Mr Low suddenly wakes up woh!!!

[theblackhole]

OPPOSITION MP Low Thia Kiang wants the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to be more 'proactive' in dealing with investors who may have been mis-sold structured products.

The call by the Hougang MP came after a detailed overview by Trade and Industry Minister Lim Hng Kiang about the MAS stance on the sale of the products that have caused so much anxiety and anger in the community.

'The Minister's answers sound like the MAS shouting across the river, while watching a fire burning,' said Mr Low, who suggested the Government could form a committee 'to deal with the matter directly'.

Mr Low also asked if the investors' plight was the result of a 'less prudent regulation by the MAS' and 'the Government's decision to liberalise the financial market'.

He then asked the Minister, who is also MAS deputy chairman, whether the 'MAS agrees that the products sold by the financial institutions were low risk and safe'. ......

[Naruto777]

Aiya, he woke up becoz his hands also kenna burn mah. Think he also kenna conned by the "Fun" Manageress.:p

Mr. Low must be commended for finally raising the issue. Its better late than never. But I sincerely hope he would ring alarms even before it starts being obvious.

A great leader is one who can see through corners, see the big picture and know the dangers and risks ahead. If one shouts fire after the fire has spread, when he has already seen the fire being created, then its a bit too late.

Still, as the old cliche goes: better late than never.

suddenly everybody is awake...some kena burnt...some kena scalded...some kena real bad...some don't know what is going on...some simply blur like sotong...some just can't be bothered and continue to sleep while rome burns to the ground....some just sit and stare...some just doze off.....some stare with big eyes at the massive loss and the massive destruction ...they've been sleeping all the while ...and the FUND and Wealth managers take their cash away...together with the vulnerables in the society and together with the educated and the not so educated...in one swoop, they came in the silence of the night, while all these people were sleeping soundly with sweet dreams...and the cart everything away...all the hard savings and all the life savings...all gone...gone...gone...and now they suddenly awake and talk glibly about the nightmare they had...in fact it's no longer a nightmare...it's end time!!!

Thought Low scared of verbal challenge because dare not react means point settled. Anyway 1000 people already raised issue in case he was really asleep past 2 weeks.

LTK needs to be more proactive and constructive in voicing the needs of Singaporeans in Parliament. He is the opposition after all. If he cannot do a better job, he should step down or join the PAP.

If he is the one who gathered all the victims at speakers' corner, then he deserve the fullest respect.

If he is unaware that he can actually help victims this way, nevermind. At least when TKL is organising the protest, he should be there to show his support and whatever help that he can give.

quite disappointed that until now then he raise the topic. Maybe he is not a financial man, but when things like these happen, he should ask around expert to see what can be done. No one knows everything, it is the effort you put in that makes people trust you.

How do you camouflage a conspiracy against the citizenry. In the Singapore context, it's called 'Wayang'.

 

[madmansg]

LTK weeping as his MP salary from all the past years are invested in stocks which drop 50 percent this year.

 

[bebo]

That's because Mr Low realize his job is on the line if he keeps quiet all the time and he lose his generous and outrageous MP salary

That's why I say that, if there's ever an AP leader who has the potential to be PM in an election, the guy has to have a deep understanding of economics, business and finance- and obviously law. Even an opposition leader of a main party can still pass a law in other countries for example. And as such a PM is not a OJT type of job; it calls for wisdom, experience and judgment.

Mr. Low, as much as he has been a superb WP leader as far, I think has to realise that there's always gonna be a new generation of leaders who are coming up. It'd be wise not to dismiss them just because some of these ideas from these guys veer away from his orthodox, cautious views.

There's always a way to sort this out, in my opinion.

Suddenly wake up? Still not good enough! Can Mr Low get the government to act? I don't think so. Mr Lee see him as talk cock sing song. At the end of the day, whether Mr Low open his mouth or not, there is nothing done.

It will be a difference if Mr Low can get things running. But Mr Low could not get things done after all these years. It looks like he is going to end up like Mr Chiam.

just wondering how many of us recall the scandal not too long ago. town council also use conservancy funds for small time investments. i'm wondering who's auditing the town councils for their fund appropriation.

I have said this before and I'll say it again:

After the mega ministerial pay increment, all politicians cannot be relied on to serve the people. Instead of the traditional divide between PAP and oppositions, PAP has widened the gulf between people and politicians.

Sinkaporeans themselves will have to participate actively in the questioning process like Tan Ah Lian. Kudos to Grandmaster Goh Meng Seng too for rallying at Hong Lim.

Hope to see an amiable solution for all in this financial scandal.

 

[theblackhole]

this time round with so much massive and catastrophic losses, real leadership has to emerge...to salvage whatever is left and to rebuild once more...any leader out there? please don't take the easy way out okay...raise the taxes, raise the fees,raise the erps,raise the utilities..might as well raise the red lantern lah!!!

 

[madmansg]

Mr Loh will wake up when NS is finally abolish. He is the most fucked up MP I know. EVEN worst than any PAP MP.
