Sosaria Turbocharged November 4, 2011 Share November 4, 2011 (edited) Basically PM is telling the europeans that it is easy to solve their problems. They must work harder and longer hours, and idle less, don't go for long summer vacations... be like singaporeans! Scrap the welfare system... old people need to earn their keep by working at fast-food restaurants, or sent to retirement homes in batam or jb... cheaper! PM knows the answers! Seriously though, I think those european leaders know the solutions, but are not willing to pay the political price to implement them.

1fast1 Supersonic November 4, 2011 Share November 4, 2011 (edited) Actually, hor, Ah Loong does have the solution for the Euro crisis. Chongkong the people's hard earned money indefinitely and use it for risky investments and bailouts with zero accountability and zero personal risk. Browbeat the people into submission so they can't complain. Easy solution. But he dare not say it out to the world press, and it won't fly in any real democracy anyway.

And open the floodgate for cheap FT to flood in? Force the citizens to be cheaper. If he do that, I'm sure riots across the whole country, employ tanks to cope?

JumpySpeedFiend 2nd Gear November 4, 2011 Share November 4, 2011 There is nothing wrong with PM Lee's speech. If Obama is to make the same speech, it will be along the same line. Concerned about the EU situation might effect world economies, urged EU to come together for a quick resolution. He is just expressing a view as a leader from Singapore, not teaching them what to do.

He can tell them to start implementing: CPF ERPs COE for cars Euro $100 entrance into EU casinos No subsidies for medical Build HDB flats with "subsidised" prices, take back all the land All public transport to be corporatised and aim is to make $$. Last but not least, pay millions of euro dollars to every EU minister With all these, EU can save itself........

The EU ppl are not balless like Sinkie..who kuai kuai take any shxt dished out on them while their masters enjoy the rewards.. You try to implement 'bite the bullet' concepts in EU and the polictical leaders have BIGGER shxt in return.. Workers, unions will strike and entire economy will be stalled.. As I say ...Ah Loong solutions can only be implemented on ppl who are balless..and who are bred in a climate of fear... Just like his own Sinkie back home...

Tigerwoods Turbocharged November 4, 2011 Share November 4, 2011 he teaching them how to solve their own problems by telling them to solve their own problems fast Agree. his speech did not offer any solutions at all. Frankly no one there knows how to solve. The only way is debt writedown and not increasing the debt by giving more money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerwoods Turbocharged November 4, 2011 Share November 4, 2011 He will tell them to pay millions of salary to the EU ministers, so that the EU can be saved. "with a high pay, the ministers will be able to think and work better for the country's sake. If not, the ministers would feel ashamed and thus having no motivation to focus on the much needed work to be done" "the President must too be paid a fair share of the millions, so that he can entertain foreign visitors and attend charity shows" If Ministers not high pay, how can they talk and convince CEOs earning higher to follow their economic plans ?

Tigerwoods Turbocharged November 4, 2011 Share November 4, 2011 ""But a resolution may not come easy, as decision-making in the EU is more complex."" This is the problem. ""Mr Lee said the only long-term solution is economic growth and job creation. But structural changes need to be made, and Mr Lee called on his audience to exercise political leadership, and act before it is too late."" This is the solution. EU needs to do the Singapore way of implementing new policies.... .... if got people kpkb.... just use i..s..a... This solution is like telling me to use the toilet if I high tide. Of course if got econ growth + job creation = recovery but HOW to get GROWTH and create JOBs ?? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
