Harlo ppl. Sorrie me miss me sundae issue.(trust me, i am not that sorry at all), think u can guess the reason to be my PS2 :) Cause nowadays, thats my life, my soul, my everything. I even wanted to take MC todae but i noe that i can blog using company time so here i am. *Evil grin*
Okie, abt the government, i noe that it is an interesting and common topic u find in forums, chats or wat not. Even ppl in other countries like to talk about the government here. Thing is, i dont really care.(and i think majority of the population here thinks the same. they just complain and crap, but dont really care at all) Why is this so? Ppl frm other countries, esp taiwan, says that the population here has no balls, dont dare to speak up for themselves. But see wat taiwan is getting themselves into?(they can even fight in the parliarment, sorry seng :P) The actual fact is the government here is good. They are responsible, approachable, intelligent and hold themselves well in public. And they lead transparently(though abit the translucent and with an iron fist) and stamps down real hard on corruption.
And to note, we are the best governed countries in asia. Public security, taxes, ammenities, standard of living(i noe this is one of the main complains here but hey, why complain when wat we have is HIGH???), fair treatment in all sort of aspects, not much racism(i noe it still exist to a certain extent but the situation here is alot than wat is in the US), one of the few countries in the world not in national debt, good education system, good system for the ungifted, ex convicts, disabled. Wat more can a country ask for? We can walk safely in the middle of the nite(if u are not a chio bu dressed up sparringly walking in a damn deserted road), everyone here owns a TV, mobile phone, at least been to a restuarant once, and had at least gotten out of singapore once(i mean travelling). Y complain? At least we are not starving, living in atap huts(we got HDB) and doing nothing except lazing around. We can at least get by in singapore.
Wat i want to say is all the negative effects we see, such as rise in GST, high standard of living, high cost for flats and cars and cigarettes, damn strict censorship(but hey, arabs and islam states are worst off man), some stupid bans(i cant stand this, why ban Jap Porn imports? I want to support original for that! oh ya, they lifted the chewing gum ban le heeheehee, high time too). So let me explain why.
High GST is actually good. Y? U see, if they want to raise taxes, they can just raise the income tax or the or the import/export taxes. By raising income tax, everybody will feel it(not that we get much welfare(read: british/US type of welfare) here). Raising import/export taxes(And all other taxes that is not directly involved with the general population) will scare of investors from other countries and those investors will choose countries around us to work with, in turn, cutting down jobs here. But GST, hahaha, is a fair tax. How so? So lets say u got the ability to buy a big item, maybe a car, then u pay more GST. U can afford it mah. So if u r a damn "niao"(stingy) kind of guy, u dont have to pay much GST at all. In turn, it is much more "fair" than income tax. But then, they did strike a balance between the two, and the taxes for them are still quite reasonable. (They did a comparison on other countries, saying that the tax here are lower than those countries but then, wats their standard of living? But they might want to do that, onli thing is scared no one understand. Not everyone study econs(me never study) or thinks as much as me, or as intelligent as me, or as "yan dao" and me, shit i can go on and on but it is getting irrelevant.
Standard of living getting high. Hmmm. This is actually good. As a nation progresses, it is standard that the standard of living will increase. If not, all those economist can jump down from raffles hotel and other countries will hold us in high regards. It is a by product of progress. Think the term is called inflation. Slight inflation is actually good for the economy here, on the gobal scale(so ur yearly raise is just to counter this inflation, dont get too glad). Just to add, the economy here is actually a "classroom perfect" economy. I dont really noe why but not alot of countries can be as perfect as singapore and my friend(Xephyris Tahara D're) tells me so.
