Ass Loon Said, "This is Not Money For Now". Discuss.

[makapaaa]

On one hand, he demanded Sporns to give credit to his daddy and hubby for the purported 18% PA return by Temasick (which actually is a result of fresh funds sucked from CPeeF). On the other hand, when they lost $260B, he could tell u that this is not money. This is the same CB which told us GDP = Profit and hence he and his ministers deserve to be BEST PAID in the world. How long more are Sporns gonna tolerate such INSULT on their intelligence?

SINGAPORE: Ministers and unionists have said fighting the recession is like playing a football match against a stronger team.

Speaking at the Singapore Tripartism Forum on Sunday, they said Singaporeans will have to go on the offensive and play to win.

Labour chief Lim Swee Say said Singapore should aim to be cheaper and better than its competitors with the help of the SPUR programme and other measures from the resilience package.

He also warned against trying to find convenient solutions to the present crisis. "When you try to find the easy way out, try to look for early lights coming, chances are these lights aren't daylight, but the headlights of an oncoming train."

But the situation is not all bleak.

Finance Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam said several medium-sized companies are projecting strong growth in the upcoming months, with others planning more investment for the future.

They may come from different sectors, but on the job-saving initiatives in this year's Budget, most of the unionists and employers at the forum were on the same page.

On investments, Mr Tharman said the average annual returns for Temasek and GIC investments over the 20 years to 31 March 2008 were 19 percent and 7.8 percent respectively, in nominal US dollar terms.

The issue came up during a question from a business leader.

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong called these figures "very respectable numbers."

"Some years it will go down, some years it will go up more. But on average it's not bad. And we have to take a long-term view because this is not money for now, this is money for many years ahead. If you look at a long-term basis, on the overall, on the way the government has managed the money, we haven't done badly," he said.

Some gave positive feedback on the changes made.

"My company ISK has benefited some one million (dollars) from the overall package," said one participant.

Others continued to ask for more help. "What other measures can the government consider to stimulate the economy as well as create more jobs?" asked a participant.

A few even offered suggestions on how to better the system. "We should start thinking of promoting values instead of just results," said a participant.

On the topic of Singapore's General Election which is due by 2012, Prime Minister Lee said: "When it comes, you will know."

But he added that the 2006 elections were called slightly after the tripartite forum was held that year. - CNA/ir/de

CPF is not also money for now ..when you are sick dying or jobless...neber neber for now.No ! nyet ,nay.

At least CPF has time bar,like when you are 85 and dead.

After losing 31 billions, the regime's mouthpiece says all is not bleak?

It is bleak because the baboons burning the cash has no guts to own up YET. Warren Buffet has conceded his mistakes, but not the scholar fat cats and Her Highness, Ho Jinx.

There are certified swines running loose in the Mouthpiece?

If the government expect its people to be cheaper and better than its competitors, they should ensure that its' citizens' cost of living is lower than the competitors as well.

If our economic shrink by 50%, Tharman will says our economic has achieved 8% growth in average since 1819.

Finance Minister, I dont know whether is he talking cock story teller or is he really the one that can solved problems?

So what several medium sized companies r growing, so what???

They can grow till the cows come home, but r they employing people while they are growing???

All these companies r growing, but 99% of them r not employing, they just add on jobs or more work to their present size work force. Last time 1 person doing 2 person job, now is even worse, 1 person doing 3 to 4 persons jobs and somemore with lower pay than before.

No increment, no bonus, no benefit and worse still no 13 month bonus.

Even more worse, they employed foreigners more than the Singaporeans, sometimes I heard these medium size companies employed 80% or more foreign workers than the Singaporeans.

I never believed all those PAPpy ministers crap, they r only good at talking, and that's what LKY loves the most.

Singapore will do well to have ministers and top civil servants become cheaper and better than its competitors. Right now you are obscenely expensive and quality is significantly worse than your competitors.

Labour chief Lim Suay Suay, please recognise the real problem. When the GDP is in positive territory, the PAP claims all the credit and rewards itself more than handsomely while the majority of Singaporeans are suffering.

When the economy has turned sour, the PAP's reasoning is due to uncontrollable outside forces and then now you have the audacity to blame Singaporeans for being too expensive. Anything bad is always due to others and Singaporeans but anything perceived good is attributed to the A-team.

You are just full of nothing but crap. Go look at your cpf statement and tell us how rich you feel, again.

Well PAP ministers would like to say this," This is everybody's fault except me, no matter what fault is it, can be due to the outside forces or the inner forces, everything is in fault, including the ants, the rats, the cockroaches, the cats, the dogs, the rain, the sun, the wind, the dust and etc. Except me, I am not in fault."

This is what they are good at!

Before the financial crise began, the Old Fart and his dogs sucked $750B from Sporns. For a population of 3 million, that's $250k per person or $1M per family of four. Yet 20% of Sporns are living below poverty line and a tiny fraction of them are given token handout of a couple hundred bucks per month. And the Papaya Parleement even has the cheek to debate over months to decide on a $1 increment per day! And when the financial crisis came, the CCB Familee could LOSE $258B in 8 months and still counting "WITH NO REGRET". And now, with what's left of the reserves, the same CB Familee showed the kind of TRAITOR it is by using them to subsidize foreigners' pay while exhorting employers to retrench Sporns first - the people who risk their lives serving NS and ICT and whose next generation will also be making the same sacrifices. This is so that the "grateful" foreigners can hopefully take up that smelly pink IC, vote in the Familee again and perpetuate its power!

How long more are Sporns gonna tolerate such mistreatment by the CCB Familee? They have done so foolishly and meekly for an amazing 40 years over 3 generations. The CCB Familee grows in complacency and ruthlessness with each GE win that Sporns have neither guts to do anything about it. They are even telling Sporns to die in JB if they cannot afford to do so in their homeland!

Sporns, when is enough is enough?​

They have to admit their mistakes AND give back their money.

When you are out of work, sick, dying, and need money, you have money in your central provident fund by the 100 thousands; be thankful that, this is long term usage; that is, you are long gone, your descendants will be well off in the LONG TERM!

Thank them, for the foresight!

They are just dreaming. They have got away with this crap for far too long.

Yet for far too long, Sinkies kept voting stinking PAP in



Sinkies got no balls
You all dare not stand with those that tried to speak for you.
You all dare not give money to them so that they can work for you.
You all dare not support them publicly so that they can speak for you.

You all turn your backs on those that spoke out bravely against LKY
LKY hit out at those who tried to speak for you with his kangaroo courts
You turn your backs and not support them with money and courage.

You let them be beaten and bankrupted because you all have no balls


Why complain now?

Your 400-500++ billions sucked and bled into LKY Temasick and GIC

And even more billions are currently sucked and bled so that LKY can use those money to bastardised and pay his kangaroo courts and running dogs to bleed even more billions from you in future

You got what you all deserved
for your lack of balls


FIND YOUR BALLS TO PUT AN END TO LKY

or open your legs to be further screwed by him

From where?:oIo:

The PAP can import China, India, Philippines, Burma, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Vietnam, and many other third world countries to replace all the work forces in Singapore.

The PAP can let any kind of work forces to be replaced except National Service.

Fuck the PAP big time!!!

In wartime, and if I am holding a weapon and these fucker PAP ministers are around me or near me, I will definitely send them a big kisses on their faces.
