Leon Perera asks: Do we have true meritocracy in Singapore?

Leon Perera
I read with interest The Independent Singapore’s Featured News, “Leon Perera asks: Do we have true meritocracy in Singapore?” (Jan 21).
In the first place, meritocracy should not be narrowly termed as the academic success of an individual. Instead, it should broadly embrace an individual’s capability, leadership and resilience in dealing with unexpected adversity in his/her work and life trajectory.
In short, in a society of meritocracy, an individual’s success and status in life depends primarily on individual talents, abilities, effort and luck. It is a social system in which people advance on the basis of their merits.
The Singapore Government has been practicing meritocratic system in its governance since independence. But, over the years, it has inadvertently created structural and cultural drawbacks which unconsciously and unavoidably produced inequality, elitism and worst – cronyism.
In due course, it is preferably that the current meritocracy mechanism (such as the Public Service Commission) could be fine tuned or delicately revamped so that to ensure the thorough assessment and selection processes of top civil servants are seamlessly safeguarded (a secret balloting system to be recommended and implemented for top civil service posts/appointments in order to avert cronyism).
For acute comparison, China has a unique system of selection and election of officials, which Canadian scholar Daniel A. Bell has described as “political meritocracy.”
Unlike Western models, China’s selection of officials is focused on ability and merit.
“Political meritocracy” is the idea that the political system should aim to select and promote leaders with superior qualities, Bell expounded.
This is in line with the Confucian tradition of meritocracy, which is deeply entrenched in Chinese political culture.
Since the independence of the People Republic of China (PRC), China’s state and governance systems is “selecting officials based on integrity and ability and on the basis of merit regardless of background to cultivate more talented individuals”.Anyway, China has cultivated a large number of outstanding political talents with continuous training, practice and assessment. As an old saying in China goes, “It takes seven years to see if a tree can grow into suitable building materials.”
Perhaps, Singapore could seriously consider this model from PRC, thoroughly assesses its worth and then emulates it.

Meritocracy, just like “holistic” or “affordable housing” is only used when PAP feels like it. Otherwise it’s just another word in the dictionary. As so many have said back then, if meritocracy was real then why did they say that the president must be malay thus once again them using the race card as they have done on so many occasions?
Meritocracy and all that other nonsense spewed forth by PAP is only to fool people who want to be fooled.

Singapore has no meritocracy in academic because there are many university graduates who are underemployed and unemployed. I know some first class honours degree graduate, master and PHD earning less than big boss with no degree. Singapore is best describe as money said it all.
Rich people with money earn the most and eat the lion share, not academic success. Rich people depend on employees to make money but employees only get very little portion of the money made. In many companies, it is bootlicker get promoted while hardworking one do the dirty work. So many people are working hard but the ones promoted are not them.There are worse situation where foreigners promote foreigners. Post like managers and CEO given to someone the boss employed from outside the company. In all, there is no work meritocracy.
In government, we know those who win the most votes in election are not PM. Democracy should have those who win most votes as PMs, but dynasty not the same. Those chosen by PM are cabinet ministers and we know they are not the best. Many of them are not popular and win not much votes. Some are very unpopular and hated by many continue to rule with tyranny. I thought must be connection. In the end turn out some cabinet ministers are PM’s classmate and friends. So government as an example has no meritocracy.
In NS, we have white horse, we did not do anything, now we should do something. This is not a small matter because white horse culture is in Singapore. It affects the whole nation’s meritocracy. People with merit has no chance in government when they have different opinions. Potential leaders are not given chance because of requirements like becoming president need race requirements. And eventually there is a backdoor for people to be on top. This is not the way to run a nation. The nation belong to us, the people and not someone who manipulate and bend rules the way they like and make themselves stay at the top.

