The Blues

Recently during an Election Rally, a minority candidate(who forgot his form!)from the Blues said that Singapore is a First World Country but doesn't have a First World Government. Lets call this chap, Mr G, Mr G from the Blues. There might be some truth in what he said as there is little freedom of speech and true democracy in this country(honestly I would not want to live to see it) but i identified discrepancies among his views. From independence till now, 41 long years, the ruling party has never changed, which started from then-PM Lee and his 'generals' that steered the nation from Third world to First. What actually shaped the nation's development is how well the government had been implementing policies to unite the people towards nation building and transforming the nation's economy. So for a Singapore to be First World, a lot of credit goes to the leaders(after independence) of the country,so on what grounds does Mr G claim that the government is not First World? Also, the fine education Mr G received definitely comes from a good system that was implemented by a First World country, which take roots from a First World government, perhaps he could had been more grateful in his remarks about the government not being First World- Josh
