It's human to make mistakes. We should face up to realistic issues. Singapore cultures and politics need to align with realities of humanities and real life issues. Political development is part of life And life is real. We need face up to real life issues. So should politics.
All the ministers who made mistake base on bad judgement got take responsibility mehhhh??? Really??? Haiyah, sorry, getting old liao, got bad memory. Anyway, no matter what PAP, don't worry you all still champions, Minister's are from which party? Anyway, opposition is just the citizens voice mah. If going against your ideal just buat bodoh sua. What can the citizens do? Riot? Try lah!! Strike? See who kena strike after RU come down. Silent protest also can kena.
He said that ministers are expected to know everything about the ministries, my question is how are newly elected MPs who turn into ministers in just a few short months supposed to know everything there is to know about the ministry? Is he telling us that anyone can become a minister by attending some internal crash course? Then I would think that such ministers don't warrant a million dollar paycheck since they are easily repleacable.
I listened to both, PM is way more sensible, he knows what he is talking. PS did not put on his own thinking cap, he just merely quote LKY's view & presume he can get away with it
4:54 If the ministers are the executives, why are heads not rolled when incidents like the Mas Selamat escape or the constant breakdowns of the MRT and LRT occur? What about going over budget for the Youth Olympics? Yet so much time was spent debating the AHPTC debacle? Aiyoh!!!!
LHL really isn’t as visionary as his father. Built into the nation a burning desire to better Singapore so they can overlook their differences for the greater good of Singapore. All Singaporeans are team players of Singapore. Singapore are in their own hand.
You are right PM lee. Pm abesan did make the change because he was given a chance and so did PM Kishida .Which means you should also give others a chance ,retire and enjoy your life.
The committee of supply minster also did not know about the job until he learnt about it. So whats there to debate? Many can do the job going through the same process.
One party monopoly is also bad. 2 strong party system can be good. If govt is not good enough, change for a better one. If PAP is very good, the other party will be opposition for a long time. Let people have a choice to evaluate the govt. Do not underestimate other party that can serve people as well.
Ask your minister go down to the real world outside like kopi tiam and walk walk. Feel the situation and what's really happened. No meeting and meeting whereby the whole lot don't know what is happening and finally made wrong decision and your vote goes dowm it's happening already LHL. Whole team only know how to yayapapaya
this is just sooooo lame. he said ministers need to know everything about the ministries they run.. and yet no sooner does a minister get familiarized than he gets shuffled to another one? the way the PAP changes minsters from one ministry to the other is exactly like the revolving door he was talking about. and huh? boasting about how the government finessed the covid situation? does he not know just how much more damage has been done by the government? (and indeed, without accepting blame, he has made so many u-turns... ya, thats the kind of expertise we need indeed!) and the whole thing about japan is so misleading. Abenomics is precisely why japan is in such mess. but as bad as things were, i would rather live there than in singapore during those intervening years between abe's premierships... certainly japan did much better in terms of GDP growth, savings rate, and social cohesion for the past 40 years than singapore. much better. so what really is he talking about?
PAP cannot even hand over properly to the 4G mob....you think they can hand over to another party? The question to ask though is why the PAP always gives the narrative that if they are voted out, Singapore will face armageddon?
because theyve been the ruling party forever.a change in government would be a very drastic change for investors to adapt to.They have never seen the workers party in action but they have consistently seen results from the pap.Economically,the country will do worse for a brief period of time before it possibly stabilises.Singaporeans will cnfm make noise when unemployment rate increases --> i wouldnt say armageddon but there will be greater discontent for a period of time at least.
7:08 "Anybody can make it happen" ? Seriously? Looking down on people ? No matter how many good words you use , this sentence really not appropriate. You won't be where you are without your late Father Mr Lee Kwan yew .
PM Lee: "Did the country do well (Japan before the time of PM Abe, when the system was like a revolving door parliament)? The answer is no." Ok PM Sir, im thinking aloud now on behalf of my fellow citizens, have we been doing very well then, since the past few years till this present day? Hmmm...Today the country is facing its toughest crisis ever, and is able to tap on the reserves to tide over this difficult time. The country owes a debt of gratitude to the past generations of leaders during Mr LKY's time. But not to this current one.
PM wants to dominate the opposition with oppression from right to wrong or wrong to right, usually from right to wrong. If the PAP Policy is transparent and good for public survival then the opposition and public do not has a stance to debate its policy in the Parliament. In this case any suggestion or opinion brought in the Parliament Debate is good for the Authority to reminiscent it to the right track instead of pushing it away into a bickering argument leading to nowhere resolving the crisis. Not all opinion or suggestion is bad and the authority must not be embarrass but to salvage the situation and quietly adapt it to their policy to improve the quality and standard of improving the country for better survival of her people.
The PAP is not allowing the viewers to entertain the thought of a successful opposition. The rhetoric is not PAP = bad for country. And this is untrue. Without the opposition, there is no checks and balances on decisions being made. And this cannot in any way benefit Singaporeans. if the PAP is true and genuine, then they should not be concerned with who wins the majority seat as it would be the best for the country.
Dear Mr Martin Lee, you have obviously not witnessed the fall of a country and spoken to refugees? I HAVE. Many times when I was studying in Europe and now in the middle east. If we adopt such demands from the WP, we, as a small nation cannot handle the consequences that Europe and the middle east are suffering now. Racial and religious tension, serious unemployment and inwardness.
There must be a distinction between locals and new citizens. I waited 21 years to vote but new citizens just walked in easily to get SG citizenship and vote immediately.
