Good Governance

People vs System or People & System?
Policies can change over time while Constitution should not keep changing. This is because Constitution sets the structure of the system that is supposed to provide the desired and sustainable political environment and conditions for a country, with its unique parameters and context, to strive for the welfare of its people.
My discussion with my friend in Kyoto went around this issue of whether the governance of a 'successful' country is based on the system or the people, or BOTH.
My take away is this:
1) It is possible for an authoritarian government to provide good Governance to enhance progress for the country but is this the "Necessary or Sufficient Condition" for that to happen?
2) It is also possible for an authoritarian government to mess up terribly when the highly concentrated powers made a grave mistake without counterbalance.
3) It is possible for a Democratic government to produce poor governance that resulted in devasting impact on the country.
4) However, a Democratic Government can also produce good Governance to provide progress for the Nation.
5) Corruptions or Corrupt practices occur in both Democratic and Authoritarian Gov.
6) So does it mean that Good Governance depends solely on the People put into power?
My conclusion is:
1) Authoritarian Rule is neither Necessary nor Sufficient Condition for Good Governance.
2) Democratic Government is a Necessary but Insufficient Condition for Good Governance.
The reason is that Good Governance depends on putting Good, Capable and Competent people to run the country via Civil Service.
The Authoritarian Rule alone could not possibly achieve that because Power Corrupts and it eventually develops into nepotism or cronyism.
A Democratic Rule may also develop into nepotism or cronyism if there is no sufficient proper checks and balances in place. Democracy is not just about voting or universal suffrage. It should be more than that.
Democracy ideal is based on the fundamental premise that human beings can change over time from good to bad. It's because Power Corrupts, Absolute Power Corrupt s Absolutely.
It is due to this distrust of human nature that we need to put in place a proper Democratic system that comes with proper Separation of Powers.
Thus, the other necessary condition for Good Governance is a proper system with Separation of Powers plus a system to select Civil Servants from the brightest in the society.
This is normally known as Scholar System.
The Ancient Chinese Dynasties depended on the Scholar System to provide the brightest people to become their administrators. Thus even with an authoritarian rule by the Emperor and the elite Royal family, no matter how incompetent these elites were, the scholar system normally sustain the dynastic rule for hundreds of years.
However, the Scholar System will eventually be corrupted by those in power themselves. Meritocracy is not Elitism.
Singapore is a Country under authoritarian rule with a minimal Democratic features and it depended heavily on the Scholar System aka PSC to sustain the relatively Good Governance.
What we need to change is the nature of One Party authoritarian rule because this is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition for Good Governance but will result in a slow evolution of degration due to the lack of proper Separation of Powers plus Checks and Balances.
We will preserve and enhance the independence of our Scholar System so to continue provide Good Competent Governance, but we need to vote in good opposition MPs to check on the ruling party.
Most important of all, we need to reform our governance structure to install Real Separation of Five Powers for sustainable Good Governance for our future generations.

It’s all karma.
Look at Ukraine. It’s caught between two big powers and is totally destroyed.
Singapore is lucky as the neighbors are relatively friendly.

I no name,no money also know that without Good Opposition Representation,GOVERNANCE WILL NEVER BE AS GOOD.
HOW CAN OWN$ELVES CHECK OWN$ELVES?
But,but,Own$elves Can Surely “CHEQUE” OWN$ELVES.
Even Elon’s Tesla need INDEPENDENT AUDITOR.
Let’s fooling ourselves that “Ownselves can CHECK ownselves”.

In Communist Island there is no such thing as Constitution this or Constitution that. It is just a convenient word to pretend the Government is civilised. When the real problems need to be solved then out come the ISA and gangsters knocking on our doors. No one can talk about real issues. The Ministry Of Truth has already decided what is real and what is a lie.
Only dare to speak the Truth if you desire to be a guest of the Gahmen. Even the former goon LSY has run off to foreign countries because he was angry his son will not be the next leeder and cannot claim his rightful place as ruler of this tiny island.
With such a dysfunctional system it i only a matter of time until the money runs out. Then the real fun to ‘liberate’ your hard-earned money will begin.

