Very interesting article.
No doubt our politicians could do well in 'studying' how things are done there. The cautionary tale is there must be a reason why snippets of a not too pleasant underbelly seeps out.
How many on a personal level would embrace the trade-off to living in this lap of luxury with the 'cost' of doing so? Perhaps 'the kicker' would be always having the option of retiring in a more 'happy' country?
Much to admire about the Singapore story. Surely there must be much to ape by our Jamaica leaders."Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."Comment

Must be the fear of success?"It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men" - Frederick DouglassComment

That may or may not be so. I don't know.I believe that for most persons the more financially comfortable they become the harder they work.
I believe that the majority of people do not want to be on public assistance. However for a far too large minority I believe it is not so. Large enough for public policy to address.
My view: If you are UNABLE to work then living off public assistance should attempt to give you as comfortable a life as possible. For those who live off public assistance AS A CHOICE (and there are many who do) , life should be bearable but not comfortable.Last edited by Islandman; March 1, 2014, 03:18 PM."It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men" - Frederick DouglassComment

<Theirs was a relaxed culture. The people were full of song and dance, spoke eloquently, danced vigorously and drank copiously. Hard work they had left behind with slavery.">
And that was 40 years ago.. imagine today after decades of mendicancy..
Wake up.
