In full: DPM Lawrence Wong’s May Day Rally speech 

Economy not so good, but still want to charge higher HDB c. Fees , haize .. empty talk 1, 2 months etc rebate, is it enough !? Send redundant ins

u shouldnt approve msian PR + Msian PR to buy HDB house. its a wrong move

WHAT "skills" do YOU have Lawrence Wong.... besides YOU and YOUR so-called 4G team in INCREASING PRICES for us Singaporeans??

Affordable my foot

What median income of singaporean household today is $9000?? Look yourself around shopping mall.. how much salary they are indicating? Not even upto $3000. 2pax income is just around $5k-6k. How could we even afford to buy BTO flat? DPM Wong, dont spread fake data

Total shut down to listen to , compensate the damages, other than that is just empty talk !😊

He can talk what he wants lah..but I present the facts to you..this yr 1% GST show prices of goods and services all raised 10 to 20 and even 30%...which means if you only earn $5000 nett after deduction you will find it tough to raise a family of even 2 kids, including loans to repay. Another 1% next yr, means your $5000per mth have to be at least over $6500 nett to cope with next yr rise in cost. Will you get a raise of at least $1500per month next yr? I know Lawrence will, as a matter of fact, his raise is in a hundred of thousands per month, no less. So WHO DID YOU VOTED FOR?😁😆😆😆😆😆

Ownself talk, ownself clan help to clap

Cost of living in SG..... Cost of living.....Cost of living..... Cost of living...... Cost of living...... GST HIKES..... GST HIKES..... GST HIKES..... GST HIKES..... GST HIKES.....

Wayang

Excellent speech, i like him!

It's no longer sufficient to just "continue". We need enhancement not maintenance. Rise up!

Always talk as if all is good and dandy. Living cost is shooting faster than salaries are. Wth.. idk how long more the middle to low income can take this before we fall into the chasm.

And also the pap party had forgotten that singaporeans whole life forever can only afford to take bus and mrt but not buy car, its all the pap party fault.

Is this the joker who raised the GST by 1% in times of high inflation !

This is a labour day speech and not an election day to desperately propagating politic. Voting only happens during election.

Singapore requires more good scientists to compete with the global world for the best achievement in science and technology. This can improve country reputation and attract the attention of foreign investments.

Don't forget the pap party holding all the money but only gave a little bit money to singaporeans they call helping the people....

Down with PAP

👎👎👎👎👎

If the economic is gloomy,please walk the talk,reduce your team 84 to 42,and we will vote in wp 22 in and psp 20 in...,your white cost is too high😂😂😂😂wp n psp hv a lot of wise and intelligent man with at least 15 to 20%lower,what do u think???Not forgetting your 5 mayors 660,000 each is overpaid,shall we let the public decide who should do the work with a more moderate salary in the coming ge25???😂😂😂😂

BTO KEEP GOING UP AND SAY AFFORDABLE NEXT ELECTION THE MINISTER WILL LOSE JUST LIKE MAH BOW TAN

I work at the front line of technology and see the agony of working class. Now the working class becomes business class

Ntuc belongs to the pap right? If you are ntuc member means you support the pap. The pap has entrenched themselves in many gahmen organisations...how is that good for Singaporeans?

McDonald’s $2k/mth. Well done union got make noise? No.

Ownself promote ownself?

All the old folks can now be upgraded to work at MacDonalds !

Of course you are very happy, Service and Conservancy charges are increasing soon!

not enough land? reduce carbon copy citizen, build higher HDB flats..50, 100 storeys. PAP build hawker centres rent out..food prices sure cheap lah..simple economics..street wise idea..no need big big paper qualifications. only text book smart ..

If you can't get rich by working smart then work hard. God bless.

Singaporeans Don't forget the pap party will soon run out of land to build hdb flats and others,..

👍👍。。。。。Good lah ! Hao lah ! Ho lah !

Aiya bro everything go up.. toto 4D still same never go up

There are lots of people throwing bricks on LW’s speech. He had highlighted the reality of current global economy & political stability. Instead of throwing bricks, if u are any caring Singaporean, perhaps u could do Sg good by proposing good constructive solution to solve Sg domestic problems and bring Sg forward.

No one must be left behind

Until you visit other country you will not be able to appreciate the paradise Singapore government team have worked for. Well spoken LW 👍👍👍

Great speech LW👏👏👏

does future PM has to consult PAPA to coin policies,?? hahahaha.

Singapore needs change from pap they have enough power in parliament you need more opposition MPs to keep them honest

Have our back. Up the GST. Ready for 9% in a few months time.

