The Late Lee Kuan Yew's Speech at the Philippine Business Conference

Highlights:

"I do not believe that democracy necessarily leads to development. I believe that what a country needs to develop is discipline more than democracy. The exuberance of democracy leads to undisciplined and disorderly conditions which are inimical to development. The ultimate test of the value of a political system is whether it helps that society to establish conditions which improve the standard of living for the majority of its people plus enabling the maximum of personal freedoms compatible with the freedoms of others in society."

"Politicians revelled in democracy, and its freedoms, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and for those in office, the freedom to wheel and deal. It was politics enjoyed for its own sake. Election campaigns were colourful and entertaining. Candidates made eloquent and stirring speeches. But when it was over, it was back to more wheeling and dealing until the next elections. The implementation of policies did not match their presentation."

"One problem is the Philippines has an American-style constitution, one of the most difficult to operate in the world. There is a complete separation of powers between executive, legislature and judiciary. They wrote the constitution in 1787 and ratified it in 1789. They wanted a weak executive president. Having suffered at the hands of King George III of England, they wanted the opposite of a strong monarch. But a developing country faced with disorder and underdevelopment needs a strong honest government. A US-style constitution failed long before Marcos declared martial law. It was re-adopted in 1987 by President Aquino. The system worked in America because of a super-abundance of resources and riches in a vast under-populated continent. I do not believe that Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong or Singapore could have succeeded as they have done if they had to work under such a constitution, where gridlock on every major issue is a way of life. And you will notice that since the Vietnam War and the Great Society for some 28 years ago, the US system has not functioned even for the United States."

Di talaga magwowork ang Presidential System, kita mo naman sa Sitwasyon ng Politika sa Pilipinas, nagkagulo gulo

papaano mo nga nasabi, wala akong problema diyan sa conclusion mo, gusto ko lang malaman yung basis mo

 

[okkayo12]

sample lang yan ng political influence kasi ayaw mo ng religious influence, democracy is not our own, USA ang nag influence niyan

sige nga papaano nag reform ang taiwan? if nag reform nga ba

Depende yan sa Bansa pero specific ko lang nag focus sila sa Reform about Technology, Agriculture at iba pa , kaya naging isa sa Tiger of Asia ang Taiwan

Kung ayaw mo ng reporma , stick to current status quo

papaano mo nga nasabi, wala akong problema diyan sa conclusion mo, gusto ko lang malaman yung basis mo

Para basic lang yung basis ko ha , Political History of The Philippines. Let's see kung di ka mamulat sa Katotohanan , ginawan nato ng study na di nagwowork ang Presidential System.

Kagaya sa Singapore na May Strategic Position for Global Trade

Yung mga Politiko mismo ayaw buksan ang Opportunity ng Pilipinas

[okkayo12]

More than Years , umuunlad na ang Singapore from third World Country to First World Country

Akala ng Malaysia , useless ang Singapore, dahil sa Open Foreign Direct Investment dun na bumuhos yung mga Foreign Investors sa Singapore na through pag Open ng Business dun din nakapagbibigay ng Trabaho sa mga Singaporeans

just point me to the main points bossing kasi ikaw yung nakaka-intindi diba at ako yung hindi

Through Reforms na naimplement ni Lee Kuan Yew, Ngayon naging First World Country ang Singapore na deklara pa as One of Tigers of Asia

actually duterte opened our country up to 100% foreign business ownership to few types of industries, if you can remember gusto niyang wasakin ang monopoly ng telcos

 

[okkayo12]

Wala parin eh , dahil sa 60/40 yun ang pumipigil

60/40 na nasa 1987 Constitution

Pumipigil sa Pag-unlad.

Pag may pumasok na Foreign Business asahan natin may partnership galing Sa Filipino Businessman.

Di nawasak yun , tutol ang opposition pati Mga Filipino Companies , kung naging wise lang ang mga Filipino Companies na mag open na sila for Foreign Investment, uunlad na ang Pilipinas Ngayon

Pero remember ha na ang Open Foreign Direct Investment bahagi na yan as Liberal Policy

Kung may tutol dun about Foreign Investment, wala tayong magagawa nun dahil pinili nila yung Sariling interest

Di naman ako sumusuporta sa iisang tao , sumusporta ako sa reporma for National Development ng Pilipinas

Naniniwala ako sa Political Ideology na Centrism para maging balance ang Policies na iimplement ng Gobyerno

Dehado tayo dyan sa totoo lang, pag may malakas na partido dun na nagsisilipatan yung mga Politiko dyan. pag humina na , dun na magsilipatan sa bagong popular na partido

Double Standards di parin nawawala
