New York.-  Dominican Republic and Singapore on Wednesday agreed to strengthen bilateral cooperation to promote investment and trade, during a meeting of their Foreign ministers in the backdrop of the UN 67th General Assembly.

Carlos Morales and Singapore’s K Shanmugam said their governments seek stronger diplomatic and commercial ties.

The 707 square-kilometer island of Singapore has become the world’s fourth biggest financial center, whose education system is credited with playing a leading role for the country’s top ranks in international trade.

 During the meeting, Shanmugam invited Morales to make an official visit to to Singapore to begin work on a bilateral agenda which benefits both countries.

I have been advocating for years looking at the Singapore model to see what adaptations could be made in the Dominican Republic. However with our 16th century Education "System" it will be difficult to take advantage of their experience.

I like this. Singapore is a model to follow, especially for DR's advantage being in the center of the American Continent.

Just because most people in the world don't support Vulture Capitalism like, you, Ayn Rand and Mit ROT-NEY doesn't mean they are against free markets!

Josean

I have 2 questions.

What is "Vulture" Capitalism? I know what most of the people like you on the extreme left think it is but I want to hear it from you.

Do you know what a free market is?

Any model is better than ours, sending students abroad to get degrees that DR fails to offer after 400yrs of the "the first University founded in the Americas".

super,

I am ALWAYS positive on DR, but you as many others think the DR is the government and the PLD.

Remember just like the Capital is not the whole country the government or the political parties are NOT the Dominican People!

Thank MrJosean

I knew you would appreciate such comments.

Next question from any one .If the armed forces are reduced to one Brigade to start with,from 6 at

present,and are re-educated in the art of war;do you think the same amount funding saved and

placed in the educational system could get us close to the 21st century ? just keep (1) one

Brigadier general and fire all the others, will bring us close to been called semi civilized.Get rid

of so called ADMIRALS w/o ship and reduce the title to COMMODORE= to Lt Col.in the Army.

Same for the air force pilots officers usually 2nd & 1st Ltnts wings ,captain squadrons

size.How much could we save taking away all the benefits or perks from these leaches as well

as the congress personnel's? Reduce the military spending by 1/6th in purchasing expensive

war materiel.Bring their pensions equal to any of its size.If the officers don't graduate as CADETS

don't give them the title of officers.