Why is paying your HDB using CPF a good way???

Does the income calculation include the foreign population or just the true blue voters? Was there any GST, and high cost of living in the 80%? Was there any COE that jacked up the cost of businesses? This list goes on and on. Strange way to do an honest comparison, isn't it? Or is this meant to be a joke by him?

Whats up with the "brother" chee meng this, "brother" chee meng that. Sounding like som christian cult. And the use of comrade. ??? A small step towards socialism

Every time he pauses n looks at audience, there is applause

With the incomes that we are receiving now days, we still cant afford HDB/BTO. Why so ex? And back in the days, mostly 1 income was used to buy the house. Now, everyone in the house need to work to buy it. #WP

Save yrself, yr family and Singapore, Vote PAP out !!!

Note to self: PAP says flats will remain affordable. What they didn't say is that you better don't think about upgrading it.

Betraying Singapore day by day by giving it away.

Any budget left for skillfuture? My skillfuture funds are used up

Like PM, DPM keep us on toes always by warning of fearful, gloomy days ahead.. There are better ways to bring us forward..how about recognising Sporeans n others heres with appreciation and words of encouragement etc?

Great speech! Honest, genuine and inspiring!

Raise the GST by 1% because they cannot raise GST in 2025 and hopefully the peasants have a memory like the gold fish and forget ! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha !

You support this speech, your future damn bleak.

Why is he starting to talk like LHL?

Getting back all my cpf at age 55, is more important than listening to your speech

Well dont u think its your duty to work hard. So why are u saying you are proud . Mayday is for one and all singaporeans who have worked for their life plese say something good n nice. We want to be respected for now n forever. Dont forget the vote are by us.

He looks happy & has apparently put on weight.

I'm at corporate tax part, not fully agree, as personal income tax plays a part too. For business location is much important.

Bro Chee Meng…. You got to win back Sengkang GRC first 😂😂😂😂

LW is once again talking nonsense in his May Day Rally speech. In his speech, he claimed current public housing remains affordable as compared to the 80's. Despite acknowledging improvement in technology and production, he thinks Singaporeans today deserve the same standard of housing as those back in the 80's. It is as if Singaporeans are stuck in the past despite modernization. Technology makes home better and cheaper. A good government would be able to achieve that for citizens without having them to fork out more of their income. In a ideal world, Singaporeans would have better hosing and still be able to keep more of their higher income. PAP is an obsolete party. They are not innovative and use old solutions to meet future challenges. LW as PM would produce similar results as LHL, higher taxes and limited growth. Singaporeans must not gamble with their future and naively think that PAP alone is gong to make the country better. Do not trust the PAP. Do not vote the PAP. Vote opposition. Like this comment to commit your vote to the opposition in the upcoming GE.

😱 My boy asked AI, if compare Income and cost of living 10 years (example) ago with today, if today's income is 10 times more than 10 years ago, and today's cost is also 10 times more than 10 years ago, is the savings also 10 times more than 10 years ago? AI replied : No, its Not Necessarily true. Its the same as 10 years ago. 😱‼️ Shocking!! I was so Angry with my boy, i smashed his laptop and told him to go to his room and not allowed to surf the web and use AI for 1 month. I do not believe the AI . Do you????😢😢😢 i believe todays savings is 10 times last time

The pap party ntuc supermarket always gave discount for those cheap brands that singaporeans do not want to buy, only the foreign workers working here will buy, so it only benefits the foreign workers.

We Chong Infront, Government will always have our back.

It's magic, just magic. After the speech, all workers gets automated upgraded. Just say a few magic words, abracadraba, workers get upskilled, upgraded. ❤😂🎉 We don't need those high tech tools being developed in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Guangdong, Germany, Japan, Korea and of course our very own Malaya & Singapore that makes working easier, more efficiently to conduct. The pandemic developed many new trending technologies. We will survive with Teamwork, and cheerfully. We will let our workers learn and grow into the best that we can be. Happy worker's day, young fellas. 🤣👮‍♂️

Where the siao siao one that praise him 1st world one ?

Nice hairs cut by wife

His speech is so contradicting. The person who composed the speech for him also bo chap and anyhow write. Ha ha ha!

1.) Failed as task force lead in managing Covid 19 for more than 2 years. 2.) Introduced GST 9% hike, ramping up cost of living, creating hardships for common Singaporeans. Pricing Singapore out of regional competition. YET He got promoted to DPM !!! Does anybody knows how he got promoted after screwing up Singapore?

