April's Fools Day Minister: Lim Swee Say

Minister Lim Swee Say talking rubbish. You can get away with these nonsense among young students but unfortunately for him this has been printed for all of us to read.

I quote him:

Singaporeans should offer a mindset and values which are 'uniquely Singapore', as that is 'our biggest strength'.

'We learn from the best of the West, we learn the best of the East, we put them together (using an) eclectic approach, and adapt it,' said Mr Lim.

Even if we could offer something uniquely Singaporean, it would be useful only for our unique situation. It is always a lot of work to adapt what is tried elsewhere, i.e., we have much competition.

At least I don't think the KI students in the JCs bought his inane suggestion.

By the way only city states can use an eclectic approach. If a big country would to try, it would lose control and chaos would be the result.

Oh, this is an apt entry for April's Fools Day.
