We vote for the leaders/ministers to work and find solutions for people problems. Have you forgotten you are the public servants to serve the people? You have no moral authority to rule over the people because of injustice practice !
Opposition parties are also citizens. They and their families, children also have a stake in Singapore. Yet so many of them hv been sued, expelled, charged under this and that. This National Day, we want to give a special appreciation to thank all the opposition parties, for their courage, for boldly speaking out, for raising questions and providing alternative views.
Providing "alternative views" is not the same as delivering better outcomes. Views are just opinions and talk rhetoric. Only PAP politicians risk their reputation and incomes to deliver better for majority of singaporeans, not the Oppositions with their self-interest and personal revenge agenda.
@@scbchong6964 Hi, I used to be a pap supporter, but after watching parliamentary debates in the last couple of years, I began to sympathise with the opposition party MPs, and really appreciate them for their courage and for risking everything. More than ever, I began to understand why we must not give the gov a blank cheque, because indeed they hv made mistakes that affected us, our children and our nation, eg raising GST during worsening inflation, and causing food, and services to become so expensive. So we really need the opposition parties to check and ask questions, just like we need to check the parachute before jumping off the helicopter. I also hope both sides can devote more energy on important matters of the country, but fierce attacks on the opposition (eg Committee of Privileges and police investigations on Raeesah Khan case) will naturally invite fierce counterattacks, not only from the opposition parties, but also from commoners who began to sympathise with the latter. And about ‘delivering better outcomes’, you can understand that only the gov can do the actual executing, implementing and delivering, because the opposition has no access 🚫 to the machinery of the Civil Service, and so, they can only speak up about their alternative views, and we have seen that they did propose many workable ideas.
I've to point out one thing. When Chee's old boss, Chiam was around, he was the one suing the PAP. So how is it now that when Chee is in charge, it's now the PAP suing him? Every time Chee makes one of his stupid mistakes, I really wonder if he is a PAP spy sent in to damage the opposition because I can't possibly imagine how you can sabo your own team so badly accidentally.
@@danielc2701 The opposition politicians hate the PAP for sure, but do they care and love Singapore and all singaporeans? Two separate issues, hor. Opposition bears a grudge and vengeful against PAP, but can they deliver better? Or is it just personal agenda? Just because they are Opposition, they don't spew propaganda, lies, rhetoric and BS? Opposition politicians behave holier-than-thou with too much self-interest, self-importance and fat ego. Just because someone blame loudly does not mean that person is an angel or a saint. If you have worked long enough, you will know that those who complain and blame others the most, actually contribute the least and have bad attitude.
Well done CSJ has raised some very relevant questions which nobody in Parluament has raised or answered. Now when Lee Hsien Yang raises some doubt about the 2 Ministers sincerity, he is now threatened with legal suits. Is this 2 Ministers so arrogant now that they can even threaten other Singaporeans who have raised further doubts about there sincerity in the whole matter ? Is PAP becoming a CCP type government when it comes to silencing its critics ?
Hello, CCP is different la. Get yr head straightened out. Firstly, it isnt the US bogey man CCP, it is CPC la. Read up pls. 2ndly they have put back the UK Opium forced-fed Chinese Civilisation back on its glorious path since 5000 yrs ago, incl yr ah kong, lau cho kong and yourself - got it? PAP is different , an entitled bunch of power crazy & greedy " natural aristocrats" as they had called themselves who had inherited the good LKY gvt.
Pap are a modern communist country , they have all the tools to silent any allegations against them and they will do what it takes to ensure that there is no transparency in pap
@@firefly4326The relevant points are: 1. When the government did not allow multi-generational living but they do otherwise…no moral leadership 2. When the minister asked his secretary to pass him the SLA list for personal reasons…no professionalism 3. When the ministers’ wives (not the ministers) who commit to the rental contracts which (may intentionally or unintentionally)no shown their names…no transparency. If they did not do anything wrong, why not just put their name on the dotted line and be transparent?
Mr Chee expresses so well what we instinctively feel inside but don't have the so precise and accurate words which describes our suppressed feelings of unfairness. Wish you a miraculous success in the Quixote mission of your life.😊
Moral leadership. Well stated. You've nailed it. IMO, the whole saga is stupid. The system is wrong and yet they use it and stated they follow the system and all are not wrong. The SLA head needs to drop.
Agree Sagas are Stupid… Not be surprised if we soon have an Ong Beng Seng Hospital or similar to join ranks with Khoo Teck Phuat & Ng Teng Fong Hospitals … Our Government is Malfunctioning 😊
Please don't take us for granted and take us for a ride as if we are so naive about things that are happening around us. Some of us are still struggling to keep our head above the water with unemployment after the COVID pandemic and yet you ministers have the cheek to splurge yourselves with luxury of life just because you love and wanted to. LHL you have lost the moral compasses when you failed to discipline your ministers.
The reason they take us for granted is that they are those in the "us" that are strongly on their side.And that these people see the rest as an ungrateful lot who do not see the good done.
@@TerenceTHNg Yeah but Chee isn't the moral leadership we need either. He might talk nice but like when he saboed his mentor Chiam, if you got something he wants, he'll run you over too. So pot and kettle.

