He cannot make that decision, who can ??
It is a good excuse for him if the Casino screw up the Singaporean lifes later.
Cos he is not involved.
Ya... What he wants is to have peaceOriginally posted by Parka:He doesn't have to wait if he want to screw up Singaporean's lives.
He can simply left the SIA & union squabble carry on forever.
they are all 1 and the same thing. he just doesn't want to commit because the plan can go ahead without it. in case it screws up, he doesn't lose credibility. but they are all in it together anyway, covering for 1 anotherOriginally posted by Medicated Oil:M&M is supposed to be the Boss of all ministers.

The thing is even this Lou Goh want to fight a war with the "Royal Family",he is totally no match with Lou Lee!Lou Goh is tall,big size,but he is a "useless bum",what he can do now is continue to be an "obedient dog" n shake his tail whenever Lou Lee whissle him to come to him!There is not much this Lou Goh can do already!Originally posted by Medicated Oil:Put it this way.
M&M is a post created to enable an individual to tour around the world to give pet talk and give comments without being responsible.
He is still well paid and enjoying life from his past contributions.
Ah Goh staying on for the sake of Singapore in the way of getting business around the world.
So, he is the geniuine guy for Singapore.
I dun think he fancy the post of MM after his office as SM.
Dun think he is interested in fighting any war with the Royal Family.
May I highlight again that COE, property crash, GST, transportation fee hike, creation of GRC etc. etc. all happen while Lau Goh is PM.Originally posted by Medicated Oil:Put it this way.

Wow, it's easy to say anything since you're all the way in NZ. But i would prefer a revolution to come sooner rather than later. The problem is: Singaporeans are too afraid of political changes. And what if the government used the "Beijing" solution to solve the problem of protest etc. Drive a tank over our bodies.Originally posted by Ryen:Basically, these people are wasting tax-payer money... Consider their monthly wages? Is this democratic or communist country??? I'm starting to have doubts with the government systems. Seems like our Lee family is trying hard to make themselves as a royal family, but let me tell you that even the England royal family have to come down from power one day... Singapore needs to have a revolution sooner or later and i'm actually predicting it will come...
The rich became richer and the poor will remain as poor but will never die out of stravation...
"Beijing" solution can work due to 2 reasons,1st,China's economic reforms only started not long ago,around 1980's,so it is still quite conservative.2nd,if i am not wrong,the government brought in troops from other provinces to suppress the protest.Originally posted by ctstalin:Wow, it's easy to say anything since you're all the way in NZ.

From what i know only Singapore is "special",that is why our politics has always been a "laughing stock" for the public n foreigners!Originally posted by ctstalin:Dear All,
I find it quite ridiculous about our government. It's true that LKY made a very significant contribution to singapore--no doubt about that. But when he stepped down as PM long time ago, he should have stepped out of the picture, but for whatever reason, a new post called SM (lewd huh) was created for him. Then GCT stepped down as PM, GCT became SM and LKY is now the MM.
Now ask yourself, do you see other countries with such weird positions???
