Everyone is entitled to their opinions and i do respect other's viewpoint, so i shall not comment on the other points raised, right or wrong, but except to correct factually the fallacy of one quoted above about 'same set of variables...'
It is a common complaint used by lazy politicians who think that their flock are docile and do not know how to rationalize for themselves, to sieve thru the facts from stupidity excuse giving notions. They the politicians bleat the same argument regularly.
Since Singapore had always been the scapegoat, then i shall use singapore as an example of plain management common sense. Singapore is just a tiny red dot, and yet, it has various and multiple districts, each headed by qualified but severely scrutinized government servants in the various field and disciplines to serve the population. Each district serves and is directly answerable to its constituents as well as the legislative.
This method has proven successful for 42 years without ANY natural resources other than a port and hardworking pragmatic people, and should one extrapolate on the expansion of such management principles to a larger landmass, who dares say Singapore wouldn’t be as successful? After all, we are pragmatic folks, and rely on facts and figures instead of emotions and hearsays. We have the necessary results to back the statement. But i cant say the same for our neighbour, even if they were to manage just an atoll on Bikini island.
It's human nature to be greedy, but greed can be kept in check. In an equal society, the one who rises above others will be subjected to public scrutiny. No one is spared, not even the ones who claim to be friends of ministers or head a charity foundation.
Thus, do away with the small red dot management comparison against a large land mass. It's so cliché bothering almost onto being nonsensical.
Furthermore, the politician that gave that excuse is slapping his own face for he revealed his and his party's inadequate management, and deserved to be replaced for failing to do the job of governing his country with his party.
Rather, study how it can be done and perfected, if one is truly keen to serve the country as a population leader.