Besides the two Ministers mentioned, it appears that the Prime Minister is the first among ministers to falter in the capacity of moral leadership. This type of government has to go.
This pappy garment is very mysterious, It makes me wonder what surprises they may spring on us next. Their sense of entitlement is so evident that there are no words to describe it, and we don't need any more pappy remarks to explain it away or sweep it under the rug. Their fishy bones are still lodged in everyone's throat, causing permanent scars.
What entitlement? Ridout bungalows ALL singaporeans can rent. Furthermore, only singaporeans can buy landed property GCB. Isn't that a privilege? It is only left to your talent and skills to earn a high wage to afford the things you desire in life. Ministers also never steal your 5-rm HDB and keep for themselves lah.
Ownself check ownself Government and the ministers have used this sentence openly. In other words, YES we admit to that and what can you do about it? Well, Singapore is already down the drain. There is no point raising anything. Our ministers behave like mouse in front of large nation government officials whilst behaving like lords in front of Singaporeans.

In addition to renting large SLA houses, are the two ministers renting out their good-class bungalow (GCB) for a much larger rental than what they are paying SLA. If this is true, then they are not only staying in large landed property they are also making a huge gain monthly.

Majority voters have, for nearly 60 years, given away the Powers that made us afraid of speaking up. Afraid of Pofma , afraid of speaking up boldly like a man
Also massive change is usually preceded by massive pain. Singaporeans by and large are born into comfort. The last generation in Singapore that truly suffered and had fight in them are also sadly now a rapidly thinning herd, as they die off…Every generation after that was born into spectacular progress and comfort (some luxury). In general our struggles are mostly what you would call 1st world problems. The “pain” we go through is not enough for us to effect change and to do whatever it takes to make ourselves heard. Those that govern us know this and so adjust their will on us while subjugating our voice just within the threshold of our collective tolerance. I know I sound cynical but I have seen enough to believe they is no end to this other than tapping out and leaving the country for those you can.
We have never "given away" anything. I'm not afraid to speak up, if you are, it's not the PAP gagging you, it's you gagging yourself. And it goes both ways. I can say that it is high time for the Lee family to move on but I can also say that Chee Soon Juan is not the hero the extreme opposition and foreigners like to make him out to be. He did a lot of things that are questionable too and frankly most of his highlights are just political grandstanding. He's not a good leader.

Honestly CSJ should ask about the coerced covid vaccinations and the multiple injuries and deaths that ensued after that instead of this saga, not to mention people can't get a job and income for months if they refused to take the covid jab. That's even more morally bankrupt.
This Ridout Road saga has highlighted the deficiencies and loopholes in SLA. So the disappointment we feel is that, instead of admitting its shortcomings and assuring us that they will do some reviews, SLA arrogantly defended itself, projecting an image of 'I know better than u', arrogance & elitism. That's why the public has negative impressions of the pap.