President Joe Biden has violated the US Constitution and ought to be impeached for permitting Ukraine to fire American-supplied long-range missiles into Russia, Congressman Thomas Massie has said.
Multiple US outlets reported over the weekend that Biden had lifted the restrictions on Kiev’s use of US-supplied rockets. While the White House has neither confirmed nor denied the news officially, a volley of missiles was fired at Russia’s Bryansk Region early on Tuesday.
“By authorizing long range missiles to strike inside Russia, Biden is committing an unconstitutional Act of War that endangers the lives of all US citizens,” Massie, a Republican from Kentucky, posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday.
Even for US with its so-called separation of powers, their POTUS can start a world war all by himself.
UK is even worse. Boris, an ex-PM who is not holding any current official post can declare war for UK.
Democracy, Constitution, etc. all useless.

What constitution?
It is the MIGHTY law-maker that breaks the law apparently thinking they are above the law.
If need be,they will CHANGE THE LAW TO SUIT THEMSELVES.
Here in $in Inc,it is more than obvious.
WTF IS LAW these days when those in leadership positions are lawless?

The importance of voting system should not be underestimated!
First-past-the-post is not good as it allows MPs to enter parliament with low % margin for eg pappy MP garner only 40% whereas 2 oppo candidates (let’s say 35% & 25%) from different parties garner 60% in a 3-corner contest in a SMC.
Am I correct to say that the pappy MP still win the seat in the eg given above?

As I grow older, I can’t help but realize that people both the ordinary folks and their leaders don’t really respect cause and effect. Respecting cause and effect mean knowing what was the cause(s) that resulted in a certain good or bad effect. Only by knowing the root cause can you prescribe the right solution.
Having separation of powers till the point when the entire government is incapacitated or function poorly, is this good for a country? Look at the USA. Having a Scholar system with handpicked talent but who are totally out-of-touch with the common people to help run the country, is this a good thing? Our ministers and top civil servants are the crème de la crème of the country but most of them are pretty self-centred. You think they know what is the aspirations, worries and concerns of the ordinary Sinkies? Think about some of the stupid policies that they produced e.g. privatizing SMRT which had to be reversed, stop at two population control resulting in TFR of <1 today, asset enhancement (using CPF to buy HDB at market rate) resulting in inadequate retirement funds for many and so on.
What were these top talents thinking? Definitely about themselves and not the interests of the common people. The root problem is selfishness and greed both in the leaders and those who voted for them.

Hi,
Goh Meng Seng is great at talk c0ck sing s0ng. GMS and all the pro democracy supporters are naive allowing themselves to be used as cannon fodder.
GMS flied to Hong Kong to join HK Pro Democracy cannon fodder to condemn our great PAP government on abuse of human rights.
https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/east-asia/some-50-people-protest-in-hong-kong-in-support-of-amos-yee-report
“I don’t like Amos because he’s rude in the Singapore context. But I have to defend his rights,” GMS was quoted as saying.
But GMS, and his HK Pro Democracy cannon fodder DARE NOT fly to UK to condemn the UK/US government. You GMS and gang are plain COWARD.

The speech that Zaluzhny gave at a bootcamp in southern England was shared by The Sun on Tuesday, after the tabloid joined the official’s tour of the military facility. British Armed Forces Minister Luke Pollard accompanied the Ukrainian general-turned-diplomat.
”Remember that the war is becoming more cruel with every day. It leaves almost no chance for survival,” Zaluzhny warned the trainees. “Learn not to be afraid of death.”
He urged the troops to develop military camaraderie, to become brothers on the battlefield, and to look after each other.
”It’s not enough to save yourself and your friend, your brother,” he stated. “You still need to complete the task. To do this, you will need to kill. To kill without hesitation.”
“Love each other and remember Ukraine. If you are gone, maybe someone else will take your place, but Ukraine will be preserved,” Zaluzhny added.
The general pyscho the soldiers to die at the frontline while he stays safely in London.

