This trade war is serious matter. Singapore's trade is 3 times our GDP. Trade war will seriously affect us. It's a matter of job and livelihood.
With Gan Kim Yong being the key man in fighting this trade war, even if not happy with PAP, I think got to think twice taking risk with our vote this round.
You mean once he voted out, MTI will stop functioning? Perm Sec will still be on their payroll right? :(

i'm sorry but it's this kind of opinion that makes me thinking where did our education system go wrong? :(

Yes the moment I heard Pritam said that last night my mind was already thinking that he is mocking the doctor's failure to check strength, implying that the doctor did not serve NS hence was not taught.

Training them to take on hardship and prepare them for work force since young. Nothing wrong.

If you are unhappy about this, you should fully blame LW for moving GKY to Punggol at the last minute on nomination day which has caused this situation.

GKY was an MP of CCK for 20 years and had already built a long relationship with CCK residents, but he was suddenly parachuted Punggol by LW for political reasons. LW has put PAP political interest ahead of Singapore's interest, that is very bad.

If you listen to pritam carefully, pritam gave no room for cherry to rebutt. Check strength is the basic instilled in SAF 'NSF' commanders

Cherry is under the SAFVC. There is another level to distinct SAFVC vs NSF

This should be parents distributing the leaflets, and the kids helping them out (or no one is taking care of them at home). Hope this doesn't go viral.

I agree with PS. This is fundamental. If you want me to bear arms and my sons to do so, then you have to at least show me that you have done it before. I will die for my country. Of cos, it doesn’t apply to the older politicians who didn’t have the chance to serve lah

Based on your logic and saying that we must vote for someone just because they're "important" is nothing but fearmongering. History has proven that no one is truly irreplaceable, just look at George Yeo. Even after his loss, Singapore moved on. Trade continued, policies evolved, and life went on. If a minister only becomes "valuable" during specific crises but has otherwise failed to consistently speak up for Singaporeans, question policies, and deliver real results, then they have already failed at their most basic duty.

We should not be voting to protect an individual’s career. We should be voting based on who truly serves the people, every day, not just when it's convenient.
