IMF -SPORE COMMITS 4BILLION!-feel proud?
-
It was announced that S'pore has joined the BIG BOYS! We are helping to bail out EUROPE! Yes the little red dot does it again! 4 BILLION dollars commitment to the IMF together with the big boys- China Japan and Russia ! My first reaction was to feel great pride! But then I ask - why are we involved in bailing out these people? Can we afford to do this? For less than 2 thousand desperate families in Singapura we were so careful to debate AT LENGTH as to whether they should get 30 dollars more a month, less we encourage a crutch mentality! BUT my Singaporean pride tells me to " forget my mini-micro frog in the well mentality, we must look at the BIG picture!- Now our little red dot is glowing brightly and NOTICED by everyone on the world stage!" What are your thoughts everyone?

How the IMF Props Up the Bankrupt Dollar System

It may not be a bad move.
Firstly, when you pledge doesn't mean you have to come up with the money, it's just a pledge until when they really need the money, then it's up to Singapore to fulfil the pledge.
Secondly, when you pledge to help others, there is a good chance when you need help, others will return the kind gesture.
Thirdly, it's PAP style. Stylo milo lah! They first take care of the foreigners overseas first, followed by foreigners in Singapore, then we talk about the poor Singaporean families here.

IMF need EURO 400 billion to bail out Europe.
Singapore pledge US$ 4 billion.
From where ?
The money cannot be used to FIX the world class transport.
I am not refering to buy the bus.
I am refering to the MRT (Maintenance Run-down Train)

Surely you guys must be proud of our golden Monarco of the East? NO? 4 billion US dollars from the little red dot.....can you imagine that? Now tell me if any of our ASEAN countries could have done half of that? This is testimony of of the government's ability and economic shrewness to put golden Monarco of the East on the world stage. Remember the BIG picture always! For the sake of the world and ourselves we have to be a global player too!

i even hate seeing people reluctant to seek medical treatment because they are afriad they will not able to pay the medical bills.
s'pore have $$$ to bailout 1% of euroupe, no $$ to help old people or poor families.

When you are old you will also be 1 of those who end up picking cans on the streets -
I see it as necessary charity...
But whats 4 billion to our delegated authority? Its just a number to them.
The aged recycling cans are still dignified compared to wiping tables, janitoring or frontline service. Can we give those that deserve retirement a more dignified job than these?
