Why Singapore is better than America
-
Singaporeans are lucky people. If you open up the newspapers in Singapore to read , there is nothing but good news and good ideas from the ruling government. There is daily hope that things will get better. Once a week someone in Singapore achieve something big - like urine power batteries. Everyone live in harmony with the government - even opposition in Singapore is nice and quiet. The government is virtually perfect based on what the Singapore newspapers say and are always thinking of ways to improve the lives of Singaporeans. The govt of Singapore is always helping its people - recently to help the poor buy flats. It looks like Singaporeans are relatively problem free and happy - not much suffering in Singapore.
When I went on tour in the US for one month and when I read the newspaper, I was horrified this country has so much problems. People going on strike because they think their pay is too low. Politicians is always arguing with each other on various issues - Something unheard of in Singapore. The
newspapers is full of criticism of the govt - obviously the Leaders in America are not as smart as Singapore leaders - nobody in Singapore can find anything wrong with the PAP. The people I met in America are generally unhappy with their lives and is always talking about trying to change it - they dream of becoming rich, becoming movie stars, becoming singers, becoming this and that. I even met a 40 year old guy who was attending medical school - obviously he is unhappy with his job as a waiter. Contrast to Singaporeans who are very happy with their current existence, many are happy with their current jobs and don't dream much about the future.
When I was on tour, I found out America has poor public transport system - no MRT, few public bus. Can't imagine how they get around.
Their service sector is behind us by decades, I went the hotel restaurant to eat, the first day they were very nice to me. The second day I went back, they were not nice. I was offended, so like every good Singaporean, I complained. They told me I did not tip them the first day. Walao, in America must 'tip' to get service. In Singapore, I never have to tip!
Another day I wondered on to the streets and found a man distributing anti-government material. I read it and it accused the US govt of causing the suffering in 3rd world countries. Why does the US govt allow the people to accuse it? In singapore, this person would have been arrested.
Another day, a Hispanic union group gathered in a rally accusing employers of discrimination - how can they do that? don't they know that businesses if not given a free hand to do what they want will just invest in china or india. How come their union is not working with the employer to harmonise worker relations and persuade workers to accept their current conditions?
One day when I was on the "free and easy" part of my tour I found a way to take the bus around in Los Angeles. At my 3rd stop, a cyclist wanted to take the bus, the bus driver got down the bus and help him to mount his bicycle on a structure at the front of the bus. I was disgusted, how can he do that, it caused delay to everyone on the bus. I'm surprised Americans put up with that. Half way through the ride, the bus got a bit crowded, just like Singapore people don't move to the rear. At the bus stop people trying to get up shouted loudly at the people in the bus to "move to the rear guys!! we can't get up!!".
In Singapore, people would have kept quiet and waited for the bus driver
to do something - if nothing is done they would have just waited for the next bus. This shows that Americans are impatient lot - unlike Singapore they don't trust the person in the leadership position(bus
driver) to do his job.
As I move around in America, I realise the problem of older workers getting jobs is far worse that in Singapore. I saw very few old folks working in America - they are mostly sitting in parks or playing with their grand children. I guess they do that because they are unable to find a job. In contrary, we see many old folks in Singapore working as cleaners or at MacDonalds. We should be thankful that in Singapore even old folks can find jobs. In America, old folks are jobless and sitting around doing nothing. It is obvious the American government is unable to solve the structural unemployment problem and are unable to redesign jobs for older workers. These old folks in America must be
suffering without an income and spending so much time in the park when
they should be working.
I went to one place that was having an election for a Mayor. So much money wasted on posters and hundreds of people wasting time campaigning for the candidates. Why do they waste time doing that? In Singapore, instead of having so many people choosing a president, we simply have a panel of 3 people to do it - it is cheaper and waste less energy. Obviously America has alot to learn from Singapore.
The only place I like alot is Las Vegas. Wow the bright lights and the wonderful casinos. Yes, I like it alot although one night at the jackpot machine, I don't know what happened to me and I lost $500. For some reason, I couldn't stop myself. But later when I watch the show with the pirate ship and girls in bikini, I felt much better and forgot my loss. Certainly I'll come back to Las Vegas. You can see that the Singapore govt also realise that most Singaporeans will like Las Vegas, so they are building 2 casinos in Singapore to bring Las Vegas to Singaporeans. See, how much the PAP govt cares about you, to make sure you're well entertained and have some excitement in your life.
You can see for yourself how lucky singapore is as a country. People above 60 are still able to find jobs and continue working. Everyone living in harmony happily. No time wasted on debates and protests. No confusing concepts to deal with. After my tour in America, I'm so glad that we have such a good government that put a smile on the faces of Singaporeans everyday... and when I open up the newspapers, I can see everything is fine and dandy. Our citizens are obedient and trust their leaders. - sammyboy -

Yes indeed it is effectively run as far as I know.
The only dislike I have here is that it does not allow human rights to be practiced as freely as USA... this may somehow hinder fairness & equality.

Yes the govt is just there to protect us from evil. Evil thoughts and evil people. By controlling the information such that only positive news reaches you, you will feel more positive every day. The government also get rid evil hearted people like JBJ and Chee Soon Juan. These evil people may confuse you with all sorts of thoughts about freedom and democracy. Do not be confused, just listen to what the PAP says are everything will be clear and easy to understand.Originally posted by TooFree:Yes indeed it is effectively run as far as I know.

Remember this govt cares about you. Its primary concern is your welfare. Otherwise why do they censor the TV you watch so that your mind will not be poisoned.
The PAP has helped you to buy your houses by getting the bank to lend you money for 20 years. These are affordable housing built by the HDB without which, you will all be homeless. 80% of Singapore household benefit from the generosity of HDB....you can easily afford to pay for it over a period of 20 years. The PAP is so kind and concerned about you, they make sure you have a roof over your head.
The PAP has also imported thousands of Foreigners (Foreign Talents) to help you economically. According to the PAP, these FTs are here to help create more jobs for Singaporeans. See how smart the government is to make sure you have jobs. - sammyboy -

These are all satires. The articles meant to critizise SG Gov.

OVERSOUL! caramon In BRA!

as for the tipping part, Singapore does not have the tipping culture because we have something called the "service charge".
In some other countries, like the US, tipping is part of their pay and you are EXPECTED to tip. -
whoa hold on a sec there, I'm not gonna read all that Shit!

Gun control or else many here would have died
