I really laugh at the thought of an average $6.66 per member per month.

Anyway I think the govt’s position is to rather spend more $$$ on construction and trade which will directly stimulate more GDP growth, then give the $$$ to needy people, which may not generate much GDP growth. What a money-faced mentality.

As there is no unemployment benefits in S’pore, the public will not know how bad the situation is.

“what we need is solution to all these issues of umployment and high cost living”

A great lady said to me,
We need quality research data Available/Accessible in order to formulate or design good solutions.

My key words : Availability and Accessibility .

Viva la Transparency and Accountability so as to achieve even greater heights higher than Mt Everest

what we need is solution to all these issues of umployment and high cost living. not being look like as good as beggars. look, everyone has his pride and dignity, who doesn’t? so problems lied with the government is how do we get out of this ’slum’? instead they came with this stupid ideas and for how long??

please for heaven sake, get real!! since you are paid millions, it is fair that you come up with solutions…if you cant, then shares your millions with those who effected and together think of solution. in this case, i believe most will agree to this ideas.

Appreciate your stepping forward to voice up for the HDB leaseholders.
I respect your effort because no one else has voiced this for us, the leaseholders, and also because in this way you sacrificed for us.

Jia You!!!

This figure is only reported when they are being pressurised by the people, there could be even bigger losses which are still hidden from the people as still there are no transparency to whatsoever they are doing with the people’s money[/i]

well, the process is tedious, and esp when it comes to a less-educated, working-class person, they give up in the end.

Why? because they dont want us to have a crutch mentality and be mollycoddled.

I would really really love to see Mr Sam Tan, an MP close to my heart, say that to someone who’s seeking his help during his meet-the-people session, rather than saying it in parliament.

I learnt why Management Accountants are so important to an organization. ;)

The People should be responsible partially – people ACCEPT the way things are being done. They are RESIGNed to this kind of norms.

I agree that if Scrutinised, many cans can be opened with unexpected findings that could shake an org and become Headlines that sell tons more newspaper.

When someone says he is a good man, I say, i don’t buy it, you have to prove it to me. Its like someone demanding to be respected, he failed to understand that Respect can only be earned. A fake Respect is called Fear.

If the organisation has great integrity and competency, then they should self-audit as first line of defence (before others spot their loopholes). The routes are multiple, so it depends on the ‘kungfu’ of the people in the organisation. I have a keen interest in this kind of work inside organisations :-)

You can also call in independent parties to perform the audit, but I don’t think that is their emphasis – to offer credible knowledge and neutrality to all. This parties have to report out of (not into) the government operations, so you can see how radical this can be for policy makers……

If they are ‘game’ enough, then next step : withold a substantial part of the current compensation of the policy makers, of which to be made payable only when public audits over the years have uncovered nothing against them, (includes unemployment statistics or not).

Audit (any nature) usually works this way : If you dig deep enough in any organisation, you will surely find something. The whole problem with this unemployment statistics is we haven’t even dug that deep enough (not meant as an offence to the author), and the questions already surface.

I understand that there are views cautioning against extrapolation, but whichever view adopted, yes, you are right, it will still come back to the issue on audit.

So far as I can see, nary a concerned agency’s PR has come out to refute your findings. On the other hand, most of your comments are from people like me posting and ranting on the said agencies’ failings in fulfilling their obligations.

I have recently left a comment on one of your posts regarding my friend’s dire need for financial assistance as he is 64, single, unemployed, sick and needs constant medical care

Andrew Loh was kind enough to arrange CDC and Mayor Matthias Yao Chih GRC MP for Aljunied to settle his problem.

After a visit from a social worker from the CDC, my friend was shocked to receive a letter stating that he doesn’t need any assistance based on his current ‘income’! (He’s penniless and his younger brother helps him pay his utilities bill.) He even called me up and said he didn’t have any bus fare for his medical appointment at Tan Tock Seng Hospital.

So much for the compassion of our CDC’s social workers. Or are their hands being tied by too much red tape?

Like LKY, these workers have grown callouses around their hearts. And we call ourselves a first world country?

Yes, indeed we need people like Mr Leong and I would also like to re-iterate that there are many others fit to give PAP MPs a run for their money. You can find many in this website and Eugene & team in Wayang Party. Problem is, when these people can be identified, they will face libels for defamation, they will face bankrupcy and jail. Then who will bail them out? Look at all the others in the past. Most recently Nair fled to US, Chee is still in prison and Jeya has died without changing anything after campaigning all his life. Whether people like these oppos or not, the law is clearly wrong, democracy is clearly violated but there is nothing any Singaporean can do.

This figure is only reported when they are being pressurised by the people, there could be even bigger losses which are still hidden from the people as still there are no transparency to whatsoever they are doing with the people’s money, and their figures keep changing all the time, God knows whether they could’ve lost all the entire cpf savings of the people.

Never Trust Untruth Chiefs of the various depts of govt.

I mean, do not see people complaining about statistics and figures they read from the MSM. Maybe I did not see it printed – must have forgotten to read.

I wonder who audits the statistics of unemployment rate?
