It is bad to tell children all their faults and mistakes without telling
them why and what they should do not to repeat their mistakes and to
better themselves. Children do not often have the intellect to think out
solutions and answers. Pointing out their mistakes would not make them
become better. They are children after all and are at the bottom of the
learning curve. Children need guidance and hand holding.
Adults are slightly different. Adults, even those who have average
intelligence, are able to work out their problems without much
difficulty unless it is beyond them. Just tell them where they have gone
wrong, their mistakes, and that would be good enough for them to work
things out in most cases, unless they are really dull or recalcitrant,
refusing to change for the good.
Then there are very intelligent adults. Actually such intellects should
know what they are doing and should not be making mistakes or simple
mistakes or obvious mistakes or silly mistakes. Super talents are not
called super talents for nothing. But being human, it is forgiveable
that sometimes they do make mistakes, intentionally or unintentionally,
or because of greed or vested interests or due to group think or
whatever.
Mistakes or bad decisions are made by super talents now and then. And
very likely they know what they are doing, that they are doing wrongs.
The people, the cynics, the concerned citizens, often spent long hours
trying to tell the super talents that some things are not right, not
necessarily wrong. I think, given the fact that they are super talents, a
little prompting should be more than adequate for them to work out
better solutions. Is there really a need for the daft, the average and
the not too talented to offer solutions to the super talents? If this is
the case then something is seriously wrong. It is like those who can
see asking the blind how to cross the road.
And why should the daft offer free solutions to those who are paid millions to do their jobs?
Often we heard from the super talents and the pretenders demanding the
average Sinkies to not just complain, but to come out with solutions. Is
this a reasonable expectation? Is it not enough to point out the
faults, the flaws and the mistakes for the super talented to move on?
They are super talents you know? Are the super talents expecting to be
spoon fed by the daft? It is crazy, right?
The super talents should be very grateful that the daft are kpkb
everyday about their daft policies and decisions. The only reason why
they are not coming up with better solutions and demanding solutions
from the daft is likely that they knew that the better solutions will
not be what they want or what they think is right. The daft should not
be patronizing to think they know better than the super talents. And the
super talents should not act daft to demand the daft to offer their
daft solutions.
As for the many pretenders, please, there is no need to be the
spokespersons of the super talents to parrot and demand the daft to
offer solutions instead of criticism. The criticisms are good enough for
the super talents to pick up from there and come up with better
solutions if the intention is there. Think about it.

I came up with a solution.
I voted for the Opposition so that the Opposition can help the PAPigs come up with solutions in Parliament.
The Singapore Parliament.
The mother of all National Conversations.
It's not just talk in the parliament.
The votes in parliament can make Singapore better.
IMO there is a glaring lack of intellectual rigour on both sides. (Super Talents -- aka STs and the Sheeple)
I'm willing to give the hoi polloi, your-average-Sheeple a pass, because critical thinking skills need to be learned and practiced. It takes time and effort to gain these skill, and as long as there are people still burning offerings to their dead, or looking to the invisible sky-fairy for "answers", or going to the pharmacy to buy "de-tox products" (aka expensive bullshit) you know there is a paucity of critical/ rational thought amongst the Sheeple.
However it is inexcusable for those so-called STs and their super-salary plus super directorship fees to not employ critical thought and exhibit intellectual rigour -- especially when many of them are trained in the sciences and engineering.
The public bascially comprises 2 broad generalised groups:
1) The Sheeple -- people who cannot think for themselves and thus need to be led, or misled as the case might be. These folks make errors and blame everything and everyone but themselves and their thinking.
2) The Clever Cunts (CCs) -- people who think for themselves as a default, make errors, learn from errors and adjust themselves. These CCs are usually trained in the sciences, math and engineering, but can hail from other fields as well.
As long as Singapore retains their CCs, the mother cuntry is safe from the harmful effects of The Sheeple and the STs.

Hi matilah, you may not be among those who still burn offerings to the death and gods but please do not insult them.
Among those still going these all Intellectuals, managers and even CEOs who bidder nearly 500k for their beliefs.
@Virgo49:
Where have I "insulted" them?
I merely said that if you do such things you're not thinking critically/ rationally.
If you call that an "insult" you need to attend a class in remedial English. Contact your local Community Center for help.

@223:
If you think I'm "outstanding" you must have very low standards.
Please raise the bar. Your cuntry will ultimately benefit. ;-)
Asking sinkies to come out with solutions? They are pretending as always. They have created the problem so that they can carry out those solutions that will help them to suck in millions 'legally' while implementing those solutions. They are the elites, they are trained to do things this way. Just go through all the details of the solutions they implemented in the last ten years, which one did not make them more wealthier? But naive people still support them. So continue to be screwed.
Dear Millionaire Ministers.
In view of haze, dengue fever, floods etc. taking you by surprise before in the past.
What is your plan in the event of nuclear contamination from Japan's Fukushima reactors washing up on Singapore's beaches?

In my opinion they are just intelligent people ... happen to become leaders in our society . Yes , some made good decisions ; some do not made any ; some made bad decisions and mistakes here and there . But if one will to look at it the macro scale ... they are not doing too bad after all , for the Singapore economy . Because of their super million dollars salaries ... most people expect them to perform better in order to deserve their takes .
One thing can be quite obvious is that they do not like being told of certain mistakes or flaws in their policies . Any such feedbacks and remarks from the ordinary Sinkies are treated as criticisms or anti-government sentiments from some opposition corners . Such conceptual thoughts in them ... I am the best or I know best ; don't tell me what to do , serve only to defeat themselves and the trust of the people who voted for them . If only they can take constructive criticisms in good stride and this criticism is not met with the antagonism by them ; the government.
Singapore ! Still have hope .
Please learn something from the old guards , young men .... Singaporeans have no problem with the earlier Ministers ; they do not do it your ways .
Hope and hope .
The old guard chose the old fart who chose these new Ministers.
