PAP seems to think that all foreign professionals with a couple of years of experience are talents they are after. Ask the colleagues even in the universities whether these imported PAP talents are genuinely that good and you will be surprised.
Many consider most of them are just ordinary young persons with a few years of experience but perhaps more vocal and more daring and confidence when speaking on things that they really know little about. In other words, they have a better skill in conning as it is the life of the West particularly in Indian subcontinent (ie the Indians, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh), PRC young generation trying to find a way up and would do anything just to achieve their goal as in character like the recently uncovered con, thief and faker in the case of conning the elderly rich widow, the Americans and the Aussis much less from UK, the tradition European countries.
Britain’s stiff upper lips especially those from rags to richness but yet having inferiority complexes like the recent Casey! Many of this group including Casey rides on PAP”s constant insidious remarks on the citizenry, the worst being daft Singaporeans and Singapore has no talents and stirring their arrogance and their intrinsic scumbag behaviour which their inferiority complex has long suppressed them in their own countries.
This is the damage PAP has done to Singaporeans which will not take root if Singaporeans have the same fiery vocal and action characteristics of populace of other countries. In Thailand, Taiwan, Britain, France, India, Pakistan and even PRC, PAP would have long been dragged to ground and wiped out by the populace right from the first insidious remark it made on the citizenry.
PAP has escaped such onslaught but their arrogance has blinded them to their good fortune to have a peace focused populace and continues to take advantage. There is always a limit to human restrain and hopefully PAP will be voted out of power before such thing reaches it breaking point which Singaporeans pray would never happens!
The scumbags and ordinariness of PAP imported talents extend also into the academics. The recent fraudulent publication scam which NUS has freed all his co authors from liabilities is just another scam. If those in the high management teams are really men of honours, they being free riding co-authors of the fraudulent publication would have the integrity to resign but they didn’t showing the type of calibre they have. This is damaging to the tertiary education showing that to get benefits from zero contribution is acceptable to NUS academics. If such trait and belief are firmly inculcated in the graduates, we maybe producing a generation of cheats and cons among the tertiary educated professionals. A grim perspective but it will happen.
Only LKY would not have any idea why this happens as he has asked similar question in his mid life. Yes among the FTs PAP imported, there are really very few who can be considered as valuable talents.
Talents really only a few
