He never viewed Singaporeans as the same kind as him, which is why he keeps on calling for Singaporeans to stay united when he is the one feeling he is not the same as Singaporeans. Singaporeans are already united but he still keep thinking that they are not united because he is the one having the problem, not recognizing that Singaporeans are the same kind as him. He is the one dividing the people. He feels so insecure with Singaporeans, that he has to keep on calling for “Singapore United”, when the problem lies in him. Why is he having this problem? Because he wants to cling on to power, he wants to cling on to the wealth he stole from Singaporeans, he wants to cling on to his Dynasty which he can pass down to his descendents, and the only way to do that is to divide the people, bring in large amounts of foreign workers to marginalize Singaporeans, to ruin the lives of Singaporeans so that he can stay in power.
He brings in excessive amounts of foreign workers to replace Singaporeans and to make Singaporeans jobless. And in such an economic crisis, all he can come up with a solution is to build a casino. He wants to make Singapore into a Casino City. He wants to make Singaporeans become gamblers, he wants to ruin their lives, he wants to make the children suffer. He doesn’t mind if a casino in a city state will create a lot of social problems to Singaporeans because he views Singaporeans are not the same kind as him and so it is not his problem. All he can think of is "Casino, Casino, Casino, Casino" for Singapore, he cannot get it off his mind, he really has a sick mind there.
What Singapore needs now is a Real Singaporean Leader to lead Singaporeans in times of crisis and prosperity.
Lee Hsien Loong should step down from the role as Prime Minister of Singapore.

PM Lee calls on Singaporeans to work together to find solutions to the crisis |
The 'Singapore United' way was how the country could achieve the best possible outcome for both workers and businesses, and emerge stronger in the longer term, he said.
'If we handle this well, we will pull through and emerge with stronger trust for each other, as we have done many times before,' he added.
He was speaking at the 50th anniversary celebration of the Singapore Manual and Mercantile Workers' Union (SMMWU), the biggest union here, and one of the oldest.
It has 240 branches and 85,000 members, from sectors like retail, food manufacturing and logistics.
Mr Lee noted that in many countries, people were getting worried and frustrated about their jobs, and many looked for someone to blame. As a result, they lashed out at governments, foreign workers and immigrants.
'The country becomes divided, people react emotionally, and problems become harder to solve,' he said, noting that in France, three million people protested against President Nicolas Sarkozy a few days ago.
But these protesters offered no alternative plans, he pointed out. 'After the anger, the letting off of steam, France is no nearer a solution to the crisis.'
Commenting on the Group of 20 summit which will take place this week in London, he said he hoped G-20 leaders would commit to upholding free trade and reach a mutual understanding that protectionist policies at home would simply result in them 'acting at cross purposes' and making things 'worse for all'.
Singapore has no control over its external environment and must 'make the best of what we have', he said.
This was why 'we must make the extra effort to stay united...think through our problems calmly and rationally, and work together to overcome this challenge', he said.
Unions such as SMMWU - which he described as a key asset in Singapore's tripartite partnership - have important responsibilities in this downturn, he stressed.
The union should continue to work with companies to stave off job losses - for example, by encouraging more companies to tap on the Skills Programme for Upgrading and Resilience (Spur), a $600 million government-sponsored training programme.
Spur currently has 735 companies committing some 38,000 workers for training, which the Government heavily subsidises.
The union can also help retrenched workers by encouraging them to go for retraining and to take up available jobs, Mr Lee said.
SMMWU secretary-general John De Payva announced last night that the union had raised some $500,000 to help needy union workers and their families.
The money came from last night's dinner proceeds, donations and the launch of its 50th anniversary book, which chronicles the struggles of the SMMWU.
In his speech, PM Lee noted how cooperation between the Government, unions and businesses has been a key advantage for Singapore as it tries to pull through this downturn.
The Government has also taken decisive measures to respond to the crisis, he noted, such as putting in place programmes like Spur and the $20.5 billion Resilience Package.
Despite the gloom, there are still bright spots in the economy.
The Employment and Employability Institute, which tries to match jobs and workers, still has some 13,000 job openings, half of them in the service sector, Mr Lee noted. 'Workers should take full advantage of these opportunities,' he urged.
PM: Use downturn to raise service quality
The current downturn is an opportunity to improve Singapore's service quality, said Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong last night.
Addressing an issue that is often the subject of public lament, he noted that workers are now taking training and upgrading more seriously because of the downturn.
A culture of service will be especially critical if the integrated resorts (IRs) - which will open by next year - are to succeed, he said.
Recalling his visit to the Las Vegas casinos, Mr Lee noted how he was told that the casino experience is like 'theatre'.
'People go there to enjoy themselves. They want smiling faces, good service, and to be well taken care of. They go happy and come back happy. Even if their wallet is a bit lighter, they are happy to come again,' he said.
He also noted how Hong Kong previously had a reputation for being efficient, but not for its service.
But that changed after the 1997 Asian financial crisis. Mr Lee said:
'They changed their attitudes, they became responsive and were willing to go the extra mile, and to stay open late if you want to shop late.'
Singapore should follow suit and change attitudes and mindsets.
This, he stressed, was a job not just for the IRs, but anywhere customer service is involved.

With the GIC and Temasek Holdings fiasco and the recent talk about Singapore's economy shrinking about 5%, if gahmen decide to hold elections, expect opposition to campaign hard on PAP's weak leadership and financial guidance(but who the hell predicts the economy???) and people might vote them in(IMHO the best chance for opposition to get seats in Parliarment).
Tell you already... Next time vote properly. Don't be enticed and swayed by temporary monetary treats.
