Mdfaz 2nd Gear September 8, 2011 Share September 8, 2011 Except that noone in their right mind would be willing to die for a mere company. Noone in their right mind would be willing to sacrifice the life of their firstborn son for a mere company. This is where *you* (and the MIW) have got it completely wrong. If Singapore continues to be run with the only consideration being the financial "bottom line", then we're doomed as a Nation. Why should anyone pledge their very lives to a corporate entity? You deride the views of others as being based in "Dreamland", yet you seem to forget that Nations are built on intangible shared *principles*, not just hard-headed logic. It's no good to just pay lip service to those ideals, either - the gahmen has to be seen to embody them, and they've been failing at this of late (which is a major reason for the dwindling of their popular support). *LIKE* Well-said! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gukubird Neutral Newbie September 9, 2011 Share September 9, 2011 FT come n go, Sg ppl leaving, this place become a transit terminal. This "company" expend too fast, risk of closing down is very high. Internal staff can't be promoted (no job), hire FT. Is Sg ppl CMI? I think its true, even some of our minister are from across the causeway. Sg ppl really CMI, think its the gene issue Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
