It seems that the salaries of our Singaporean ministers have caught the attention of more Singaporeans than any other negative news before. I can't say this is bad; I mean, their wages are more suitable for Bill Gates or something.
True, this does seem like legalized corruption, but at least in this way, we know who's bribing them. If their income is reduced to "more suitable rates", we know they will be more susceptible to bribes. How many people believe that the U.S. government officials are incorruptible?
And the fact that the pay of our ministers caught more local eyes than before tells us something about us Singaporeans. The government is the product of the people. The people is the product of a certain Lee family. And what has LKY caused Singaporeans to evolve into?
Mercenaries.
LKY didn't do this to ruin the country, that's for sure. He was smart, no doubt, to build an empire like this in such a short time. Even if his strategies were not entirely his own, the fact that he chose those ideas out of so many other is an example of how good he was.
But LKY is a product of the past. He no longer belong in this age. Times change faster than anyone can adapt. He is a product of a time when information was hard to get, and everyone was working their asses off too much to care about political stuff. Don't forget, those days were merely years after WWII, and as long as the government isn't caught embezzling, and the gov seems to be working for the people(like the commies in PRC), no one really minds.
But this is no longer those good old days. Information is only clicks away. We can find out anything we want, in mere minutes. Just google for forums, check them out, register to see all sections and keep an eye out for links, and bingo, we know everything. Only catch is whether we care enough to click at all.
If anyone really cares to look, one can probably even find out if LKY has a mole on his left butt cheek, and what size it is, in inches, and if there's hair growing from it. It is easy, unlike during the 1970s when people had to go to whatchamacallit to search for files and papers and shit.
It no longer works, this method of making everything look beautiful by telling only the sweeter part of the truth. No matter how you dress an ugly old hag with herpes, she's still one ugly old hag with herpes, however you look at her. And no matter how much you cover her, or how dim the room is, you're still going to get herpes. And you don't want to get herpes.
Well, this would have worked if the gov had made all this information secret. Not doing so had worked in the past, but the Internet has made this obsolete. If you do not want people to know, to compare this information with others, don't let it out.
We must understand that LKY loves his sons. With that sort of power he welded in those days, who wouldn't have done what he did, training his LHL and all? But that doesn't make this right. It's not exactly wrong, but LHL hasn't shown much talent the way his dad did, so it's not right either.
Just because a man is talented in some ways doesn't mean his kids will be the same. History has taught us as much, but few fathers can learn that lesson. It is human nature, and this is undeniable. But since it is not always right, someone needs to do something to fix the matter when it gets wrong.
People have tried, no doubt. All the best guys opposing the God of Sg are either exiled, bankrupt or in jail. So even if we were to vote for someone not from PAP, we don't have any capable guys to choose from. This isn't cool. It's like an MCQ in which they have cancelled all the wrong choices. Dude, you don't have any other options, and if you dislike the right answer that much, leave it blank and fail the fucking paper.
No one is happy about it, no one except his henchmen. They are not gay, they are not retards, and they are not stupid. They are just fighting for the obviously winning side of the war. And that is pretty smart, I can tell you that.
As long as the God is around to bless his followers, anyone who's unhappy about the situation should just quit the game and leave. Return when the Lord Almighty has left, and fight when the conditions are more in your favor. Right now, it's an uphill battle and the slope is as steep as LKY's left butt cheek is soft.
AAAAAAAAAAAA... must.. stop... imagining... butt.... cheek.....
Phew!