The issue is not with them living in big houses. They earn a good salary and they are entitled to live in a big house, if they so wish to. The main issue is that they are paying below market rent for these properties.
@@LonganLeeI personally think renting it out even below market value is ok, if its not rented the state gets nothing, no income. But to me the issue is IF they are making a profit of renting out their own GCBs and their family members. And secondly the point of why it is under their wives names raises concerns. And lastly if the SLA pays so much in repairs and refurbishment to the other black and white houses before it is leased out.
Black n whites r legacy from colonial times. They r old. Just count the age. Much cost is needed to sustain them not unlike gazetted preserved shophouses. Structures are better preserved in use n maintained. Decay and dilapidation sets in quickly otherwise. A landlord is obliged to lease out spaces that are tenable. And tenants have to do a lot more to furbish these old places. Why is it wrong for those who lease out their own properties while renting their own accommodation? Many sgreans are pty investors n r doing same. Its in their wives names to lessen inquisitive sleuthing?

It's quite intriguing to witness a politician who has encountered multiple legal convictions touting the concept of moral leadership. Yet, this paradoxical stance has inspired me to shape my own interpretation of moral leadership: 1. Moral leadership invites self-reflection. It encourages examining reasons why the party carrying a moral compass had never been voted into Parliament for decades ever since the shifts in leadership. 2. True moral leadership requires a steadfast commitment to upholding the law, even in the face of political agendas. It's about prioritizing the collective good over personal gain and setting an example of integrity. 3. Authentic moral leadership is rooted in transparency and honesty, refraining from the temptation to spread misinformation or falsehoods for the sake of political mileage. It's an embodiment of ethical principles, even within the realm of free expression. 4. Genuine moral leadership understands that freedom of expression is accompanied by responsibilities. Balancing the right to speak with the need to protect the rights of others, national security, and public order is an essential aspect of this leadership. 5. At its core, moral leadership champions equal opportunities for all and freedom of choice in housing with distinctive lifestyle regardless of their social or economic status. It champions the right to aspire and achieve within the boundaries of the law, fostering a society where freedom is embraced responsibly.
Isn't it Politics of Envy rhetoric by Opposition? The roots are from Liberal-rights Democracy ideology and propaganda from USA where populism, soft-options, endless welfare and no-consequences spending are front and centre.
This is so absurd two senior ministers rent a black and white 10 times the size of a football field , even bigger than the PM and say we are land constrained. But the more dangerous question we need to ask is , is there a term in the lease agreement which grants the tenants ownership of the property after certain amount of rent has been paid over years. If so what these two are doing is dubiously buying a very large estate disguised as rental currently
@@TerenceTHNg U forgot such men are self-appointed. What makes them more honest and trustworthy than PAP ministers with track record? Just because he self-declare and point finger, and blame loudly? I think you not paying any taxes yet and got a lot to learn about real life and liars.
Because he really blew his chances and gave many of the older generation a bad impression. For one, he backstabbed his mentor, Chiam, whom many people respect, then he flew over to the UK and asked the British to support him, then he did a lot of grandstanding and slander and got sued by the PAP when it used to be the Opposition suing the PAP. It's really so bad that sometimes I wonder if he is really a PAP plant out to damage the Opposition. When Chiam was the head of the SDP, it was the SDP suing the PAP. Now with Chee, it's the PAP suing the SDP and you wonder why we think he's a clown? Then he goes overseas and lies to their media that he is the head of the Opposition when it is the WP and get them to support him. You see how much of his support base is foreign? UK and foreign media. He's not a good choice, he is under too much foreign influence to be a safe bet for Singapore.

