Improve on meritocracy by parachuting Ng Yat Chung from one GLC to another?

RE: Singapore cannot abandon meritocracy, can improve it: DPM Lawrence Wong - Huliwang - 29-06-2022

Current meritocracy system applies coat-tailing and parachuting. If these are improve further, what can it be? Time-travelling or something??......

Did Lawrence consulted first choice, Heng Swee Keat, maybe Swee Keat viewed them differently.

As Lawrence is the 2nd choice.

RE: Singapore cannot abandon meritocracy, can improve it: DPM Lawrence Wong - sgbuffett - 29-06-2022

Singapore meritocracy is like our elections. The PAP control the media, election, can change the boundary for constituencies, time the election to it's advantage and hand out carrots to win. The opposition is character assassinated, jailed and bankrupted.

They call this fair.

Sinillarly our meritocracy is just a plutocracy. The rich are subsidised with low taxes and the burden for the poor and ordinary people increased year after year making their life tougher. The rich operate as landlords squeezing the lower classes.

There is no measure of meritocracy everyone claims to be one.but we know society fails when inequality grows and Singapore has the highest inequality among developed countries

The playing field is unlevel. Ordinary citizens are highly disadvantaged and they rub it in with foreign talents importation. Causing unhappiness on the ground.

I already said I did not make it to buy the $2 durians.
My mom saw $12/kg MSW downstairs and asked me to buy one.

There is only so much durian one can eat.

As for stocks I bought China tech instead of US tech as a strategy. It is paying off ...with stocks like BYD out performing Tesla by 70-100%>

RE: Singapore cannot abandon meritocracy, can improve it: DPM Lawrence Wong - sgbuffett - 29-06-2022

Singapore meritocracy is like this


The elites are parachuted into jobs for which they have no prior experience as ordinary people have to struggle to make ends meet

Singaporeans, we have to use our determination to overcome the PAP system. We need to stay on and make changes.

Over the weekend my uncle who migrated to Australia came with his son back to ask me and my mom to have dinner with them. I became very angry with him during the dinner. Here's why.

All his children completed university in Australia all 4. He asked me how come I didn't go university. I told him Singapore had limited places for Singaporeans in university during my time so I did not go. Then he show us pictures of his home with swimming pool garden and a long white fence. Talk and talk then asked us why we never upgraded from 2 room flat. I told him Singapore housing is very expensive and 2 room flat is big enough for me and my mom.

Then he went on to say he just bought a car for his youngest son who just finished his university in RMIT. Initially I heard wrongly and thought he said MIT but got R in front. I told him since I got my license I have never driven a car in Singapore because public transport is so good.

As the dinner dragged on, I  realised he was showing off to us his life in Australia is very good. WTF.

Australia is not even a good meritocracy.
It's just some backwater always changing govt....cannot compare with Singapore.

When you only keep looking at yourself , you will never able to perceive what is good and bad in life. He may be showing off and the government always change but the his family's life in term is much better than yours.Mind you , not just his life but his family. And he is a immigrant and not a local. We have a same  Gov for over 50 years , have your life be better than his family? I see you are too caught up or obsessed with your stock market and your cash get stuck there.You cannot move forward.
