South Korea doesn’t have an elite government like our PAP. They changed Presidents and leaders like nobody business. I have analysed the Korean situation carefully and presented some arguments on why they have become a hopeless country:

1 The Koreans cannot even assemble a good football team to win the Fifa World Cup. Remember they lost 0-1 narrowly to Germany in the 2002 semi-finals. Only one player (Park Ji Sung) could make it to the Manchester United team. Our Singapore team, comprising talents from all over the world, can simply ripped apart teams like Brunei, and some others which I having some difficulties remembering.

2. In the last Olympic (Beijing 2008), South Korea only managed to win 13 Gold medals. Their policy of not relying on importing sporting talents from China/other countries will continue to hold back their progress.

3. Korea produces drama serials that only 80% of Singaporeans would die to watch. Just compare the Korean drama serials to our Jeannette Aw inspired shows, and have a good laugh at the great disparity.

4. Korean companies, which are usually not government linked, are really short of innovation. Samsung Electronic, LG, etc only produced about 90% of all advanced LED panels used in the world flat panel TVs market. Hyundai and Kia Motors are gaining market share at a pathetic rate of less than 10% each year. Just compare them with the Temasek Holding’s Chartered Semiconductor and Stats Chipac and you will immediately realised why Temasek leadership is so important.

Singaporeans are just plain lucky to have the PAP government to lead us. Our ministers are real leaders, with their salaries leading the common people by leaps and bounds. By spending $millions in importing foreign players and giving out incentives, we have captured a silver medal at the last Olympic. This is one of the greatest success stories that I can remember.

The Koreans can only look at Singapore with great envy, if they ever know that we even exist.
