Notes:
Many of the MSS girls sleep on a rug on the floor and sit on the floor in their home. And yes, you can tell the increments in income from their toilets, houses and beds.
Economic growth, education and good governance are the best means of achieving development, but the goal of development is human rights and culture.
An aside:
There's a Singlish word to describe this man:
COCK (Contributed by MC)
Despite seemingly obscene connotations, the use of "cock is actually fairly benign. It has become the de facto Singlish way to describe something as being nonsensical or sub-standard; the local equivalent of "rubbish" or "junk". Sometimes used as the short form of "cockanaden".
1. "Don't listen to him, he's only talking cock."
2. "Wah lau, you go and buy this cock thing for what?"
3. "Why you so cock, go and invest in that dot-com?"
