When parliamentary answers seem overly optimistic or too good to be true, it can often raise skepticism among the public. This glossy portray of policy and outcome may alienate spectators who were looking for transparency and honesty. Instead of making feel realistic, these polished response often lead to further deafening, as people feel that their concerns are being glossed over or dismissed. Ka ki kong, ka ki song.
...........I apologised to a shop for being difficult. Their reply shocked me. Without being defensive, they told me that they appreciated customers like me because it helps them improve and that happy customers means happy businesses.
Being in the opposition is often a thankless job, except for the The Workers Party . Without the opposition's efforts, social media, a lot of essential services might not be addressed, leaving us with just the bare minimum. As long as they got their quota, and make some news that they are doing their jobs, most were just sweep under. If Worker's Party genuinely cares for the good of Singapore, they should co-operate with other parties like Marine Parade or give the 2 best losers to the other oppostion instead of chope. If they go down, there will be no backups.
It's frustrating trying to reach out for answers, only to find that landlines go unanswered or the responses we do get are generic and devoid of any personal touch. It feels like we're just another number in a system.
While the talk show in Australia was one-sided and biased, it contained a little truth?
Even if social media reflects only the opinions of a few, people do have an outlet to post their grievances, though some posts seem to be primarily self-serving.
The daily news deaths, scams, the crimes shows a society that only looks good on the outside but is habouring underlying deep issues. Or we are good because of comparing ourselves to low benchmarks set by neighbouring countries.
Now with weirdo Ah Loong around he does keeps the ministers on their toes because of his long history. In contrast Lawless Wong he will and never comand that level of respect. This might explain one reason everthing is anyhow nowadays.
My family only feel safe only at home. Roads and public spaces no longer provide that level of safety anymore. We try not to avoid go out during peak hours or public holidays to fight for spaces.
When a country boast substantial budget surpluses, tis often indicates that its citizens are subjected to an overly high taxation across many channel including land , gst, levies, coes and other fiscal tax. Tis tax serve as revenue , enabling it to finance vital public services such as education, healthcare, infrastructure , social welfare program and meanistirs high pay.
Tis approach to everything also high tax can lead to enhanced public services and overall societal benefits, it also raises concerns among the people. Many citizens may feel overburdened by the financial strain. Striking the right balance between generate revenue and foster a thriving economy is a critical challenge that governments must navigate to ensure they maintain trust and support. Tis equilibrium for economic stability but also for the over wellbeing and satisfaction of the citizens.
People needs banks more than banks need the people. As more individuals and businesses borrow money it boosts the banks profitability one of the reasons higher profits had led to collection of more corporate taxes lead to surplus? People are in high debt while banks and government earn more moni. Dam shiok hor.
Rich ministers and power can lead to downside that may affect governaning and society.
Bogeymen were highly used during elections till the real bogeyman finaly appear now.
So sick of POFMA.
Ministers with biggie wealth are disconnected from the reality faced by average citizens, making policies that do not have needs of the broader populations.
Alamak dam paiseh.
Power and money can lead to bullying, intimidation, a sence of entitlement, and dissent.
Got karma or not arh.
Can we ever find ministers who can never be wrong?
Aiyo why so like tat. Pauline Hanson finally.
Lee Hsein Loong must have good health. I met some tourist and they told me Singapore is veri safe and clean. I asked them where they staying and they replied Raffles hotel and fullerton.
Not sia suay leh.
ha ha ha so funny cos so many mentally ill people nowadays drunks smoking and drugs. Also a lot of lazy people. dont know is it cannot get jobs or just make money by cheating or doing all illegal kind of thing. All hor kuah bo hor chia one. So scary sia.
I scared to have children. If son rape case life gone even only what happen only known by 2 people. Cannot anyhow say wait pofma. Stupid ah Kua.
Next election prey half will be oppsitions. God can you listen or not. People are desperate.
If things are expensive, just give vouchers. Low birth rate just bring in more rubbish. This type anybody also know how to solve. Tat is why we need talent. not robots.
