It's clear that LHL is in political desperation when he has to:

1. Exploit the death of LKY to gain sympathy votes at the coming GE
2. Engineer and time the resignation of a honest, diligent LTY to take the sting out of his bad policies

From now till next GE, Singaporeans must be discerning to see through more of such desperate moves. We can perhaps expect some desperate financial "incentives" to be announced at the National Day Rally on 23 Aug to try to win votes.

These are sure signs of a weak PM who cant win through good leadership but instead has to resort to win by sympathy votes.

It's sad to see the once mighty pap having to resort to gutter politics and voter sympathies to try to win against ordinary Singapore candidates like LLL, Daniel Goh, Terence Tan, Chua Ser Lin, Lina Chiam, Ben Pwee, etc.

In the days under LKY, his presence wld be enough to win the contest for the pap. Nowadays, LHL has to resort to dog and pony show and wayangs to win votes. Does LHL know that no amount of show can replace strong and good leadership? Perhaps he should go back to basics and get a lesson from his father.

LKY was an asset to the pap. LHL is a huge liability and so he has so obviously resorted to desperate measures to try to win votes.

Singaporeans are wise and can see through a lousy leader. We vote for the future not on past glories. We vote not just with our hearts. We have a head too.

So LHL shd quit all the wayangs and fight the GE on good leadership and good policies.

These are desperate times for LHL and the PAP. It is inconceivable that the once mighty PAP has fallen to this level within 10 years of LHL's leadership. What LKY built in 40years are destroyed by his "chosen" son in 10years. How ironic!

Same in the biz world. Fathers build up their businesses the hard and often painful way only for their sons to destroy. Same here. History repeats itself.

If he is as great as he espouses, the time has arrived to show us his greatness. Take over the Tpt ministry. Appoint as many 2nd and 3rd ministers in the ministry. Same for MOS or SMOS appointments and that of Perm Secs. Let's see the results.

Exactly. A PM can also hold another Portfolio.

So, to show his leadership, LHL shd be PM cum Minister of Transport.

But truly, the fault lies not with the Minister of Transport nor his staff. I bet LHL will also fail badly if he is Minister of Transport

The problem with our transportation is with basic policies. A national transportation system shd not be privatised and having to pay dividends to its stalkholders. A national transportation system shd be run by the govt on cost recovery basis and not based on private equity.

The problem with the pap is that every area must make money. Transport must make money, Healthcost must make money. That's why we have such high fares and health costs. These costs are passed down to Singaporeans and increase costs of living. These policies are unsustainable.

Until LHL wises up and do the right things, Singapore is in deep trouble with such bad policies

It's right to respect our good leaders. Indeed it is right to honour and respect LKY.

But which other country did like what the pap did in LKY's death? I shudder with shame at the way pap overplays it even at the NDP parade. Not even N Korea nor China did what the pap did.

Time for Singapore to move on without the shadow of LKY. He has done his part. We don't get stuck in a dead man's glory.

Let Singapore find a new bearing and direction forward and move to higher glory without LKY.
 
Brilliant piece
But not entirely true
Brilliant post
But not authentically roast
Brilliant discussion
But too much fabrication
PM Lee will stand the test
His New Team will do their best
LHL will prove the cynics wrong
He will emerge very strong
Majulah PAP Majulah Singapore!!!

What is not true?
 
Who would have thought that things would unravel so soon after the death of his daddy. ;)

That's what you get for being arrogant, amoral and ruining the country.
You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time. :cool:


Desperado...

Will you be surprised if LHL doesn't stand for re-election at the next GE?

Will you be surprised if LHL inducts HC to be a PAP candidate at the next GE?

Well said. I predicted in 2011 that LHL will bring SG down with his leadership skills and style. His arrogance, pride, immaturity, lack of EQ are stumbling blocks

" Quote"...If he is as great as he espouses,

Look at Straits Times putting up the huge numbers of likes for his Facebook...

Don't he looks great with the over 800,000 sham " likes"

He has no balls to allow any independent polls to be conducted on his performances.
He has his controlled press that wants you to read such sterling numbers.

On the Facebook numbers, he takes it that the world is daft to believe this number.
But the world would think otherwise that he is daft to put such numbers up.

Life is always a surprise
You never know when you die
You never know what lies ahead
Sometimes better pretend to be dead
Human mind is one big fickle
You may be right
You can also be wrong
Better to tread carefully
Lest you go fatally wrong

From his feedbacks, LHL believes he is a good leader and PM

Have you heard anything abt LHL's plans?
 
Nationalize transport and provide subsidized fares and healthcare? Cannot lah! With over 3 million foreigners on our shores, we will go broke within one election cycle. You know like a Pandora box? Once the floodgates are open, impossible to reverse. Only solution is to fleece everyone make big bucks and collect big bonuses and salaries.

A great leader never reveal his cards
You do not reveal your plans before a battle
Only YOU yourself know what is in store
Surprise is crucial to win the war
Let the show go on early
Let the public consume the pie
The final battle is in the mind
 
Another version - tribute to the MIW :D

That's what the pap thinks too. But that concept is too simplistic. MOT must put on its thinking cap.

There are many variations of running a national transportation system. It can be done and I am certain that one day it will happen.

The present system is one of the worst that can be conceived. It privatises profits to the shareholders like TH holdings but socialises costs to SG tax payers and commuters.

How can SMRT and SBS takes profits through fares but ask Singaporeans to fund $1.1B of bus purchases? If SMRT and SBS want to run like a public company, then they shd take commercial loans to pay for bus purchases and not ask tax payers to pay for them