Singapore pap fool people. If scoring high grades in school makes a person capable , only fools believe that. School and real world are 2 different things. And also how does an engineering graduate at the helm of a major investment Institution? Hoes that relevant to being meritocratic? Meritocracy in layman terms means best man for the job. Not the man with the best grades in school. Like someone said, meritocracy is just a tool for them to consolidate power , form.their own inner circle and shut off any others by implementing an arbitrary criteria to all things.

Heard the China guy only primary school education. And the area he used to served in past nothing outstanding. In the early days, His father asked some party member guy to 關照 the son. The party member guy refused and make it public, causing embarrassment to him and family. When the party member guy passed way, never attend his funeral.
So how his performance currently ? Lack lustre right. Even people protest against him and party.
After 2 terms of anti corruption, still the number of people arrested supersede the past.
In China history is it always the best man for the job? Not true right. Sometimes everybody has high hopes on this crown prince. End up becoming a 暴君 or 昏君.

Or Meritocracy is determined by system?
If two person have the same score, what determines the other person is better?
Just saw a program, it says Singapore is non-democratic country.
If it is true, then what system are we?
If our system is determined by top ‘Elites’, then what determines the qualifications of these elites? If your dad is powerful, there is so much less hardship you need to go through in life.
While most of usre just prisoners on this piece of land we call ‘home’.
Singaporean, you SHOULD not be marrying one another of same citizenship. Singaporean should have foreign spouse. In that way, you will no longer be imprisoned on this fake meritocracy land. The more it says, the more it isn’t.

OLD FOLKS are POORS because when they are YOUNGER THEY SCREW AROUND:
1. they squandered all their monies on woman
2. they squandered all their monies on liquor
3. they squandered all their monies on gambling
4. they squandered all their monies on clubbing (they tot they are like Angmoh of higher class)
After SCREWING AROUND, at OLD AGE they WANT SOCIETY TO BAIL THEM OUT acting pitiful ?
There are many irresponsible people around. They will pretend to be pitiful, NEVER TAKE RESPONSIBILITY for the consequences brought upon by their very own decisions and actions.
THIS IS THEIR CHOICE.
THEY MADE THAT DECISION TO SCREW AROUND
THEY FACE THE THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR CHOICE.

It’s not just about men. Women too.
Thus, it got nothing to do with serving the military. An act of compulsory is like an act of communism.
Being the Singaporean men is the most disadvantage. Need exit permit to leave the country once after 13yrs of age.
So normal until most Singaporean men don’t feel it.
And got no balls to vote out such system which is wrong. Thinking it a must.

Taiwan NS pay to increase!
Private NS rank pay to increase from SG$280 per month to SG$1,100 per month, just slightly fall short of Taiwan min-wage.
Taiwan NS time to increase from 4 months to 12months.
SG Private NS rank pay $580 per month!
SG NS time 24 months plus X years of reservists.
Following the completion of full-time NS, SG men are required to serve up to 40 days of Operationally Ready National Service (ORNS) per year for the duration of their ORNS training cycle till the age of 50 years (for officers) or 40 years (for other ranks).
Singapore labour law:
Up to 9 hours per day or 44 hours a week.
If 44hrs per week, it will be 2288 hrs a year.
For upto 40 days a year doing reservist:
If min 10days of 8 hrs in-camp, 80hrs ÷ 2288hrs = 3.5% of legal productive time.
If out-field reservist upto 40 days of 24hrs, 960hr ÷ 2288hrs = 42% of legal productive time.
Singapore’s prosperity is at the expense of SG men’s time.

1. Why SG NS (24mths) is 2x of Taiwan NS (new 12mths)?
Trying to lies and misled the readers here ?
My answer to you: because Taiwan old short NS duration is insufficient that is why Taiwan abandon the old short NS duration and extend it to the new 12 mths.
SG 24 mths is just enough.
btw, Do you even know Taiwan old short NS duration ?
First, we must go back to Taiwan old short NS duration.
As you said, Taiwan NS (new 12 mths).

