要要有人性,多注意他国领袖的感受,因此没有必要再高调的提倡反共产主义

, 开始逐步减少对美国的依赖,身为小国应该保持中立,

五, 设立中华文化研究中心,

六, 恢复南大校名,恢复以华语为主流,并以华语教科目以及考试,来拉近跟中国的关系

, 加强跟马来西亚的经济合作,共创经济圈,

, 设立马来文化与语言研究中心,以拉近跟马来西亚的关系

, 让新马两国公民自由出入境,废除两国公民的工作准证,房屋税,入境税等等,

, 全面改革我们的教育制度,注重自由创意,独立思考能力,公民道德等等

 
 
 
What if one day, we lose the advantage of this geographical location, would we still be able to continue this prosperity and stability?

We are not only faced with the strategic interests of China because if the development and control of transport routes, so that our waterways are seriously threatened and we might lose our quality geographical location.

Who is our country going to depend on for survival in future?

Singapore is a country with no natural resources. We are able to have today's achievements due to our geographical location, the previous fine planning, strict management of the society, economy and autonomous education. As such, the Government could, through education, economic needs and self-discpline, penetrate the sub-consciousness of the citizens to create a high-quality and superior people, because it's the only way the ruling party may efficiently develop our country's economic direction in accordance to the international situation to enable us to have today's prosperity and social stability.

If one day, we lose the advantage of this geographical location, and the ruling party can not create a national model for its own benefit, would we still be able to continue this prosperity and stability?

What worries me about the commnity today is this - because the ruling party has opened the doors of Singapore widely, attracting in a lot of foreign population, so that the citizens of our community doping different nationalities of the world, different cultures and social attitudes.Some of them were not even educated in Singapore during their childhood, hence have not been instilled with the self-discipline of our ruling party's educational system; this is also to say that the ruling party would have great difficulty controlling the thinking of these new citizens to reach the desired effect of our economy and disciplinary system.  On top of that, advancement in communications technology has seemed compress the space in this world, our autonomous educational system has been thoroughly defeated by influence of external parties via the Internet.  The ruling party is not able to monitor all the information on the Internet nor ban it, so now even some of our own young and middle-aged citizens have their own political ideology, outgrowing the economic and disciplinary subconsciousness implanted into them since young by the ruling party to form their own set of opinions and ideas that do not waver. This forms two of today's problems faced by the community.

These two social problems have caused the ruling party to feel the need to attach great importance to their own interests and votes. Therefore they must always take into account the public interest and public sentiment in response to certain policies that may invoke dissatisfaction.

As the ruling party can no longer maintain a tough stance as before, or to implement some policies that may be undesirable, It makes it more difficult to meet the challenges of the flexible international situation. In this way, our country is not able to get rid of the risk of facing opposition in its democratic, freedom and economic development.

This also results in the ruling party not being able to be like before - formulating a fine and long-term development policy and planning education and training budget

It is necessary to have talents to achieve national economic development goals, so we are not only faced with the strategic interests of China because if the development and control of transport routes, so that our waterways are seriously threatened and we might lose our quality geographical location. Even our only resouces - Human Capital, due to network technology innovation, change of thinking, people are demanding for more freedom and democracy, following the degradation of social consciousness, we may ultimately have to leave our home territory in order to have a better life.

We must understand the times, and understand the current situation, to protect the interests of our own future; Personally, I think we need to take the following measures:

Let us first start with the electoral system. The existing electoral system must be changed with the abolition of GRCs, management committees and members of non-constituency system, and then to vote for political parties to allocate seats in Parliament to ensure that there are different political parties in power, and political pluralism concepts involved in the formulation of national policy;

Secondly, before we are able to strengthen the national education and identity of the state and society, we should suspend the admission of new citizens;

Thirdly, although history cannot be neglected, we already have close ties with communist countries in political, cultural, economic and military exchanges, it is necessary to remove the contradictions of thoughts, behaviour and strategy. Politicians need to have humanity, showing concern towards the feelings of his country's leaders, so there is no need to advocate anti-communism;

Fourth, begin to gradually reduce dependency on the United States, as a small country we should remain neutral;

Fifth, the establishment of the Chinese Culture Research Centre; to enhance the relationship with China;

Sixth, to restore the reputation of the Great South, a return to using Chinese language as the mainstream, and teach courses and exams in Mandarin;

Seventh, to strengthen economic cooperation with Malaysia, to create economic cycle;

Eighth,  to set up the Malay culture and language research centre; to enhance the relationship with Malaysia;

Ninth, establish Singapore-Malaysia bilateral civil liberties, immigration, the abolition of the citizens of the two countries work permit, housing tax, entry tax, etc.,

Lastly, a comprehensive reform of our education system, focusing on freedom of creativity, independent thinking, civic morality, national philosophy and psychological qualities etc.

