Survey on PM Lee

last SG · 2007-07-05T21:23:42+00:00

I wonder if local should take part in a poll on how good their govt is like in other countries?

soul_rage SG

getting a degree = intelligent???

I know of many straight As or top student in university that can't make it in working life.

Sorry, to me, having a degree only proves that a person is good at studying that's all.

Let me quote you a case where I think its a proof of stupidity
When he was forced to hold GST back by 1% (he wanted to hike the GST from 3% to 5%, but was forced to hike it up to 4% first, then 5% later), he made comments about holding back the GST, and saying that its only a psychological effect that people are so uptight about the GST increase (its only a few cents, he means)

Do you know that in retail, its ALL ABOUT psychology? Marketing Ads, publicity stunts, are all meant to work on differentiating goods from one another, and in most cases, are more about psychology than about truth.

As a Finance Minister then, I could not believe he made that statement (its just psychological), it shows how much he does not know about the economy...

Well, yea double masters in maths, good at 1 + 1 = 2, so what?

dragg SG

same thing.

making it in working life = intelligent?

soul_rage SG

depends on how you look at it. If money is the measure of success in this world, then yes, making it in working life leading to loads of money => intelligent in other people's eyes.

If happiness is the measure of success in this world, then making it in working life by working 24 hours a day 365 days a year, and result in unhappiness => stupidity

dakkon_blackblade SG

Well, he has certainly lost quite a bit of the moral authority to lead through his "mee siam mai hum" gaffe and unpopular policies such as the GST hike and ministerial pay rise.

However, as a leader he is still very much unproven. He has inherited quite a smooth-running system from his predecessors and has yet to really meet up with a serious crisis. In my opinion, crisis-handling is one of the hallmarks of whether a person is a good leader or not. Hence, it may be a genuine concern whether LHL would be capable of leading the country through a major crisis and emerge with credit.

holygoh SG

MM say A, LHL cannot say B. If LHL wan to say B, must check with SM if make sure he is ok with B

Tell everyone to tighten belt, turn around and raise his own salary. also need to use OUR money to attract people to work for him if not no one want to work for him

Say everyone's opinion is important, and promise to make our country open and inclusive. People complain, ask us to shut up.

80% of singaporeans' salary never go up much in the last 10 yrs, but he let everything else price increase, some more join in the bandwagon by upping GST to 7%

YOU SAY WHAT I THINK OF HIS PERFORMANCE?

ShutterBug SG

There's one Hokkien phrase people always use on people like him:

"Kana Sai!"

carrotsoup SG

Awh....come on, at least we can look forward to his speeches.
Theres not much stand up comedian act in Singapore.

soul_rage SG

That I agree, at least he serves a comical purpose

though its quite an expensive comical role (3million per year)

LazerLordz SG

He's the most highly paid figurehead. Mad

will4 SG

Spore economy is mainly dependent on US eonomy n provided there is no external shock like the Asian financial crisis.

will4 SG

I wonder on this year's national day rally speech, he will feel happy cause the economy is doing well n local are assumed to be happy due to buoyant economy.

ShutterBug SG

But he still can't beat Seinfeld...

Laughing

ShutterBug SG

You know, LHL, you are so Super Rich... well connected internationally, talented in many ways....well versed in economics and commerce, WHY don't you just go and be a successful businessman somewhere else and stop TORTURING uss all here by trying to lead us?

Please, you are wasting your talents torturing us here in Singapore when you can make so much more all to yourself... and no one will protest or object when you raise your salary....

Go.. leave us be, we'll find our own way, and besides, there are so many waiting to take over when you leave...

Mr. Green

will4 SG

Since he came to assume the leadership, the Thai Shin corp matter is the bigest blow to Spore causing the price to reduce by half.

zix1 SG

He did well in his study. But he is not intelligent as a PM. how long more must we wait for him to step down. At the rate he is going, how to trust him to give us a bright, good future. So much of money talk since he becomes the PM. $$$$$ or the interest of the nation?

zix1 SG

Sylvia has more substance than LHL. Does LHL has any substance? At least, she is people oriented.

ShutterBug SG

Currently, NO ONE in PAP has the qualities of Sylvia...

Not a single one of them are Peopl Oriented, or People Centric...

PAP is all about the economy, revenues, self-preserving policies, and money for themselves...

zix1 SG

Good in maths does not mean one will be a good finance minister. He is living in his own world lah, look at the way he runs the country!

Have not suffered before, can't reach down to the level of the common people, display more interest in making lots of money than take good care of the nation. Really, how how to trust him to lead Singapore!

zix1 SG

he is enjoying the fruit of the labour of his predecessor. Perhaps, it is high time he show us his capability and prove that he deserves to be the PM .

ShutterBug SG

I think at home, he plays The Sims and Sim City a lot....