We have low taxes then why companies are running away. Maths 1+1=11
siao . Those who can also leaving to compromise not living in such condense and confine like crazy. We cannot give them free hands to puppet us. We are humans. Everything is about money. Quality or quantity. Stop sucking to china to even turning here into mini china. Really hate them. talk so loud and they q sideways instead of behind. Choi.
There is fire and no smoke? They create a fire, and when there is smoke, they push it away in different directions. One person claimed that he sacrificed his salary and career to serve the public. However, it was only recently that he purchased a GCB after becoming a minister. Or perhaps it was the other way around; no one really knows. In any case, good luck to them as they try to maintain their resilience in the public eye, as it is not an easy task. No matter how they cleared their names, I can only speak for myself and that is they cannot be trusted!
Amos Yee belongs to IMH. Yet no government agencies stepped forward to offer the help he or the family needed and just used punishment as a deterrent when he created havoc here and elsewhere. Which human with the right state of mind is not afraid of the kind of law here after already being punished? Every Singaporean counts! Just promise tons during elections!
Singapore and Malaysia share special interdependence. Many Singaporeans visit Malaysia to shop ๐️, and eat๐, and benefit from lower prices, boosting the Malaysian economy, especially in Johor Bahru. Singaporeans go to Malaysia to spend money.
On the other side, many Malaysians come to Singapore to earn money๐ผ, This enriches Singapore's diverse workforce.
Overall, the two countries foster mutual growth ๐ฑ and highlight the importance of collaboration.
Tan Kuku for emotional or physical help, but they only know how to provide vouchers for assist. The ministers are not well-rounded; they hold many titles because they are within a closed circle that outsiders cannot access? Their brains appears to be quite scattered? Megan Khung is a good example of this. They disregard the grandmother making the report, possibly issues coming from people at the lower end of the social spectrum?

They like to create a lot of work, like they are doing well, but all is substanceless one. None was able to spot that insurance companies were selling outdated policies to the public. This is the kind of government one that is passive,we have now. Sleeping and letting the public suffer.
It has now become a voucher country. Vouch here and there, and ouch people feelin the pain.
Someone told us the 13 people kenna kotok paying 900 ringgit for a cooked fish in Genting Highlinds , the bill did not show any GST and the service charge was very minimal. I'm uncertain of details I only got told. So heartening to see the authorities took the trouble to go down to investigate. Here, people need to take their own trouble to Case? Only to find there's NO CASE.
It’s true that someone like SM Hsien Loong Lee, with the advantages of huge inheritance from his parents , may not need the country in the same the country needs him. His influence lies in the wisdom, experience, respect and empathy he brings to the nation. His ability to navigate complex issues and offer guidance can shape the future, benefiting not just his immediate circle but the entire country. Leaders with such depth of wisdom can inspire and uplift society as a whole, making their role invaluable despite their personal wealth. Another will be Emeritus Chok Tong Goh.
Bloomberg likely has a robust legal team in place. Before any content is published, especially if it’s sensitive or could have legal implications, the legal support team would review the material to ensure compliance with laws and regulations. This helps mitigate risks and ensures that the information shared is accurate and responsibly communicated. It’s often said that you have the advantage when the playing field is in your favour, much like when Miss Thailand triumphed in the beauty pageant hosted in Bangkok. It’s pretty straightforward. Thank you, Bloomberg, for not only helping the country to fight power imbalance, but also bringing light.๐ฆ. Heaven has eyes. Is this the first time they have been in the limelight?
SM Loong is one of the few ministers left who genuinely prioritise the country’s interests ๐ธ๐ฌ. We not claiming he’s perfect, though. If a homegrown judge casts Bloomberg in a negative light , it could lead to foreign companies relocating or deter potential investors from coming here because of bias justice system., and we don’t think he would be pleased about that. Bloomberg has a presence in almost every country ๐, and their news reaches a wide audience ๐บ. For the sake of 2 politicians, I don’t believe that would be the case. Bloomberg may still have a chance in this legal matter ๐ค, considering the implications for the country. He won't even allow his own brother to get his way on the house because of cheating on the will leh. And he was left with a broken family.
