		<description>It is a good PM new year speech from a good man in the present circumstances - what more can one expect ?

Just that the man does not have enough of good people like Ng Eng Hen who has a real heart for the people (or trust fully ? Khaw Boon Wan who with his humble charima, sincerity &amp; ability can easily overshadow anyone.. ) . MPs in the likes of LBW are a dim a dozen , are somewhat naive, light ears ?,  and easily manupilated by others even for cheap thrills in STTA politics; Or even some others - are there to try to sell and high light themselves for their own future. How can they ever rise up to support PM in his time of need- they all can only drag him down. SM and the NKF peanut shit cannot be erased from people&#039;s memories .

The Civil Service is really the trusted vanguard ( thank you Teo Chee Hian) - the Civil Service tries and it gets better every year - its PSs are the best ever seen and they are the real thing and why the world is still looking up to Singapore not its MPs or dilapidated baggages.

The Chee era closed with Vasoo long ago - petty theft cannot be tolerated for aspiring leaders even though many practised it anyway. Look forward to new people (TOC people are fresh and good candidates) and not the present bunch of opposition please. 
Some government punitive measures are likened to swapping a mosquito with a sledgehammer - you can only hurt yourself with the self inflicted pain and long bad memories - remember the character assassination of the last potential elected presidential candidate . The end justify the means mentality may in the long term proves be more costly.

PM is the best you can have now in his circumstances, (SWFs&#039; entanglement with the West are not really his doings), world global recession , and the restive regional neighbourhood - count your blessings to have PM still healty, passionate and on the ball. 
Say what you like -MM was the best that had happened to Singapore - carry your passport around the world and you know what you mean to others being a Singaporean, never mind the present tough times and perhaps occasional empty pockets.

Guys - say what you like online - but be fair and try to be as accurate and  true to yourself, and learn to be appreciative of the good things in 2009. Thank you.

Happy New Year.</description>

		<description>[i]Leanne on January 5th, 2009 10.54 pm You really can’t counter argue. Obama has brought back most of the the Clintonites. That’s a fact. No change in America. Change in Singapore? Chee calls for change but it could be the same “change” Obama brings.
[/i]
and bush could have sued obama for million$ in insults whatever charges that is handy
right?
dr chee did indeed asked for changes
when he took a taxi
unfortunately
that taximan somehow changed his mind
and redirect to nus dean for clarifcation
and endup in some kangoroo court for petty theft...
is this the CHANGES
you expect?
when our court can never CHANGED @ all?</description>

		<description>Hello Guys,
No points to speak from here.  If you guys think is ready so bad.  Please stand up and challenge them.  I&#039;m seeing you guys are wasting of time just to speak from here.  At least the PAP, they stand up and they speak up.

We as a Singaporean, we open talk and share our right view to them.  Not just write here.  This will bring us not far.

Be A MAN.

I will be right back!!!</description>

		<description>You have eyes but cannot see, you have ears but cannot hear, you also have mouth but cannot talk.  I suggest all you singaporeans to open your eyes, your ears to see and hear what is actually happening to those people down there and open your mouth to start talking about reality and not whats been reported on those local MSM anymore.</description>

		<description>Hi Partisan,

I have to give you credit for expressing what would be considered an unpopular view here. Though I do not agree with you on most counts, neither do I see the need to blast you or try to convert you from your thinking. I don&#039;t like people telling me how or what to think, and I certain believe neither do you. 

I also believe that you believe that you are doing your part for the nation in your own ways, by either being a member of the YPAP or the grassroots, and trying to mobilize all the &#039;negative&#039; people here to support the PAP. That is an admirable effort. It&#039;s always better than doing nothing at all. 

Here&#039;s an invitation for you. Why don&#039;t you get in touch with Andrew from TOC (just write to theonlinecitizen@gmail.com) They do regular coverage of many of the stories you see here. Maybe you can take time off your busy schedule will like to join them on one of their stories, you know, see for yourself things you don&#039;t see everyday. And also share your views with them. I always believe that we should be open enough to listen to even views we don&#039;t like to hear.

What do you think? Is that a yes? :)</description>

		<description>I thank you for most of your comments.

I know it is easy to criticise PAP because they have done so much good work nfor the people that left people wanting more and more goodies.  Just last week, MOE announces 7000+ employment opportunities - now isn&#039;t that wonderful news to all to start the year?

