KJD IMHO, Singapore is a very tiny country, and that by itself can be a big advantage when talking about law and order, or even keeping it clean.
The question is whether such a system, with all the trappings of draconian laws work in India? Why even the slightest move in that direction will cause an uproar in India, specially by those who are advocating it right now. They will be the first to yell about fundamental rights being curtailed etc etc. Will Indians be willing to pay that price that Singaporeans or S. Koreans have paid? --Ram On 5/18/05, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Cd, > That's why I wrote " This is not to say that such actions can be yoked to > religion itself". > > You are right.Just forty years ago, Singapore was a war-battered British > port,which had rapidly growing,poor,uneducated population living in slums > and households.Singapore struggled along until 1965,when it became an > independent nation with prime minister Yew in firm control.Forty years > later,75% of families,the previous slum-dwellers own their homes.Despite a > few harsh measures ( eg,forced savings),Singaporeans are happy with their > paternalistic government. > KJD > _______________________________________________ > Assam mailing list > Assam@pikespeak.uccs.edu > http://pikespeak.uccs.edu/mailman/listinfo/assam > > Mailing list FAQ: > http://pikespeak.uccs.edu/assam/assam-faq.html > To unsubscribe or change options: > http://pikespeak.uccs.edu/mailman/options/assam > > > _______________________________________________ Assam mailing list Assam@pikespeak.uccs.edu http://pikespeak.uccs.edu/mailman/listinfo/assam Mailing list FAQ: http://pikespeak.uccs.edu/assam/assam-faq.html To unsubscribe or change options: http://pikespeak.uccs.edu/mailman/options/assam
