Chitchat Lawrence Wong playing fear again

[cow138]

Singapore should start to look for other markets. Move away from the USA. They are withdrawing from the world stage. We shouldn't still cling on to them.

Knn, Lawrence wong talking cock again ! ...
He didn't say anything on the actual impact on Singapore, what are the consequences !
If US levy Tarriff, that their issue. We have free trade all over the world with other nation.

Correct, can see his whole ranjiao talk is all about fear-mongering of the tariff war to garner votes for PAP with ZERO concrete plan nor solutions to help local businesses nor consumers. The best they can do is to form a ranjiao Task Force, lead by GKY to focus on 'communication and information gathering', LMAO.
In other words, PAP is totally clueless about what the fark is happening on the ground. This farker is completely a useless PM and should be charged for treason and jailed with all salaries clawed back and made a bankrupt NBCB.

S'pore will form taskforce to help businesses and workers cope with new economic environment​

The taskforce will help businesses and workers better adapt to the new economic environment.

This was announced by Prime Minister Lawrence Wong on Apr. 8 in Parliament.

The taskforce, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong, who is also Minister for Trade and Industry, will help businesses and workers address the immediate uncertainties, strengthen their resilience, and better adapt to the new economic environment.

Gan said that one key focus of the taskforce is going to be in terms of communication and information sharing.

The taskforce will gather information from the ground, understand the challenges faced by the enterprises on the ground, and discuss how the government can support them through these uncharted waters.

TCB already told him to stop his nonsense.

cheebai will not STFU cos he has no other script. This is klaus schwab's retirement mission for him -- tell trump to fuck off. call him a bad friend or you be the bad dog.

No use. Budget given did not create great impact to help struggling citizens. Whether he is making empty talks can be judged by weather the ministerial salary will be reduced due to tariffs on Singapore economy.

Salary will be freezed or reduced for the employees but ministers are exempted.555

The answer is obvious.
LW has no solution to it, therefore he cannot say it out even he wanted to please sinkies.
He can only hint to sinkies be prepared to jiak sai, and that you can eat less sai and some real food when you put pap (with leecord) in charge.
And that you will jiak sai everyday if you vote for oppies.

So now sinkies need to ask themselves this simple question.
Do I want to jiak sai everyday or jiak sai at times and jiak food at times.

Actually I am not even sure SG has economists or not.
What I know we have only so called Budget Team aka Ministry of Finance which kept on having increased in budget.
MAS a regulator for Banks & GIC investment arm plus GLC temasek.
USA has a team called Treasury & Federal reserves and all the private investment companies. All sorts of economists/analyst from bank.
Have we had a hearing from MAS like USA Federal Reserves? Not in my life time yet.

Economic growth at ALL costs - including sacrificing the livelihood of true blue S'poreans.

If no GDP growth , then no salary increase for ministers.

Regrettably, the political landscape has been characterised by the single-party dominance of the PAP since S'pore's independence. Paradoxically, this enduring dominance appears to stem from voters who, despite frequently criticising the govt in their daily lives, continue to support the ruling party at the polls because they opt for the devil they know. The rationale offered for increasing ministerial salaries – attracting private sector talent and reducing corruption – is met with skepticism by most of us. The prevailing sentiment on the ground suggests that those inclined towards corruption are unlikely to be deterred by higher pay. Look no further than Iswaran, and others yet to be exposed.

I have no idea too.
But gic ma's and temasek has so many investments analyst.
As economist and investment analyst has overlapping knowledge areas, they should be able to take up crossover role bah.

Economist & Finance may have some overlapping knowledge. However, roles are different. Economists look after the health of the economy while Finance (budget, taxes) focus on wealth management, hedging once they got money. Risk taking in any line & if handling taxpayers money, usually we used it to run the country aka know as Public Financing. Not like a tamasek can go take risk. But I do know our economy is not a free market but heavy government intervention. Hence the demand or supply (look at coe market, look at labour market) is engineered unlike USA on the other extreme end Laisse faire.

Abolish the CECA agreement could help to dampen the tariff impact