Taxes for Medical Treatment

看看邻国国家比我们大,人口比我们多,在医药设备,私人诊所与医疗中心上都能免消费税,而我们这里营业额超过一百万不管是企业或是医院都一律征收消费税。

为什么我们拥有先进的电脑设备,精锐的公务员,却不能做到区分那些物品或是服务不必收消费税呢?

为什么要每年再发回消费税券呢?

而消费税券的数额是否能真正的帮助低收入家庭抵消我们日常生活开销的费用呢?
...
在我看来,发消费税券是一种政治手段,执政党为了笼络人心施展的一种小恩小惠的手段。

对于样样都征收消费税,的政府会是一个心系于民,还是心系于钞票的政府呢?



Seeing as neighbouring countries are bigger than us with larger population, yet they are able to do away with service tax for their medical facilities, medical centres and private clinics. Over here, all enterprises earning more than one million in terms of turnover would impose GST (goods and service tax), including hospitals.

Why is it that we are able to acquire the most advanced technology and brilliant public servants, yet unable to do away with charging taxes for goods and services?

Why is there a need to give out GST vouchers every year?

Is the amount for the GST vouchers really able to help the low-income families and reduce their daily expenditure?

In my view, the GST vouchers are merely political means deployed by the party in power to buy the hearts and win the favours of the people.

A government that imposes taxes for all goods and services - are they a government with a heart for the people, or are they merely concerned with monetary returns?



 

Free Education for Foreigners versus Fake Certifications

Every year, we groom a large quantity of fresh university graduates but are unable to guarantee that they would be able to secure a job, that their rice bowls won't be snatched away by foreign talents. No wonder some Minister began to sing a different tune recently, suggesting that academic qualifications are not important, especially not when faced with fierce competition against foreign talents.

The foreign talents being imported into Singapore should be truly specialised i...n niche fields for roles that our local people have not been able to fill. However, the irony is that many of the jobs have been given to fake talents with their forged certificates, jobs that our local Singaporean graduates are required to possess good qualifications in order to vie for. Such a shame, about the trust we have given only in exchange for unemployability here.

我们每年培训大量的大专生却无法保证他们的工作就业机会不被外国人抢去,难怪最近一些部长开始唱拥不拥有大专文凭并不重要,如今落到要找一份工作都要面对国内外人才强烈的竞争。

政府引进外人人才填补空缺职场需求我们暂且不争。但是不机激的清除那些持有假文凭跟国人争工作的假人才,又要求国人要拥有大专文凭才能被入取的条件有愧对民众的委托和失职之嫌。

Using our resources to provide scholarships for overseas students to come to Singapore to further their studies in lieu of using the funds to offset operating costs so that our local students can enjoy subsidies for quality tertiary education?
 
Doesn't the government know that politicians should take care of their own country's children first before wanting to help other children?

If we are not even able to provide the best environment and technology to groom and train our own country's children, yet we choose to nurture other children - wouldn't this create a situation where our own children are at the losing end when faced with competition from foreigners in future?
If this basic concept is not even met, how are they able to govern their own home country well? How can we entrust our children's future into their hands?



《大学学费涨0 .06 到8%》
用我们的资金提供奖学金给外国学生来新加坡深造,却不舍提供资金来抵消营运成本为国民的孩子提供低学费高标准的大专教育?

难道政府不知道从政者首先要照顾好自己"家里"孩子,才来想这么帮助别人的孩子吗?

如果无法提供给自己"家里"的孩子最佳的培训环境和技术,却去栽培别人的孩子岂不是要让我们的孩子将来面对外来人的竞争时处在吃亏的情势。

这基本概念都没有,怎么能把"家里"治理的好呢?我们有怎么能放心把我们的孩子的前途委托于他们呢?


 

What goes up doesnt come down

我国创造世界第一的方式无他国政府能比,石油价跌我们油费却起。

公共交通服务水平还有待改善,收费却还是照样的起。

民众认为不合理,但常常听到官方语是:"涨价总是很合理或是付得起"。


Our country has created the world's first style of governance that no other country could ever match up to: decrease in oil prices yet our petrol costs have soared. Our public transport system leaves much to be desired, yet the fares continue to increase. Whenever the citizens point out these unreasonable measures, they always hear the same old lines from the authorities, claiming that "the increase in price is reasonable or affordable".
