Further drain on public funds. For a small country like Singapore, firstly why is there a need for 80+ MPs. Secondly if these MPs are not competent that they need the support of ministers of state and a whole plethora of civil servants then they should not be in the post. It is a complete waste of public funds. That is probably the only reason for the need to keep raising the GST, the ERP, tax on utilities, on petrol etc etc. Thus continuously raising the cost of living.
How do i join them? Do u know?
next coming election, there might be more
Fun fact: Microsoft which is not a country has 220,000 plus workers worldwide.
The same murali who puts words into other's mouth and refuses to apologise??
“Not only do PAP MPs work part-time, they use residents’ money to outsource to managing agents the work they are supposed to do. Managing agents are private, profit-making agencies. They add another layer of expenses for residents,” Dr Chee said.
martin pls read my comment. dont split opposition votes u ib spy. support rdu
We must not allow liars and cheats like the Democratic Party in Singapore to form the next government because their policies only look good on paper. Mr Chiam once said that a good and effective opposition should not go around the world denoncing Singaporean. we need red dot united, not the sdp.
“Your day job requires you to deal with problems in the office - in Mr Murali’s case, matters regarding his legal practice - that are psychologically and emotionally taxing. You are mentally tired after 10 hrs at work. No individual can extend their full attention and tend to the people’s business after that.”

@martinmisty866 What about the Opposition MPs who have full time jobs eg Pritam Singh, Jamus Lim etc. Are they not mentally tired? Can they extend their full attention and tend to the people's buisness after that. Appreciate a honest and truthful answer. NO LIES PLEASE. Opposition supporters should not LIE.
PM Lee’s claims are not entirely true because the opposition parties, especially the (SDP), have proposed alternative policies

@martinarchie2902 The forum reply from HDB said it offered a wide range of flats from two-room flexi flats to three generation flats in various locations to cater to the different housing needs and budgets of first time families, second timer families, the elderly and singles.
useless alternatives ya?...
SDP has released policy papers on several issues such as Healthcare and Housing

@martinarchie 2902 Under the correction direction by the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (POFMA) office, the notices will have to state that the video posted on Feb 17 contains a false statement of fact and provide a link to the Govt's clarification to allow viewers to consider both versions and draw their own conclusions.
they released some toilet papers as well...
Chee Soon Juan said: “This unfortunate description gives us an insight into his thinking - that an MP’s role is only a part-time gig.”

@martinmisty866 No, we are not preventing competition. What we are preventing is Duds getting into Parliament. Any person of quality, we welcome them but we don't want Duds. We don't want Chee Soon Juan or JB Jeyaretnam. They are not going to build the country. LKY
Why you need two DPM, when one is good for nothing as he has resigned as PM last time, so do you think he should continue as DPM, and why we need two DPM, the government too rich and the money no way to spend?
ppl like, ppl song...an zua...
I thought due to age the former DPM didn't take the PM post but now another more older one n what if he too declined with the same excuse I thought DPM is groom to be the next PM ?
LW made many promises to his peers and broke most in a single Cabinet reshuffle. Factions within the PAP, who were betrayed by LW, should gather support and challenge LW's new appointment as PM. KS, CCS, OYK, JT, CHT, etc should rally support from PAP MPs and call for a motion of no confidence on LW immediately after the swearing in ceremony. It would be another 20 years before anyone else has a chance at the top job if LW succeeds. I'm sure many PAP MPs want the top job.
It was also argued that the PAP’s policies have failed or have been shortsighted, as indeed Mr Lee himself admitted during and after the 2011 general election.

I like to see more guitarists in this new lineup 🙏
The first creditable things to do is to rescind and claar all charges on Lee Hsin Yang and his wife and brings them safetly back to Singapore.
why do we have mayor's when we have mps I don't understand 😕
Renew himself also
Yup. No need botox to look young😂.
Isn't it time exceeded? Spring cleaning list - Black Dog, YOG spendthrift, Tin Pan Alley, Disgraceful, Smack Desk PLP, Idiot Chan, Eggmy.
Gagi up but not mine 😂
It is the decline of which I've reiterated in several of my comments regarding the state of politics in Singapore. With 12 years of experience in the polictical arena he is not a appropriate candidate as a PM. He entered the polictical world when he was 40 and now he is 52. The 1st 5 years he did grass roots work and after that he was plunged in to some important positions in the parliament and mind you he was not even the 1st choice candidate for the PM position. With this resume he is expected to run the country with perfection and bring it to the next level. Do you think he has the capability to do it ? That is why PAP is doing all the propaganda regarding his character and capabilitys. The leat 3 PM doesn't need any of these as we all know what is their forte. Sorry to say that before the announcement of him being the next PM I dont even know him. Can he handle the geopolitics that is becoming a danger to SEA. Look like he will be a total failure. I've been through the last PM and our predecessors are way much better than him.
like u...with all ur hypothesis...sigh...pls cont caressing ur keyboard cuz that's ur life.
Now I have the guts to walk up. Waiting
You seem to be an expert political analyst. The easiest way to make sure that LW does not stay as PM for a long time is for you to join an opposition party and contest the coming elections. Win the elections with a strong majority, and become the PM yourself. This way you can ensure that he does not become the PM after the elections. Just my two cents worth. No offence meant.
I'm no political expert analyst, like what I've mentioned earlier every lay man in the coffee shop knows about these political views so that means all of them can contest in the elections. As for myself I definitely can't do it alone cos u need to win by majority even if I win in my own constituency as a independent candidate it is still not sufficient topple him. So I need to set up a opposition party to contest him. If u are willing to be my partner to do it then it will be a good idea as your suggestion sounds good but I sincerely appreciate that u can do more leg work in the coming elections cos I'm quite old already. It will be very taxing for me. Just a suggestion for political enthusiast. No offence. Thank you
@@BlossomChan-ip1tq But you sound like a professional political analyst. Anyway the coffee shop layman knows next to nothing. All they do is gossip and spread rumours. So if you can't do it, then we have to accept that LW will be the PM for the foreseeable future. No one knows what the future brings. Maybe, just maybe LW could be a very credible PM based on the way he handled the Covid together with Mr. Gan. As for me, I have zero interest in politics and as long as the country is doing all right is enough for me. Majulah Singapura.
Condescending tone of lawrence wong
What do you expect of this 🤡🤠?
The sinister branch
muralis appointment is so well deserved. he always speaks up, not about hot button issues, but grassroots issues that affect the every day working man. he’s so well connected to the ground
PAP always spoken the truth.
🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑 is more like it. NOT for the people.
Whatever the lineup, the PAP will always be the only competent and responsible party in s'pore.❤❤
All the line up March to 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑.
