To abandon them in favour of just material concerns/returns is I think, betraying our own humanity.<br /><br />Sadly I think we too often do just that in Singapore.gigamolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18328852130774608540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125857314165645951.post-21650830088637167182010-01-29T19:04:01.484-08:002010-01-29T19:04:01.484-08:00Giga, wotever we may think of Singapore/Singaporea...Giga, wotever we may think of Singapore/Singaporeans, most of us at least are not hypocritical. We dare to show the skull beneath the skin where other people (esp the Americans) speak of ideals when basically it's still abt $$$$ in the end, but packaged so slickly that no one -- OK, few -- will dare to point out that the emperor has no clothes.<br /><br />Frankly, where Haiti is concerned, where was the world be4 the earthquake struck? Fr goodness sake, that country's been living with more than 70% of its population surviving on less than USD1 a day (as that's an average, many must have survived on less than that). <br /><br />Apres the earthquake, every do-gooder has joined in the fray to do good, thus adding to the chaos when a more calm and collected approach might have been more effective and efficient.auntieluciahttp://singaporegirl.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125857314165645951.post-64352257573940720712010-01-27T23:23:17.351-08:002010-01-27T23:23:17.351-08:00"We are ethical, not because we think being e..."We are ethical, not because we think being ethical is important on its own merit, but because we want to be accredited and be recognized internationally, because it brings in the R&D $$$."<br /><br />in other words, if you have no economic value to me, you can't be my spouse or even friend.<br /><br />we all use each other and that's why i don't like people - in general LOLAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125857314165645951.post-13813734000614780512010-01-27T04:41:40.922-08:002010-01-27T04:41:40.922-08:00we believe in $we believe in $Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125857314165645951.post-22900478694270709382010-01-26T07:21:20.877-08:002010-01-26T07:21:20.877-08:00Thanks.
