Wow Angmo work for for PAP for 25 years without pay

[RonRon]

FOR 25 years, Dr Albert Winsemius worked for the Singapore Government here without pay, helping to draw up 10-year development plans that transformed the island into today's high-technology, high-value-added industrial hub.

In honour of his contributions, especially between 1960 and 1985, Singapore will name a road after the late Dutch economist.

In announcing it on Thursday, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said the relationship typified the strong and long-standing ties between Singapore and the Netherlands.

Mr Lee was speaking at an Istana lunch he hosted for visiting Dutch Prime Minister Jan Peter Balkenende, who is on a four-day official visit. Earlier in the day, Dr Balkenende had called on President SR Nathan and Mr Lee.

In his speech, PM Lee said Dr Winsemius 'provided invaluable and wise advice on economic development and investment policy'.

The road bearing his name, Albert Winsemius Lane, is in the western part of Singapore island. It leads to the Aquatic Science Centre near Sungei Ulu Pandan. The water research centre is a tie-up between the National University of Singapore, the Public Utilities Board (PUB) and Dutch company Delft Hydraulics.

Hmm after losing Indonesia (which the Netherlands still hate Japan for) in the aftermath of WWII they got someone to help and develop the ex-colony of their European rival the British.

Dutch nationals should be welcomed by the number and be granted first-class citizenship just like they ironically granted that to the Japanese in Indonesia during the 19th Century.

If the value his work so much, the should name the road around Marina Bay....Winsemius Bay.. not some remote corner of Sunget Ulu Pandan..where the FT workers go....

 

[makapaaa]

They should rename Oxley Rd to Winsemius Rd to remind the Old Fart and his Familee the LIARS they are!

I find it really interesting that here was a man who worked so many years for free for the S'pore govt. and indirectly, the singapore people, and yet the PAP has forgotten his lesson. i.e. that not everything is about money. U don't need money to attract the so called top minds, and you don't need to have every single material things in life. eg. french cooking lessons in Paris. this guy master minded the HDB, the financial centre, container facilities, etc. His contributions to the singapore economy far outweigh the rest of the PAP leadership put together, yet he never signed any contract with them and was not paid. People who read this article should realise what a fraud and money faced politicians they have leading them.

2. the other thing is, this is a slap on the face for the men in whites.
3. working for free and working for millions, what a contrast!

Old Fart's Argument for Million Dollar paychecks for MIWs is flawed!

He was already being paid by the UN and before that the dutch govt. He had a reputation as a good economic mind, and he advised other countries like Greece and Portugal. When he is in S'pore, he does not pay for anything. Lodging is provided, etc. I guess money was not everything with him. I don't believe that he was a super rich millionaire when he died. For some people, helping people less fortunate that him is reward enough. But apparently, not the PAP.

many of Lee Con You's arguments are flawed for sure, this is just one. Even Con You worked for the first 20 years of his career for not a lot of money. Ib those days, the govt. was not very rich. Now all of a sudden, need multimillion dollar salary for himself. WTF

STOP at TWO

Graduates marry graduates...you get; 'white boy'...ha ha ha:p

[cooleo]

25 years without pay?

Lim Sia Suay wanted Sinkapore workforce to be "CHEAP".

Now apparently, "CHEAP" is not as good as "WORK FOR FREE"!

 

[sufferwell]

our million dollar ministers all dunno how to wear suits?

[mscitw]

Preparing the stage to name some silly memorials after his daddy soon, another cheap political trick.

Clown Prince is simply an appointed ruler who never lead peasants, taxing them and lecturing them over Dynastic Succession, truly a rogue chinkish port city!

Most of them are just well paid clowns with little or no etiquette or no respect to dress sense.Most of them does not have any presence as a Minister; let alone respect from the people. Most of them have that silly mentality that it doesn't matter or it won't hurt. Seen that too often in any government sectors.

 

[Liquigas]

Serious folks, tell me, if Singapore was just a small island lying somewhere in the South Pacific or be like another Timor Leste, do you think the 10-year economic plan drawn by the late great Dutch economist can produce any miracle?
