Czasem mam wrażenie, że Singapur to prywatna własność rodziny Lee

Brak ceł granicznych i płacy minimalnej zapewne jest "neoliberalny".


Through Hong Kong watching, I concluded that state welfare and subsidies blunted the individual's drive to succeed. I watched with amazement the ease with which Hong Kong workers adjusted their salaries upwards in boom times and downwards in recessions. I resolved to reverse course on the welfare policies which my party had inherited or copied from British Labour Party policies

Cytat z dykta... Tfu, premiera (1959-1990), starszego ministra (1990-2004), ministra mentora (2004-2011) Lee Kuan Lewa.
(jego syn jest teraz premierem)

On nie jest liberałem, ale z cała pewnością jest "neoliberałem".

Przede wszystkim biurokracja jest malutka.


PS. Tak czy inaczej, wolałbym tam nie mieszkać. Kodeks karny jest drakoński.
PPS. Jak chcecie znać opinie Singapurskich socjalnych o rodzinie Lee, to szukajcie u źródła.

W tym temacie na przykład porównują Lee do Hitlera

In 1959, it was easy for Lee to tell the people to support his policies without complaint. It was a time when people were just trying to survive. With heavy unemployment, with poverty and little hope, the people of Singapore were prepared to pay any price, sacrifice their rights and liberties in return for a better life; in return for bread and butter.

So for a long time, he forced every Singaporean into resettlement into HDB flats, he controlled the unions, he denied civil liberties, he kept wages low in order to compete with other low cost countries, he invited Western countries to set up assembly line factories with cheap labor from Singapore, he controlled the press with propaganda, he denied assemblies and protests. In other words he controlled people's lives for one purpose and one purpose alone; that is for economic development. The Singapore people who were predominantly poor allowed him to control their lives any way he wanted; as long as he managed to lift up their lives economically.

But the problem now is different. Singaporeans have now reached a certain level of education. A certain level of sophistication. They are no longer the impoverished coolie of 1959. They cannot be expected to tolerate those restrictions imposed on them such as in 1959. But the problem is, Lee Kuan Yew feels he can still make Singaporeans obey his orders like before.

Tego typu pieprzenie.