This situation illustrates how context and cultural differences can lead to misunderstandings in communication--A lady who baked a cake for a potluck function. At the end of the evening, she asked a friend to try her home baked cake. Her friend declined saying she was diabetic and not a "sweet" eater. The lady felt offended that her friend insulted her cake was sweet, saying she measured everything precisely from the cookbook. What the friend meant was she was not into DESSERTS.
In some regions, the term "sweets" can indeed refer specifically to desserts or sugary treats. This highlights the importance of clarity in communication and the impact of regional slang or colloquialisms.
Such misunderstandings can strain relationships, as seen in this case, where one person felt offended without the intention of causing offence. It shows how vital it is to consider not just the words used, but also the possible interpretations behind them based on cultural and personal contexts.
If you are an American, you will know that Michael Bloomberg is a household name. By the way, the company have their backs on the staffs, and paying high-flyer defence says money is not an issue. The big issue is they want to defend their rights for the world to see that if they published an article they stand by what is true. Even if Singapore wins, the world knows what is true. The more the details come to light the more questionable the whole deal seems especially in a first world country like Singapore! It would have been more common in countries like Malaysia, Indonesia or even Cambodia.
If remember correctly, when the Ridout case came to light, the former Prime Minister was asked to initiate an investigation volutarily, which led to CIMB being called in. Once CIMB cleared them, they began to file lawsuits.
However, for this more serious case, there was no voluntary investigation. Instead, there were just threats of and lawsuits. Cannot be because different PM right? This one no calibre one, only know how to talk about off topics which are not related. Give credit when due-he a upright fella and authentic.

Whatever the amount of energy they put in, whether it's 0 or 3X they still earn the same amount of money each month. It comes down to human beings how much they can get away with leveraging their positions and the manipulation of languages to their advantages
It can be overwhelming that the daily happenings seemed extra depressing feeling like we're sinking beneath the weight of everthing going on. I hope I am not alone in experiencing and going through this?
"You can pull out the weeds but you cannot stop its growth" suggests that while we can remove problems from our lives temporarily, those issues can resurface if not dealt with at the root level. It serves as a reminder that true change requires more than just surface-level solutions, it requires addressing the underlying causes. It encourages a proactive plus deep approaches to tackling problems rather than just treating the symptoms. Laws and rules are to inpose punishments rather than prevent wrongdoing. While laws established order and promoting conduct, it is not a solution for a compliant society?
Bloomberg Low De Wei is an excellent candidate for the Workers' Party(WP), especially considering WP tendency to operate with shrouded in secrecy ๐คซ. His involvement could bring much-needed transparency and insight ๐.
Goh Chok Tong's son and SM Lee's brother did not escape leh. Should we believe these two can avoid scrutiny, especially with that kind of power and position sia. Maybe 2 kinds of grey laws lor.
Over the years, the role of the president has evolved, particularly with the introduction of more stringent eligibility criteria and the shift to a more ceremonial role.
While the president holds important powers, such as safeguarding reserves and approving key appointments, the actual political power is often seen as limited compared to the Prime Minister and the cabinet. This has led to discussions about the relevance of the role in the current landscape.
In summary, the Singapore president has no value to the country. Waste of space and money. The right candidate should be Han Hui Hui or Daniel Goh(ex WP)
It can be really frustrating when you call a company and get stuck navigating through automated menus, with auto vioces directed us to a link www.com that doesn’t provide the information you need. The site is looks like in French and you’re looking for answers that wasn't even there.

Dr Koh Poh Koon is a good man. The reason he was not cut out as a good politician was that he lacks assertiveness, aggresiveness and he does not know how to mince words cuz he looked like a simple decent human.

