I am not interested in PAP party renewal, I am interested in the high cost of living, decreasing wages and limited jobs, retirement (CPF) and what the government plan for next 5 years to tackle continuing high influx of FT/FW and the increased population?
Will Singaporeans be taxed higher (directly or indirectly) to pay for the infrastructure to sustain the increased population, the aging , the poor and the unemployed. These are what every Singaporeans (eligible to vote or not) is really concern about, the future of our livelihood. Hold the bull in the horns Mr Lee.
I also must apologise…I also find it difficult to believe in what he said. It’s a party video and therefore it’s has self serving intentions, that they do not loose power.
There is nothing convincing to say that Singaporeans priority come first.
strengthen cohesion? like you die your problem is it? fat cats in high ivory towers are out of touch with the stresses faced by most men (& women) on the ground.
there is no good reason why S’poreans are often made to bear the brunt of failed economic policies & blamed for a myriad of problems our country faces.
low wages & uncertain jobs future leading to low birthrate is just 1 such example.
Another instance where PAP equates itself as Singapore with the usual spiel that if PAP does not renew itself or recruit able men and women, SINGAPORE is finished. No, Singapore won’t be finished my dear Mr Lee. It is PAP that will be finished. Singapore will carry on very well. Thank you.
give me Paris Hilton anytime!
Me listened to him intently,
but, at the end of the day
found myself unable to believe
a single claim of his.
I tried very hard to convince myself
to believe him. BUT
failed.

Ah loong, too little too late….
Ah Loong,
reading from script written by your Ivory Tower scholar again ? Afraid of Mee Siam Mai Hum ?
