[...] so if the opposition were to want a GRC badly enough, “a minister has to fall in the process“. This was an observation made by National Solidarity Party Sec-Gen Goh Meng Seng just last [...]

singaporeans should not be too choosey. There is a severe shortage of citizens who dare to and willing to serve as opposition mp.

if there are many candidates, yes, pls be choosey. now is not the time.

TOC ADMIN,

We know TOC is supporter of NSP and trying to shield Goh Meng Seng.

By censoring, TOC is no different from REACH.

Why does a soverign wealth fund need to borrow money? can someone answer the question? you need more money to gamble to make more money because you are a great horse that is confident of winning every race ? or u dun have enough money? We need answers and Temasek is not giving you because they are accountable to the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Finance lets Temasek run independently and therefore is not going to ask questions. Therefore Goh Meng Seng, they just busted the property agent out of his illegal HDB, I’d say MBT is doing his job, so let go of Tampines and announce your victory and move on to somewhere else.

Hi Mr GMS, i have a suggestion. You should be like Sun Tzu : Art of War and try to win the next election by not playing your card so early. Do not reveal your election strategy too fast for etc : about where you are standing for elections. You should work the ground at least on two to three GRCs if possible and only decide the exact GRC on nomination day so that you can catch the PAP by surprise. The Art of War have many relevant strategies that have been applied to business very successfully and i believe it can also be used for election strategies.
It is more important for you to establish your manifesto more clearly and through youtube, facebook, twitter to capture the young people segment and newspapers, radio for the older generations(if possible) and explain about the alternative plans you have. It is better if you can hire some independent respected person that can nullify the statistics thrown by the pap.

Govt lets GIC and Temasek make own decisions

By Esther Au Yong

THE Government judges the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation (GIC) and Temasek Holdings on their overall portfolio performance, and does not discuss the individual deals of these sovereign wealth funds, Mrs Lim Hwee Hua said yesterday.

The Second Minister for Finance was replying to MP Inderjit Singh’s (Ang Mo Kio GRC) suggestion of more conservative mandates for GIC and Temasek as their investment outcomes affect Singapore’s reserves directly.

MP Ho Geok Choo (West Coast GRC) also asked for an update on GIC’s investments, during the Committee of Supply debate on the Budget estimates for the Ministry of Finance.

Explaining that the Government leaves the funds to make their own decisions on asset allocation, Mrs Lim said that ‘moving to a more conservative mandate as a knee-jerk reaction to the recent downturn would not be prudent, as this could risk compromising the ability of GIC and Temasek to deliver long-term sustainable returns’.

It was announced earlier this month that GIC’s 11 billion Swiss francs (S$14.3 billion) investment in UBS bonds was showing a paper loss of over five billion francs after the bonds were converted into ordinary shares when they matured.

Mr Inderjit also suggested the formation of ‘Temasek II’ to invest actively in Singapore- based companies. Mrs Lim replied that ‘such an approach may not be the best way to nurture local companies’.

She said: ‘Rather, the Government should identify and bridge market gaps, where they exist, so as to support a thriving ecosystem of locally-based enterprises, and leave the private sector to take the lead in identifying worthy investment opportunities.

‘It would be neither sustainable nor appropriate for the Government to step in to finance local enterprises that cannot locate private funding.’

But the Government is looking to help home-grown firms internationalise through the ‘development of a market-based institution for cross-border financing’. Such an export-import type of bank is needed, said Nominated MP Teo Siong Seng.

He said: ‘To expand overseas or take part in overseas projects, SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) need the necessary financial resources.’

A study on this is expected to be completed in a few months, Mrs Lim said.

Mr Goh M.S.

End of the day, you no different from PAP MPs that dont want help needy, poor and handicap people.

Well, this ‘matter’ is appearing in other forums, I guess Singaporeans will be following this.

GMS, you know that when you sit in parliament, what appears on TV is when they catch you yawning, and when you talk , you will not be screen, and if u don’t yawn , they shoot you keep quiet and looking useless. Go watch the movie “wag the dog” with al pacino man. now when u talk or change GRC to attack another ministar, they react. look like its better in the short for the people to adopt this strategy and i agree with u that the long term strategy that a ministar must fall. but watch out MBT solve the problem and your ground is lost, have a back -up, always good to attach temasek and gic, their loss is for all to see and get angry about. support Jeyaratnam and get them to corporatise them so that we hold shares.

despite suggestions given on ways to help.

??????????????

PAP STYLE – Sorry these not my original ideas/suggestions, I wont use them.

Goh Meng Seng — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 15:46:24 +0000

MBT has reacted by making changes here and there, but he has not changed the fundamental root of the problem.

How could I be “supporting” MBT when he has been hit so hard and so painful? I am holding my cards right now but you can read about other issues from my blog, on hospital beds.

GMS only wan to go parliament but he’ll get more famous when he withdraws after MBT fixes the problem, and then move on to anther GRC, he’ll create such an impact wherever he goes and make them work for it.
He would be able to achieve what JBJ, Tang, Francis seow or Chee could not do.

BUT I GUESS Goh Meng Seng has gone ‘pro MBT’.

Although he tells Singapore, he targetting MBT policies.

LUP screw up and refusing to right it is a bad policy.

He refuses to bring MBT down a peg or two.
