Foreign Workers-How to Strike a Fine Balance
-
Insights article from Saturday (12 Sep 09) Straits Times.
The title stirred interest, but it's a patchwork full of quotations from ministers, economists and business leaders.
No independent view from the SENIOR Political Correspondent, Mr. Goh Chun Lian who wrote, or (compiled?) this article.
Flipped back to Page A2 of the papers and we have an article by Poltical Correspondent, Mr. Kor Kian Beng, who offered his or at least an independent view(?) on the political mire of PKMS with a strong title "Opposition group has to get its house in order".
Brush aside all those state-controlled stuff, readers of Straits Times should have access to quality contributions, when it comes to matters of the country.

Nothing is suppose to be balance ya, as scientist said, every matters is pulling and push one another, they can never strike a balance. And to them, when everything finally is balanced, that is the end.
As for FT coming here, what balancing are you talking about when the policy of the govt is to get FT in as much as possible?? There is no say for the citizens of Singapore, just grumble and talk alot, but no real protest.

geyland is already a born chinatown..dun bother to clean it up.
ASK Hebei native Albert Li where the real 'tang ren jie' - Chinatown - is in Singapore, and he tells you confidently that it is in Geylang.
'Among the Chinese nationals here, we have privately discussed this many times,' he said in Mandarin.
'Geylang is more like a 'tang ren jie' than Chinatown. There must be more Chinese nationals living and working here than in Chinatown,' said the 25-year-old.

So scary.
Chinatown is not big enough for these PRCs living here.
Now they need another place to hang out.
That goes to show how much the PRC population has increased in the past few years.

Balance is the state in which other sides are not upset. when there is pulling and pushing, they are not in balance; they are in a state of change. Change is the only constant in the universe, the art is how you manage the impact of the change. When everything is balanced, its not the end, its in equilibrium.

That is supposed to the the job of the opposition in a truly democratic society. Protestation without political support is not recommended, given the appartus available to the govt (ISA, laws, weak representation of alternative parties etc.).
