SINGAPORE: Singapore’s government will have “less political space to do the right things” if its winning margin at elections gets smaller, Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong said on Tuesday (Sep 17).

“It will become harder to disregard short-term considerations in decision-making. The political dynamics will become very different,” he said.

“Singaporeans must understand the dangers this creates, and so must the public service.”

Mr Lee was speaking at the Annual Public Service Leadership Ceremony held at the Star Theatre at Buona Vista, with members of the public service in attendance.
Also present were Minister-in-charge of the Civil Service Chan Chun Sing and head of Civil Service Leo Yip.

Mr Lee, who was prime minister for 20 years, said that in Singapore's six decades of nationhood, it has been able to "get things right domestically" in order to "stand tall internationally".

"All this has only been possible because Singapore has been well-governed all these years," he added, pointing to three factors - good policies and good politics, a good public service and good political leadership, and the "right relationship between the public service and the political leadership".

Emphasising the importance of ministers and the public service working closely together to deliver results for the country, Mr Lee said each has their respective responsibilities, with the lines properly drawn so the system functions properly.

“This is how we have been able to maintain political stability and deliver good government for Singapore, and kept it going through many terms of government,” Mr Lee said, contrasting it with examples in other countries.

“In those countries, governments find that doing the right thing is not politically feasible, and then political leaders of all parties default to populism or short-termism to stay in power,” he said.

“Thankfully, Singapore has been an exception to this rule.”

If PAP win by small margins, PAP may need to do populist but dumb things to remain in power. That's what we see in many countries around us today, including in jiuhu.

Job growth all taken by foreigner.so NS and SingKie only good for it.

PR taken all the job. Welcoming foreigner to takeover Singapore
PAP politicians pretend don't understand the situation. They only care about their own minister salaries lah. As long as they have the election margin they craved for, sinkies die is sinkie own problem. That's why die die must vote opposition. Only when their own rice bowl is threatened, then they will understand what ordinary sinkies are going through. Fuck PAP :FU:

He say the same thing in 2011 election, at Raffles Place, about spending all his time trying to fix the opposition and no time for policies. He lost 2 GRCs since then, and Singapore is getting better with more opposition daring to question the PAP and make them transparent to the voters. We need more opposition. another 2 more GRCs into the hands of opposition won't hurt. Ideally, the parliament should have 50/50 opposition and PAP. Besides, he has already stepped down as PM, and should just STFU and let Lawrence do the speaking.
