When leaders fall short of being world's highest leaders and incorruptibility?

Didn't we hear enough over the past 47 years of our leaders' claims of their leadership and talent and their deserving being paid millions as world's best leaders? If one does not make such claims perhaps people can forgive them for blemishes. On the other hand, if we have leaders who constantly make such claims can we keep quiet as a people if they fall short of claims? Strangely, if we turn on the TV, we will keep hearing that there is no such thing as whiter than white as if to explain away the recent corruption at high places. Are we the people going to be so stupid as to subject to such subtle dis-information propaganda aimed at defending falling short of leadership and incorruptibility of our governing elites at high places? What do we make of this - another subtler propaganda to deny past claims of leadership, and incorruptibility? Back-tracking tactic isn't it? .............................. In answering a question posed by netizen Low, on 22.12.2012 whether organization should be led by a leader or collective leadership: Leadership by example or collective leadership is the answer. It is a means to an end and not the end by itself. It does not matter who leads as long as there is a collective leadership in charge of all major decisions that benefit all. .............................. In the year 1995 or thereabout, I wrote to PWD pointing out that the Stamford canal passing through below the taxi-driveway of Lucky Plaza was too full on raining days causing the Rainwater Down Pipes to backflow into the basement of Lucky Plaza. Yet, PWD has failed to consider this feedback in its construction of the Marina Barrage!!! The problem of flooding due to the lack of capacity of Stamford Canal should have been recognized from such incidents of backflow and not overlooked to create such widespread flooding of Orchard Road today with minister trying to hide the problem with lack of proper planning. ............................ Our economists should look into this problem - for every percentage point of increases due to government's taxing, privatizing and profiteering that jack up our cost of living and housing how many local businesses are affected and how many locally created jobs are being lost. There should be an objective and transparent study of effect of government' s sucking of monies from people that reduce our economic competitiveness before the government is allowed to make more assumptions that importing of foreigners is the solution to our problems.
