Taking care of the low income families
Here is an example of the view of a PAP MP and an alternative view:
http://siewkumhong.blogspot.com/2011/03/response-to-questions-from-hri-kumar.html
The PAP's response is "Singaporeans are lazy and will take advantage of welfare". This does not reflect what I know of many Singaporeans - who are willing to work hard for a fair wage." The PAP leaders should learn to respect and trust Singaporeans, so that the people can return the trust and respect to the leaders.

Complaining Singaporeans and leaders
Pointing fingers
I saw a letter in Today about the experience of a resident who lodged a complaint with the Police about a noisy motorist in the early morning. The policeman referred the resident to the Land Transport Authority (if this is a traffic offence) or to the National Environment Agency (if this is a noise pollution). This is finger pointing carried out to the extreme. It is an extremely bad culture that has developed in Singapore - following the examples of our ministers who also point fingers at each other. Why has Singapore reached this shameful state?

Robert Kuok's personal thoughts on wealth and capitalism
Robert Kuok is SE Asia's richest person. He shares his views on wealth and capitalism. Some of his thoughts have relevance to the current situation in Singapore (my interpretation, not his). See TKL website or click here.
Quotes:
When I hire staff I look for honest, hardworking, intelligent people. When I look candidates in the eye, they must appear very honest to me. I do not look for MBAs or exceptional students. You may hire a brilliant man, summa cum laude, first-class honours, but if his mind is not a fair one or if he has a warped attitude in life, does brilliance really matter?

I have learnt that the success of a company must depend on the unity of all its employees. We are all in the same boat rowing against the current and tide and every able person must pull the oars to move the boat forward. Also, we must relentlessly endeavour to maintain and practise the values of integrity and honesty, and eschew and reject greed and arrogance.
In capitalism, man needs elements of ambition and greed to drive him. But where does ambition end and greed take over? That's why I say that capitalism, if left to its own devices, will snowball along, roll down the hill and cause a lot of damage. So a sound capitalist system
requires very strongly led, enlightened, wise governments. That means politician-statesmen willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of their people. I don't mean politicians who are there for fame, glory and to line their pockets.

Wealth should be used for two main purposes. One: for the generation of greater wealth; in other words, you continue to invest, creating prosperity and jobs in the country. Two: part of your wealth should be applied to the betterment of mankind, either by acts of pure philanthropy or by investment in research and development along the frontiers of science, space, health care and so forth.
Radiation up 400 times in Miyagi, new blast feared at Fukushima
Russia Today (RT) broadcasting from Washington, DC, is providing excellent coverge of the Japanese earthquake, tsunami and nuclear power meltdown.
Tsunami and Japan
The Japanese coined the word "tsunami" to describe the terror waves caused by an earthquake. They have experienced the tsunami many times during their long history.
In recent history, the word was borrowed to describe the terror waves that killed 300,000 people following the Sumatra earthquake in 2004. Six years later, the Japanese had the misfortune to experience the tsunami again. Quite sad!
