Like late Dr Goh spoting flaws and re-generating young uncorrupted officer tobe back in civil service and run govt agency and army, should have burning passion to love their country pple's, like Dr Goh (RIP) pick on next cream for the most able to lead and as a result es-Preimer. Mr Goh Cheok Tong is pick by the new (next) generation of leaders, FYI - the newest pick is DPM Teo. Even his system is been tested thou..time and it work well here. Much thk to the late Dr Goh Keng Swee.. The Thais king once when young and strong, can unite his kingdom pple's. He should at his pink healthy life, spoted flaws and bring in un-corrupted officers to help him run his kingdom. But now isit a little to late even if he is willing ??.

Teeth said: The system run by PAP for 50 over years has thought us to do so - money. nothing but money. Reply: Nowadays many countries are learning this way. Look at them. From China and other countries travelling thousands of miles away from home and only thinking of nothing but money. teeth53 - That is always the true saying, is all about only (paper-value) money, communist, socialist, left, right, middle thinkers Conservative, Liberal Democrat, whatever they can call themself, is has been practice many thousand years back. We are lucky, the poor or poorest had many channels to help them, the govt must be seen tobe able to assist giving help to help themself/oneself. RIP - Dr Goh again. We give tools and teach them how tobe use it productively, so that they can produce for whatever things that like to feed us and help us to run things better. |

You can't blame most people for becoming self-centered or thinking of themselves only... Peope normally learn ethics from others ... Even young but thinking and smart children will learn by example... So it is not easy to bluff children if ethical adults don't show the good ways to them by example... The key word here is example... |

Dr Goh Keng Swee is born in Malacca. A born visionary and a brilliant economist ahead of his time, his generation, 50 years ago, setting his delication to singapore and laying his policies to see that tree grow and bear fruits, thus many future generation for us enjoy eating it. It will be rare, very rare to find another Dr Goh to oversea singapore like he did. His legacy in spoting flawed, analytical maid and leaving his fingerprint on most of the Singapore institutions, becoming Finance Ministry in 1969 and with only S$300 million in reserves. One of the greatest and brilliant setup is Economy Development Board (EDB) in 1961, whom he call in to assist, the UN term lead by Dutch economist Albert Winsemiusand. EDB spawned several other more instutitions and divisions. Development Bank of Singapore (DBS), Jurong Industries Corporation (JTC), a 9,000 acre swampland in Jurong, and later in over seeing setting up Monetray Authority of Singapore (MAS) in 1971 by combining nine former govt departments into one unified entity, it pivotal role is as central bank and financial regulators, including seting up GIC (1981) and Temasek Holdings (1974). Dr Goh made his economic ideas works for the benefit of ordinary Singaporeans, it discipline a string of strong and regulated regulation on making Sing Dollars strong till today international standards of practice and up lifting our living standard base on the strength of our Sing dollars. History will always remember him for doing so much for we ownd him, across so many fields, just to one man: Dr Goh keng Swee. |

Dr Goh is more than a HERO, his contributions to Singapore and singaporeans at large will not be forgotten. While it is sad at the passing of a great man, let us stand up and salute him on 23rd May as he makes his final tour of Singapore. | ||||

A man whom always, his 1st job is, entered the Civil Service to focus on social welfare issues and after war In 1946, he joined the Department of Social Welfare, and was active in post-war administration. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goh_Keng_Swee Unlike DR Goh generation. This day every one is for himself / herself. The system run by PAP for 50 over years has thought us to do so - money. nothing but money. |

