We did not have 20/20 foresight, says PM Lee

[laksaboy]

Take note of the sharp spike from 2005 onwards.

Please read between the lines. The PAP govt still wants a larger population, it only wished it had

In retrospect, more could have been done to get ready for a larger population, and the Government will try to do better going forward and create a greater buffer in its planning

A longer time period to increase the population by the same amount.

Analogy: slow and incremental increase of bus fares, but still an increase nonetheless.

It still desires to squeeze as many economic digits as it possibly can into this small island.

When a person who doesn't even know that "Mee Siam got no hum", how do we expect him to really make an effort to understand what are the sufferings that
local S'poreans are going thru? After all these years, he still continue to act blur and only concern about having deeps pockets for himself and his "comrades" by
coming out with policies that keeps favoring the rich and foreigners.

They have already taken a massive paycut. so we cannot blame them anymore la.

WP MPs so cock up as co driver, they shld really take a paycut.

He said the right mechanisms have to be used and “you want to do it in such a way that people do not feel whenever you have a problem, it’s the Government which has to be blamed”.

Why he didn't asks himself: Wasn't it the government policies, constitutions and inconsideration (taken without giving any prior consultation with its citizens) are the root cause of most of the problems. They would just announce and some of them are even implemented the following day, even faster than you can finish reading this post.

... Isn't he also blindsided that by fessing they lacked 20/20 foresight, they should not then be getting 20/20 top dollars in salary? What an insult! Just say Sorry and let's move on - same pay, same new normal.

... The Jap cabinet led by its PM would come out and give a long low bow in shame to the electorate ...

I am beginning to wonder if these frequent apologising is good for the country, even if he thinks it is good for his Party and save his skin.

Isn't he also blindsided that by fessing they lacked 20/20 foresight, they should not then be getting 20/20 top dollars in salary? What an insult! Just say Sorry and let's move on - same pay, same new normal.

He would have been more convincing if he makes his Cabinet take a hefty pay cut -50% - to cover for all the cockups and missteps instead of saying sorry. The Jap cabinet led by its PM would come out and give a long low bow in shame to the electorate.

So you either do the above or come out like the Old man did - crush all dissenting voices and make a gutsy and robust defence of your actions, thump the lectern, wag his finger, scowl and squint at the camera for effect, sack some Ministers?

Either your english is superior to mine, or i am going blind. What makes u think this was an apology? Did u see the word sorry? "I apologize"? "It was my fault"? Pray, kindly point out where the apology was.

 

[Travellor]

so now that the people are totally against 6.9, wtf are they gonna do about it? guarantee us that their 2020 vision is all steady?


or when they fuck it all up nicely and then come and say sorry AGAIN?

Gay Loong lost me when he had this quote

Fewer foreign workers left for home than expected.

Excuse me, but did not MOM and ICA issue the work permits to these foreign workers? Are they not here by the grace of this govt.? AT anytime, we can revoke any work permit and ask them to go home. If fewer workers left, u fucking make the others leave until your infrastructure can handle the remaining population. what's the problem? This fucker talks like foreign workers own this country, and what to do if they don't want to leave? Unfucking believable. Is he saying their right to stay supecedes the right of Singaporeans to a better quality of life? What a cock sucker.
