KaKiLang 4th Gear July 22, 2011 Share July 22, 2011 S'pore cannot make do without foreign talent: Ex-MM Lee By S Ramesh | Posted: 22 July 2011 2107 hrs SINGAPORE: Former Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew said Singapore would not be able to punch above its own weight if it were to depend on talent from its own population. He was speaking at a dialogue to wrap up the two-day South Asian Diaspora convention in Singapore on Friday. Was he the one telling us to stop at 2? Now he says, based on the 3million population we have, cannot punch above our own weight. We have to accept the fact? Yes we do need foreign talent but not trash. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimonTan 2nd Gear July 22, 2011 Share July 22, 2011 Once a teacher in my class call us stupid and will not be good enough, even though we listen to the teacher and obey her instruction. In the army, my PC call us all fools, and say that if go to war, we will be the downfall of the company. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladykillerz 4th Gear July 22, 2011 Share July 22, 2011 talkin' c--k dot com. you want to influx population, i don't care. but before you do the influx, do proper planning lah. the land is so limited and bringing more people, things got to be done. we don't pay taxes for millionaires to sit there and relax one corner. increase housing, increase roads, increase public transportation, etc. before bringing in the crowd?! until everybody came in then start implementing this and that. now COE upz, public transport price upz, housing price upz. really, cannot make it... =P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gendut 2nd Gear July 22, 2011 Share July 22, 2011 (edited) But why arewe wasting time commenting on this has-been dinosaur who will soon move on anyway? Doesn't it be fitting that we ignore this old donkey? Lets make his views worthless and totally lost in timeless space. What better way for him to go than us letting him know that we are no longer interested in him and his crazy ideas? Non-engagement will be the ultimate insult.
