Political Uncertainty:

  

                                             Singapore & India

My interest in the application of ‘Physics of Music’ to the ancient Tamil & Sanskrit texts, led to the amazing discoveries. (http://www.musicresearch.in/categorydetails.php?imgid=137  ; http://veepandi.blogspot.in/2014/04/normal-0-false-false-false-en-us-x-none.html; http://musictholkappiam.blogspot.in/ ;  http://musicdrvee.blogspot.in/ )

My other interest, with the post graduate certificate in ‘Sociological theories’, is the application of Physics to the Social Dynamics of the Modern world, identifying the social forces influencing the direction of the current world social history. Some of the results are posted in http://tamilsdirection.blogspot.in/

In the above context, a very interesting & promising experiment is going on in Singapore, whose progress, from its birth on 9 August 1965 as a new independent country plagued with unemployment, corruption, along with the Singapore Dollar valued lower than the Malaysian Ringgit, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Republic_of_Singapore) to its present status, is a significant pointer to predict the direction of the resultant forces in the world socio-political-economics. By identifying & aligning with the growing forces in the world, synchronizing with the development of corruption free & growth oriented  internal system, Singapore’s success is unique in the modern history.

Did Singapore’s success suggest the following question?

Can the economic and social problems experienced in the Western developed countries, be traced to the destruction of the self-discipline, and the heritage-family value system, during the process of the economic development, along with the ‘heritage-family blind’ human rights development?

In fact, PM Modi, probably sensing it, invited the Deputy PM of Singapore, for the first 'Transforming India' lecture. (‘India's unfulfilled potential largest in world: Singapore Deputy PM; http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/politics-and-nation/indias-unfulfilled-potential-largest-in-world-singapore-deputy-pm/articleshow/53872868.cms )

Probably the above is just the beginning of the new phase of Singapore, with the  increasing contribution to the world peace and development. Of all the countries in the world, Singapore has the logistic advantage of constructively interacting with both India & China, the current two engines of the world economy.

Hence I was surprised to come across the following question, during a casual conversation with a friend.

‘In view of Singapore facing political uncertainty, will it be safe to invest money in Singapore?’

I sensed that the above question arose due to the unfounded magnification of the PM succession debate going on in Singapore.

In fact, I follow the debate and surprised with the emotion free, responsible debate culminating in the most assuring direction of the solution.

To the above question, I responded the following.

Modi, heading the first 100% non-corrupt Govt, had to complete the unfinished nation building process, failing which India, faces the  worse political uncertainty, with the regional thug leaders, derailing all the progress, India had achieved, including the unity of the country.

The person, who raised the question, agreed with my above observation.

In the above context, the following posted in my blog http://tamilsdirection.blogspot.in/2016/07/normal-0-false-false-false-en-in-x-none_18.html ;

deserves the attention.

How Singapore, the only country that was forced unwillingly to 'gain independence' in world history, could get rid of the 'unbelievable' corruption, and 'transform' to become a corruption free, developed country? Also how Singapore consciously strengthen the 'nation building process'? (http://www.straitstimes.com/politics/singapolitics/changes-to-ep-needed-as-race-still-matters-in-politics-pm-lee ) 

Also did the above mentioned Western social disease of ‘‘heritage-family blind’ westernization, infect a section of the Singapore citizens? Did the children of such families, experience academic related difficulties, or/and broken families, fueling frustration in the society? ( ‘Because of the close links between language and identity, if people begin to think of their language as useless, they see their identity as such as well. This leads to social disruption, depression, suicide and drug use, he says.’ http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_8311000/8311069.stm ) Did the question of my friend mentioned above, originate, in the circle of such frustration? How far the measures to patronize the mother-tongue in the education of all the races, the traditional festivals of all the races, & other such measures, combat the above social disease?

The answers will be valuable to India’s nation building process.
