A FAIR ASSESSMENT of LHL N.Day Speech.

[Nice-Gook]

To be fair I only partially watched so I stand to be corrected.

As an orator--Did much better this year.Appeared uneasy initially.But gained momentum .Good delivery.No stupid remarks this year.No gaffing.

For contents-Painted a very rosy picture.Obviously this speech is aimed at New Citizens,Foreigners and Foreign medias.Hints that locals are not up to mark as opportunities are aplenty.Obviously locals know better.Completely avoided all touchy issues such as Temasek & FT.---Simply a political speech as in a political rally..As if gunning for votes in a GE.

Your views please.

Agreed.Old wine in a new bottle....But this speech is very carefully crafted.It did not address our pressing problems.Neither did it 'scold' locals for this and that like all the previous speeches..

It is a vote gathering speech.Playing to foreigners gallery....Particularly about how life was in the 50s & 60s.It is a message for the New Citizens,PR and FT...They have no idea or clue about SG past or present..LHL tells these clueless how good PAP was in uplifting SG from nowhere to now in photos; selectively that is.....Whereas many locals has fond memories of their past....Many Ah Pehs would not want to exchange the past for present.

Instead lots of hints here and there.Particularly about Rolls Royce forecasting PAP gov to stay beyond 20 years....If Rolls Royce were PAP--it would have sued...It's like saying Temasek invest in US now because it wants Obama or Democrats in power for the next 20 years.

The speech also targeted Ah Nehs from N.India to come and stay in SG---Suspect to replace local S.Indians .Obviously Leegime is very unhappy with this lot in the opposition camps.

That would be the talk of the town if he did...Sort of out of sight out of mind.

Ever notice ST & MM--had been raising these subjects well before his speech?--it's a coordinated move of course.

 

[Ramseth]

Issues completely avoided:

- GIC/Temasek losses effect on national reserves
- MAS handling of structured products crisis
- Role, position and relation of foreigners among locals

Everyone knows that Southern Indians are of inferior stock, as are the Southern Chinese who provided the initial gene pool of the sinkie ethnic Chinese population. Both are of peasant stock. Both arrived in Singapore to perform menial work.. carry shit.. tap rubber trees etc.

The time has come when the Singapore govt simply has to bite the bullet and state openly that it is bringing in new and superior bloodlines to replace the old and inferior has beens. Stud farms do it all the time.

<style></style>I am appalled at your ignorance Sam...Who do you think built the brave new worlds such as USA,Australia and SG & etc.?

Convicts,unwanted,marginalized and etc. of course....The Mandarins of course would not want to leave the comfort of their corrupted homes for complacency....Now did someone said ,''Talent = 10% Inspiration and 90% Perspiration"--that says it all about our forefathers.

Once 'these scums of earth' built their nations they hired the sons and daughters of the Mandarins ,who chose to stay behind , from their motherlands- to work for their money.As is in USA,Canada,Australia and etc...How ironic?

That is the godamn truth Sam!


Ah, about your stud breeding theory.The nature vs. nurture theory ha?....Here is a story,once a very beautiful lady asked the very controversial philosopher Bertrand Russell to marry her.Because she wanted her children to have his brains and her beauty.Bertrand Russell so asked',what if they had your brain and my look?'

Your call Sam.

I was expecting a lecture on how we should embrace our FT
interesting that he left out any explicit reference
The FT vs Locals fault line is ready to explode

Nice visuals, but ...

I'm 21 and, frankly, it felt like a social studies lesson
by Hon Jing Yi

DID you like this year's Rally? I didn't, really.

There weren't many new issues addressed, other than the bit about hospitals, which is non-controversial good news in general. The segments about race and religion and Singapore's past and present resembled very long social studies lessons with interactive media.

Of course we are grateful for what has been done for us, but haven't we been reminded enough times that Singapore, once dirty and smelly, is now clean and beautiful? Don't we already know, at least theoretically, that we should be understanding and tolerant of other races/religions?

On race and religion: What provoked this 30-minute-long lecture? Has something happened, other than the Aware saga? Is there something we should know?

I thought the fact that the PM spent so much time on photos showing us how far we have progressed is rather telling of how poorly we are doing. While very interesting, especially for us younger ones who've never experienced floods or seen a non-ceramic toilet, I can't help but wonder why he spent so much time on this topic.

Don't get me wrong. I'm very grateful to our forefathers, who have done so much to give us the great life we enjoy today. But why choose to talk about this at the Rally, instead of our policies about foreign talent or birthrates?

Must we keep looking back to admire how far we have come in 50 years, so that we can reassure ourselves that we'll be able to overcome what we're facing this year?

I guess if the Rally was meant to motivate and inspire - to "rally" people into believing that there is a bright and better future ahead of us - those highly nostalgic pictures would certainly have served their purpose ...

The Jews in the USA are extremely successful and very intelligent. The blacks are at the other end of the spectrum.

Both are of migrant stock but they arrived in the US under very different circumstances.

The Jews that ended up in the US are the ones that escaped persecution. The blacks come from the gene pool of those who were caught by the slave traders.

Now you know why gene pools are so important.

The majority of ethnic Chinese Singaporeans are descendants of simpletons who were recruited to work in sugar and pepper plantations. The evidence of poor pedigree is obvious in todays ethnic Chinese population. Most lack intelligence, drive, initiative, resourcefulness and cunning. That's why the PAP has been able to hold on to power for so long.

You forgot, the majority of US Chinese are also of southern Chinese descent from Canton. They arrived in the US as bonded laborers for railroad works. They're very successful in the US today.
