Singapore Permanent Residents medical subsidies are going to be slash (See Attachment #1 below).
Is this good news for Singaporeans ?
Will this make Singaporeans happy ?

A few points I like to “Big Talk” below…

Singapore Resident Committee is running a membership deficit ! (See Attachment #1)
Blame who ?
Blame Singaporean lor, not enough babies mah.
There may be more than meets the eye.

Let me Big Talk on some of the possible reasons…

Chinese New Year is approaching and there will be many people out in the street celebrating.
As usual, we should expect an increased in the number of drunk drivers, so watch out !

I saw an article in “Today” newspaper and I think we should implement it in Singapore (Attachment #1).

For the “Super Rich” , we should peg some of our driving fines to their income.
The obvious reason is that fines are mean to deter people.
The “Super Rich” being “Super Rich” will not feel the pinch of the fines at all, so fine is obviously not a deterrent to them.

Remember the news  where a Shin Min News editor got away with just 1 day jail and $2000 fines ?
All these from causing traffic accident, injuring a motorcyclist and killing the pillion
(http://bigtalksingapore.wordpress.com/2009/04/18/shin-min-daily-news-editor-got-1-day-jail-for-causing-accident/).

In the news editor case, I would “Big Talk” the following….

China has about 4000 officials who ran away with US$50 billion stolen fund (Attachment #1).
Most of them are hiding in developed nations like United State and Australia.
How about Singapore ?
Any of them hiding here ?

This reminded me of an article I saw in Newsweek, 7 May 2007 Page 5 (See Attachment #2).

The issue of citizen vs foreigner have and will always be a topic of contention in every countries.
Singapore is not spare, just look at the recent talk about differentiating between Singapore citizen and PR (Permanent Resident) (See Attachment #1).
Manage well and it will strengthen the nation.
Manage badly and it will break it.

Today, I will take a “Big Look” on this topic and try to “Big Talk” my way out of it.
Hopefully, we can find a win-win situation.

I will be looking at the value of Singapore Citizenship (as compare to PR) using the SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat) analysis.

I just bought a new Canon Powershot SX20 IS camera at Sitex 2009.

To test its capability, I did a simple video shot (High Definition 1080 x 720p) around Jurong Point Shopping Mall.
