the garmen

the newer garmen board can make it or not?? they tend to look more idealistic IMO....

You want some honest view from me?.......Well,i dont think they can make it.Yes,when young Lee step up to be PM,he does alot of thing that is beneficial to the public.But let us not forget,when Lou Goh step up as a PM that time,he also "appear" to be a very democratic n "negotiable" PM.But later on when he got screwed by Lou Lee after his first general election,what happens to him.He turn into a basically "one-way communication PM",anyhow raise the cost of our living as if his father own this country.Oh well,so much so for the "wonderful" pleadges during his PM succession ceremony.......
Of coz,i dont hate young Lee.Becoz his father has high hope on him n this has constantly pressurize young Lee throughout his years.And moreover,his "fake uncle" Lou Goh had messed up this country for the past 14 years also make his job as a PM now more difficult...........I believe that he would be a much happier person if he was a commoner or a simple businessman like his younger brother,he would definitely be more satisfy with his life...... -
What does a "textbook" minister know about a sportsman/sportswoman (entrepreneur) life, working, earning and living as he does in an ivory tower?
Inspire by speeches and academic/medical certs? Where are the sports medals?
They sure don't look like excellent examples to heed and learn from
to be inspired and succeed in life.
Better to take their words with a POUND of salt.

It is too early to say, but the new government would definitely face an uphill challenge in retaining Singapore's competitiveness amongst up-and-coming neighbouring countries like Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and China.

Don't kid yourselves lah, the Government never had a 'board'.
Only one man decides our country's policies, and all according to his personal ambition. You see, he wants to create a name for himself internationally before he goes - and we are paying that costs for him to do it!
Be street smart guys, tell yourselves you have been hoodwinked long enough.
Time to wipe off the mud in your eyes. -
Why so negative... i'm not an advocate of PAP or anything, but frm what i see, the present govt is heading in a generally good direction--- the overhaul in education sys, though a bit confusing now, is a baby step in a great way...
Granted that S'pore may not enjoy the current prosperity, due to macro enviroment factors like neighbouring countries catching up.
So it may not be entirely the govt's fault

Study here but don't stay here.

A few tentative changes have been made but only slowly. A swallow does not make a summer. The denial or justification sydrome seems quite persistent. With every justification put on shows there will again be delays to solutions of real problems to cause yet more sufferings of many affected.Originally posted by A Beautiful Mind:Why so negative... i'm not an advocate of PAP or anything, but frm what i see, the present govt is heading in a generally good direction--- the overhaul in education sys, though a bit confusing now, is a baby step in a great way...

The old ways and outdated tax-and-recover governance are overwhelmingly used as easy way of creating surpluses without much creativity. The acclaimed remaking of past pro-foreign economic model is taking a long time to show any results.
Go survey and interview objectively to see how are the domestic sector benefitting from any overall master entrepreneurial plan or master economic strategy. They are suffering greatly.
Most of the 20 problems of autocracy as posted in "Definition of True Democracy" e.g. high costs of living and loss of economic competitiveness due to lack of promotion of local domestic sector of the economy are not yet solved or receiving any particular attention. So I can agree only with half of your statement - government is now trying something. The major problems and great hardship are denied or overwhelmed by the media with slanted reporting. The few lucky ones are those working within the circle or networks registered for ongoing opportunities or getting good deals but these are mostly the GLCs and bigger businesses not the majority. -

As long as our neighbour countries r no as strong as Sing (currency), I think all should be fine.
Oil price stable
Thailand dont open new short cut trading route (sea)
Thailand new airport wouldnt be so successful
US continue to be strong
Our FTA policy works
5 to 6 million population in Sing achievable
Workers continue to work hard