There's already a distinction. Your Singlish is better than theirs. Still not happy? ok la give you bumiputera policy ho bo? you not paiseh i also paiseh. Our official national language is Malay. if you really want to go there to distinguish native Singaporean, both you and I will be out also. Save it.
That sounds like second-class citizenship to me. It's also not easy to "just get citizenship" in Singapore as you said, noone can get it in just two or three years, people are certainly not just walking in and getting citizenship. Have you not known any PRs who still have not gotten their citizenship despite being Singaporean through and through? (I know I answered a year late)
@@cloroxbleach9222 don't assume if you are unsure. Who the fuk is a 2nd class citizen? are you referring to yourself? Assumption is the key failure to all idiotic behaviour. and by the way, SG is the easiest country in the world who can get citizenship. No other country in the world betray the welfare of their citizens to welcome foreigners and easily give them citizens except SG.
@@asky368ify Singapore citizenship is not the easiest in the world to get, how did you get that idea. Singapore citizens get so many benefits over PR and foreigners in Singapore, it would not be in the government's interest to give out citizenship like complimentery sweets. I do want you to tell me how Singapore citizenship is so easy to obtain because it's good to know. Differentiating new citizens and natural citizens by things like voting rights is like creating second-class and first-class citizenry. What we can do instead is just make the process harder if it's so easy to get in. (Wasn't calling you a second-class citizen not my intention)
This is the PAP's usual tactic, to give the impression that the job of running a small city state of 5.6 million population, is so complicated and scary that only the PAP can do it. That shows that they are either too unqualified or incompetent that the task seems overwhelming to them. The people who hear this are supposed to be afraid to hand the government of the country to anyone else. Who are you trying to fool? If it's so difficult, why are some of the ministers holding two or three jobs, treating their ministerial role like a part-time job, while drawing a full minister's salary (which is not a small amount even by global standards)?? In fact this exaggeration of the task of governing the country is the very excuse the PAP has been using to justify their high salaries. As impossible as it may sound, Lim Tean is the best person for the job of PM, and a coalition of parties is what's needed for good government.
Only Capable parenting by PAP for Singapore is a load Bull .by PM. Can't others equally parent Singapore or do better for Singaporean's ? Why is the PM pessimistic on the opposition parties ? .
No Party is dispensible. Voters decide on governance. When the government of the day fails to deliver and fails to fulfil obligations to the electorate. The era of dominant political power is over . The balance of power is the new norm going forward. Accountability & Transparency irrespective whoever governs is the priority & perogative for parliamentary democracy. Balance of power only yardstick for voters . Undeniable & Indisputable fact.
Dear WP, your demands carry grave consequences that Europe is already suffering, pls don't try to be a hero for us, Heros and it's followers always ends up in graves. I don't want to join you in a grave.
the "credible" opposition is using an old giam chye western textbook, while their supporters are still watching old reruns. Pritam & Co offer nothing except soap opera, and old methods which are tried, tested, and proven ineffective. There is simply no breakthrough with this lot. They really have nothing! Omg cannot believe the minimum wage and compassion drama BS. If MW is the magic bullet, why is the Hong Konger still angry?
@@ipanmei3380 The WP conquered countless obstacles created by the PAP machinery and still won the electorate over. This shows that we are still a democracy society regardless of unfair playing ground...phew. then you, as citizen of Singapore should respect the system, i.e. the majority choice at Sengkang, Hougang and Aljunied. Unless, you prefer a one party communist system like China?
@@eoky the PAP conceded defeat in Hougang, Sengkang and Aljunied. made PS leader of opposition. included 2 NCMP jokers from a strange party. What one party communist state are you talking abt? Or are you referring to opposition communalist approach?
Tony, this video was posted one year ago. RU-vid algorithm decided to suggest it to you again. So pls ask RU-vid and not Mothership why they have decided so.
Pls stop pointing fingers at each other. Serve the people who pay Ministers by the millions of taxpayers money. There are corrupt ministers in PAP that need to resign.
The truth no one does thongs the same as the pap may Soho they are and the other party can do things differently because no human is the same we are all different but until they try none of us know what's the result is ever you.....
I agree with LHL. The govt will be very different if PAP is voted out. The govt will become much better. Malaysian here ;) lets go together SG, big bro and small bro can do better together
Don't worry sir, ur party will not be voted out overnight.. we have our plans, just like hsk east coast plan.. we will gradually vote ur party out 1 by 1, term by term.. so as country will not be totally shut off like what u quoted how Japan was like in the past
Opposition is naive to believe and expect the Singapore system would continue to happily sing along its continued path to the prosperity we now have. It would takes endurance and a long time of maybe a generation to form and nuture an opposition political party credible to the present system.
Looking back , Covid management and ‘some out of the world’ bizarre policies are utter failures! Still grasping for air till this day ! globally we are a comic relief for many 😁 thanks to the “task force”
You know what sicken me, you're the governing party that chose to be adversarial rather than a more conciliating outlook. You think you fixed the opposition, we voters are coming after you.
If pap can so can anybody else, its about competency not elitism. The pap ministers are not some alien breed, train the person who is new, teach them and in time they will perform just as well. I mean when the ministers came in they were new as well right. Clean slate. Not auto downloaded by some god above. This is just a gimmick. Logical fallacy at best- we know best because we say so kinda logic...
Pinky language. Jepun didn't do well is because of US sanctions placed on its economy for 30 over years due to jepun products posed a great threat to US products in those days. Jepun still doesn't do well today and continues to decline. So Pinky, your point on PAP and Singapore's success is not relevant at all.
