These are the views of the leaders that Singaporeans have elected
into power.....
--------------------------------
Retrenchment is good for singapore. If there is no
retrenchments, then I worry. - SM Goh
I dont think that there should be a cap on the number of
directorship that a person can hold. - PAP MP John Chen who holds
8 directorships.
Its not for the money because some of the companies pay me as
little as $10,000 a year. - PAP MP Wang Kai Yuen who holds 11
directorships.
If you want to dance on a bar top, some of us will fall off the
bar Top. Some people will die as a result of liberalising bar top
dancing
a young girl with a short skirt dancing on it may attract
some insults from some other men, the boyfriend will start fighting
and some people will die. - Vivian Balakrishnan, Minister for
Community Development, Youth and Sports
I would want to form an alternative policies group in Parliament,
comprising 20 PAP MPs. These 20 PAP MPs will be free to vote in
accordance with what they think of a particular policy. In other
words, the whip for them will be lifted. This is not playing
politics, this is something which I think is worthwhile doing. -
SM Goh
If you sing Jailhouse Rock with your electric guitar when others
are playing Beethoven, you are out of order. The whip must be used
on you. - SM Goh again, on a dramatic u-turn, rethink or
backtrack, whatever you call it.
Save on one hairdo and use the money for [email protected]
screening. - another gem from Lim Hng Kiang
We started off with (the name) and after looking at everything,
the name that really tugged at the heartstrings was in front of us.
The name itself is not new, but what has been used informally so
far has endeared itself to all parties. - Mah Bow Tan on the
$400,000 exercise to rename Marina Bay as Marina Bay.
Having enjoyed football as a national sport for decades, we in
Singapore have set ourselves the target of reaching the final
rounds of World Cup in 2010. - Ho Peng Kee
Only 5% are unemployed. We still have 95% who are employed. - Yeo
Cheow Tong
Singaporean workers have become more expensive than those in the
USA and Australia. - Tony Tan
People support CPF cuts because there are no protest
outside parliament. - PM Lee
No, it was not a U-turn, and neither was it a reversal of
government policy. But you can call it a rethink. - Yeo
Cheow Tong
I regret making the decision because, in the end, the baby
continued to be in intensive care, and KKH now runs up a total bill
of more than $300,000
- Lim Hng Kiang, regretting the decision to
save a babys life because KKH ran up a $300,000 bill
Without the elected president and if there is a freak
result, within two or three years, the army would have to come in
and stop it. - MM Lee Kuan Yew
Please do not assume that you can change governments. Young people
dont understand this - Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew, post-2006
General Elections
