Story and picture by Chong Zi Liang for  The Enquirer.

ALL HAIL new media! Without it, we wouldn’t have four different ways of saying: “Yes, the ministerial forum was awesome.”

An online poll with the question, “How do you find the ministerial forum?” offered “inspiring”, “refreshing”, “fantastic” or “innovative” as answers.

Still, about 3000 people actually bothered to take part and more than 50 had decided what they felt about the forum even before it took place.

No surprise that “innovative” was the most popular choice at press time, since the other choices were even greater declarations of the forum’s brilliance.

But perhaps it was the Internet’s fault that attendance was less than stellar since students could pose questions to the PM on twitter instead of turning up in person.

    I notice TOC has a good sense of humour if one looks at the pictures of Ho Ching, LKY and Lee Hsien Loong on the right of the home page.

    The famiLee portrait is not complete without Wei Ling and Hsien Yang. LOL
    Perhaps an article by Wei Ling and a quote from Hsien Yang to complete TOC’s famiLee home page.

    “Temasek is a commercially-driven investment company and is responsible to its sole shareholder, the Singapore Government, for delivering sustainable long-term returns,” the company said.

    Questions:

    1. Is the People the shareholder of Temasek?

    2. What is defined as “sustainable long-term return” is,

    3. Who sets that goal ? how it is set?

    Oh yes, that laughing woman could well be laughing at your example and wonder how her husband can be so smart and far-sighted to approve the policy of “money the gov business, but problem the citizen business”