New Zealand has a population of approximately 5.4 million people and covers an area of about 103,000 square miles. Bhutan has a population of around 1 million and a land area of 14,000 square miles. Bhutan is usually praised for its unique towards development, putting happiness and well-being over economic growth. This focus on *gross national happiness* and sustainable living has make its reputation as a safe and happy country, with a strong emphasis on preserving culture and the environment. Both countries offer their own unique advantages, making them interesting in terms of population manage and society values. While this is not a direct comparison, we take pride in being one of the most advanced and prosperous countries in the world. However, we should question whether the people here are truly happy, considering issues such as high stress levels, overwork, broken families, rising rates of suicide, sleep-related deaths, declining marriage and birth , accidents, scams, high cancer and heart attack rates and the *sorry* and *excuse me* are so common because people just bumped into each other during peak hours. When we have 2 million foreigners in a country with 4 million citizens and permanent residents, all within an area of just 288 square miles, something clearly seems off. However, no one seems to know why. People are not against foreigners; rather, it’s the disproportionate numbers that concern them. The next time someone discusses the presence of foreigners, it's important to recognize that their arguments often center solely around the idea that we need them for economic growth they just speak for the sake of feeling that they know what they are talking about. Yet, even growth has its limits. More People Means More Trouble? Is growth everthing in life? New Zealand and Bhutan still never Toh Tio and never will! And any govrnment people say not enough land better shut up.
Nordic countries consistently top the World Happiness Report, which can seem surprising given their high income taxes.
Nordic languages can be quite challenging to learn, and for many potential immigrants, the difficulty may deter them from moving there. Additionally, the laid-back lifestyle, may not everyone's expectations or lifestyle preferences, making them less attractive to some migrants.
While some critics might question the happiness surveys, the consistent ranking does highlight an economic stability, social equality, and a high standard of living that seems to resonate with the residents of these nations. These Nordic countries are not at the mercy of immigrants.
Here the pace of life is fast, it's frustrating when you're driving in the right lane at the speed limit of 80 kph with cruise control set, and dudes behind you are flashing their headlights or honking because they expect you to go faster. Parking lots at malls now have extra markings that seem to appear out of nowhere. The views are often obstructed for drivers, and to make matters worse, only half of the lights are on due to electricity cuts costs. It's all about profits and money, but at the expense of public inconvenience. I even saw drivers driving with poodles on their laps.
Brunei's wealth can be attributed to several factors to thrive without reliance on external incomes.
Natural Resources- Brunei has large reserves of oil and natural gas, which are the backbone of its economy.
Investing in education and healthcare for developing a skilled workforce and maintaining a high quality of life. This, turns into a stable and productive society.
As a result of investments, Brunei has cultivated a wealthy and self-sustaining economy, allowing its citizens to thrive with minimal reliance on foreign investment or intervention.
In a wealthy country filled with bust and skyscrapers , luxury cars zooms in well-maintained streets. The economy looks good, that many would envy. However, beneath this shiny exterior, there lies a profound sense of emptiness in everyday existence.
The streets are crowded, but the interactions between people?. Conversations are transactional, lacking the warmth and depth that foster genuine human connection. People pursue wealth, status, success, yet many feel depressed and have no time to smell the roses till the regrets on deathbed.
Despite the convenience of modern life—high-end restaurants, expansive shopping malls, and endless entertainment options—there’s a growing disconnection and the me only. Saw a post on the Forum page today about a guy complaining about the high costs of flying, as if the whole country owed him a living. ๐๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ท๐๐๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐น๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒ๐๐๐๐น๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ผ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ป๐ฑ. ๐ง๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ผ๐ณ species ๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด!
The relentless quest for more—more money, more status, more things—can overshadow the simple joys of life. As a result, it's easy to feel as if the soul of the country is absent, lost in the pursuit of materialism, leaving citizens yearning for something deeper, the soul. Finding meaningful way a sense of belonging in a society that often values speed, money, bottom line, productivity over humanity, compassion, contentment, family caring and peace. The discussion centers around underground spaces and additional land reclamation. What is the plan? Never heard of such thing in this world? Even Monaco, which is money-focused and wealthy with foreigners, has only a population of 38,000.

This glossy portray of policy and outcome may alienate spectators who were looking for transparency and honesty.

There is something very wrong with the law when perjurers and their cronies have a place in parliament. Yet, some continue to boast about our good laws?
