Does cronyism exists in SG?

[Senior-citizen]

You mean there are many examples u seen before of cronyism?

Sometimes close cronies can also turn against one another and sue each other

Cronyism is technically legal la. Cus no bribes offered right. But the implicit understanding is cronies will look out for one another lor.

boh lah......................only LEEpotism lah

BBM medal, CCC member, family biz and now this kinda pressers.

well, can't help it if people gets more and more misunderstood about PA giving out BBM medals and letting big biz men sit on CCC positions.

Of course it does, it exists everywhere, even in NK. The question you should be having is, how rampant is it compared to other developed countries?

[Nanduleg]

when a G is not replaced for a long time means some sort of manipulation going.. need not necessarily be in the ballot box...

information is indirectly proportional to the life of a "democratic" G... as the expectation of a informed ppl can never be matched by a democratic G

Cronyism is favoritism to friends, e.g. appointing them to political positions. This is different from corruption.

CPIB does not investigate cronyism or nepotism.

Corruption is for stupid ppl la

Smart ppl will send their friend or family to good uni first, then engage tutor to help with sch work, get a branded degree.

Then ask friend to hire this person and protect him or her let her pad resume with branded company operational and mgt experience.

Then once that's done can jump here and there earn millions annually based on where the cronies network is lor...

Then is arguably meritocracy liao lor

This is true in most asian democracies I believe...

I read of India, that children of politicians mostly are foisted and they replace them after their death..

Same like what senior lee did...
