SINGAPORE: Grassroots leaders who have been engaging some 20,000 residents across the island in a series of Our Singapore Conversation sessions have come up with proposals to rekindle the kampung spirit and to help Singaporeans age with dignity.

Sharing the ideas at the closing session of the second phase of the People's Association's sessions on Tuesday, grassroots leaders said there is a need to know residents better and build personal friendships with them.

They said the key to achieving this is to conduct community programmes with purpose.

There were also ideas to have projects which are led by residents themselves so as to build greater affinity within the community.

Lim Swee Say, minister in prime minister’s office and deputy chairman of the People’s Association, said: "I really welcome your comments that you don't want to be just explaining and convincing. You want to play the role of a co-creator with the government in terms of policy formulation. And I can assure you that I will sit down and have a good chit chat with (Chairman of Our Singapore Conversation Heng Swee Keat) and to convince him to put this down very strongly as an outcome of the OSC."

Mr Heng, who is also the education minister, said: "When we started this, a lot of people said is it just a NATO exercise, ‘No Action, Talk Only’. I am glad to say no (to that).

“This year's budget, in DPM Tharman's speech, it's the first time ever in any budget speech, the finance minister spoke about what he gathered about the Singapore conversation and how the inputs came in from different ministries and if you look at some of the things DPM announced in the Budget, it is quite clear that even in phase one of the Singapore conversation, many of the ideas have gone into the preparation of the Budget. I want to assure you that all your feedback has been taken into account, of course not every idea can be acted upon immediately, but the overall drift of it is quite clear."

must be qingong expert............btw, Wei Yixiao (the green winged bat king) of the Ming Sect in Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre was also a qingong expert, he used to capture young women and suck their blood before reforming after Zhang Wuji became Ming Sect leader.

now it makes sense. "green" is the giveaway. a color code of discipleship. hers is more like teal, a more bluish shade of green. her yellowness is fading away. she has reached grand master status.

Tear down the 40-storey HDB flats and build a kampung on their location.

The kampung spirit will definitely come back.

[CaoPi]

How come your points never decrease for farking the PAP?

 

[Kohliantye]

Agreed.

"Pull down all the flats and re-introduce farming and animal husbandry.

Grassroots leaders can catch bumble bees, grass-hoppers and spiders and re-introduce such species back to the farms.

Re-introduce the old buses back.

Allow hawkers to sell their wares along the streets".

This is madness. The Minister who spoke of these ought to have his head checked by a panel of psychiatrists.

Cast out the word "Kampung Spirit". Call it COMMUNITY SPIRIT instead. I am sure Minister Heng can vouch for me over the correctness of the word instead of always harping on "kampung spirit".

It is a shame.

 

[AntiPAPunk]

Fuck PAP ! :oIo:

Your points increase instead of decrease for farking the PAP which is unusual in this forum.