Think the high cost of cars and flats, all of us already noe the reason. If we dont control the cost of cars, we will be like manila le. Bad traffic, congestions and all the likes. And if the cost of flats are not controlled(and the registering process), well-to-do assholes will buy more than one flat, rent them out(certified profitable in the long run) or use them for illicit activities. Then poor ppl like me will have to rent from the rich assholes and inturn, rich gets richer, me gets poorer.(cause on the long run, new houses will earn some thousands for the owner, you noe that already.) Okie, cars. Why so ex? I myself loves cars and really hate it when their cost is so high. Not in my life can i ever drive one le(except if my wife is the daughter of some CEO of a big MNC). And the value of cars gets depriciate the moment u drive it out of the showroom. This is to turn off poor fucks(like me) not to get a car when u just strike 4D. U need to be able to support it first. But the transportation here in singapore is very good le. And i have calculated, u can call cab for every little travels(like just going to work, getting to the shopping mall nearest to ur place) and the cost is alot cheaper than driving ur own car. And u got ur own "ahmad" to boot.
Strict sensorship. See? Due to this thing, i can never set up my BONSS!(if u dont noe the meaning of BONSS, refer to the previous blog) Ppl here are just not open minded enuff. They still think that been conservative is good. WE MUST CHANGE THIS THINKING!!! Children now a days are not as well informed in sex as the children in other countries! This is bad cause in turn, they develope a sick curiosity on the opposite sex and girls will lose their virginity young! Just look at the abortion rate on girls below 18! There is at least once such news every few daes. Or girls getting f*cked by other guys, and the girls do it willingly, onli thing is, they underaged.(f*cked man, why these things never happen to me? WHY HAS THOU FORSAKEN ME?) Spare the porn and spoil the child, have u not heard of this saying????
Stupid bans. So far, none of it has affected me so i dont have much to add here. I am not an addict of chewing gums, nor a druggie so i dont mind bans. It keeps us safe and free of the side effects frm them too. BUT WHY BAN JAP PORN IMPORT?!?!?!?! WHY??? U want us to live on US/malaysia kind of crap?(or watever is out there on the net) U noe the reason why Singapore is rated "the lowest sex life among married couples in asia"? U are proud of that? U are still fumbling to noe the reason behind declining birth rates? Why girls get themselves f*cked so early in their lives??? THIS IS THE SOLE REASON!!!!! WHY BAN PORN!!!!! PORN IS GOOD!!!! FOOD FOR THE SOUL!!! "If u watch porn regularly, there is no need for religion" -Banedon.
Cigarettes hike. I quit smoking when i started aikido. Period. (oh and some of my friend quitted "quit smoking" and i would say, TOLD U SO!)
So much for the economy here and the complains we get here. Hope i answer ur complains.
About the SDC thingy, Janson(who ever u r, i dont noe u in rl, but if i do, do knock me in the head to rem u) u r absolutely rite. Their is nothing much to talk abt it too. Cause the non-degree holders hit the sack real early in their life. Learn from them. One vital hint is "beggers cant be choosers".
About the replies i get about my BONSS, i think i will kick start it in the near future. But no, it is a ONSS, not an orgy.(u know, one to one kind of thingy?) Free membership to those who read my blog? Hmmmm... Maybe not cause now i dont have a way of telling who read me blog, but tell u wat, free membership to whoever posted at least once in me comments :) Cheers!
And about the LEE dynasty, choosing own PM(i sill think "sian long"(with a name like tat, i "sian 1/2") looks ugly, his father looks better), dictatorship(i always associate dictator with dickheads, guess it rhyme somewat) kind of governing, and everything about how they rule, i will post next issue. I wasted 1 and a half hrs doing this le. My work getting piled up... So me go le. And btw, if u pick my article(or use some of the views and comments) for ur magazine, thesis, wat not, do give me some credit and most importantly, some dough. It will onli differ if "u" are a "chio bu". We can discuss the details together.