Frankly,our governance is being compromised.
Even SPF is shunning work.
Perhaps they are too busy with other things or otherwise.
Look,so many VCH cases referred to CMC TO “SETTLE”?
PERPETRATORS ARE EMBOLDEN.
Hence,such law-breakers are not afraid to cause hurt and injury to others.
The rise of bullying and causing grievious,hurt to even elderly on the rise in numbers.
How many times sgs got attacked by even so-called more educated ANGMOH-FTs not to mention hooligans?
And,they got scot-free by going to CMC TO SETTLE?
CMC JUST WANT TO SETTLE ALL CASES SENT TO THEM IF POSSIBLE.
HOW IS JUSTICE UPHELD IN SUCH MANNER?
Those VICTIMS OF VCH WHO HAVE ATTENDED CMC KNOW HOW SUCH MEDIATIONS ARE DIRECTED TOEARD SETTLEMENT.
My buddy got whacked by Angmoh.
Went to CMC by order.
There,the mediation was so biased.
Even so-called investigation sounded bias.
My friend knew better.
He has been farked by the system which just want as many cases as possible to get “settled”.
Such an approach only give impetus for perpetrators to get embolden by giving WRONG signals.
THIS IS WELL BE A REASON WHY THERE ARW MORE AND MORE CASES OF “VCH” in recent times.
CMC MEDIATORS MOSTLY WANT TO “SCORE POINTS” WITH THE GOVT SO THEY CAM GET NATIONAL DAY AWARDS.
THIS RESULTED IN FURTHER “VICTIMISATION” OF VICTIMS AND GIVE WRONG SIGNALS TO PERPETRATORS.
I even encountered a potential perpetrator at a eatery while queing up to order.
He cut queue and I told him to observe zhe Q.
He said not happy ,go outside to settle.
I said I will call the police.
He said Police No Use…
Fortunately,the store manager intervened and he was cajoled to Q up behind me and another customer.
So,you see,police can be disgraced like thst unlike in the past.
Police must be UPRIGHT TO MAINTAIN LSW ANF ORDER HONESTLY BY PUTTING INTEGRITY BACK IN PLACE.
INTEGRITY OF LAW ENFORCERS IS UTMOST.
“TAKING SIDES” especially in any manner is obviously not correct.

Good Governance has long been CONveniently forgotten.
Only when it comes to peasantry is so-called “good governance” strictly APPLIED to PENALISE them.
Where is Good Governance,for instance, WHEN THE ERECTED Pre$ident pried open the National Reserves Safe of sgs to take out $100B and claim PER CAPITA GRANT OF $23.5K while handing ELDERLY RETIREES AND OTHER NEEDY BUT WELL DESERVING NATION-BUILDERS A PALTRY SUM OF $600 WHILE GRANTING HUGE FURLOUGH TO EVEN FTs with HIGH SALARIES IN THE NAME OF SAVING JOBS when WAGE CUT FOR HIGH INCOME BRACKETS could have been MORE MEANINGFULLY AND EQUITABLY APPLIED ?
GOOD GOVERNANCE ?
Sure or not?

Every year,SINGAPORE POOLS “DONATE” HUNDREDS OF $ TO GARDENS BY THE BAY.

WHY USE POOR SGS’ POOL MONEY WHICH POOR SGS PUNT IN THE HOPE OF WINNING ‘SOMETHING”?
A LOT OF BETTING MONEY.
HOW MUCH “DONATED” TO GARDENS BY THE BAY.

To be fair,there can be no Good Governance without Good Checks and Balance.
And,there can be No Good Checks and Balance without Good Opposition.

If not,VOTE FOR GOOD OPPOSITION SGS LIKE THOSE FROM PSP AND SDP.
Thank you for taking time to ponder on this simple truth.

Yes, agreed. Good people will not fail under any circumstances, they bounce back, get back on their feet and move on.
Whereas Bad people (whining, lazy and unmotivated) people will always fail because they are too lazy and unmotivated to do anything except demanding for EVERYTHING FREE from our great PAP government.