Luckily they are not stupid, gullible and naive like you.
My answer:
We must compare both SG and Taiwan NS men CURRENT salary and NOT Taiwan yet to implement newly revised salary.
So, what is Taiwan current NS men salary ? Yes, NT6510 or SGD284.94.

This is the standard of Opposition, when Oppie cannot CONVINCE, Oppie will seek to CONFUSE you. Same as Americunts and Chinacunts.
Well, this is for you. You said it and now it is back to you, swallow back.

Well you can ask Leon Perera or other WP MPs or PSP to propose the topic in next parliament meeting.
Quite sure you can adequately furnished all the infos they req’d.
a WordPress rating system
Nay, you did not.
I provide you a brief history of NS changes for both SG vs TW.
You want to tok past, the past was TW reduces the time on NS significantly.
You want to tok current, the current is SG is 6x longer on NS time not including approx 10~20~30 years of reservist liability.
You want to tok future, SG NS is still much longer than TW even TW increased to 12months.
NS pay? If you wish, we can talk again.
Don’t run away! Don’t be shy, the brief history I put up there is true or not? Facts or not?

Thank you, at least you are better than that free-rider.
However, I won’t bother with these idiots oppos too they are worse than the current ruling party.
They will throw straws in the wind depending on the directions rather than it is right to do so.
That’s why I say Singaporean should not marry among ourselves but get a foreign spouse. Singapore is just a huge prison with facilities.
Depends on ourselves, just change the ruling party everytime will make them hungry. Doesn’t matters they are good or not.

@ Thank you, at least ……
Nay
And what is Taiwan’s past NS numeration in the early days ? Taiwan no reservist training ? Some if not all ?
Afterall Sg is Sg. Taiwan is Taiwan.
Compulsory National service there are several countries. Necessary to compare and follow Taiwan ? Why not Israel ?
NS is a “taboo” subject. On top of sg is …. and below of sg is …
I await to see which MP dare to raise what you mentined in parliament. Or which opposition parties in next GE dare to promise voters if they vote for xxx parties and NS period will be reduced ? Renumeration wise maybe still debatable and still can discuss ?

//Compulsory National service there are several countries. Necessary to compare and follow Taiwan ? Why not Israel ?//
aiyoh. a lot of countries have NS lar ?? by right hor, it is ‘noble’ to partake in NS to defend one’s country lar ?? it is all about social contract and national identity hor (OR we have been made to believe such noble idea ???) ??
the problem with sinkie land is that NS “fix” (playing magic with ???) your braincells lar during a ripe age of 18+++ and after NS, the whole 169th ownself-check-ownself environment ‘fix’ your braincells once again in adulthood ?? that is the BIG BIG difference lar ??? and then hor, the white monkey idiots have open-leg policy and tell you story about foreign talents hor – the white monkey idiots and gang have been defining too many things for too long lar ??
//which opposition parties in next GE dare to promise voters if they vote for xxx parties and NS period will be reduced ?//
aiyoh. when your braincells have been ‘fixed’ (hardwired ??) for a long time, you (or even the voters ???) may become your own impediment to undo / reprogramme your own circuitry lar ?? like hor some people when talking about politick, have to turn their head around to see whether there is any white ghost haunting them or not (that is the level of being daring that daft sinkies have ??) ???

The higher you go, the lesser Singaporean Malays and Singaporean Indians you see. You got to question that.
Our policies aims to lock Singaporeans in so they cannot run out of the island. This is done through 2-2.5 years of NS. Thereafer, reservists call-up at anytime for 2 weeks after completing NS till age 40. If you are an officer, till 50 years old. BTO flats was designed to lock you in with the waiting time. 3.6 years (the earlist to get a BTO HDB flat) to 5 years. On average, 4 years to get a BTO HDB key of the flat. The minimum occupation period further adds another 5 years after getting the flat key before you can sell your flat. In total, PAPigs have locked the Singaporean for at least 11 years into Singapore. By that time, one is stuck within Singapore`s gravitational field and when you realise what has been done to you, it is very likely one finds it hard to even attempt to leave the island.
The key is to keep the populace unthinking and move through the system uncritically before reality hits. Today, we have allowed so many foreigners to become citizens and chronically overcrowd the country to the point it has caused strain, anxiety and stress to our lives.
That`s the hard truth.

