Base on the speech given by PM Lee at the Kent Ridge Ministerial Forum entitled "Leadership Renewal: The 4th Generation and Beyond" at the University Cultural Centre on 5th April 2011
Mr Lee said that assembling an outstanding team is not an easy task because in every election, his ruling People's Action Party (PAP) finds only three new MPs, on average, who can become Ministers.
He is confident he has put together an "A team", but he said he cannot assemble a second team and questioned how the opposition can find it easier to do so.
(What's the point of having two A teams from the Same Party????)
Mr Lee said a two-party system is not workable in Singapore because there is simply not enough talent to form two "A teams".
(Is getting Ms TPL into the cabinet an example?)
He emphasised that Singapore, more than any other country, needs capable leadership to tackle difficult challenges and maximise opportunities for the nation.
(Yes, Singapore DO NEEd a capable leadership...BUT a leader that can understand hw ur people are suffering from high living cost, high education (not as low as Ms TPL think)
With a mediocre government, Singapore will fail, warned Mr Lee.
He said a two-party system will also throw up other problems, such as a division in society based on class or racial lines and groups pushing different policies.
(One party system? Yes man System?)
And because there is a lack of talent, Mr Lee said he also disagrees with Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong's recent opinion that future ministers may end up serving only two terms.
(We are not lack of talents in Singapore.... BCOS MORE and MORE local talents CHOSE to migrate to oversea as they see no future in their so-called homeland)
Mr Lee said that is not possible because of the lack of numbers.
Mr Lee said Singapore has achieved this much today because of the various policies and systems the PAP government has put in place.
(Good policies like 3%GST to 7%GST, More ERP, high pay for cabinet Ministers, etc)
These include introducing policies to give all citizens a stake in the country's success and adapting a political system that will not be divisive for Singapore, such as creating the elected Presidency.
Today, Mr Lee said, Singapore's success is widely recognized.
( I personnally think is self-recognised by PAP)
Today, Mr Lee said, Singapore's success is widely recognized.
He said the PAP accepts that some people will want to join the opposition and propound alternative policies.
But he added that as long as the government is competent and doing a good job for Singaporeans, Mr Lee hopes that the citizens will share the same cause with the PAP team to ensure that things remain on the right path.
