Let me share a story with everyone.

Once upon a time, there is a kingdom where everyone can vote for their Leader.
Just before election, they promise a lot of good stuffs but they really did deliver it in the end.
After election, they will explain to the people that many things have to be paid for as the nation cannot supply that much help.

For transport, there are private and public transport.
The Councilors are smart. They want to let more taxes be collected from all various ways and be kept in the treasury for emergency use( such as war, since they are always in war) so they came out with a plan.

Private transport - They tax heavily on private transport as they want to take more money from the rich instead of taking money from everyone.
Public transport - They always try to keep the transport cheap by giving concession or some other help.

Here is the ironic part. When many people can afford private transport they tax more, forcing more people to take public transport.
When there are too many people in public transport, they have to up the fare as more labor and services increase.
So this cycle remains and it persist through out their life.

leaflet spread around by the country officials help to brainwash everyone in the kingdom that they are receving their best! Their tone and words use help in changing the people’s mindset. They often like to use what communicators call “ambiguity : When not making sense makes sense.”

Well…. they eventually win in a major war with neighboring nations and dominated the region.

So this story is telling you… many things are happening there for a reason!
MY STORY IS INSPIRED BY MY FRIEND AND DO NOT THINK TOO MUCH!

Even after many of such things happening, they seems to gain support from the people nevertheless, even I support them.
The way they use to communicate is superb, many tactic were employed, such as the words used, making public speeches to pacify the people.

Please comment, Feedback needed.

The Above Story is just for leisure and do not think too much as I am just doing my Homework.

Many Thanks.

Finally I get some time to do some blogging. My first Blog =).

Right … to the topic I am going to discuss here is on current affairs.

With the recent sub-prime causing the currency and prices on lots of things to increase, Who will say they are not affected?

Our small little dot on the world map, densely populated.
Our Land continue to expand through land reclamation but the speed of more land appearing in Singapore seems to be slower than the growing population we have!

With the fare hike on Public transport and ERP, how are the people going to survive?
Bleah… maybe things are not as bad as everyone think.
Many help have been given by the nation !
Many Policies are there to make sure we can survive when we are old !

BUT…….

Not to worry people.. we can TIDE THROUGH THIS !

One People, One Nation
