Vomit
After seeing this, one is inspired to work even harder to LEAVE.
It is sad to see what we had degenerate to. Even the uncle and aunties seems like just acting along.
There is only one word to describe this…. SHINGZ!

Draft of APEC welcoming song?
Better than the 4 million Smiles during IMF/World Bank meet.

The best collection of goodus ever filmed anywhere! And great goondu harmony, sychronization and lyrics too. Very befitting of any PAP government agency that values incompetence over all else.
Congrats, NTUC.
Yes, you have cheapened Singaporeans by making them faster and better at helping to accumulate the maximum amount of GDP, which so coincidentally also forms an undeclared* part of the incomes that cabinet ministers earn.
* Fiscal issues are issues that have to do with the collection of revenue (ie. fiscal revenue) via taxes, fees, licences, etc. as well as fiscal spending which refers to the spending of the revenue collected. ALL fiscal issues are meant to be transparent. How else can citizens determine that no corruption has occurred? Ministerial incomes are paid for through the collection of revenue, and therefore should be completely transparent even right down to how much of a performance bonus/discretionary amount due to GDP increase, etc. a minister is paid. Despite the smoke that the PAP has repeatedly thrown in Singaporeans’ eyes, trust – because the PAP has screened all its candidates ’so well’ – is NO substitute for a properly functioning fiscal accountability system. Singapore needs to ensure a SYSTEM – an effective system of checks and balances – that can serve us for the longest possible time, that our SYSTEM, and not the claimed non-corruptibility of those manning the system, is what will ensure a non-corrupt system.
No Shame
The West is trying to promote fair trade, so that workers get the pay they deserve, so that sweat shops are stopped. Spore on the other hand is promoting slavery – cheaper, better, faster. Blatantly shameless.
I would have given them a tiny bit of credit if they compose their own original music.

haha, hilarious, yes, Singapore, we must be cheaper, cheaper & sheeper.
is this clip taken from North Korea?

I realized you can’t comment on the youtube video on the page.
Wow, I’m glad they subject every comment to approval. Because it sucks.
I wish that the ministers of Singapore would be Cheaper, Better and Faster too.
Lead by example, thank you.
Except no cheaper, better and faster politicians!
Utopia
Nowhere did I see in the video those appearance of Lim Sweet Say, Sham, Sissy Loong, HoJinx, old fart , Wong Can’t Sing, and those world-most expensive gorillas and monkeys of the government. Last I recall Singapore top the first 30th position for highest-paid politicians. How can they be exempted from the “Cheaper, better, faster” movement since they are like us working for a living ? How can they shamelessly ask us to “Cheaper, better, faster” when they aren’t even exemplify that ? Or is there two sets of rules, one for lesser mortal and one for God/Demi-God ?

No wonder English standard in Singapore is low.
The Government blames Singaporeans for being not up to it,
But the truth lies in NTUC for promoting bad English.
Here are some grammatical errors in this song.
1. We have to be betterer.
2. SG wanted labour movement to be best.
3. We have to be betterer to be the first,
3. Now they say must increase productivity to beat all the foreign competition.

This is what Swiss Standard all about that SM Goh once said!
Utopia
Since there are basically two set of rules contrary to each other
Lesser Mortal = Cheaper, better, faster
God/Demi-God = Expensiver , lousier, slower
Now I get it !
STPBored
someone shoot me….pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
What bubble
You mean linning up a few chefs and doormen and singing ‘cheaper,better,faster’
will take the message across to Singaporeans?
I have a better idea! ie. line up all the $multi-million ministers to perform and sing this song! I am sure the message will be more appropriate and effective! What say you,folks?
Utopia
“I have a better idea! ie. line up all the $multi-million ministers to perform and sing this song! I”
But then if those expensive clowns will to perform this song, the theme of the song/video has to be changed to “Expensiver , Lousier, Slower” !

We are in big trouble!
We have to turn ourselves into cheapskates
after 50 years of progresses.
We must thank our leaders for
their wonderful leadership
to make us cheaper!

Tharman, the Finance Minister said the economy downturn demonstrates the STRENGTH of the Spore system. I wonder has he seen this video or does he know what his colleague Swee Say is on about.

LOL, the tune is from the Beatle’s O-bla-di, O-bla-da
When some uncles and aunties view recordings of the younger people dancing at their fave hangouts, foam parties, etc, their respond were quite similar to the respond we are getting here. – disgust.
We got to have an open mind. Let people do their things. Don’t expect others to fit into your mould of narrow mindedness.

Give them a break lah
their engrish not as powderful as your oxford one lah

Vomit at #2 – I will work even harder to leave Singapore. This song is making me real sick in my stomach.
25) Muhamad Nur
Ya, the trains are getting too crowded anyway.
TOC, please tell me this is a SPOOF!

They say; “a picture tells a thousand words”, but then video recordings were unheard of in those days. If it had been around, then they would surely have said instead that, “a video tells a million words”.
Is this what we will be getting if we go cheap and fast? Where is the ‘better’, which is the key component to being cheap and fast?
More importantly, what usually comes cheap, fast and better must also be safe. I certainly don’t feel safe looking at this video clip. The foreigners in the clip are the most scariest of all.
john
our Ministers and MPs should be Cheaper, Better, Faster too
TIME FOR CHANGE, VOTE OPPOSITION, BECAUSE THEY ARE BETTER