May day - Very hard to tahan PAP lavish increase spending forever, from GST, Carbon Tax, HDB, COE, ERP, ARF, PARF, Compulsory MediShield [while Malaysia 0% GST and major surgery at $Zero Dollar] Time for Change.

Love from india

There is one thing you still haven't do yet by this stage. Taking your rally talk into the real streets for everyone from all walks of life in Singapore to ascertain and hold you to your promise. For a very long time already live rallies are always done in a closed enclosure with audience made up of staunch party followers and servants well paid by your party. What the rest get is just a televised broadcast afterward which lack the impact that is needed to show your sincerity to the people of Singapore. Lee kuan yew once walk everywhere all over Singapore trying to made people to know him and believe in him before he slack off after his hold on power become secured. You need to walk the streets too instead of saying all these in the comfort of a air con auditorium surrounded only by your party strongest supporters. In short. Walk your talk.

who is clapping???

Simply the best ❤👍

You must send your daughters to be fashion designer & merchandisers. Some smart alec, caused assembly industry to relocate to Indochina. Now we have VF hq here. Must learn Graphic design, textile designing, materials science, learn a MRP system, learn to fly to Indochina, become street smart, avoid food poisoning and get those jobs. I am having a lot of fun doing comments. 🤣

PAP ❤️ 👍 .

got cashback or not 😂

I think we have to tell the PAP resoundingly loud in 2025 that the Public Housing is Hardly Affordable otherwise they can't hear us

PAP to Singaporeans: Do not worry about the high property prices. There will be high-paying jobs for you to afford your property. PAP to Singaporeans: It won't be able to bring in MNCs to provide high-paying jobs. Because Singapore won't be able to compete with big boys such as Germany, China and etc. He is still too young, his speech is so contradicting. Did he realise it? Ha ha ha!

这

To be in his position u need to pretend everything is good, be shameless n ignore criticism .

The next you know is GST Hike in 2024. I think happy and proud for the PAP.

Next p m ?? How many have confidence in his leadership??

❤Actually, sg has a bright future despite the Geopolitics. All we need to do is welcome every billionaire trying park their money outside their china, taiwan or switzerland or russia. 1 billionaire alone can raise our per capita income. I think this is the right strategy going forward. I wont be surprised if LKY stand up and applaud this idea too. Majulah in the Singapura!🎉

Support PAP. Support Lawrence Wong 🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬

HDB/BTO priced more expensive than Private Free Hold Landed Properties prorated to 99 years and BTW, HDB Revert to Zero Value at the end of the 99 years lease -> $0.00. Mathematically speaking, buying the land at say 50 cents psf and Selling it at $500 psf to build HDBs for a transitional 99 years leash is multi-folds of financial gains since they can build multiples of 99 years, multi floors and multi units.

We need to have brutal absolute equality, no matter what each of you desire, like having free choice. You will have a Book of rules, that you can refer to on anything you seek. If you can't find it, brothers, you just got to look harder. We will increase cost by subsidising everything, just like in those EU, USA now providing subsidies financed by magic. No new taxes. Again. Happy worker's day. 🤣

Yes its true big companies are asking what Singapore can offer to motivate them to invest in Singapore. But i would like our beloved PAP Government to know, as voter we will like to know what PAP can offer us ? Without us the voters PAP government game over. Look at Japan, Taiwan and even Msia long standing party govt. We been keeping you going since 2011. Singapore no longer everything #1. The best thing PAP did is to helping the lower income. Feeling for the ground so as to speak. The PAP is no longer the one that our Founding Father built in the 1950s when they fight for a Singapore for all Singaporeans. Cos they were in the same dire boat. Look at the 2 Chief Ministers. Luckily the 3rd is brilliant and truly care for the ppl. If PAP lost. All is lost. Ppl often said the gap between the rich and poor are widening. But how about the govt ministers and the poor ? Isnt that prominent ? Are you serving your country or are you making a career? You give the poor the $. But the same time you tax them with property tax, going to increase town council fees. I thought there will be freezing of govt fees in 2023? Why dont you reduce the head counts of town council. I see the photos of amk town council. I wonder do you really need so many management staffs ? And your MP getting big allowance when some not even working full time. I wonder if there will be tv license fee as well in the pipeline. Your Health Promotion Board is trimming the health 365 rewards from 50 cent to 20 cent a day. They certainly know how to help the govt to cut cost on the expense of the people. So brilliant. Hope PAP remember the voters. Your MP need to do door to door visit and walk the miles. No wonder Worker Party are winning the hearts of the people. PSP need to learn from WP the old school way. PSP candidate at my YCK SMC in 2020 GE, no door to door visit, no flier, how to.vote for you when you dont have sincerity. When you wish to marry someone daughter you need to go to visit the daughter's parents right. I didnt vote for opposition cos Reform Party been contesting AMK several years. If WP come, very likely to vote for you. Been voting PAP past 5 GE cos no worthy opposition here. I not interested in sending opposition to the parliaments. I only interested in expressing frustration through my vote. End of the day its all about how the policies impact my life. Does it really inpact me if Singapore win 10 Olympic gold ? I only care about the bills i have to pay. Can dont increase town council fees till inflation come down? GE 2015 coming soon incase ppl forget. You want to tax GST i am cool. I have option to cut down my purchase or buy lower price brands. But your town council fees i no way to avoid. Nursing homes are getting very expensive. At least $3000. Might as well employ maid to care for the elderly. For the wealthy, can employ 2 to rotate. Can try to employ robots? Cheaper. Robot security for a start ? Take care of our daily livelihood, we will take care of your votes. Triple wins for the govt, the ppl, the MNC. Oh yes the MNC, one thing Singapore can offer you is the rule and stability of laws and security of your investment. You wont want to invest in a place whereby you have to worry about changing of govt or impending wars. Hope the govt be mindful there are citizens who need rental income to sustain living. The opening of JB SG MRT might lead Msians and even foreign employees rent in JB but work in SG. Hope govt can tighten the floodgate.

