Don't admire it from a distance. Move right back and experience it at close range. Put words into action, not just cyper-warring as you always say. Take up the $1,800 pm cleaner's job and live on $1,000 pm, enough to buy a 2-rm flat. The rest donate to charity.

You're judging a nation based on the quality of life of the losers of society.... those who have run the race and can't handle the pace. While it may come across as noble and compassionate, it isn't an accurate gauge of how well a country is being managed.

My yardstick is to look at the opportunities a country provides for everyone and using this measure, Singapore is up there with the best.

Had I grown up in any other country, there would have been no way in hell I could have retired after only 20 years of work. I'm not brilliant. My parents were poor. There was no electricity in my home during my primary school days. However, thanks to the PAP, I overcame the odds by making use of the opportunities that the PAP created.
