"The downturn should serve as a wake-up call to those who believe that Singapore and Singaporeans will automatically go up the escalator every year".

Up escalator or up lorry?...

 

[leetahbar]

Esacalator is 2-ways traffic. it goes up. it comes down. but the traffic now is going down. what the gov is doing now is trying to save companies to keep peasants "employed".

the trouble is there is very few orders or demands. gabramen is just trying to delay the closing shop of those companies which could exploit all the "schemes".

there were drastic pay cuts of peasants before. in the end the companies benefitted the most and the peasants continue to slog with not much wages increments in proportion to the rising costs the gabramen created in education, medical, public transport and etc.

how could gabramen keep shortchanging peasants whether in good or bad times?

if they are bold, first thing first: REDUCE GST and a host of other overbearing charges.

we have witnessed the obsene billions lost with with a click of their fingers and reduction of overhead costs would surely benefit every peasants. it's actually PEANUTS to them compare to their losses not fully revealed to peasants.

Lee Kuan Yew on the huge investment loses by GIC and Temasek

​

​

"When we invest, we are investing for 10, 15, 20 years. You may look as if you are making a big loss today, but you have not borrowed money to invest. You will ride the storm, the company recovers, your shares go up."

Lee Kuan Yew on giving handouts to Singaporeans

​

’Give S$300 to every citizen and we will boost the retailers’, they just do not understand the bigger picture. You give S$300 like that and it is gone in a shot, and all the things that they will buy, three—quarters of it are imported,"

Of course. That doesn't mean your son deserves the Office that he currently holds though. That mandate shouldn't come from you or a demi-God; it comes from the people.

Then what happened in the 4th quarter of 2008, when the economy was allowed to slide -12%, and the companies were allowed to retrench as many people as they want? Weren't you guys already sitting idle and waiting for the storm to hit us?

So now you think that a paddle and a sampan that you have given us is enough when what we need is a good captain, with good experience and judgment, with a compass and a good boat with a good engine in these difficult times? Give me a break, Mr. Lee.

suppose this storm is ride and handled by chee soon juan, what would be the outcome?

it could have been even worst!

suppose this storm is ride and handled by chee soon juan, what would be the outcome?

it could have been even worst!

PM LHL had the choice to let it slide and "whatever will be, will be" or he could have shown more decisiveness by taking control of the situation from September. Instead because his father is in charge, and he hasn't challenged his father to slowly step aside over the years, he let his father dictate the terms.

And since ah-pa didn't know or didn't want to do anything(almost sounds like he's even worse than Bush in that aspect), LHL also didn't say a squeak that show that he could do something, and restore a bit of the self-esteem and confidence.

Instead the government relied on Tony Tan to spin news out of nothing, thinking that it'd be enough to get people to ignore the sliding economy and perhaps if we ignore it long enough, the problem would go away.

LHL could have taken a leaf out of PM Kevin Rudd's book. PM Rudd has been on the forefront ever since Lehman collapsed, pushing for and getting the policies passed to address the slide in business and the people's confidence, to do some spending to create jobs, and to reduce the chances of the economy crashing to the depths. The result is that Australia's economy, if in a recession- according to NAB- will only shrink 0.25% in 2009.

That's way better than most developed nations in Asia, Europe, and in North America. If Singapore crash -10% this year, the worst Bloomberg news have said, we are 50 times worse off than Australia. That's how bad it is, and that shows the utter lack of depth in the leadership of the government. They didn't understand, or didn't want to reconcile the fact that this recession is way way different and deeper than other recessions in the last 30-40 years.

When they finally realised it, the economy cratered at -12% for the last quarter of 2008. It was ridiculously late.
