1. walang opposition sa Singapore.
2. highest paid politicians in the world, kaya yung top management from private companies, willing lumipat sa public service
3. hanggang ngayon, naniniwala sila sa "caning" (palo). makakabili ka nga ng yantok sa suking tindahan

ano nakakapagtaka?

pag may reputation na matino mga tao ng isang bansa, hindi hihigpitan ng ibang bansa ang pagpasok ng mga tao galing sa bansang yan

pero pag ang reputation ng tao mo TNT, magnanakaw, terorista, etc...

Lee Kwan Yew (the best leader in the last 100years nothing compares)

On Democracy

One person, one vote is a most difficult form of government. From time to time, the results can be erratic. People are sometimes fickle. They get bored with stable, steady improvements in life, and in a reckless moment, they vote for a change for change’s sake.

In new countries, democracy has worked and produced results only when there is an honest and effective government, which means a people smart enough to elect such a government. Elected governments are only as good as the people who choose them.

Contrary to what American political commentators say, I do not believe that democracy necessarily leads to development. I believe that what a country needs to develop is discipline more than democracy. The exuberance of democracy leads to undisciplined and disorderly conditions which are inimical to development. The ultimate test of the value of a political system is whether it helps that society to establish conditions which improve the standard of living for the majority of its people, plus enabling the maximum of personal freedoms compatible with the freedoms of others in society.

There is no level playing-field of any government helping the opposition to win votes.

The weakness of democracy is that the assumption that all men are equal and capable of equal contribution to the common good is flawed.

Ito sinasabi ko na bakit hindi bagay sa Pinas yung one vote per person.

Class D and E madali mabola at mauto, reality yan. Isama mo pa mga Class C. Good luck talaga sa intelligent voters, too fickle ika nga. Mas mahalaga emotion at drama kesa objectivivity, reasoning and logic.

Pero extreme exception ang Singapore kasi isang city lang yan kung tutuusin. Dami nang example ng mga muncipalities and towns na kapag matino ang leader eh maayos ang galaw. Yung Pasig kung hindi lang kasama sa MM mas maayos pa yan. Kaso dami katabing LGU's na kelangan pakisamahan at may MMDA pa.

Puerto during the early years of Mayor Hagedorn really was a good place to be. Kaso power can and do corrupt.

Ito sinasabi ko na bakit hindi bagay sa Pinas yung one vote per person.
.

there was once a proposal, that only non-squatters would be allowed to vote.
for some mysterious reason, the proposal quietly died.

about population...

Singapore has around 3.5M citizens, around 5M people including foreigners.

Its easier to discipline 5M people...

Metro Manila alone has more than 12M people at night.
