He never viewed Singaporeans as
the same kind as him, which is why he keeps on calling for
Singaporeans to stay united when he is the one feeling he is not
the same as Singaporeans. Singaporeans are already united but he
still keep thinking that they are not united because he is the one
having the problem, not recognizing that Singaporeans are the same
kind as him. He is the one dividing the people. He feels so
insecure with Singaporeans, that he has to keep on calling for
“Singapore United”, when the problem lies in him. Why is he having
this problem? Because he wants to cling on to power, he wants to
cling on to the wealth he stole from Singaporeans, he wants to
cling on to his Dynasty which he can pass down to his descendents,
and the only way to do that is to divide the people, bring in large
amounts of foreign workers to marginalize Singaporeans, to ruin the
lives of Singaporeans so that he can stay in power.
He brings in excessive amounts
of foreign workers to replace Singaporeans and to make Singaporeans
jobless. And in such an economic crisis, all he can come up with a
solution is to build a casino. He wants
to make Singapore into a Casino City. He wants to make Singaporeans
become gamblers, he wants to ruin their lives, he wants to make the
children suffer. He doesn’t mind if a casino in a city state will
create a lot of social problems to Singaporeans because he views
Singaporeans are not the same kind as him and so it is not his
problem. All he can think of is "Casino, Casino, Casino, Casino"
for Singapore, he cannot get it off his mind, he really has a sick
mind there.
What Singapore needs now is a
Real Singaporean Leader to lead Singaporeans in times of crisis and
prosperity.
Lee Hsien Loong should step
down from the role as Prime Minister of Singapore.

Singapore
United the
way to go
PM Lee calls on
Singaporeans to work together to find solutions to the
crisis
The 'Singapore United' way was how
the country could achieve the best possible outcome for both
workers and businesses, and emerge stronger in the longer term, he
said.
'If we handle this well, we will
pull through and emerge with stronger trust for each other, as we
have done many times before,' he added.
He was speaking at the 50th
anniversary celebration of the Singapore Manual and Mercantile
Workers' Union (SMMWU), the biggest union here, and one of the
oldest.
It has 240 branches and 85,000
members, from sectors like retail, food manufacturing and
logistics.
Mr Lee noted that in many
countries, people were getting worried and frustrated about their
jobs, and many looked for someone to blame. As a result, they
lashed out at governments, foreign workers and
immigrants.
'The country becomes divided,
people react emotionally, and problems become harder to solve,' he
said, noting that in France, three million people protested against
President Nicolas Sarkozy a few days ago.
But these protesters offered no
alternative plans, he pointed out. 'After the anger, the letting
off of steam, France is no nearer a solution to the
crisis.'
Commenting on the Group of 20
summit which will take place this week in London, he said he hoped
G-20 leaders would commit to upholding free trade and reach a
mutual understanding that protectionist policies at home would
simply result in them 'acting at cross purposes' and making things
'worse for all'.
Singapore has no control over its external
environment and must 'make the best of what we have', he
said.
This was why 'we must make the
extra effort to stay united...think through our problems calmly and
rationally, and work together to overcome this challenge', he
said.
Unions such as SMMWU - which he
described as a key asset in Singapore's tripartite partnership -
have important responsibilities in this downturn, he
stressed.
The union should continue to work
with companies to stave off job losses - for example, by
encouraging more companies to tap on the Skills Programme for
Upgrading and Resilience (Spur), a $600 million
government-sponsored training programme.
Spur currently has 735 companies
committing some 38,000 workers for training, which the Government
heavily subsidises.
The union can also help retrenched
workers by encouraging them to go for retraining and to take up
available jobs, Mr Lee said.
SMMWU secretary-general John De
Payva announced last night that the union had raised some $500,000
to help needy union workers and their families.
The money came from last night's
dinner proceeds, donations and the launch of its 50th anniversary
book, which chronicles the struggles of the
SMMWU.
In his speech, PM Lee noted how
cooperation between the Government, unions and businesses has been
a key advantage for Singapore as it tries to pull through this
downturn.
The Government has also taken
decisive measures to respond to the crisis, he noted, such as
putting in place programmes like Spur and the $20.5 billion
Resilience Package.
Despite the gloom, there are still
bright spots in the economy.
The Employment and Employability
Institute, which tries to match jobs and workers, still has some
13,000 job openings, half of them in the service sector, Mr Lee
noted. 'Workers should take full advantage of these opportunities,'
he urged.
PM: Use downturn to raise service
quality
The current downturn is
an opportunity to improve Singapore's service quality, said Prime
Minister Lee Hsien Loong last night.
Addressing an issue that is often
the subject of public lament, he noted that workers are now taking
training and upgrading more seriously because of the
downturn.
A culture of service will be
especially critical if the integrated resorts (IRs) - which will
open by next year - are to succeed, he said.
Recalling his visit to the Las
Vegas casinos, Mr Lee noted how he was told that the casino
experience is like 'theatre'.
'People go there to enjoy
themselves. They want smiling faces, good service, and to be well
taken care of. They go happy and come back happy. Even if their
wallet is a bit lighter, they are happy to come again,' he
said.
He also noted how Hong Kong
previously had a reputation for being efficient, but not for its
service.
But that changed after the 1997
Asian financial crisis. Mr Lee said:
'They changed their attitudes, they
became responsive and were willing to go the extra mile, and to
stay open late if you want to shop late.'
Singapore should follow suit and change
attitudes and mindsets.
This, he stressed, was a job not
just for the IRs, but anywhere customer service is
involved.
