Education Inequality.

Are we doing better or worse than the USA?

A recent SAT data shows the deep inequality at the heart of American education. While in Singapore, our emphasis is every school is a good school. So, we should do better in solving education inequality here.

Everywhere in the world, education inequality is linked to income inequality. In Singapore, rich families are spending very much more on private tuitions and enrichment programs. It may make no difference whether you are in Singapore or the USA.

Economic uncertainties, jobs losses, high interest rates, will widen the rich and poor gap further. The inflation and expected prices and fees increased in Singapore will make the situation worse. The younger generation is not so lucky as compared to the older generations. Many children will not be able to beat their parents in wealth creation.

I make a 'policy shift' when I hear the debate of right politics, constructive politics and sub-standard opposition.

The poor guy without any resources can only offer his body or his service to work for the master. Back in his own chamber, the master is still not satisfied and continues to shout 'don't play, play, you think you are hero, you think you are tiger, or superstar or acting

After 60 years, after 3 failed political imaginations, the PAP is deteriorating...

EBRC objectives: Stop “Out of Aljunied”, Stop SDP Breakthrough and “Negative-Asset” Ministers.

First of all, we have to congratulate the Electoral Boundaries Review Committee for creating more competitions, especially, multi-cornered competitions in the East. When making changes, EBRC aims to achieve 3 goals: To prevent “Out of Aljunied” for Workers’ Party. This is the most important objective. To prevent Singapore Democratic Party making any breakthrough in the North and Central. To look for a solution to retire “negative-asset” ministers or reduce PAP damages. From the reported claims from different political parties, we will expect multi-cornered contests not only in single constituencies but also in group representative constituencies. The PAP hopes to have a repeat of 2011 Presidential Election. Then Tony Tan won the Presidency when he got only 35% of the votes, a narrow win.However, a win is still a win. He did in even in the very last minute, after recounts of votes. How to achieve multi-cornered contests? By inserting a single c
