I think Singapore is the best example of meritocracy! Singapore is a place where those who think they deserve better for their talents, then, you are welcome there! Those who believe in democrazy, self serving lawmakers, and self entitlement because of one religion, then Malaysia is for you!
Hahahaha, All government spend someone else's money by legally collecting what we called taxes and etc even without an attempt to "do good" or improve its citizen welfare.
MERITOCRACY AND PRAGMATISM KEYS TO SINGAPORE’S SUCCESS
Kishore Mahbubani Singapore emerged as the real star of the 2019 edition of the WEF report on global competitiveness. To better understand the secrets that allowed the Asian city-state to overtake the US as the most competitive economy in the world, we sat down with professor Kishore Mahbubani, Senior Advisor (University & Global Relations) and Professor in the Practice of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore. Author of several books and expert on Asia and world affairs, he also served for 33 years in Singapore's diplomatic service.
Professor Mahbubani, what would you say are the main lessons we learnt from the leadership that transformed Singapore and which we can still apply today?
Singapore had three remarkable leaders: Lee Kuan Yew, Goh Keng Swee and Rajaratnam. No country has improved the living standard of its people as quickly and as comprehensively as Singapore did in its first 50 years. When I was dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, I told the students who were coming from all over the world that I would have given them the secrets of Singapore success and I would have done so free of charge. And the secrets are captured in an acronym –MPH – which stands for three words. M for Meritocracy: one reason why Singapore is exceptionally successful is because its leaders tried to get the best possible people to join them in government, so the quality of minds of the leaders matter, but the quality of the minds of the people that are around them is equally important. The second letter, P, stands for pragmatism: Singapore is by far the most pragmatic country in the world. It will try anything without thinking whether this it will fit its ideology. The third letter is the hardest one and that is why most countries fail: it stands for honesty. By accident of history we had three brilliant leaders who were also exceptionally honest, even when Singapore was a very poor country and the salaries were very low. If any country can implement these three principles, I guarantee you the country will succeed.
Malaysia could have copied Singapore as model for success! Instead of half a century, we have lawmakers who continue to play race and religion cards! So that's why Malaysia which already a fail nation will be at bottom place in Asean in decades to come!

Hahaha Tobby, Singapore is not under a meritocracy system.
Answer : Yeah, again, you admit you are among dimwits! Of course meritocracy is not a system! It's part of the system! Then again, i understand! You have limited mental capacity just like the rest of us! Sometimes dimwits do try their hardest to be seen smart and brilliant only to be laughed at by themselves!
Anyway, since our lawmakers fail to learn from their own follies then rakyat will fail along with our nation! So chill, enjoy the race and religion cards from both Harapan and the talibans BN, PN, MN or whatever label this tabilans use nowadays!
I am breaking my own rule, which is, not to argue with dumbass! You know the drill, or else dumbass will teach you a lesson which they never learn! Anyway, since i am free to turd around, i guess it's okay to once in the while talk to Uncensored!
Hahaha... Ok OK SSlee I am sorry for wrongly accused you as same class as qqq3333.
qqq3333 still a fool as far as her answer to me.
Tobby you still talking to me. Are you a fool ? hahahaha
Singapore ruling party using Meritcracy system in selecting politicians to run for official post under Democracy political system as the core political system.
The Myth of Meritocracy: Why It's Better to be Born Rich than Smart
Is it better to be born rich with below average intelligence, or poor with above average intelligence. If we lived in a society that actually upheld the values of meritocracy and equality of opportunity, the answer would be clear: you would choose the natural gifts because they would give you the best chance to succeed.
But we all know that equality of opportunity and meritocracy are largely mythologies, and while it makes people uncomfortable to admit this, two recent studies from the United States demonstrate that the children of the wealthy—even low achievers--have better life outcomes than the high achievers from low-income backgrounds.
Asking why this is the case serves as the goal of this video, but the answer isn’t that the children of the poor have genetic or cultural weaknesses that make them less likely to succeed. Rather, the reality is that the children of the rich have greater access to tools which allow for them to mask their weaknesses and highlight their strengths in a way poor children do not. These manifest in the earliest years of education, but the gap grows ever wider as students move into high school, university, and beyond.
Tobby really you got plenty of obsess fans...hahaha
little pinky fans ???
>>>>>>>>>>>> Posted by Tobby Uncensored! Well, compare to last time, where i have plenty of obsess fans, i guess, talking to least intelligent ones is quite refreshing! 01/01/2022 9:47 PM

Answer : Once upon a time! During height of Justin Bieber! I was like Donald Trump of i3! Plenty of fans would roll on the floor just to talk to me! But again, just past glory!
China learnt that the end justifies the mean. That's where Deng Xiou Ping prefers any colour of a cat to catch a mouse. Meaning embracing capitalism if it is good for the people. You would call pragmatism. Meritocracy may not be true, within the elite in PLA/CCP may be more of who you know. But the general populace ie private sectors and non-government links could have elements of meritocracy.

You means you are good in stock analysis ?
Answer : Well, i used to make fat profit on stocks that i pick! I called it RM1 profit margin! But those were the days! I was ridiculed for trying to educate i3 retailers that making RM1 profit margin is normal! At those time, making 10 cents was like huge deal! So yeah, i got roasted by dimwits! I learn my lesson! So rule No.1, never argue with dumbass!

Ok la... now BN taken over. Back to the old days ...
Answer : In Umno, they don't practice meritocracy! You have self serving talent less leaders jolting to the top! So you end up with Ismail Sabri or Zahid Hamidi! Umno leaders will reject talented ones because, if those who are more than qualified get the top post, then how can mediocre ones get elected!
In Malaysia politics, the dumb ones get to be elected! They only like to play race and religion cards! Been popular is the sure way to be voted! Sad reality of Malaysia politics!
This uncensored are really naive & silly to think only democracy system works loh!
Actually the system that work best is meritocracy system mah!
But if u select candidates base on merits & fill them for elections base on liberal democratic election system, the bums & dumbo may not elect them, bcos these people are naives and short term & just looking for goodies & handouts mah!
Thats why China System where strong good leaders are elected by well meaning party members that love the country stand a much better chance of success loh!
Bcos china sustainable leaders base on merits mah!

@stockraider
Why is it hard to be the last 3? Just pick Serba, Serba-WA, SCIB, SCIB-WB, KPower and KPower-WA. Your portfolio will go to zero by the end of the year.
This book is the result of the author's many years of experience and observation throughout his 26 years in the stockbroking industry. It was written for general public to learn to invest based on facts and not on fantasies or hearsay....

Meritrocacy where competent and capable people elected/promoted to leadership position work and no two ways about it.