I have nothing but respect for Dr Chee’s endurance in his long race, but I cannot agree with his argument in principle for a simple reason: every Singaporean he appeals to with “they are so entitled” logic would probably do the same things with their means, had they the same means. That stems from a deep cultural agreement most Singaporeans have made with each other-more money, more house loh. The two ministers are overt targets because of the scale and publicity of the assets in question, but our culture as a whole endorses and esteems this exact sort of decision/attainment.
Singapore got nothing.Those bought properties will be doomed ! They are laughing all the way to the bank everyday, we are crying all the way to the bank !😂😂
Multi-generation homes? Pls lah no young person these days wants to live with their family. The whole reason u buy ur own flat is to finally move out from your family. Out of touch much. I expect more from the opposition than mud flinging and "make HDB bigger" as their policy. The land gonna come from where? I really appreciate your work in making sure the ruling party does not go unchecked. But you really gotta step up your game beyond this petty and small-minded rhetoric. There is truth that our MP and ministers are arrogant and entitled. But I have yet to see the opposition be the bigger people, instead it's always this bitter, lack-based, reactionary, populist rhetoric that shows me they don't really bring anything to the table to actually run our country.
Foreigners should not allowed to buy h d b units even if they are p r. H d b units only reserved for local born . All p r n non local born even half-way become citizen all must go buy condo .We don mind having smaller unit but the prices are few times higher than those big landed houses overseas. Small durian but the prices are same as D24.
It's not about renting bungalows, it's the rich & powerful may have the policies to benefit & favour them.. they won't break laws, laws on their side ,supermajority parliament right?..How come don't fix the bungalows to get better returns for the nation??.. is it bcos 'who 'can benefit??.. that is why orfinary s'poreans are perplexed bcos we hear gov need to increase GST from the helpless majority to cover.....
Goondu, ordinary singaporeans can rent those bungalows too. And only singaporeans can buy landed property GCB. The real issue is why YOU not capable of earning high salary and have to be jealous of pap ministers.
This previlage is prominent in retired PAPIES who are given CEO jobs and LHL says we will keep u working ("until you hv more sickness", so you can contribute another SGH)
@@albertng1949 No, LHL does not force you to keep on working. Govt does not allocate jobs to you. Why you got no talent to achieve in private sector, civil service, armed forces or open your own business? Everything cannot do well and can only point finger and blame govt? btw aren't you dependent on Opposition to give you a high paying job just because you vote them in?
We vote for the leaders/ministers to work and find solutions for people problems. Have you forgotten you are the public servants to serve the people? You have no moral authority to rule over the people because of injustice practice !
Opposition parties are also citizens. They and their families, children also have a stake in Singapore. Yet so many of them hv been sued, expelled, charged under this and that. This National Day, we want to give a special appreciation to thank all the opposition parties, for their courage, for boldly speaking out, for raising questions and providing alternative views.
Providing "alternative views" is not the same as delivering better outcomes. Views are just opinions and talk rhetoric. Only PAP politicians risk their reputation and incomes to deliver better for majority of singaporeans, not the Oppositions with their self-interest and personal revenge agenda.
@@scbchong6964 Hi, I used to be a pap supporter, but after watching parliamentary debates in the last couple of years, I began to sympathise with the opposition party MPs, and really appreciate them for their courage and for risking everything.
More than ever, I began to understand why we must not give the gov a blank cheque, because indeed they hv made mistakes that affected us, our children and our nation, eg raising GST during worsening inflation, and causing food, and services to become so expensive. So we really need the opposition parties to check and ask questions, just like we need to check the parachute before jumping off the helicopter.
I also hope both sides can devote more energy on important matters of the country, but fierce attacks on the opposition (eg Committee of Privileges and police investigations on Raeesah Khan case) will naturally invite fierce counterattacks, not only from the opposition parties, but also from commoners who began to sympathise with the latter.
And about ‘delivering better outcomes’, you can understand that only the gov can do the actual executing, implementing and delivering, because the opposition has no access 🚫 to the machinery of the Civil Service, and so, they can only speak up about their alternative views, and we have seen that they did propose many workable ideas.
I've to point out one thing. When Chee's old boss, Chiam was around, he was the one suing the PAP. So how is it now that when Chee is in charge, it's now the PAP suing him? Every time Chee makes one of his stupid mistakes, I really wonder if he is a PAP spy sent in to damage the opposition because I can't possibly imagine how you can sabo your own team so badly accidentally.
@@danielc2701 The opposition politicians hate the PAP for sure, but do they care and love Singapore and all singaporeans? Two separate issues, hor.
Opposition bears a grudge and vengeful against PAP, but can they deliver better? Or is it just personal agenda? Just because they are Opposition, they don't spew propaganda, lies, rhetoric and BS?
Opposition politicians behave holier-than-thou with too much self-interest, self-importance and fat ego. Just because someone blame loudly does not mean that person is an angel or a saint.
If you have worked long enough, you will know that those who complain and blame others the most, actually contribute the least and have bad attitude.

