Foreign relationship worldwide is very weak (and not protrayed by ownself praise ownself lousy "best" team ?) especially big or strong countries of this world ?

Many countries managed and factly reduced tariffs or bring good news for their nation and citizen but ours failed miserably ?


Sweet talk lumber 1 ? TCSS ?

"Live with it" Very "sweet" wordings ?

Parliament first sitting should discuss how PM rate the performance in this and be recorded ? See what type of reply and person ?

Just like low and keep failing tfr can be appeased by "sweet wordings" and import foreigners to replace Singaporean ?

Just ask a unrelated question.

if your company got one procurement vp, always kena Suan Jiak Liao bee one, never even get chosen to be in company executive committee even though he is vp, during bonus season get super high bonus because boss say need him to close one big purchase and only he can do it

Then he fly over to vendor office in us to negotiate, after he fly back he say vendor is in no mood to discuss any discount to the price, and in fact the final price is still to be determined. Like this u think he will get promote for good job done?? Or company will claw back bonus?
