LHL doesn't want to lead the ppl
-
In the program "Up close", LHL said it shouldn't be one person to decide but the ppl of S'pore to decide the kind of S'pore we want.In my opinion, LHL who is the PM doesn't intend to lead the ppl.His view is similar to GCT.
[He also gave a very fair opinion on the politics of S'pore.If u didn't watch the program,pls find out his views yourself.] -
Then who should lead us? On second thought, do we really need anyone to lead us?Originally posted by PRP:In the program "Up close", LHL said it shouldn't be one person to decide but the ppl of S'pore to decide the kind of S'pore we want.In my opinion, LHL who is the PM doesn't intend to lead the ppl.His view is similar to GCT.

We are already get lead by a bunch of "Nanny".......

He's leading us? That's news to me.
Seriously, LKY is still around right? So doesn't, in technical terms, LKY still continue to rule in stead, using his eldest son as his younger representation? -
LKY still in control? The conclusion of the casino debate involved him doing a reluctant about-turn on his three-decade-old anti-gambling stand. From that incident, I gather he is losing his grip on power.Originally posted by timothytsgsg:He's leading us? That's news to me.

Well, maybe. But till he dies, he won't let go. He thinks he's the Emperor- like those from ancient China. So till death takes him, he will be around.Originally posted by iveco:LKY still in control?

Iveco,
If PM doesn't lead the ppl, what is PM for? -
You don't need the PM to lead the people. Empower the local councils and we can still manage even in the event the PM is down due to whatever reason.Originally posted by PRP:Iveco,

A collective management is one where ideas and decisions are integrated to work processes to motivate staff to perform them in teamwork with everyone contributing his part in coordination and knowledge application.Originally posted by iveco:You don't need the PM to lead the people.

It is well known that our leaders run the system by making all the major decisions but not well versed in implementing them. Thus a collective management has not been attained to motivate all to excel in carrying out policies and decisions.
That is why all the assumptions continue to affect efficiency and change to meet new environments and circumstances. While other Asian tigers have leapt ahead like Korea and China, we still practised old management theories like tripartism which does not work any more, meritocracy being too steeped in promoting self-importance and grades at the expense of entrepreneurial and broad-based education, non-welfarism leading to extreme of government overcharging for every service to produce surpluses that deprive the economic growth, SIA and PSA keeping to its value pricing policies until challenged by external forces, or MOE failing to make changes to all the meritocratic assumptions about education etc.
Problems are caused to every level to delay change because no one is powerful enough to change all the sacred cow assumptions no matter how irrelevant.

You need a PM to protect the people. But our PM is not doing the right thing. So It's time to change right ? Time for him to lose his fat salary isn't it ?
-
A PM is paid to do a job but in our case, the PM pays two more ex-PMs to
do his job and it's not from his own pocket!!! The hands-off attitude of a leader
in handling the Clob debacle and the Sg-My water agreement turns me off.
What we really need is a leader who became successful from rags (very resourceful with little) and who envisions, starts and delivers properly, not run away when problems pop up.

I don't think PM Lee Hsien-Loong meant not to lead the people when he said that the people of Singapore should decide the kind of Singapore they wanted. He may be adopting a consultative approach to let the people decide what they want, and he as the helmsman, would do his best to steer the country in that direction.

The million-dollar question, however, is: Are the people of Singapore really given the power to decide the kind of Singapore they want?
In a way, yes. The people of Singapore are given the power to decide what they want, but only by voting in the people they want for the government. The problem is once the government has been elected, the people of Singapore would have to suffer the decisions, for better or for worse, made by such government "on behalf of the people" in "the people's best interests". -
