Eat yr hearts out, and bang yr balls in frustration, KennethJ, EJay, Goh Meng Seng and other S’porean critics who hate all things PAP even when they work and are to the benefit of S’poreans: an African wants to model his hometown on S’pore (the S’pore before Raymond Lim and Mah Bow Tan messed up throughly its infrastructure; and the S’pore before the PAP let in the FTs in by the cattle truck load to overrun the likes of SGX, DBS, SMRT, and Geylang.)
Nimrod Mushi is a lecturer at Ardhi university, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and is one of the experts commissioned by the government to produce a “master plan” to overhaul the city’s infrastructure. Singapore is his role model, and he favours big projects to clear slums and build bridges, roads and out-of-town settlements.
“When we went to Singapore, we could see their satellite towns, their ring-roads, their skyscrapers and their decentralised services, and it’s working very nicely there,” he says.
You know how many african leaders had said the same thing last decades?
From Nepal to India, to China..they all said that.
Just look at where they still are..
And quite honestly, SIN is not the model for them.
On a small enough scale, it might work with tight control.
On a big enough scale, no amount of tight control can work.
It takes a very compliant daft citizens like sinkies to give ALL your rights to one-party rule.
You have no leverage, put all your eggs in one basket, then expect it to be one-size fits all, then KPKB..you decide your own tragedy.
Well,for a continent where most governments and people seem to cliam that China has the best capitalists and government in he world today,what else can we expect?And they might be right too!
