Just assume there is one lah ! !Originally posted by Ito_^:got minister here meh?
I guess the minister should work hard on their own plans, every party will have their own agenda so why talk about others as being bad. They should just execute their own adgenda and let the result of the election judge itself.Originally posted by nanren4ever:By having more than 1 minister comment on the WP's manifesto, is telling the public that the PAP views WP more seriously than needed. I don't see the need for the ministers to get so excited and hyped up about the need to comment on their manifesto, considering that it WON'T even threaten much the PAP. Whatever the WP said in their manifesto comes down to the need to use of the reserves which could have an adverse effect long term.

Absolutely true, change is what the leaders keep telling people to do but they alone cannot change. Just imagine, after so many years of brandishing the so-called value-adding economic restructuring, what have they achieved but prolonged recessions when other Asian Tigers have led the recovery.Originally posted by Spirit of Fire:Tried & tested methods can only be applicable in certain situations, not all situations, understand or not PAP??? Change is permanent in this world. Steam engines aren't applicable for civilisations at this point of time now. Others already using Windows XP, u still use Windows 3.1. Do u get it or not PAP??? Really if the PAP still don't change, don't dare to try out new ideas, still stuck with the tried & tested methods, be prepared to be phased out.
With our small population, do you think we'd be able to create and sustain self-reliant domestic companies that are competitive and viable?Originally posted by robertteh:Absolutely true, change is what the leaders tell people to do but they are the ones who cannot change. Just imagine, after so many years of much-talked- about value-adding economic restructuring, our own domestic industries are in tetters and have failed to take off. So what is so tried and tested about the old-fashion foreign investment model when all the Asian Tigers have long ago realized the limitations of such model and have already gone further ahead developing their own self-reliant domestic sector when our leaders are still boasting about attracting foreeign investments and talents.
It is self-reliance that will carry us further. We need to but have neglected nurturing our own domestic wing for a long time. Now it seems to little too late to try anything except to hope that some of our own GLCs will somehow fill the big vaccuum created due to past neglect.Originally posted by SilverPal:With our small population, do you think we'd be able to create and sustain self-reliant domestic companies that are competitive and viable?
Certain salmans would declare that our GLCs are the self-reliant domestic companies that will sustain sg.

This work is not to be left to the Opposition Politicians only, as it concerns the FUTURE of ALL SINGAPOREANS.
SINGAPOREANS should wake up from the deep sleep that the Ruling Party has pushed us into - with a constant threat to "sleep peacefully or face the consequences"
The Opposition Parties cannot do the job without the support of Ordinary Singaporeans.
POLITICS is not something abstract.
POLITICS is about OUR LIFE, OUR VERY EXISTENCE in SINGAPORE,
POLITICS is the RESPONSIBILITY OF EACH and EVERY SINGAPOREAN - especially those who are disillusioned and angry with the past and on-going policies of the Ruling Political Party.
[b]I have come to the conclusion that politics are too serious a matter to be left to the politicians.
Charles De Gaulle (1890 - 1970)
Politics is the art of preventing people from taking part in affairs which properly concern them.
Paul Valery (1871 - 1945), Tel Quel 2 (1943)
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.
Plato (427 BC - 347 BC)

sad to say, the media in Singapor belongs to PAP, so their voice will always be louder than the WP.Originally posted by ahtansh:I guess the minister should work hard on their own plans, every party will have their own agenda so why talk about others as being bad.
