Were the young rude to MM?
-
Ok totally agree on these points. But still, the choice of youths could have been betterOriginally posted by the Bear:i do not mean each person.. i mean he owes his country..
and the youth represent the future of his country.. the country.. OUR country..
if he is dismissive and looks at them with contempt, treats them with derision and puts them down without listening to their worries, he's lost his right to lead, he's forgotten what it means to be a normal citizen..
by the way, as a "democracy", the youths were doing the right thing.. and that is to take their politicians, their leaders, the people in power, to task... that is the duty and responsibility of the citizenry of a mature people...
besides, everyone knows... if the leaders are not taken to task, TT Durai and NKF happens

one more thing to add..
at my workplace, when my officers are right, and the member of the public is wrong but still very buey kam guan.... they will make a complaint...
guess what?
"your officer very rude"
when they fail in trying to be right with the facts, they will resort to personal attacks like that..
"were the young rude to MM?" or... "you young whippersnappers very rude" -
what i heard most is 'wait, let me finish it'

But i think MM was trying to soft sell his idea. And when it didn't work, he tried to hard sell them...don't think there was any menace meant like the above. -
whatever
both side got home losers.

when no one wants to buy your product, you go check your product...
you do not cram it down the throats of your customers..
maybe lau lee thinks he can because he:
a) has become divorced from reality
b) thinks he's better than anyone else
c) thinks he's earned that right coz he's "the founding father"
d) thinks he's right no matter how right or wrong he is
e) all of the aboveOriginally posted by kAdEn:Hahahah.....

yesterday my supervisor n colleagues were discussing bout it. they find the young quite rude n disrespect to gahman. i told them dat gahman also nvr gave them freedom to speak. but they gave me tis, "MM is a leader afterall n he has the right to make his speech clear. i believe no workers will try to talk rudely to their boss."
i was speechless... quite true...

hmm.. thats old fashioned thinking lah. they still think he is god and believes he should be revered; even if hes not up to the job also give him face. i believe if hes not up to the job we should just throw him away....Originally posted by 798:yesterday my supervisor n colleagues were discussing bout it. they find the young quite rude n disrespect to gahman. i told them dat gahman also nvr gave them freedom to speak. but they gave me tis, "MM is a leader afterall n he has the right to make his speech clear. i believe no workers will try to talk rudely to their boss."

rude? of course not.
this is a public forum afterall. if u don't agree with one's point of view, u sound out and give your reasons.
u don't sit there raise your hand if u want to ask a question. or wait in line for your turn to come. this is not a question and answer session. -
That is not rudeness.Rudeness comes when you attack the person and his style, not his message.Originally posted by 798:yesterday my supervisor n colleagues were discussing bout it. they find the young quite rude n disrespect to gahman. i told them dat gahman also nvr gave them freedom to speak. but they gave me tis, "MM is a leader afterall n he has the right to make his speech clear. i believe no workers will try to talk rudely to their boss."

Many bosses cannot differentiate between employee frankness and employee sarcasm.It's simply pathetic. -
If one's talking about MM being the boss and we the workers, again, same point as said earlier.
Being the boss doesn't imply you get to rule over workers' heads and overrule everything else they say/simply brush it off.
But then again, that's my opinion with regards to the casino issue.
Maybe we just have to acknowledge the "idea" that "I'm higher rank than you and therefore I 0wn u!" -
A civil society is one where the rule of law prevails and its government will uphold the same law and not gerrymander the law for its own diverse purposes to the disregard of the enduring wishes, aspiration or interest of the people.
In a civil society, people will accrue due respect to their leaders naturally of their own volition and not be coerced into blind submision to authority or false obeisance. -
he thinks he is always right. he is trying to beat the youths with his tact as a cross-examiner and he also gave me an impression he is trying to instill fear.
remember what he said about his grandchildren crossing the line?
why have the dialogue in the first place if the youths are afraid of offending him? they are not there to kiss his ass i am sure. -

The Dialogue only show the various reporters trying to push their questions with a limited time given.
They should have sort out their agenda before they talk with MM.
They are just going round in circles with the demand of fair political playing field for Singapore.
They were too anxious in putting their questions through and did not really mean to be rude to MM Lee.
Sad to say, some of the Singaporeans are too brain-washed or chicken through dealing with man of authority that they are trying to label the youth as rude individual. -

loyal subjects shouldn't question the supreme authority of our beloved regime.
the fact that it's a Q&A session is no excuse.
they shouldn't ask him challenging questions on national TV,
the least they could do was 'ask' easy questions so he can claim credit for our nation's achievements
-
Sorry, the way they can't waited to ask questions really presented to viewer like me that they are rushing for time, therefore looked rude to some of viewers which may included me.
To be better, just ask question slowly and orderly may be able make viewers feel better, I would think that way.No offence. -
Its never equal to begin with...Originally posted by babymac13:It's more like debate. Should look at them with equal status.
...the youths will still be around 30 years down the road... -
Then they should pick ppl from sgForums to head the discussion panel?Originally posted by Medicated Oil:The Dialogue only show the various reporters trying to push their questions with a limited time given.

Yes all of us like Lazerlord, Atobe, ...(many more) will make a good panel to de-salmanise MM Lee on a panel on TV with no hold barred.Originally posted by LazerLordz:ask robertteh and who could forget Salman. -
