That time he was planted there to be CEO by PAP of course still pro-PAP so cannot voice out.

But after Ah Kong passed away and the Lee siblings quarrel, he fall out with LHL. LHL then uses the PAP-Gov machinery to fix him,
then he finally has a taste of what tio fixed by PAP means then of course become dulan and Anti-PAP liao, LOL.

Gerrymandering prevents the achievement of proportional and illustrative representation since the winner is determined by the incumbent party which draws the electoral boundaries, rather than the preferences of the constituents.

(Bloomberg) — Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong pledged to “redouble efforts” to combat high living costs, including by strengthening social safety nets for the most vulnerable citizens.

“We recognise how rising prices are impacting Singaporeans,” he said on Thursday in his first National Day message since taking over from Lee Hsien Loong

in May. While the city-state cannot control global prices, “we can and we have shielded Singaporeans from the worst effects of global inflation by keeping the Singapore dollar strong.”

A discussion thread on Singapore’s fuckwarezone Forum was recently closed to new comments after users identified and criticized what they believed to be the presence of "Internet Brigades (IB)"—alleged pro-ruling party activists—attacking Lee Hsien Yang (LHY).

LHY, the brother of Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong, had criticized the Singapore Electoral Boundaries Review Committee (EBRC) in a Facebook post, accusing it of being increasingly partisan and unfair.

The forum thread, which initially featured LHY’s comments, quickly became a battleground, with some users echoing his concerns about electoral fairness, while others criticized him, prompting accusations that pro-government internet brigades were attempting to undermine his credibility.

These tensions reflect ongoing debates over the fairness of Singapore’s electoral system and the role of organized online efforts in shaping public opinion.

DBS Group Holdings Ltd.’s better-than-expected profit is a snapshot of the global interest-rate rollercoaster at its highest point. Investors should savor the sight from the peak. It won’t last.

The net interest income on commercial lending rose to almost as high as S$3.8 billion ($2.8 billion) in the June quarter. That’s 88% more than what the Singapore-based lender was making on advances before the US Federal Reserve began increasing interest rates in March 2022 from nearly zero. The target fed funds rate is currently 5.25% to 5.5%.