Hey NTUC/PAP, why hair cutting has become low-income job for foreigners such has Malaysians? Why a barber is a low-income earner? That scholar who might be able to answer the questions is still studying in the university? Ha ha ha!

This kind of highfalutin speech reminds you of a typical speech by a gun lover during the NRA foundation conference, or a typical speech of American politicians after a mass shooting incident? If you have kids studying in the universities now, then you might want to share with them this message from the Great Asia. It will haunt them for many, many years to come. Divide the population of the country into two halves, let's call the first half the "Landlord", and the next half the "Peasant". The Peasant works for the Landlord and makes them richer. The landlord then uses the new wealth to acquire more lands. What do you think would happen to the children and grandchildren of the Peasant? So, you can imagine more than 50% of future generations will be born in HDB-4rm flats and trapped in HDB 4-rm flats for life? Their little fully furnished HDB flats will not have space for toddler to crawl. Imagine a family of four wants to buy ONE expensive bicycle (above S$1000), where to park it? In the past decades, PAP has built so many little HDB flats and condos. There will be a huge angst from Singaporeans who are not able to upgrade to a bigger living space. Also, there are many HDB flats going to be over 40 years soon. Can you see the new big problem? Imagine a population density of more than 10,000 per sqkm and people living in compact spaces in perpetual. There will be huge, huge social and political problems. But the ruling elites are still trying to manipulate the people like sheep. The younger generations have bee robbed. You're naive if you think the 4G PAP can survive the wrath of Singaporeans, especially from the younger deprived generations. Last, did you realise that even hair cutting has become low-income jobs for foreigners such as Malaysians? Ha ha ha!

Lots of ghost commenters activated to give FAKE supports. Thats disgusting, desperate and pathetic !!!

Can't use 20th-century's solutions on 21st-century's problems lah! Can understand bo, PAP? Ha ha ha!

Young couples cannot afford living in Singapore. Better to immigrate to other countries where one can afford big car and house. Furthermore, the house and land is yours and no such thing as leasehold which is ridiculous.

Dont Trust Him !!!

Salaries not really rises in tandem…. What he say are family with both parent top U grads…. What about our other 80% who are not top U grads😢😢😢 Truly pay and pay till you nearly die 😂😂😂😂😂

I seriously hope the pap and lhl lose more and more seats, i mean what has the pap contributed or done for poor and middle income singaporeans? NOTHING if not NOtHING much even at all.

The WORST and most bad are the pap, lhl and lw.

With 9-10% gst, extreme high cost of living and a TON of foreigners, what has the pap done to better singaporeans lives? NOTHING really. What is next? 12% gst tax hikes?

It has already been ages, it has already been 10 or 20 years, and yet the pap still does NOTHING for singaporeans. After some years later, are you telling people NOTHING and pipsquek money still?

With 9-10% gst and the EXTREME high cost of living, I hope the pap loses seats in hougang, aljunied, seng kang, punggol, west coast, the east coast and in marine parade for the next election.

Im yoona, tiffany young, the pap, lhl and lw are the baddest, lousiest and slowest peoples living in singapore.
