The Chinese has a saying, "Do not let fat (fertile) water flow into other people's land." Same here.....since there are money to be scooped, and easily doe...

need mm,sm for what?
does pm needs backbone?

If for 20 years Singapore still could not restructure the economy to a knowledge-based technology-application model and ministers do not even dare or have confidence to put up and implement a new master plan to improve over the one done by Goh Keng Swee and Dr. Winsemius what does it mean?

It means that there is no one really in charge of restructuring or upgrading the economy.

That also means that the past policies of promoting only the elites and academics can no longer work?

Has MM Lee and SM Goh any special or new solutions during these past twenty years when we see a domestic sector weakening with time and suffering from stagnation or stalemate as compared with countries like Korea or Finland ?

If they do not have any new solutions except to keep promoting their own kind of academic talents, then PM Lee does not have good advice or help?

If is better that he be his own man as he cannot continue to hope that the academic will add more values after failing to do so for past 20 years.

They’re just there to get paid only…I was just wondering what duties actually comes with their portfolios…

Joe Black SG

Only in Singapore, you get an ex-Prime minister creating new positions for himself – not once but twice. SM, MM, what M next?

Trump_Card SG

MM lee is the puppet master of PM LEE

i still prefer SM goh, at least, he is righteous and he do care about singaporean

UNLIKE THAT PM LEE

oh, what to do!

Arapahoe SG

i don't care much for both...maybe Goh is street smarter.

soul_rage SG

Actually I think SM Goh has been corrupted.
I met him and seen him twice personally in my life. Once, when he was fighting the Eunos election, back then, he looked so amicable, and friendly, and even wished us happy new year (we were NSFs helping with the 1 Jan elections). I liked him then

Not anymore.

During the recent elections, saw him at Potong Pasir, behave like the Lees, arrogant, conceited, walks in front of the actual PAP member fighting with Chiam See Tong, makes that PAP member look stupid and like a dog following him.

We lost all respect of him after that.

Anyway, I think the next position MM Lee should take up is EM Lee.

Neutral Why do we need 3 high ranking govt servent doing the same things?

My maximum allowance is 1 main and 1 adviser.

the Bear SG

they are NOT gabrament servants! Mad

how many times does this have to be said?

you have been fooled by them who have intentionally blurred the lines until people like you are fooled!!

gabrament servants = civil servants = working hacks...

btw, since civil servants are efficient and honest (and goodness knows they are), then why the hell do they have to pay themselves so much and why are there so many of them to do the job?

to which, i can only extrapolate and come to this conclusion.. the ones really high up who need so many people and have to be paid so much to ensure that they are "not corrupt" are in fact, inefficient and corrupt

Currently, how many billions were invested in Russia, Bangolore, Global Crossing, Thailand, Shin Corp, Optus.

How much are the current values of these investments left?

If these monies were invested in starting up new technologies and infrastructures locally, will we not be able to maximise the use of our resources to benefit our citizens more?

Will we not create many more jobs for our highly educated unemployed retrenched since the last recessions. Must we still be so over-dependent like today on foreigners offering them so many benefits as if they are better talented than our poly graduates or ITE graduates still searching for jobs.

These foreigners might not even bother to stay upon being offered citizenship because they can see through the hypocrisy of our own government and not fooled looking at the way government is treating its own citizens.

MamaRos SG

I have been wondering why MM Lee has not been appointed President leh... at the very least, he will meet President Bush on the same footing mah...

I don't think other big countries understand what MM and SM are. They probably will remember MMLee as the 1st Prime Minister and SMGoh as the 2nd Prime Minister.

If there is a Minister or ex Minister who deserves to get a residual income, it is MM Lee.

In other countries once a PM steps down, he really steps down and has no more power over the government.