I believe a strong leadership, such as that from PAP, is absolutely necessary to bring Singapore to another height of achievement.  Hardworking people are everywhere, just waiting for strong leaders to lead the way.  And the answer is PAP. I cannot find a country without hardworking people - Taxes - can you?  All I am saying is that other countries have so much corruption and organised crimes - that&#039;s doesn&#039;t mean Singapore don&#039;t have - when I used the phrase &quot;so much&quot; it is used in comparative sense.  

Sure there are pockets of discontentment here and there and you cannot please everyone, but the majority of the Singaporeans will be better of under PAP&#039;s governance.  That&#039;s why democracy works - because you follow the will of the majority.

Because of prudent and sound financial management, the Government is able to once again help Singapore by continuing to create jobs, giving financial help to the need, and preparing the nation for the upturn with all the skills retraining.  Yes, these are not popular policies and requires people to get out of the comfort zone, but it will keep food on the table and families together.  I suggest to you all to let these policies bear fruit first.  Negativity will not lead us anywhere.  If you really have constructive criticisms or really care about nation building - join the YPAP.

No need to give hugs or what - it is just sharing of views in this forum.  I may not say the things you want to hear, but that&#039;s ok for me because those are my views - just like those are your views.</description>

		<description>Have to wait for the budget speech on 22 Jan 09?  Anyway, how to save jobs; cut pay, take up contract &amp; temp jobs?  Not many people like this kind of options.</description>

		<description>okay zefly,

that&#039;s just one of the best post in quite a while. =)


and leanne, 

don&#039;t fall to the  trap that discontentment with PAP means automatic support for chee. What most people want is the best for Singapore, and many here are unwilling to compromise on anything less.</description>

		<description>Leanne,

what&#039;s your point? We&#039;re starting to lose you. As for Chee, I didn&#039;t see anyone here saying they support him and/or see him as a viable alternative. Why don&#039;t you read post 53 first. Then next, you can go buy Chee&#039;s a Nation Cheated from Kinokuya to find out about his vision for SIngapore. It&#039;s a decent read, you can finish in a day. Than you come back and we can have a healthy constructive discussion on policies and their alternatives, instead of despairing there won&#039;t be any change. Like I put to Partisan, if you want change, you have to first change yourself and how you see the world. You can&#039;t change anything if you don&#039;t even believe in change. That&#039;s why you&#039;re sitting there asking about Chee. The right question to ask is, not what Chee can do, but what you can do.

		<description>Look at the facts you nut heads. Obama brought in practically the same economic advisors from the Clinton Administration and is leaving the state department to H Clinton who is also bringing in Clinton colleagues? You cna specify change anywhere but it usally is a big lie! Same with the Eastern Europe states, they are free from communism but theri leaders are just as corrupt as the previous ones!</description>

		<description>[i]Leanne on January 5th, 2009 12.33 am I want to know what Chee’s foreign, economic, health and labour policies are. It’s no use wanting change when there is no real change like Obama who brought in all the Clintonites.
[/i]

since you asked a stupid but funny idiotic question
as though dr chee can talk to clinton/obama.....

[i]&quot;Our economy will probably contract further. More companies will be forced to downsize. So far we have not seen many job losses, but I expect more retrenchments in the next few months. We must be psychologically prepared,&quot; the prime minister said.[/i]

so would you cared
ONCED again
to show us how to psychologically prepared?
or you are goin
to challenge
ME again
to seek dr chee assistance on this 1 as well?
what would you
do if you are given the golden retrenchment handshake?
come on
be a sport
please teach me
how you are goin to overcome this kachang puteh problemo
right?</description>

		<description>The PAP garment is no more what it used to be in the 1960s and 1970s, where the heart was for the people.

Over the last two decades or more, IT has become the exploiter of the people, making use of the people to hold on to and prolong IT’s power, only paying lip-service and dishing out cursory peanuts and sweeteners to pretend to show IT still has a heart for the people. From the meaningless and misleading words of the present bunch of incompetent and self-over-rated world’s highest paid millionaire-aspirant ministars, we can easily sense their insincerity and hypocrisy.

It is very obvious that we are all now left by ourselves to fend for ourselves. The superficial measures that they are taking are merely cursory short-term fire-fighting actions to blur our eyes in order to tie them over once again. Their only long-term measure is to prolong and maintain their power of self-serving and self-enriching. They do not really have any long-term measures to ensure our quality of life for the common good in the long run.  

Therefore, in the next GE, we should all register a loud and clear response to these self-serving and self-enriching lot of elitists and hypocrites. May the force be with all of us, the common people, in the next GE.</description>
