vendredi, janvier 21, 2005 Quick Comment: CapitaLand partners rival casino operators in two separate bids Capitaland article here.Why bother calling us a democratic republic? "... Western definition...assumes a democratic political structure in which competing groups seek legitimacy and power through public opinions and elections... particularly difficult to discern are emerging democracies where alternative views may be encouraged in theory but not in practice..." I don't think we'd like to see ourselves as an "emerging democracy", however, it seems that this is the way that the wheel we set spinning has turned. Everyone I know is against the casino - even my friends who sit on the fence sit facing and leaning towards the "No" camp. I can imagine that this is the reason why they're so eager to increase the retirement age - can you imagine the social disaster which would occur if our GREYING POPULATION were to retire at 62, then proceed to gamble away their CPF in Sentosa two days later? We're allowed to vote for the president, and I think we should be allowed to vote on something else: we should have a referendum on this. (How does one go about doing this? The last referendum I recall was the Singapore-Malaysia merger or separation, and nobody says anything about who calls it.)