Seng here. Have always been a critic against censorship. Think creativity will be promoted by lifting all censorship. Situation is improving though, Ah-Rong, soon we will be able to buy porn legally in VCD shops. But I am not expecting exciting and spicy titles soon. Sigh... More could be done. Anyway, given that I have posted consistently here in your blog, do I get VIP card to your exclusive club? Lolx.
janson here. i just dropped by so i'm not sure who are you too. I really hope that they will lift the damn ban and censorship so that we could benefit more out of it. japanese porns should totally fresh and we shall totally enjoy it. whoohoo.....
i'm totally ons with ur idea abt BONNS. It rhymes, see? Keep it up and i'm looking forward with having a couple of one nites! hurray to BONNS!
People, please stop the BONNS membership thing for once cause i'm sure my dear will tell you once it is set up. heehee.... I got read okay! regularly! OOps.... ("p
why don't you all think of something else to discuss about rather than just circling round the membership thingy.
yea, i agree that singapore has a very good govt(at least better than the malaysian govt. sorry.... really dun like m'sia's governing style. alot of stupid rules like make ic must have father or chinese pple with 4 A's can't get into medicine course. maybe it's due to the fact that getting 4As are too common but they have no better ways to prove themselves. e.g in sg we have S papers and olympiads. no offence to m'sians =P)
no comments about the censorship thingy and banning(for obvious reasons) and about choosing our own pm, i think that even if we have a chance to chooose, what do you think most of singaporean would choose? thus that solves all the problem associating to choosing our own pm. Right? RiGhT?
With my limited brain cells and thus stupidity, please don't shoot me with too much criticisms, i can't take it. thanks in advance! will continue to comment for you dear. (please dun vomit readers, i luv him too much :D)
Cheers!
I am writing this entry with respect to the latest posted by Junrong's girl. Well you see, even if it is apparent that the PM will still be Ah-Long, with or without election, it is imperative that the voice of the opposition should be heard. I mean just because it is a "walk-over" shoo-in doesn't mean we should gladly assume that there is no opposition or that it is so puny that it is not worthy of attention.
Political progress is still in its infancy here in S'pore. If we really ignore voices of opposition, what we have is a premature baby. Lolx. Just my 2 cents' worth. Sorry I forgot your name, will try to bear that in mind next time. Adios.
Ah-Seng
Hmm.... it's true that we shouldn't suppress the opposition or even think that they are puny. But it's not elections in this case so i don't see why the opposition are concerned in this case. please correct me if i'm wrong. you may think that the citizens should have a say in choosing the pm but who are the other candidates?
it's alrite that you dun remember my name. :D do tell me what you think.
I am not quite sure what you wanna hear because you did not identify your question. Used to screw up comprehension so pardon me if I misconstrued your words. I think you are questioning the fact that the system is not based on public election and hence there are no other contestants. As such, there isn't a need to consider public opinion or opposition?
Hmm... what I mean by opposition does not necessarily refer to the die-hard opposition parties. Maybe I should correct the choice of word. How about variety? For instance, we have 2 DPMs. One is Ah-Long, the other is Tony Tan. While not a hardcore fan of Tony Tan, I find it perplexing how the PAP carried out the selection process and eventually decided on The Man.
Lolx... I have to admit my opinion is really really un-intelligent. =p Must read the papers more often. Do the papers carry news on how PAP decided on the next PM? If there were such reports, I must slap myself. Lolx... Adios..
Forgot to add.. hehe.. You were suggesting in your first entry that given that we were able to vote. You stated a hypothesis, hence my reply was also kinda hypothetical based.
Aiya.. I hate politics... think BONSS might be more interesting to talk about. Lolx...
hmm.... i mistook the meaning of opposition. sorry! so maybe they should really hold the process where the pm will be selected through election.
one point that i personally feel is that they already have lee hsien long in mind as the future pm and have been nurturing him to take over mr goh. thus it was like only a ceremony where the pap members vote. i'm really not into politics too and i'm not intending to read up more. *typical citizens of s'pore*
thus, all i wrote are my 0 cents worth of rubbish. whaha... so let's see what dear has to say later. Cheers!
