Old Friend – Thanks for the link. I watched the whole video. It was very enlightening. Seems like culture is the main driver of successful entrepeneurship.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

An Old Friend: You are a wise person who is too humble.

But I beg to differ, in terms of mindset. In a small country like Sg, Israel, etc, every single brain and soul counts. Irregardless their profession, religion and background.

We are taught about delegating all our trust to a certain group of people (almost to the extend of 99%). This is valid in the past, but not now and not in the future. It is the collective responsibility to ensure that this trust is based on fact, meritocracy, and proper accountability. Both in terms of past action, current result, and policies for future. Because it is the most fundamental pillar for us to survive.

In this case, I’ll say-

不在其位，不谋其政

which means “one who does not hold an office does not discuss its policies”, or so I think. Better translation welcomed.

It contradicts the fact that I’m here and posting…. and that’s not to say it’s not by business… it’s my country so it hurts if things fail.

It’s just that in this case, I know too little, and my understanding too shallow… so it’s unfair for me to comment. The same goes with climate change where the science eludes me so I won’t be in a hurry to comment if we ever go there…

But that’s not to say concerned citizens should not discuss the ESC report. It’s just me…

An Old Friend,

Great speech by Mr D. Thanks.
By the way, based on points from that book, what is your view to Sing’s nation building?

One of the big things of the ESC report was to go underground. Guess you ought to be proud of your government and yourselves if you live in an apartment at Hell Level Basement-18! When enough Singaporeans are driven down to the hell levels, more properties on the surface of the earth can be relinquished to accommodate still more foreigners. With the help of this report, I am convinced that Singapore can achieved the 6.5 million “optimum” population target set by our beloved government! The productivity should also improve automatically since we can work no day no night underground – anyone dares to think otherwise may risk having their air turned off!

Well, I’d think there is one aspect of nation building that we can learn from Israel:
