New broom and sweep well

The 4-G leadership had never captured the imagination of the Singapore public. But Lawrence Wong, as vice-chairman of the ministerial task force to combat Covid 19 epidemic, had shown he was a cut above the others in his group in his performance. So it did not really come as a surprise when he was abnointed the leader of 4-G and eventually to succeed Lee Hsien Loong as the 4th prime minister.of Singapore.

After becoming leader of the 4-G he went round preaching his political philosophy of how he was going to bring Singapore forward when he became prime minister. I think tt went down well with the public, only that seemed to have a big mouth and rants like a Maoist priest chantng to the devils. But he scored his marks and was sworn in as a prime minister before a mammoth audience and made the most significant inauguration speech to the delight of the audience which Lee Hsien Loong may take to heart. PM Lawrence Wong had shown that he was not all that disoriented in his first days of office which shows that he has great promises in his in his role as prime minister of Singapore. We can only see this when Singapore is in crisis and PM Lawrence Wong can show that he has competent ability to overcome the crisis not by playing guitar.

Lee Hsien Loong seems to be fitting nicely into his new role as senior minister. Although it is a relegation but he does not show it .But how useful he can be as an SM will only be known after he has shown his competence, if any. Senior minister is really a sinecure drawing a substantial salary. SM Teo Chee Hean, with due respect, is a typical example. Most of the time he is semi-nivisioble, maybe on some clandestine operation. Occasionally he comes out to utter some crap like the recent diarrhoea he displayed in the so-called distinguished service of Lee Hsien Loong as PM and his uncomplimentary comment on the hostile relationship of Lee Hsien Loong with his siblings.

Ho Ching, the pompous spouse of Lee Hsien Loong, is not to be left behind in preserving their fading societal eminence, since she is no longer a PM's spouse.. She is seen to be fraternising with Lawrence's wife as one ploy to achieve her aim. Lawrence Wong's wife's look and ingenuity is nt something that Ho Ching can hold a candle to. So the next best thing is to suck up.

    The best way to tet out guitar player as boss is to make him lose a few GRCs in the next election. Only then can we see how he will “do things their own way”. Then again I would not be surprised to read of excuses like “We lost a few good ministers so our team is weakened considerably”. Uh huh uh huh.

    Give him a real baptism of fire too. Then we can see how he will (won’t?) win back those lost seats AND that vote share as well. Prove that you are truly a leader instead of just being able to say nice words to fool whatever simpletons are left hor.

    It is clear LW is a better orator than any of his 4G cohort.
    Kee Chiu has plenty to brush up even as minister.He sounds like he is the Hokkien Platoon Commander more so than any other thing?

    Ong You Con apes Lee Ah Long way too much in his manner.As a result ,he is so “plastic”.

    LW needs to put less gel(Tancho?) in his hair.It would be good he change hair-style?
    But no doubt,his oral skills are more acceptable and even appealing.
    Still,words are just words.
    He needs to put his words into ACTION.

    He is well-spoken.
    He is rational.
    He exudes leadership.
    What a waste of possible Local Political Leadership Talent.

    Don’t underestimate the greed of lhl just yet.

    Such kind of personality will not simply lie down & sleep.
    He still hold significant power & influence over majority of the ministers & MPs.

    LW needs to built his own power base & quickly.

    Besides trying to solve problems & issues facing the country, he has to watch out for tripping stones within the cabinet.

    At this point, LW has only the support of the citizens to stand on & he knew.

    Unlike lhl, who got his powerful old man to watch his back, he also inherited a group of yes-man when he took office.

    So for now, in order to prevent for lhl & his own people to grap too much power, Singaporeans must stand behind LW.

    Other things cam talk later.

    Tech: Not sure about what you say about LHL, but one thing I am certain, LW was not the preferred candidate, it has always been Heng or KeeQiu but somehow the 4Gs ‘overuled’ him.

    Our ruling class have become a bias, unfair and a bunch of rotten greedy bullies. Singapore is 3 times smaller than Tokyo city; yet, our stupid Singaporeans permit these PAPigs to be paid 4-5 times more than the Prime Minister of Japan. Our ministers are paid 2-3 times more than the monthly salary of the most powerful country – Joe Biden of the U.S.. And stupid Sinkies are okay to have to pay higher taxes to pay the PAPigs who are in-charge by gerrymandering to be part such multi-millionaire salaries above superpowers in the world. A tiny powerless island city where its leaders have persistently accumulated more and more power by writing legislative laws and thus allowed itself to keep these unbelievable salaries.

    Sinkies are screwed and so are their children. Sinkies have avoided having children because the leaders have screwed up the citizens salaries and failed at creating jobs and industries for Singapore heartlanders. They avoid children because they know university tuition fees are expensive and they cannot retire and send their kids for uni education. Without university education, their children have a higher likelihood to fall into poverty in Singapore, so Sinkies avoid children and marriage.

    The root cause is Sinkies have made PAPigs a hegemon in Singapore and have in turn become royally screwed by their political masters. Now, foreigners are recruited in as new citizens by the planeloads and PRs are converted into citizens for votes. Many Sinkies are suffering from defeatism.

As Singaporeans continue to want the PAP to be the ruling party , you cannot take a stronger approach or you may “burn the roast.” However they and most Opposition have a better talent pool than the PAP who are holding onto dead horses like LHL and TCH.WP,PSP and SDP will decrease the voter percentage of the PAP as LHL is still hovering over LW.

    It is imperative that LW relook and refresh the Sg Economy.

    Basing Social Assistance VIA the BASIS OF HDB DWELLING TYPES/PRIVATE IS TOO SIMPLISTIC AND UNFAIR to Aged sgs.
    These days MANY YOUNGER SGS with good incomes are buying 2-room HDBs and spending their money on expensive renovations to make their flats look luxuriou$ and going for Holiday$ frequently on a REGULAR BASIS.

    MANY OLDER sgs may be living in private homes but are penniless unless they downgrade so as to keep up with COL.
    But the HDB POLICIES are unfairly restrictive towards them.

    Too aggressive in dumping too many ill-qualified FTs has already lowered our National Productivity that remained LOW over last 2 decades.
    No one seemed to care???
    LW,you are trained as economist and must not just continue to base your policies on mathematical numbers alone.
    That has already brought about grave repercussions onto many ordinary sgs.
    Mathematics is not broad outlook but narrow-mindedne$$,very specific and public policies are supposed to call for helicopter view.
    That was HOW DR GOH KENG SWEE did a fantastic job that helped Sg and SGS(YES,THE NATION) GREW AND BE PROSPEROUS,STATE AS WELL AS people.

    Wish you all the best.

    Very unrealistic hope.
    “Old people lord.” Lord over old people’s HDB and make them $0. Lord over “old man”, throw his forever-up promise into his grave.

    A good PM ought to be like a good Captain of a soccer team.He leads his “Team” to score goals against other “Teams”.

    A bad PM is like a Captain-striker that SCORE into his own team’s goal-post helping the other “Teams” to win against his own Team-members.

    To be fair,LKY LED sgs to score goals vs Other Teams.
    What about PM GOH N PM LOONG?
    You decide.

    Now,we look forward to see how LW will lead us,SGS,to score goals.
    Will he score into our own goal-post???

    We wait and see…

    It’s either a stupid or a rhetorical question.

    Their annual incomes are multi-million. The only way any of them is not a millionaire will be if they spend (spend, not invest) 99% of their income, supporting their in-laws or whatever.

    Lucrative Business: ”Tell us,WHICH OF OUR 3G/4G ministers are nOt MULTI-MILLIONAIRE$?”
    Very Good Question.
