Feisty exchanges in Parliament

Given a 2-3 year trial , when the minister don't deliver world class results .. the tax payers will need to boot him/her off the lot. No need to wait for the next election.
The question is.. are our ministers up to the challenge ?
The effect of the policies is (in my opinion) based on statistics polling. It is through the regular collection of feedback and data that determines the success of policies. Of course, not all success indicators of policies are based on hard facts. Some are opened to subjective interpretation.
E.g. 1: ERP implementation - based on traffic count, and businesses (kopitiams, neighbourhood convenient stores, etc.). Not popular, but effective or not is based on immediate results.
E.g. 2: Baby Bonus to increase fertility rate - Tempting to couples onset, but does it mean that the incentives will be effective?
In a nutshell, ministers are here to oversee, control & manage the whole process of policy making. Not too sure about the accountability. It includes pitching the benefits & manage expectations of the public. Are ministers directly accountable for the execution of the policies? Cite example of DPM Wong Kan Seng for MSK's escape.
