Speeches from the White House

I am impressed with the way that the Obama Administration is communicating with the people, not just President Obama but also Vice President Biden. That is true, democratic leadership. Watch the videos here.

Dear Mr Tan
I was likewise impressed with Mr Obama's State of the Union speech. Quite inspiring.

I could not help but compare the speech with a Singapore's leader comment recently about what Tampines flat owners should do if Mr MBT loses his GRC.

Inspiration versus fear.

I agree totally. There is a lot that we can learn from them. Unfortunately it is unlikely that we would make any progress considering how letter we have changed in the past 45 years. If anything had changed in terms of democracy, it had probably gone worse!

This man drew US$250k a year while ours drew US$2.5 million.

10 times less. This is productivity.

Paid less but deliver high quality and top class communication.

Conclusion: OUR GOVT IS OVER PAID.

Now the govt is asking people to increase productivity so as to reduce foreign workers dependency.

I think the govt salary should reduce by 10 before asking the poor heartlanders to increase productivity with more or less the same pay.

That s'pore elder leader must be a "horse" as a horse will never know its face is long.

A lot of them besides over paid and yet they're under qualified.

Guess what the new CEO of TH did on her first day of work? She did not know what to do as she was trained as an elect engineer, so the first thing she did was to change all her furniture in her office! - info from somebody working in TH
