I stumble upon another blog ytd... the author was saying Singapore might have another world's 1st... the highest educated taxi driver in the world...

well... what he say might be very true in a decade's time! Personally, i have stumble upon nice taxidriver with perfect, PERFECT english... chat up with a few of those, polys and unis grad who got retrench @ 40~ and nobody want to employ them.. this situation is very real! entreprenurship might not work out as singapore market is simply too small... what? open a shop and hope foreign talent come and buy? geez..

yea right.. statistic has shown that there are more and more job openings season after season... but there is simply no way i can survive here being a cleaner or production worker. period. there's a thread in sgforum mentioning.. will NSF fight for singapore? alot of s'pore mention - no... they are pay 450/mth... what can they expect. though some are fighting for loved 1 and all... but well.. when the time comes perhaps.

On an ending note, a quote from a former top civil servant (previous permanent secetary in the govt, former chairman of DBS, and head of HDB)

"Singapore is like Sparta, where the top students are taken away from their parents as children and educated. Cohort by cohort, they each select their own leadership, ultimately electing their own Philosopher King......But when I reached the end of the book, it dawned on me that though the starting point was meritocracy, the end result was dictatorship and elitism. In the end, that was how Sparta crumbled" - Ngiam Dow Tong, a former top civil servant

Back in school!!! Feels great to be back to BLK L lvl 5!! infact i m blogging here right now... though on the surface there isn't much radical changes, things that are new includes...
