Congrats from Honolulu,Hawaii
Back in 2015, Stephen Sackur, the HARDtalk maestro himself, sat across from Mr. Tharman, who, at the time, was Singapore’s Deputy Prime Minister, but little did Sackur know, Tharman was basically auditioning for future Singaporean presidency. Sackur asked him the million-dollar question: “How did Singapore go from fishing village to an economic superpower in just one generation, while still being so authoritarian?”
And Tharman, cool as a cucumber, was like, “Well Stephen, Singapore’s a bit like your Wi-Fi-it’s constantly evolving, updating policies faster than you can say ‘lag’! Nothing’s set in stone here, mate. If something’s not working, we’ll just tweak it until it does. Policies aren’t written in blood, they’re written in pencil with a big eraser.”
So when PJ popped up and said, “Hey, Singapore’s always changing its policies,” Tharman probably just chuckled and said, “Yeah, and? What’s wrong with that? Evolution’s the name of the game, PJ!”
Boom. Mic drop. Singapore-style. 0:01
Sooo long never see u sir / scholar
This has really been long awaited Dr Thum.
Keep on going ✌️
Yo PJ please refrain from expressing opinions that could be construed as accusations against the garmen for the sake of sustainability in your youtube channel.
However, do continue to engage in producing content that subtly addresses and expose the often-muted controversies...... these are precious information and knowledge to awaken us all and to see the almighty and powerful's hidden intents of re-educating us with the "See no evil, hear no evil, do no evil" mindset.
Yo PJ please don't self-censor yourself as this person suggests, keep up the great work!
@@ghastly4360 Well.... its ballsy to not censor in accordance to sg lawls ngl lol... But really gona miss all these golden content if it blows out.... But damn... its affecting me also... even when I want to comment or give strong opinions, I have to think twice out of fear of getting arrested or POFMA-ed/FICA-ed lol... props to yall for being so ballsy..
Coercive control leads to fear and fear leads to more coercive control.
LKY is no longer around, the govt will change.
I was just wondering when Season 2 would be out....haha😅
Are the jeans from Levis? Or Giordano?
He said YES to all his supervisors to get to the current position.
So how can he be different?
Go and tell all his ex-bosses that they were wrong?
Ha ha ha!
Dr Thum, why it gained traction was because of "religion" specifically Islam
HELLO TALK AND TALK IS USELESS SINGAPORE SUPPORT AND FRIENDS TO ALL COUNTRIES BUT NEVER TO SINGAPOREAN OPPOSITIONS. 🙈🙈🙈
u r out again at the right time from?...
PJ put on weights 😂
lost me at the identity politics. stick to the facts. there is plenty to criticise
Is this guy paid by the western powers to host such programs.. this island is so much better of than most countries in the world, include the western ones, which is on the downhill. Just look at the debates between Trump and Harris, it looks so stupid that voters can decide based on a televised debate. So is this fellow pitching for western style politics. Singaporeans got to be extremely careful, while u will not get the best systems, but you are one of the most fortunate to be run by the existing party. No short of examples in this region and the world. This guys should also do a similar one on other countries and I'm interested to see his perspectives. Else, he is just another RUclipsr seeking for more subscribers.
Whataboutism? Because other countries are worse off than us then we cannot strive for any improvement and keep our mouths shut? Its mentally challenged people like you that dictators stay in power.
Why didn't you announce your pronouns and outfit before the start of video?! We are offended 😡