TRex, I totally agree and in-line with your thoughts.
And the 30 yrs housing loan simply locked up unthinking Singaporeans until they turned useless and deemed unproductive to the country.
The invisible cuffs sunk into the fresh and soul. Hard, not easy, but not impossible to break free if we are still young and aware.

Free-rider, I am no fan of oppos given them sufficient power, they are just another ruling party. And stop behaving like gangster asking for balls as if yourself need extras.
No one in politics will speak up for Singaporean males, we just got to vote with our feet. Or else those those grab driver, panda food uber eat will be your career.
May be not.
When EV is matured, AI driving becomes a reality, which will be in 20 years time, you may not even have the luxury for such delivery jobs.
Just like my uncle used to say, if you don’t study hard, you will deliver night soil. Nay, want also no chance now!
This is your life:
4~20 years old : prisoner of school
20~60 years old : prisoner of loans
30~50 years old : prisoner of your child and old parents
SG male : prisoner almost whole life on NS

Please print and share to garner more votes for our great PAP.
Like PAP Mandate Strong said, ask the Opposition to campaign to remove NS or cut NS to 4 months like Taiwan and see if Opposition dare or not.

Whether Free-rider answered the questions, you be the judge.
And Singapore is the ONLY place on Earth that requires EXIT PERMIT on the MALE citizen.

We should adjust the meritocracy algorithm for university admission and civil service recruitment. Instead of using sum of all subjects, we can give higher weights to the graduate’s best subject.
In US, top civil servants and appointment holders are often recruited from private sector. E.g. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken are from Pine Island Capital Partners.

It`s so obviously Chinese priviledge. PAPigs spent lots of money on bombarding Sinkies with hype marketing that SG is great when in fact, that is not necessarily the case. When there is no freedom of expression, speech or human rights advocates, it`s not a full life. It`s a thought prison. It`s a golden chain and increasingly many have to relent and say bopian lor. Even older civil servants have to rationalise to themselves how to quit and leave, where can get this kind of money outside, and they just bite the bullet and endure till retirement while fighting shitty office politics that keeps adding pressure. That`s why Sinkies are not happy deep down because they know the real root cause is govie`s devious policies.

There is a Chris Reed from Black Marketing
seems to be engaged by Sg to promote colonization plan.
His job is to tell the West, etc not to employ Singaporeans, bring in immi.
so as to perpetuate dynasty.
No country does this.
He says Sgpn are entitled.
How come immi has more benefits?
Who are Free Riders leeching on Sgpn?
See his LinkedIn remarks.
So who benefit?
New citizens took the jobs
SPR mostly employed by govt
*Are your investments in trouble?*
*Is your country in trouble?*
According to these msin immi law, econs, etc educated in UK LSE with many flawed, biased thoughts, saying all opposite stuff.
Little wonder Sg is in trouble.
Sg employed most of them.

all trade wa r done more coming actually
Many new immigrants love to call themselves Singaporeans.
In reality, he has probably employed mostly new citizens.
No one asks for high pay for a start except indy – says they are worth x more.
This is created by Li.than to look good himself, give FT good impression. Brought in heaps of scammers. Indy also created some cushy adverts for their foreign recruitment.
But those SPR not paid CPF certainly ask for more cash.
So has high turnover to get faster pay increase, enabled by Lee, Wong.

Reason for Taiwan proposed NS extension is due to aid of new equipments given. This is suggested by politician, not proposed by the Ministry of Defence who had previously reduced the training period needed. Neither is there agreement of the citizens.
Like Ukraine, there was mention of $50m being paid to some party to engage in war.