Thank you sir and I love you and respect makes from your heart this was my wish some will ask this question at last someone has the guts
Well done CSJ has raised some very relevant questions which nobody in Parluament has raised or answered. Now when Lee Hsien Yang raises some doubt about the 2 Ministers sincerity, he is now threatened with legal suits. Is this 2 Ministers so arrogant now that they can even threaten other Singaporeans who have raised further doubts about there sincerity in the whole matter ?
Is PAP becoming a CCP type government when it comes to silencing its critics ?
Hello, CCP is different la. Get yr head straightened out. Firstly, it isnt the US bogey man CCP, it is CPC la. Read up pls. 2ndly they have put back the UK Opium forced-fed Chinese Civilisation back on its glorious path since 5000 yrs ago, incl yr ah kong, lau cho kong and yourself - got it? PAP is different , an entitled bunch of power crazy & greedy " natural aristocrats" as they had called themselves who had inherited the good LKY gvt.
1st paragraph is ok; 2nd paraphrase shows you havent woken up from western brainwashing media, incl the CNA and ST.
Pap are a modern communist country , they have all the tools to silent any allegations against them and they will do what it takes to ensure that there is no transparency in pap
What relevant questions did CSJ raised? Put out your points here
@@firefly4326The relevant points are:
1. When the government did not allow multi-generational living but they do otherwise…no moral leadership
2. When the minister asked his secretary to pass him the SLA list for personal reasons…no professionalism
3. When the ministers’ wives (not the ministers) who commit to the rental contracts which (may intentionally or unintentionally)no shown their names…no transparency.
If they did not do anything wrong, why not just put their name on the dotted line and be transparent?
We need more opposition
Precisely.
Mr Chee expresses so well what we instinctively feel inside but don't have the so precise and accurate words which describes our suppressed feelings of unfairness. Wish you a miraculous success in the Quixote mission of your life.😊
Inequality government 😂
Moral leadership. Well stated. You've nailed it. IMO, the whole saga is stupid. The system is wrong and yet they use it and stated they follow the system and all are not wrong. The SLA head needs to drop.
The SLA should have maintained the houses instead of letting them rot.
What system wrong? Say it. What is moral leadership?
Agree Sagas are Stupid… Not be surprised if we soon have an Ong Beng Seng Hospital or similar to join ranks with Khoo Teck Phuat & Ng Teng Fong Hospitals … Our Government is Malfunctioning 😊
Moral leadership is when u can get a deputy secretary to do your bidding. Get extra land for no extra cost.
Where is the moral leadership of the ministers?
Please don't take us for granted and take us for a ride as if we are so naive about things that are happening around us. Some of us are still struggling to keep our head above the water with unemployment after the COVID pandemic and yet you ministers have the cheek to splurge yourselves with luxury of life just because you love and wanted to. LHL you have lost the moral compasses when you failed to discipline your ministers.
The reason they take us for granted is that they are those in the "us" that are strongly on their side.And that these people see the rest as an ungrateful lot who do not see the good done.
What Dr Chee is all facts and true
BB voters have much to lose for choosing an incompetent supposed to be lawyer, M over CSJ, a PhD n formerly a lecturer.
The truth hurts.
@@TerenceTHNg Yeah but Chee isn't the moral leadership we need either. He might talk nice but like when he saboed his mentor Chiam, if you got something he wants, he'll run you over too. So pot and kettle.