树欲静而风不息, 子欲养而亲不在啊, 又一个感人的交代! 媳妇说:"煮淡一点你就嫌没有味道,现在煮咸一点你却说咽不下。你究竟怎想怎么样?" 母亲一见儿子回来,二话不说便把饭菜往嘴里送。她怒瞪他一眼。 他试了一口,马上吐出来, 儿子说:"我不是说过了吗,妈有病不能吃太咸!" "那好!妈是你的,以后由你来煮!"媳妇怒气冲冲地回房。 儿子无奈地轻叹一声,然后对母亲说:"妈,别吃了,我去煮个面给你?" "仔,你是不是有话想跟妈说,是就说好了,别憋在心里!" "妈,公司下个月升我职,我会很忙,至于老婆,她说很想出来工作,所以......" 母亲马上意识到儿子的意思:"仔,不要送妈去老人院。"声音似乎在哀求。 儿子沉默片刻,他是在寻找更好的理由。 "妈,其实老人院并没有甚么不好?知道老婆一但工作,一定没有时间好好服侍。老人院有吃有住有人服侍照顾, 不是比在家里好得多吗?" "可是,阿财叔他......" 洗了澡,草草吃了一碗方便面,儿子便到书房去。他茫然地伫立于窗前,有些犹豫不决。母亲年轻便守寡,含辛茹苦将他抚养成人,供他出国读书。但她从不用年轻时的牺牲当作要胁他孝顺的筹码,反而是妻子以婚姻要胁他!真的要让母亲住老人院吗?他问自己,他有些不忍。 "可以陪你下半世的人是你老婆,难道是你妈吗?"阿财叔的儿子总是这样提醒他。 "你妈都这么老了,好命的话可以活多几年,为何不趁这几年好好孝顺她呢?树欲静而风不息, 子欲养而亲不在啊!"亲戚总是这样劝他。 儿子不敢再想下去,深怕自己真的会改变初衷。 ______ 晚,太阳收敛起灼热的金光,躲在山后憩息。 一间建在郊外山岗的一座贵族老人院。几个衣着一样,发型一样的老妪歪歪斜斜地坐在发沙上,神情呆滞而落寞。有个老人在自言自语,有个正缓缓弯下腰,想去捡掉在地上的一块饼干吃。几名护士推着坐在轮椅的老者在夕阳下散步,四周悄然寂静得令人心酸。 儿子知道母亲喜欢光亮,所以为她选了一间阳光充足的房间。从窗口望出去,树荫下, 一片芳草如茵。 "妈,我......我要走了!"母亲只能点头。 他走时,母亲频频挥手,她张着没有牙的嘴,苍白干燥的咀唇在嗫嚅着,一副欲语还休的样子。儿子这才注意到母亲银灰色的头发,深陷的眼窝以及打着细褶的皱脸。母亲,真的老了! 他回到家,妻子与岳母正疯狂的把母亲房里的一切扔个不亦乐乎。身高3英寸的奖杯──那是他小学作文比赛《我的母亲》第1名的胜利品!华英字典──那是母亲整个月省吃省用所买给他的第1份生日礼物!还有母亲临睡前要擦的风湿油,.....? "够了,别再扔了!"儿子怒吼道。 "这么多垃圾,不把它扔掉,怎么放得下我的东西。" 岳母没好气地说。 "就是嘛!你赶快把你妈那张烂床给抬出去,我明天要为我妈添张新的!" "它们是我妈的财产,一样也不能丢!" "你这算甚态度?对我妈这么大声,我要你向我妈道歉!" (楼主注:这算什么儿子,把自己的母亲送到养老院,然后把岳母接来住,要就一起去送,要就留自己的母亲) "我娶你就要爱你的母亲,为甚么?嫁给我就不能爱我的母亲? " 雨后的黑夜分外冷寂,街道萧瑟,行人车辆格外稀少。一辆宝马在路上飞驰,频频闯红灯,陷黄格,呼一声又飞驰而过。那辆轿车一路奔往山岗上的那间老人院,停车直奔上楼,推开母亲卧房的门。他幽灵似地站着,母亲正抚摸着风湿痛的双腿低泣。 她见到儿子手中正拿着那瓶风湿油, 显然感到安慰的说:"妈忘了带,幸好你拿来!"他走到母亲身边,跪了下来。 "很晚了, 妈自己擦可以了,你明天还要上班,回去吧!" 他嗫嚅片刻,终于忍不住啜泣道:"妈,对不起,请原谅我!我们回家去吧!" ~~后语~~ 随着自己愈长大,看着父母亲脸庞从年轻变憔悴,头发从乌丝变白发,动作从迅捷变缓慢,多心疼!父母亲总是将最好、最宝贵的留给我们,像蜡烛不停的燃烧自己,照亮孩子!而我呢?有没有腾出一个空间给我的父母,或者只是在当我需要停泊岸时,才会想起他们...... 其实父母亲要的真的不多,只是一句随意的问候「爸、妈,你们今天好吗?」随意买的宵夜,煮一顿再普通不过的晚餐,睡前帮他们盖盖被子, 天冷帮他们添衣服、戴手套....都能让他们高兴温馨很久。有时,我常在想:我希望我的子女以后如何对我。那现在,我有没有如此对待我的父母?我相信,人是环环相扣的;现在,你如何对待你的父母;以后,你的子女就如何待你。 朋友,人世间最难报的就是父母恩,愿我们都能:以反哺之心奉敬父母,以感恩之心孝顺父母! ~共勉之~ 生命不要求我们成为最好的,只要求我们作最大的努力! 老人安养院墙上发现的一篇文章 孩子!当你还很小的时候,我花了很多时间,教你慢慢用汤匙、用筷子吃东西。教你系鞋带、扣扣子、溜滑梯、教你穿衣服、梳头发、拧鼻涕。这些和你在一起的点点滴滴,是多么的令我怀念不已。所以,当我想不起来,接不上话时,请给我一点时间,等我一下,让我再想一想......极 可能最后连要说什么,我也一并忘记。孩子!你忘记我们练习了好几百回,才学会的第一首娃娃歌吗?是否还记得每天总要我绞尽脑汁,去回答不知道你从哪里冒出 来的吗?所以,当我重复又重复说着老掉牙的故事,哼着我孩提时代的儿歌时,体谅我。让我继续沉醉在这些回忆中吧!切望你,也能陪着我闲话家常吧!孩子,现 在我常忘了扣扣子、系鞋带。吃饭时,会弄脏衣服,梳头发时手还会不停的抖,不要催促我,要对我多一点耐心和温柔,只要有你在一起,就会有很多的温暖涌上心 头。 孩子!如今,我的脚站也站不稳,走也走不动。所以,请你紧紧的握着我的手,陪着我,慢慢的。就像当年一样,我带着你一步一步地走。 若为人子女也不懂得如何体谅他们,那他们便只能于痛苦中渡过余生,黑暗中逝去...... |
