Hello,

Democracy is not an answer to everything

Question: Singapore could deliever eonomical growth without Democracy, the idea of Decmocracy is worthless
Countries that had embrace Democracy is pathetically ( very poor ) South American, India and Philipines

Answer: What is Democracy?
What is happiness? Do you measure happiness by the assets you own, high earner, status in soceity.
These days Singaporean tends to Bussiness-ization their thoughts on every issue, every solution
What is Democracy? Do you measure Democracy by GDP? Our PM said lets us focus on GNP from now onwards. Why the change of tune? B'cos they are finding it hard to attain Double-Digit Growth
2% is achieveable, anything higher would be consider a blessing

Democracy has many components. To have a heatlhy and educated workforce. You need basic human rights. The rights to food, the right to clean water, the right to shetler, the right to work, the right to education, FDI, ...etc
Other factors are Good governance, zero tolerance on courrption, invesment in education, science research & development..etc

To measure a country that is poor by GDP standard is shallow.
To measure a country Democracy (solely on Election) while ignoring the rest of the components is plain shallow

For exmaple Blog TV on S'pore population birthrates low by blaming Women from Venus Men from Mars is very shallow.
The host kept avoiding those issue high cost of living, stress on education, society demand both couples need to work, childcare centres, having little time to spend with kids, diffcult in taking leaves...etc all these are link to Govt. policies