Did CPIB ask Balakrishnan's wife who she was visiting when she saw the for lease sign ?
U know I know lah.
This pappy garment is very mysterious, It makes me wonder what surprises they may spring on us next. Their sense of entitlement is so evident that there are no words to describe it, and we don't need any more pappy remarks to explain it away or sweep it under the rug. Their fishy bones are still lodged in everyone's throat, causing permanent scars.
What entitlement? Ridout bungalows ALL singaporeans can rent. Furthermore, only singaporeans can buy landed property GCB. Isn't that a privilege? It is only left to your talent and skills to earn a high wage to afford the things you desire in life. Ministers also never steal your 5-rm HDB and keep for themselves lah.
Ownself check ownself Government and the ministers have used this sentence openly. In other words, YES we admit to that and what can you do about it?
Well, Singapore is already down the drain. There is no point raising anything. Our ministers behave like mouse in front of large nation government officials whilst behaving like lords in front of Singaporeans.
If they behave like mice with bigger nations, we wld hv long been trampled over n lost our sovereignty n not be the city state with 1 of the biggest reserves in de world, attracting investors n bldg up.

Majority voters have, for nearly 60 years, given away the Powers that made us afraid of speaking up. Afraid of Pofma , afraid of speaking up boldly like a man
Also massive change is usually preceded by massive pain. Singaporeans by and large are born into comfort. The last generation in Singapore that truly suffered and had fight in them are also sadly now a rapidly thinning herd, as they die off…Every generation after that was born into spectacular progress and comfort (some luxury). In general our struggles are mostly what you would call 1st world problems. The “pain” we go through is not enough for us to effect change and to do whatever it takes to make ourselves heard. Those that govern us know this and so adjust their will on us while subjugating our voice just within the threshold of our collective tolerance.

So the disappointment we feel is that, instead of admitting its shortcomings and assuring us that they will do some reviews, SLA arrogantly defended itself, projecting an image of 'I know better than u', arrogance & elitism.

True. You give excuses of land constraints to give us bird cages with high prices but you give excuses to live in big houses. Just think for themselves and not others. No compassion
Totally agree with you Dr Chee . Please win the next election at Bukit Batok . We are voting for you
He is needed as MP to voice concerns in Parliament.
At least be a Nominated MP dude…
Campaign harder bruth😮😮😮
The only right thing to do is apologise n terminate the lease. Apologise for insensitivity to the residents
What if Opposition ban YOU from buying nice condo if you are working in civil service or armed forces/Police? You still stupidly vote for Opposition?
He might exploit his own law cleverly, but in the eyes of the people, he is seen to be morally and ethically corrupt, bereft of the ideals of serving the nation. A greedy man who isn't satisfied with the humongous salary. Will he return the 150, 000 sf of gifted state land?
Humongous salary…..pales in comparison to the corruption in our neighbours n the perks received in other countries. Many professionals n entrepreneurs n utubers r earning same if not more n not hv to put their lives on the line for thankless public service that is constantly judged. N oh, his previous occupation earns him much more than being a politician n i dare say a less painful job.

@@Buttercookies0 hv you been inside a black n white in its raw state?
The issue is not with them living in big houses. They earn a good salary and they are entitled to live in a big house, if they so wish to. The main issue is that they are paying below market rent for these properties.
Not forgetting the WP not doing their best to question the MA and Valuer . WP is complicit
@@LonganLeeI personally think renting it out even below market value is ok, if its not rented the state gets nothing, no income. But to me the issue is IF they are making a profit of renting out their own GCBs and their family members. And secondly the point of why it is under their wives names raises concerns. And lastly if the SLA pays so much in repairs and refurbishment to the other black and white houses before it is leased out.
Black n whites r legacy from colonial times. They r old. Just count the age. Much cost is needed to sustain them not unlike gazetted preserved shophouses. Structures are better preserved in use n maintained. Decay and dilapidation sets in quickly otherwise. A landlord is obliged to lease out spaces that are tenable. And tenants have to do a lot more to furbish these old places.
Why is it wrong for those who lease out their own properties while renting their own accommodation? Many sgreans are pty investors n r doing same. Its in their wives names to lessen inquisitive sleuthing?
If u cant comprehend what is recorded and reported, run a check with URA for rental property transactions. Free service.

