Low Thia Khiang speech in parliament
-
This is good.
He brought out a couple of valid points.
-With current pay benchmarking, Government always get top pay irregardless of performance, while European MPs get pay penalisation if not up to standard.
-MPs has high-job security while private sectors do not.
-Singapore ranks 34 in quality of life in 2006.
etc etc -
you finally link it properly,
god damn it! -
Some things that needed to be said.. finally gets said.. of course, not reported in ST.
Does anyone have the link to the video of LKY's reply? -
lky is a taiji master, when he can't answer to the point, he will reply it with a question....typical old school lawyer stuff..and then when he further failed in his delivery, he went on to insult other govts ranked less corrupt...calling them mediocre...!!!
apparently not one to pay heed to the divine phrase...'pride comes before destruction'.....
for all the rants....it's a moot point........i would still have respected them as an efficient lot...but this latest display of insatiable greed is really a big turn off....from the supermarket cashier to my neighbour i ran into yesterday, all of them express disgust...... -
No matter how good his (Mr. Low) speech can be... PAP is still going ahead of pay rise even when the people are strongly against it...
They have basically cut out or "censor" those topics against them in the media...
Hmm.. where's our citizen rights... -
it may come to some once every 5 years. but does the citizen wants it?Originally posted by Beckhamagic:No matter how good his (Mr. Low) speech can be... PAP is still going ahead of pay rise even when the people are strongly against it...

we have no rights, we have no say, and we long to be free one day.
our happiness was not to be, until our ctry could be free.
we pledge to kip our nation 'free', with 'justice' and 'equality' -
Ask yourself do you want to play with the rule that was set up by wolf or cunning fox? Do you want to wait for 5 years when you know they will be causing more misery for the period of 5 years?Originally posted by SevenEleven:it may come to some once every 5 years. but does the citizen wants it? -
So when will you hit them with People's power? I plan to withdraw money out of bank before that happens.Originally posted by (human):Ask yourself do you want to play with the rule that was set up by wolf or cunning fox?

Come to think of it, since the pay rise is still coming regardless of the debate, those PAP MPs can say how sucks it is to be raising minister salaries, so you would think wow PAP MPs do oppose. But they still go to the toilet, flush it and laugh.

My only hope is for the opposition parties to field enough candidates in the next GE so that thereÂ’s no automatic walkover for the ruling party in any constituency.
Next election, I will vote for the opposition. Good or bad, I donÂ’t care. IÂ’ll take the chance.
I've had enough of PAP's bull crap.
PAP is driving me crazy ! -
If they keep up their nonsense and arrogance, they won't last another 2 GEs... -
hard to say wor....if opposition dun field any people, pap still wins...Originally posted by ShutterBug:If they keep up their nonsense and arrogance, they won't last another 2 GEs... -
All of a sudden all the pro-MIW people in the forum is gone...
Speechless? -
do they intend to?Originally posted by ShutterBug:If they keep up their nonsense and arrogance, they won't last another 2 GEs...
Anyways, they will last for the next 50 years.
People will keep voting them in because people will only remember the "goodies" that is given before election and forget about the hard times the party makes right after election.
GRC can be changed into walkovers. No one can even do anything at all.
At this rate, with all the wealth, spirit and people will be broken. With all these done, when the party leaves, it is made sure that the next succeeding party will fail. Hence, proving their prophecy and we will be inclined to vote them back
With the high salary, they do not need to worry even if they do not hold office. They can buy countries with it and live there.
With all their power, they have placed their people everywhere. There will always be supporters and sympathizers.
hence, 2 GEs? hahahaaaa... Wait another 50 years or more. -

Where's Lionoisy when you need all his statistics to show that our Govt is incorruptible? -
Quite true what you say, but how much more can a people take before forced-obedience gives way to revolt?Originally posted by mistyblue:do they intend to?

I agree many are just too comfy with their lives to wanna "rock the boat", but mind you, these comfy people are moving out of here very consistently. Eventually when there is only the core people left along with the foreigners here, their days will be numbered.
With the way our gov behave, I don't seriously believe that the many FTs and PRs here will wanna sprout roots and stay here... they too, will know that they will have to end up feeding a VERY EXPENSIVE government that provides nothing, but Instant Noodle solutions and policies...
I said it many times before; NOTHING, and NO MAN, is forever....King or Slave... -

freedom, spirit and any sense of right had been breed or brain washed out of the people. The next generation are brainwashed constantly.
Look at N Korea - people still think the highest of Kim even though they are eating sh!t and suffering. -
who still dares to go against the current party?

Who ever thought a Tsunami would hit this region in 2005, when it did?Originally posted by mistyblue:who still dares to go against the current party?
Sometimes, or rather oftentime, the most unlikely things do happen...
I know that people here are generally brain-washed... but there are more and more people today with brains that are un-washable! (LOL)
And we're two such example..!!! hahahahaarrr...!!
