Mathematic equation for Singapore Good Governance

I read the headline – Can Singapore Fail? And got freak out by the title. Frankly say, I thought everyone started rushing to migrate out of Singapore, permanently.

If you haven’t read, here – (Link). Wayang Party’s Brotherhood also sez, Can Singapore fail? Deih Kishore! Singapore already failed already lah!

I am engineering trained, so I did some calculation to psycho myself.

If S = P, P =L and L or P failed, then S = Failed.

This logic is flaw. According to the chart, and universal logic, it is more like,

S > P, P > L. L or P Failed and we just lost a part of S. We still got W and SD. We can also replace P with something else.

Not all is lost, unless of course, P is greater than what we think.

This makes me think about some humanity issue. We are always a part of something bigger, being the best of not, we can never be the only one. Example, you are in the largest (fill in the blank here) organization in the world, having the sole theory that influence the majority of the entire populace.

Does this mean the world would not progress without you?

History will Move Forward, with or without you. Period.

Intriguing gesture interface from MIT

A slightly bulky device wore around your neck, enable you to access computer, take photo, make phone call, and check out book on any surface with just your finger. Remember how cyberspace was access in the movie Johnny Mnemonic? Something like this.

Watch the video demo here – (Video)

New proposed Act gives more powder to our police, you should feel safer soon

I keep wondering. Why HDB recently installed CCTV in my block’s lifts, without even a simple FYI to the resident. It is of course, for security purposes. Silly. Mas Selamat is still at large. He is very likely… still in Singapore. We should keep our eye open.

Thinking of this, I can totally understand why there is a need to regulate outdoor activities.

News - New Act Aims To Give More Power to Police.

Hmm.. more power to police is a good thing. You can never know. Nowadays, fanatic are very resourceful, they can pass immigration undetected, disguise as good, obedient citizen and then organize a seemingly innocence fellowship at East Coast. Just waiting to disrupt our social order. Good thinking.

I am also intrigue by the coverage of this Act - “The order can also be issued pre-emptively, meaning police can intervene if they assess that an offence is about to be committed.” Strike first, prove later. Very efficient. Something like ISA. Right?

Link to the proposed Act here – (Link)

But I must protest here. I like to take video at my children’s school leh! With the new act, it may not be so convenience for me.

I have a suggestion. Why not make all proven good citizen wear an “innocence” hand-band so police cannot anyhow spot check them. That would make us safer.