Dr Koh Poh Koon is a good man. The reason he was not cut out as a good politician was that he lacks assertiveness, aggresiveness and he does not know how to mince words cuz he looked like a simple decent human. Words and actions can be powerful tools to shape and influence to a certain way and depending may lead to meaningful out comes. ⟪
New Zealand has a population of approximately 5.4 million people and covers an area of about 103,000 square miles. Bhutan has a population of around 1 million and a land area of 14,000 square miles. Bhutan is usually praised for its unique towards development, putting happiness and well-being over economic growth. This focus on *gross national happiness* and sustainable living has make its reputation as a safe and happy country, with a strong emphasis on preserving culture and the environment. Both countries offer their own unique advantages, making them interesting in terms of population manage and society values.
ReplyDeleteWhile this is not a direct comparison, we take pride in being one of the most advanced and prosperous countries in the world. However, we should question whether the people here are truly happy, considering issues such as high stress levels, overwork, broken families, rising rates of suicide, sleep-related deaths, declining marriage and birth , accidents, scams, high cancer and heart attack rates and the *sorry* and *excuse me* are so common because people just bumped into each other during peak hours.
When we have 2 million foreigners in a country with 4 million citizens and permanent residents, all within an area of just 288 square miles, something clearly seems off. However, no one seems to know why. People are not against foreigners; rather, it’s the disproportionate numbers that concern them. The next time someone discusses the presence of foreigners, it's important to recognize that their arguments often center solely around the idea that we need them for economic growth they just speak for the sake of feeling that they know what they are talking about. Yet, even growth has its limits.
More People Means More Trouble? Is growth everthing in life? New Zealand and Bhutan still never Toh Tio and never will! And any govrnment people say not enough land better shut up.
Nordic countries consistently top the World Happiness Report, which can seem surprising given their high income taxes.
DeleteNordic languages can be quite challenging to learn, and for many potential immigrants, the difficulty may deter them from moving there. Additionally, the laid-back lifestyle, may not everyone's expectations or lifestyle preferences, making them less attractive to some migrants.
While some critics might question the happiness surveys, the consistent ranking does highlight an economic stability, social equality, and a high standard of living that seems to resonate with the residents of these nations. These Nordic countries are not at the mercy of immigrants.
Here the pace of life is fast, it's frustrating when you're driving in the right lane at the speed limit of 80 kph with cruise control set, and dudes behind you are flashing their headlights or honking because they expect you to go faster. Parking lots at malls now have extra markings that seem to appear out of nowhere. The views are often obstructed for drivers, and to make matters worse, only half of the lights are on due to electricity cuts costs. It's all about profits and money, but at the expense of public inconvenience. I even saw drivers driving with poodles on their laps.
PAP likes to pick and choose to compare. We can also do the same.

We survived on 2 million, 3 million, 4 million & 5 million. Why do we need a population of 6 million or more for more costs and misery?
In a wealthy country filled with bust and skyscrapers , luxury cars zooms in well-maintained streets. The economy looks good, that many would envy. However, beneath this shiny exterior, there lies a profound sense of emptiness in everyday existence.
DeleteThe streets are crowded, but the interactions between people?. Conversations are transactional, lacking the warmth and depth that foster genuine human connection. People pursue wealth, status, success, yet many feel depressed and have no time to smell the roses till the regrets on deathbed.
Despite the convenience of modern life—high-end restaurants, expansive shopping malls, and endless entertainment options—there’s a growing disconnection and the me only. Saw a post on the Forum page today about a guy complaining about the high costs of flying, as if the whole country owed him a living. ๐๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ท๐๐๐ ๐๐ผ ๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐น๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒ๐๐๐๐น๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ผ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ป๐ฑ. ๐ง๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ผ๐ณ species ๐๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด!
The relentless quest for more—more money, more status, more things—can overshadow the simple joys of life. As a result, it's easy to feel as if the soul of the country is absent, lost in the pursuit of materialism, leaving citizens yearning for something deeper, the soul. Finding meaningful way a sense of belonging in a society that often values speed, money, bottom line, productivity over humanity, compassion, contentment, family caring and peace.
The discussion centers around underground spaces and additional land reclamation. What is the plan? Never heard of such thing in this world?
Even Monaco, which is money-focused and wealthy with foreigners, has only a population of 38,000.
