TSL is Teo Ser Luck?

 

I think he didn't make another speech after that is it?

Think he ran out of any other things to say so better keep quiet.

i don't wish to rmb which date... quite a traumatic experience.

 

my jaw dropped and my niece is laughing at the vid.

 

The one where he goes TEO CHEE HIEN, TEO CHEE HIEN, TEO CHEE HIEN then finally TEO SER LUCK, TEO SER LUCK, TEO SER LUCK!

 

It is more like a spec rallying his troops than an officer rallying troops... I am also guilty of that when I tekan the men when I was in NS.

 

I think better tell tsl to talk to my pet gorilla.... Cause that is the reaction most have...

Yo bro, I am a specialist and I feel insulted to be compared to Teo Ser Luck. :angry:

 

For a start, I never shout my own name to motivate soldiers. [laugh]

Sorry.. we must compare apple to apple.. Singapore should be compared to countries like Switzerland, Sweden, Germany, Australia, New Zealand etc..

 

true...since we follow first world country lifestyle etc, then we must compare with these countries, how can we compare against neighbouring countries????

seems like TS got burned at the stake... :blink:

 

to be fair, the incumbent did went through some bad economical downturns and major events and came out without a black eye.

 

Yes, I dont like the fact Mas left without booking out. Why some leaders cannot seemingly apologise simply for their failures. Why my Indonesia client commented that Jakarta flood; Orchard Rd also flood. Why some ministers are still in the cabinet (read: Mah). Why basic housing is not so basic (read: Mah). Why public medical is at world standard prices but not world quality (read: long quenes). Why are citizenship so easily given when citizens went through tears and blood to holding on to it (read: NS). Why are NS treated as cheap labour doing menial work (read: sai-kang) instead of actual defence work.

 

But I do not want a parliament meetings to be like street gang fights (read: Taiwan/Korea). I do not want PM to be changed monthly (read: Japan). I do not want Opposition to just raise problems without raising a solution; spending reserves instead of earning it.

 

I have a good stable job although stressful at times but still a relatively good life... I believe the PM is sincere and well-meaning. His cabinet need to improve though. The Opposition, they have much to prove yet. More voices in parliament is good nevertheless.

 

I hold a pinky and did my time in NS; just got my "rolex"... those are my personal view, dun flame me... (not that i care).

 

Cheers [:p]

I originate from a neighboring country and have many years of first-hand experience living in Singapore and in my country. I observe Singaporeans' sentiments on this general election with interest and put forward my thoughts - food for thought for you perhaps.

 

Singaporeans have lots of genuine issues to be unhappy about.

Housing prices too high for newly-weds, high and rising cost of living, high cost of medical care, pressure-cooker education system and working life, high ministerial salaries, arrogant PAP politicians who don't care about the mid and lower income groups, large influx of immigrants, etc.

 

Let me describe some of the electoral issues people in my country are unhappy about.

Housing prices too high for newly-weds, high and rising cost of living, high cost of private medical care (public medical care cheap but dubious doctors), high income ministers but dubious sources of wealth, arrogant incumbent party politicians who don't care about the mid and lower income groups, large influx of immigrants (mostly unskilled labourers and many are illegals)

And Also

High rate of crime, rampant and systemic corruption and abuse of power, state sponsored racism and intolerance, still many people living in poverty, poor public transport in the major cities and non-existent public transport outside major cities, widespread environmental damage, education system that produces poorly skilled graduates unattractive to employers, economy losing out FDI to countries below and above it in the value chain, cash for votes, etc.

 

You can see that people in my country share many of the grouses that Singaporeans have but we have a lot other major grouses that Singaporeans do not have! The PAP is not perfect but they have produced a society that is by and large a good place to live, work and raise a family. It is not surprising large numbers of educated and skilled foreigners, with plenty of choices, choose to move to Singapore. PAP should be recognised for their good work done over the years with your votes. Like all the good and bad inherent in any spouse, the PAP's strengths and weaknesses come as a package. Compared to incumbent parties in neighboring countries, the PAP has far more strengths than weaknesses.

 

Foreigners can appreciate the good in Singapore because life in their countries are worse off. However Singaporeans have taken for granted their security, prosperity, an efficient, clean government and excellent economic and educational opportunities open to all citizens. Singaporeans assume these are a given, something that will naturally be there in Singapore. I beg to differ.

 

Even though past elections have only produced a handful of opposition seats, if enough unhappy people vote for the opposition this time, you might just kick out the ruling party to your surprise. Then in the years to come, only at a time of loss will Singaporeans find out what bliss they had.

 

The govt has mentioned in the past that

 

SINGAPORE POLITICS IS FOR SINGAPOREANS ONLY!!![/size]

 

 

So STFU. If you want to comment, become a citizen. Otherwise you appear to be leeching off our system.

He is right to say PAP has done a much better job than his Govt in Malaysia, that we have to admit. :D

 

Comparing to Malaysia? The whole cabinet can go and sleep for the entire term and still have done a better job than their counter part next door.

 

Has any one wonder why there is no LKY, LHL or any others from the lightning in Hong Kong or Korea and yet they are do so well? Do we really need a "Father" or "Hero" to move a country forward?

 

Hong Kong never had one.
