We are working at least twice as hard to post but getting paid nothing.
If you pay someone a million bucks, you would expect results.
But for Singapore, the only results point towards GDP and economic growth.
We all know the story of how our ministerial salaries are determined by economic growth, and its this times of crisis that we see how flawed it is.
Even projects like Gardens by the Bay or the Singapore Flyer were created with tourism in mind. Everything is tied and linked to $$.
Singapore's Environment Minister Dr Vivian Balakrishnan said that "for too long, commercial interests in Indonesia have been allowed to override environmental concerns". - Time to proof your worth your salt.
“The burning is taking place in Indonesia. What do you think Singapore can do about that?” Dr Vivian Balakrishnan wrote. - Such a defensive statement.
Southeast Asia's haze problem hit its worst level in 1997-1998, causing widespread health problems and costing the regional economy billions of dollars as a result of business and air transport disruptions. -Rappler.com - If anything, they better act on this statement.
Ultimately,will the wind do more for us than the government and eventually blow away the haze?