Overlooked by voters. He would make a good opposition to voice concerns in Parliament.

No it's not. You overlooked a lot of his wrongdoings like backstabbing his mentor Chiam and flying over to the UK and asking the British to support his election.

Dr Chee Soon Juan is getting more mature by the day with his sensible debate on the 2 Pap senior ministers enjoying their luxurious life like a king what a shame even our late mentor minister Lee Kuan Yew does not have this privilege. I think they should apply for the elected president position.,
PAP Minister enjoy "luxurious" life? Can you tolerate clowns like yourself throwing slander and false accusations every day just because of jealousy and envy? PAP politician is thankless job because of good-for-nothing, CB mouth Opposition supporters.
It's quite intriguing to witness a politician who has encountered multiple legal convictions touting the concept of moral leadership. Yet, this paradoxical stance has inspired me to shape my own interpretation of moral leadership:
1. Moral leadership invites self-reflection. It encourages examining reasons why the party carrying a moral compass had never been voted into Parliament for decades ever since the shifts in leadership.
2. True moral leadership requires a steadfast commitment to upholding the law, even in the face of political agendas. It's about prioritizing the collective good over personal gain and setting an example of integrity.
3. Authentic moral leadership is rooted in transparency and honesty, refraining from the temptation to spread misinformation or falsehoods for the sake of political mileage. It's an embodiment of ethical principles, even within the realm of free expression.
4. Genuine moral leadership understands that freedom of expression is accompanied by responsibilities. Balancing the right to speak with the need to protect the rights of others, national security, and public order is an essential aspect of this leadership.
5. At its core, moral leadership champions equal opportunities for all and freedom of choice in housing with distinctive lifestyle regardless of their social or economic status. It champions the right to aspire and achieve within the boundaries of the law, fostering a society where freedom is embraced responsibly.
Isn't it Politics of Envy rhetoric by Opposition? The roots are from Liberal-rights Democracy ideology and propaganda from USA where populism, soft-options, endless welfare and no-consequences spending are front and centre.
Just VTO PAP !
I am more interested in Iswaran case than the scandals.
Chee must be elected to parliament in the next ge.
What if after elected, Chee ban YOU from buying nice condo if you work in civil service, teaching or armed forces/Police?
This is so absurd two senior ministers rent a black and white 10 times the size of a football field , even bigger than the PM and say we are land constrained. But the more dangerous question we need to ask is , is there a term in the lease agreement which grants the tenants ownership of the property after certain amount of rent has been paid over years. If so what these two are doing is dubiously buying a very large estate disguised as rental currently
Such important speech pls ensure the sound recording be done properly so that more sporeans can hear Dr Chee Speech !
Why won't people vote for this guy seriously, he and Paul Tambyah should be given a chance, even for just one term, how difficult is that to do?
Because taxpayers do not want to waste money on clowns. You probably don't pay any taxes yet, right? Spend other citizens' taxes very easy, hor.
Such courageous men are needed as MPs in Parliament as check and balance. Oneself cannot check ownself.
@@TerenceTHNg U forgot such men are self-appointed. What makes them more honest and trustworthy than PAP ministers with track record? Just because he self-declare and point finger, and blame loudly? I think you not paying any taxes yet and got a lot to learn about real life and liars.
Because he really blew his chances and gave many of the older generation a bad impression. For one, he backstabbed his mentor, Chiam, whom many people respect, then he flew over to the UK and asked the British to support him, then he did a lot of grandstanding and slander and got sued by the PAP when it used to be the Opposition suing the PAP. It's really so bad that sometimes I wonder if he is really a PAP plant out to damage the Opposition.
When Chiam was the head of the SDP, it was the SDP suing the PAP. Now with Chee, it's the PAP suing the SDP and you wonder why we think he's a clown? Then he goes overseas and lies to their media that he is the head of the Opposition when it is the WP and get them to support him. You see how much of his support base is foreign? UK and foreign media. He's not a good choice, he is under too much foreign influence to be a safe bet for Singapore.
Vote them in to beef out the opposition voices in Parliament.
In most countries including our immediate neighbours politicians dont rent, they outright "buy and own" such house. And typically not just one house but a few in their country and a few overseas as well
I don't understand why Singaporean find CSJ not suitable to be in Parliament. Singaporeans complaint loads but when it's time for positive action, they become scary cats. What a shame.
They r out to destroy SG,
They love to live not just white and black house. They love mansions the size of istana..
halimah wanted to continue living in her hdb. It became a default tourist attraction and a problem for security.
CSJ is at it again. I admire the man really..but when is he going to rise and move beyond petty abd populist agendas and start to share meaningful insights and his vision for a better government and Singapore? I would vote for this guy really if he could just show us what he'd do if elected into government.
He did. Pls watch his papers, speeches n interviews of the past years.