Speaking of lazy people, able bodied people using PMDs are becoming more prevalent. Just now, out to buy dinner nearr Clementi ave 1 & 2, , there’s this PMD with a young Malay couple on it. With a foodpanda sign.
I don’t think they are in anyway ill or handicapped, judging by the way they go round beeping everyone in their way.
Ask your master do something about lazy and unmotivated riders for Foodpanda and Grab. Ask them ride on the main road and stop racing along pedestrian paths.
And the MRT nowadays is full of prams, wheelchairs, PMDs. I swear I will ride a rollercoaster into the train the next time.

Haha. Jiak Liao Bee

The couple is hard driving and hard striving.
Unlike some Singaporeans who demand government to provide everything FREE, this couple stand on their own feet to provide for themselves.
Making an honest living through hard work is something to be proud of.
Of course, we PAP knows that the PMD is a killer if abuse and are taking steps to regulate it. Stay tune.

“The PAP’s rhetoric about a vibrant democracy is contradicted by its actions. Laws like the Foreign Interference Countermeasures Act (FICA) and the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (POFMA) have been used to silence criticism, making true dialogue impossible.”
SG DEMOCRACY IS BEING HIJACKED BY THE PAPPY GOVT!
“As many as 30% of voters who preferred the opposition have admitted to changing their vote out of fear,” Thum noted. He argued that this tactic has been instrumental in maintaining the PAP’s dominance but comes at the cost of undermining genuine democratic choice… ”
TO OVERCOME PAPPY DOMINANCE THE VOTERS HAVE TO OVERCOME THE FEAR FACTOR!

Good governance must be Fair and Transparent.
It must first SERVE THE CITIZENS’ INTERESRTS BEFORE OTHERS.
Good governance must be just and righteous.
Without true justice embedded in it,governance will not be truly good.
Sg has strict governance but oftentimes,it work against the citizens.
A STATE IS WHAT IT IS- JUST A STATE.
What is more important is THE CITIZENS WHO MADE UP THE NATION.
We can has a RICH STATE WITHOUT BEING A PROGRESSIVE NATION.
THIS IS AKIN TO A “FOREIGN” INVASION LIKE COLONISATION where “rulers” USE THE NATION for benefits and gains at the expense of the CITIZENS(Nation).
Sin Inc seems to be in such a situation.
Which sincere citizen can honestly argue otherwise?
loading...
Foodpanda and Grab also make honest living. Also speed along pedestrain paths with the attitude , people get out of my way.
By the way you sound, every able bodied person should ride PMD as long as they are working.
For some, PMD is the family car. By right only Ah Kong Ah Por can use. Now their grandchildren also can.
Ask your foodpanda and grab don’t be selfish and inconsiderate, get them to use motorbikes. So cheapo, riders have to use bicycles to speed on footpaths.

If I were PRs or New Citizens,I will buy landed anytime!
Condos?
Unless Freehold.
If 99-year condo have to pay a FEW $MILLION ,I might as well buy Landed Terrace even if I cannot but GCB that are in Tens of million dollars worth.

IF CONDO IS $4 M 99-YEAR AT 1200 SQ FT.
I BUY TERRACE WITH LAND OF 2000 SQ FT ALSO CLOSE TO $4M.
Sgs must be wiser.
Don’t get screwed by developers of highly priced 99-year condo that charge you $4M for 1200 sq ft of 99 year leasehold unit.

PRESIDENT Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has vowed to uphold the rule of law in the face of a highly disturbing claim from Sara Duterte, his estranged vice president, that there is a plot to assassinate her before the 2028 presidential elections, and this has prompted her to ask “someone” to take down the President, the first lady, Mrs. Liza Araneta-Marcos, and House Speaker Martin Romualdez in the event she were killed. This has been interpreted as an active threat against the trio, a call for their violent death, even though she was merely saying, matter-of-factly, what she has done to avenge her possible death in the hands of her enemies.
The President, his executive secretary and the presidential security command all agreed that the vice president’s statement calls for an appropriate response. This has yet to be defined, but it clearly means that if the law has been violated, she cannot be given a free pass, she has to be formally charged in court and punished for it. It seems to me though that the government has a duty to ascertain whether there is any truth to her claim, made without evidence, of a plot to eliminate her before 2028, which is what has reportedly prompted her to arrange for her possible revenge.
This has to be thoroughly investigated, and the results widely disseminated so that the nation would know the whole truth. Have we fallen under the thumb of the underworld? What if there is indeed a plot to eliminate her from the 2028 presidential race? The government should be prepared to remove such a plot and level the playing field. But what if such a claim cannot be verified? She should be prepared to apologize and make amends for it.

