Politics › Re: See Shops At Singapore .there Is Levels To This Developed Country Thing.. by meccuno: 3:01pm On Sep 06, 2018
Nuzo1:
Singapore is 70% Chinese. The rest are Malays and Indians. Fact.

Singapore was rejected and expelled from Malaysia. Mostly because the Malays thought they were going to be a clog the wheel of Malaysian development. Singaporeans were so poor, dirty and uneducated. Fact.

The rest of the things you said here does not exist. I am restrained to call you a liar because you just may sincerely think you are right.

Singapore, like most south east Asian countries couldn't have gotten any financial or political support from China when for years China shut its doors to the world in the name of cultural revolution. This was the time Mao Zedong held sway. No money, little education and retrogressive communist policies. This was the worst time for the chinese. The communist Chinese government were only using their little money to sponsor communist parties in all of Asia.

The democratic and progrssive Singaporean government led by Lee Kuan Yew never saw eye to eye with Mao's communist China who did everything possible to overthrow the PAP party. So, how could Mao invest in a country he hates? Remember, Singapore had a good rapport and struggle with Taiwan. An abomination to the chinese.

Matter of fact, Singapore was called upon to assist China with some economic, financial, technological and social policies/support as soon as Deng Xiaoping took over from Mao and the famous four. This call produced produced one of the biggest tech hubs in Asia. As we speak, Singapore is the largest foreign investors in mainland china.

Now, let me give you a little idea of how Singapore developed.

1. Their leaders mapped out sound policies with focus and deadlines.

2. Their leaders had the political will to implement these sound policies.

3. Though they had different races and tribes; their leaders tried to expunge nepotism and corruption. Change began with the Lee kuan Yew's cabinet...not with the masses.

4. The Singaporeans saw the honesty in the leadership of their country, and thereby gave their full support to whatever will move the country forward.

5. Singapore was hugely financed by the Americans as they were training and using Singaporeans to service their war equipments that were used in Vietnam war. It was expensive to fly these equipments back to USA for servicing. This is why Singapore later became a leader in service industry. Ships, aircrafts etc.

6. Singapore also received a lot of loans from the Americans in compensation of allowing them use their land and waters for launching their aircrafts during the war.


Nigeria also received loans and aids from U.K.and USA at the same time with Singapore, SK, Taiwan and HK, but what did they do with it? They squandered it. They had and most still have no morals and no drop of political will.

Singapore was rated lower than DR congo in the 60s.
But today, Singapore is the 3rd largest exporter of refined crude after USA and Norway. Please, note that Singapore has no single drop of crude oil in their land.

So, for how long are we going to keep make excuses for Nigeria? I even hear people talk about how tribes are the problem...and I laugh so hard. Do you know how many tribes Indonesia has? Singapore has many tribes too, but most baffling is that they have about 3 different races. That is worst to keep together than tribes who just look alike but may speak a little different languages.

It was character that was enforced by equal and efficient justice system that developed Singapore and any other developed nation you see today. China didn't develop it for them.

Matter of fact, Singapore developed China.
You deserve my Respect sir.

Nigerian youths open your eyes. Most politicians do not and would never care about us.

Just in power to secure their future and that of their children’s.

Be wise when voting. Look at track record and commitment before voting any thief into power both at the local, state and federal levels

Else, politicians’ children like this boy would come and rule you too while also sending his children abroad for studies and the circle continues.

I'm highly tired of folks blaming Brits for what happened since 1914 ..... The Brits did what was good for them, granted us independence when it was good for them and control our country through the backdoor because it's good for them. I just want to enlightened you , it's just business and it profits Brits !!
Our country better start thinking about what Profit her !!!

The leaders are microcosm of majority of the people, Many folks don't think straight here !!