WP did a lousy Job by not asking them to prove every thing they claim. The most weird thing is the defence relied heavily on Valuer and Managing agent's words and WP is so lousy they did not demand the Valuer and MA be questioned and investigated too. Singapore is pathetic
There's limitations to the questions they can ask was because of CPIB, otherwise they'll risk insinuating that CPIB wasn't doing a proper job which is very dangerous path. That is why they can only attack the nuances of conflicts of interest.
@@lucretius8050 But a True Loyal Opposition will not be like this. Agree? You are citing an excuse or reason that explains their lousy performance. This is not useful to defend WP. It only says how bad they are. According to your logic, everything cpib says MP cannot challenge or question. Then might as well just abolish democracy and be a China? A real MP has powers to question even the Constitution.
@@LonganLeewhy you mentioned China here ? You losing ground in your arguments ? China leadership is way much much better than anywhere in the world. China's leaders are working for the people.
For corruption case, Shanmugam has already proven enough in Parliament.

SG is a prime example of capitalism in the sense it favours those with capital (high cashflow to do things).
It will then lead to a much wider gap between the poor and the rich.
Capitalism is just a glorification of Selfishness
Time to send him into Parliament to question them. Haiz😂
What if a goondu sporean say, "aiya, we must ensure we die already also never know the Reserves. Ensure no sporean knows Forever"?
We call him DAFT
I have nothing but respect for Dr Chee’s endurance in his long race, but I cannot agree with his argument in principle for a simple reason: every Singaporean he appeals to with “they are so entitled” logic would probably do the same things with their means, had they the same means. That stems from a deep cultural agreement most Singaporeans have made with each other-more money, more house loh. The two ministers are overt targets because of the scale and publicity of the assets in question, but our culture as a whole endorses and esteems this exact sort of decision/attainment.
Singapore got nothing.Those bought properties will be doomed ! They are laughing all the way to the bank everyday, we are crying all the way to the bank !😂😂
Multi-generation homes? Pls lah no young person these days wants to live with their family. The whole reason u buy ur own flat is to finally move out from your family. Out of touch much. I expect more from the opposition than mud flinging and "make HDB bigger" as their policy. The land gonna come from where?
I really appreciate your work in making sure the ruling party does not go unchecked. But you really gotta step up your game beyond this petty and small-minded rhetoric. There is truth that our MP and ministers are arrogant and entitled. But I have yet to see the opposition be the bigger people, instead it's always this bitter, lack-based, reactionary, populist rhetoric that shows me they don't really bring anything to the table to actually run our country.
He also like to change spouses. That is according to his expose lifestyle.
Clean corruption