At 6.9M we had HongLim Pak protest, but millionsters were quietly buying up GCBs to flip.
How many in papigs were buying to flip after they put the population growth on steroid.
”His 28,376 sq ft big GCB in Holland Rise was sold for $50 million last August following a contract signed with Wang Qianqian, a Chinese-turned-Singapore citizen, Edgeprop reported. Mah had reportedly purchased the property in 1992.””Former minister Mah Bow Tan sells Good Class Bungalow at Holland Rise for $50 mil”
How many more millionsters are waiting or have flipped GCBs to newly minted toilet paper citizens.

when a minister, acting as a MP, can write a letter for a voter to her ministry. She can then act as the minister and reject the letter. Everyone has roles to play, right?
From other news:
In response, MP Teo maintained a polite and empathetic tone but emphasised that MPS was not the appropriate platform for discussing large-scale political issues like Gaza.
She offered to write letters to MHA and MFA on their behalf, which the residents found inadequate.
“What does it mean for a Second Minister of Home Affairs to write to her own ministry? What impact will this letter have, and can we be sure it’s not just a form of patronisation?” they questioned.

Just a story. Any resemblance to real life is pure coincidence.
A restaurant organizes a free food happy hour. A beggar comes in, and he gets a free plate of carrot cake. He throws that to the floor and angrily scolds the waiter for serving moldy food.
The next day, the restaurant boss criticizes the beggar on Farcebook, “The beggar behavior is totally unacceptable. This is free food. If he is not happy, he is free to go elsewhere.”
Many people support him, “Yes, beggars cannot be choosers.”

In the 1920s/ 1930s, one kilogram of chicken breast cost only ten cents.
If you build an attap house in Pulau Tekong, you could truly build it with zero cost—— make attap yourself using the attap leafs abundantly available in the whole island, chop down the woods needed to be beams and pillars from the hillside near the location you wanted your house to be. After which, there were plenty of land for you to grow vegetables, sweet potatoes, tapioca, you could also rear as many chickens, ducks or geese, goats, buffalo etc as you pleased.
Life was truly amazingly good and stress free then.

Good governance is when you can suppress the citizens and yet they vote for you.
Look at China, where citizens are lifted.
The higher education in China has achieved remarkable development over the past 75 years, with a great leap in the scale of both universities and students.
In 1949, China had only 205 higher education institutions, with a gross enrollment rate of just 0.26 percent. The total number of students enrolled in universities was fewer than 120,000. Last year, there were 3,074 universities and 47.6 million college students, and the gross enrollment rate had soared to 60.2 percent.
60%!

The invalidation of Romania’s presidential election results by the country’s top court is a formalized coup d’etat, according to the winner of last month’s vote.
LKY talked of calling in the army if there were shock elections. In those days, coups were done with soldiers and tanks. Even in modern day backward countries such as SK, coups still need soldiers and tanks.
But Romania shows us the peaceful coup. Judges can perform better than guns.

This is bad govt.
Double standard in policy implementation (PDPA) & enforcement!
“While private organisations like STF face heavy fines and strict enforcement for mishandling NRIC data, statutory boards like ACRA can bypass these regulations entirely.
Yet, ACRA’s actions create the same risks to individuals’ privacy and security. This double standard undermines public trust in the government’s data protection framework and raises urgent questions about fairness, transparency, and the consistent application of laws.”

She added: “The bigger question is whether we can continue to supplement (the shrinking workforce) with foreign talent and generate sufficient productivity gains to support sustained growth.”
Song said that as economic growth concerns both productivity and labour growth, a slowdown in the latter in a shrinking population must be compensated by increased productivity.
