Either way, I don’t recall talking about the collapse of the Persian Empire as a result of that battle. I had simply disagree with the assessment that the use of ‘foreign’ conscripts was one of the cause of the defeat.

You are free to disagree with me, however. Not that it matters at all what you are saying.

I apologize about your earlier comment. Akisment sent it to the spam bin.

A kind of a crutch mentality but with much deeper social-economic narcotic dependence.

I am that blogger you are referring to.

My post was jesting in tone but it was meant to be satirical.

The social fabric that holds us to this island has ripped significantly with the MIW’s approach to run the country as a souless corporation.

What does duty, honour and country mean to male citizens who are treated so poorly as to receive extra responsibilities but few commensurate rights as citizens?

Singapore is a hotel. Make no mistake. It is a place where you can stay for a short-time, do your business/job/career and pack up and go when you are finished.

As citizens you are not significantly treated any better than immigrants who come in without having to serve their corresponding liabilities.

Your 4NTM, IPPT, SOC, RT, BATP, OPS Manning etc count for little when you are trying to prevent immigrants who competing for your job on unequal terms as your own value as an employee gets damaged by SAF100s because organisations cannot rely on your to be AROUND.

This country lost its soul when the MIW demonstrated its true face… the face of MONEY above all other values.

Majullah Singapura.

The role of history is something that too few of us actually have studied till an admirable extent.

If we fail to take heed to history, then we will repeat the mistakes of the past.

Sometimes, there’s too much engineers and not enough visionaries at play.
