Too much thinking, too little execution?

Sent by a citizen to the government's Cut Waste Panel

Suggestion
While it is silly to bring a chain saw into a forest and keep cutting down trees without knowing exactly which trees to cut; it is also to me an overkill when you have so many Ministers in the PMO doing coordinating work but not having enough officers at the lower levels to execute policies and understand the needs of the people. Example one --- you have coordination minister in the PMO on security but not enough police officers around to deter crimes. Case in point, slashing at downtown east leading to one death. Example two -- you have education coordinating minister but not enough teachers to reduce class size. Example three -- you have the brains setting traffic rules (like zig zags, double zig zags) but not enough traffic police and wardens catching the offenders.

Love to read what the official reply would be . The writer did not mentioned a "SM" or two co-ordinating the other co-ord ministers..... !
It has always amaze me how bloated the PMO is.
Best of all the one who ask us to be faster / betterer / cheaper , is among them. Some pot or is it the kettle ?

Example 4 - all these years you have a minister coordinating procreation incentives and yet the birthrate goes down to history lows.

Example 5 - you have a minister coordinating old-age issues and everyone is still worried about growing old in Singapore.

And the ridiculous thing is, all these highly paid buggers are still entitled to up to 8 months bonus.

Geez.
