But we have done v well as a class of 30 under our current govt.
Its not just not about controlling the class. To control is easy. To make this class achieved so much and get respect from the entire school is another level.
As a small country of local population of 3.5 million and farthest points at only 43km, with no oil, no timber, no agriculture, no water, no gas, no gold, no minerals, no nothing at all, our GDP US$60,000 is 7th in the world, even surpass US and UK GDP. US GDP is only at US$43,000.
We are a very small class, but our reserve is at US$300 billion. Which other country can match this? some may have more, but given their big size and natural resources, its expected of them to have more.
But a small class of 30 with such success, its extraordinary.
In the past, some foreign leaders mentioned that SG is like a small city or province in a big country, no big deal. Small dot on the map.
I say to them "Show me a small city or province with similiar level of success as SG, then come and talk abt putting SG down"
In the analogy of using a class of 30 and the entire school, this class of 30 has achieved the best O level results in every subject for most students, in the entire school.
Every country has income inequality issues, the only thing is how far the distance between the poor and rich.
Even in Finland where it has the highest GDP has income inequality problems.
In SG, 70-80% are middle income. Bottom 10% and top 10% are the low income and the ultra rich. Most of us own homes (some may argued that HDB are not owned by us) and decent jobs.
We don't have serious issue abt income inequality. We don't have homeless dudes like in other countries. And no drug and gun issues as well.
I think you are arguing out of point to what I was driving at fundamentally which was toward another point.
I like to mention the point that he has pointed out his point without pointing to your point pointedly as he tries to avoid the various points which he can point but fail to point but resort to point diversion from point to point thereby totally miss the point.

5 best and worst speakers at the rallies.
I live in Holland-Bukit Timah. Its fun to see 2 very extreme candidates on both lists running in my constituency. I thought the aggression towards CSJ was mindless and revolting. Certainly didn't looked like it will win votes from those sitting on the fence.
Today is cooling day, let's not argue over who is right or wrong temporarily.....
Politics is not about who is right or wrong.
It's about keeping heart pure and pockets light.
