Friend, dirty Harry isn't actually lying when he says that it will benefit "the public". He just never said which members/group of the public it will benefit.Originally posted by drawer:I hear his speech about increasing GST to 7% recently n the reduce of company tax to 1%,his speech show that he is a completely inhuman person now.He says government policy cannot please the public n it has to go against the majorities objection so as to benefit the public in the long term.
He is such an !diot now,i believe boot-licker Goh also learn from his bad habbit.This fuking Lou Lee must die,if he dont die,our life will be very difficult.Only after his death,our life will be better.

Its not easy to forget, esp if it has impact on your daily life,ie transportation, grocies etc etc.Originally posted by spinsugar:Friend, dirty Harry isn't actually lying when he says that it will benefit "the public". He just never said which members/group of the public it will benefit.Things have been spiralling downward for the past decade or so.. You know and I know that it's only going to get harder for us peasants who hail from the middle class and below.
Getting emotionally involved will only make you a bitter, angry citizen (think of those PAP-bashing taxi drivers). The only way to survive in Singapore happily right now is to ignore, or be ignorant of, things.
But don't despair, the old man is not immortal. If Singapore is too stifling, you might consider migration (whether temporarily or permanently, up to you). At least that way, you can keep sane and focus on the important things in your life while the gahmen out the mess it created.![]()

Other then "reading", you have to "think" deeper and analyze further...Originally posted by blue_crimson_89:hmm.. learning history back in secondary school and research from wikipedia makes me realise he is an intelligent man.. intelligent but not perfect.. this just might be one of the times he isnt perfect.. yes, up to 7% down to 1 %.. bad for us, good for foreigners (AGAIN!!) imo, this is a move to shift sgreans OUT of singapore.. make sgreans become lawyers in britain, financial advisors in US, pop star in taiwan (hint hint) and yada yada.. why earn income here in sg? look elsewhere so we can keep the BEST here! cos the best can afford 7% gst with fat incomes which are assisted by 1% company tax.. middle-range income hurts a lot here cos of increase in company revenue and profits, providing upper-range income to increase.. yes, middle-range income increases, but disposable income is NOT.. with increased taxes and inflation and yada yada, middle-range income is hurt with higher costs of living as a whole..
back to the topic at hand, lky is the "father" of singapore, yes.. he is a man to be admired to be so motivated and determined after the japanese occupation.. he stepped forth to repair and develop our broken nation.. perhaps so many years of power has gotten into him, perhaps not.. but i believe he is ESSENTIAL for singapore.. singapore needs lky.. without him, a PUNY island with no resources nor manners would not be able to become what we are now.. no man is perfect, this is something singapore has to learn.. when everything is good, how much recognition has he been given? the new generation holds no respect for him.. the only recognition he's been getting lately are monetary and none as a respectable man.. he is an old man yes, certainly not immortal, but his death means GREAT trouble for singapore.. despite the locals losing out, it is for the future that we do not lose out, for generations to come.. the greatest challenge for singapore, for should i say pm lee hsien loong, is when lky passes away.. would lee hsien loong be able to carry on the "legacy"? this is a huge task.. is he capable, is anyone capable enough? we should be worrying about this more than 7% of gst and 1% of company tax dun you think?
P.S. i'm looking for information regarding the lee "legacy", can anyone help me out? i'm only 17 i dunno stuff from before well.. like mr lee hsien loong's admission to the cabinet and his family and all.. only read up on wiki, but i feel that's utterly insufficient.. thanks very much!! =) and forgive my kiddy language here =x

Most internet materials are not trustworthy, I would say get mm lee's memoir. If i am not wrong, he written one and his granddaughter written one. Other then this 2, get some other books written by the opposition of sg. When u want to analyze in depth, get as many books from all sources. But keep in mind that most books that tok bad about him might not be on sale in sg.Originally posted by blue_crimson_89:all right spencer, thanks for the "comments".. without reading up anything about him, how can i really analyse? i'd love to think deeeeeeply into this issue but i for one, find mm lee a brilliant man who deserves beyond respect.. like what can i say, he's respectable, not to mention intelligent.. but i have doubts on pm lee hsien loong.. his position in the cabinet may be his ability but i'm quite sure he's got pushes and help.. just wanna know more.. analysis is based on knowledge, not comments..
Ya,when Lou Goh make speeches quoted from Lee family,he seem uneasy.But one thing is i dont know why he is so afraid of the Lee family,i am sooo disappointed with him....Originally posted by the Bear:there's more than just the words..
if you see lao lee saying those things, he believes it.. you see lao goh, he is uneasy as if he was coerced into saying those things...
therein, you can read what is going on behind closed doors..
Yes i know,thats why most country leaders after make some contribution to their country,they choose to retire before getting too old n go crazy like Lou Lee.Originally posted by vito_corleone:if i put you in a position where u have near-absolute power for 50 years you'll have the exact same mindset as him : "i made singapore therefore i own singapore"![]()
