You’re right—Westernized ideals may appeal to some, but everyday issues like secondhand smoke and paying for plastic bags affect far more Singaporeans. In a practical sense, only ministers who can address or genuinely care about solving these widely felt issues are seen as true champions in the hearts of Singaporeans. On the other hand, those who focus on less popular causes and end up negatively impacting daily life will likely be met with public scorn.




Yes, and with the new banding and all, it’s making life more difficult for both parents and students. I don’t see any real benefit to these drastic changes—except perhaps to make the decision-maker look like a maverick if things happen to turn out well.

Speaking up for the majority benefits him too. Like you said, those who speak up for the minorities get condemned by the majority. The former is machiam yes men, while the latter are sacrificing themselves.

Think about it—if speaking up for the majority guaranteed popularity, why aren’t all the ministers doing it? There are plenty of obvious, low-hanging issues they could champion.

The reality is, popular issues are often the hardest to tackle. And those JLB ministers know they’ll continue collecting fat paychecks while doing nothing, so they stay silent and avoid the heavy lifting—unlike Louis, who actually had the guts to speak up. And what response did he get? As expected—nothing will change because, apparently, it’s ‘too hard’ to implement proper checks.

 

[~sabaisabai~]

very disappointed with the changes

why leh? no good?

 

[rlskyline]

cry till very drama leh

 

[~sabaisabai~]

Big loss, not sure why Louis kena kicked out

Any estate issues, he replies damn fast

yes, Louis is good MP, same as LBW. Will reply fast
Is a loss for Yishun although i am not from his constitution

 

[~sabaisabai~]

Knn solve the pigeon, crow and rat problem first la.

Anyway these type sure is the Resident committee ownself song song suggest. Alot of funny things get requested dur toing election period.

agreed! seems pigeons, crows and rats are getting worst

 

[Hakuna Matata]

最后一次还被利用宣传。傻！

"I’m stepping away, not because I stopped loving this job, really far from it ...."

Then in the first place he should stay on and not being a quitter

Look at LMW
Kana left, right, center, front and back
1 fight so many many

LMW is a fighter
Louis a quitter

Just my 2c opinion

Come on, LMW retired already, less commitment and can focus on national issues

Louis is much younger and it is also fair for him to spend more time with family and his interests of doing social good

 

[ServerGuySG]

Lol, what a touching story, u step down is because your colleagues in PAP don't like u lah and so u end up like Inderjit Singh lidat, so stop crying in front of the cameras leh...

 

[stupidog]

i will also cry if i know i will be losing few hundred k per year

 

[Tenpai]

Let me guess…. Under the lady mp? Mine under Derrick and frankly speaking, he did a great job considering he is 1st term mp.

Quite sad that he decided not to contest but I don’t blame him as he’s just promoted to COO for DBS and will be more busy than ever.

LBW has left big shoes to fill

but hearsay this one doesn't even fill 50% of LBW's shoes

LBW is sorely missed up till now

 

[Shion]

agreed! seems pigeons, crows and rats are getting worst

pigeons coz ppl keep feeding
and also ppl dun chase away pigeons when they loiter around aircon ledges

Many do? PAP also did many popular things that's why they keep winning? Like just some years ago, they mocked at oppo for supporting LGBT, but now they send representatives to LGBT. Not all popular issues can be solved, nor should some be solved. Like the HDB lease "problem".

 

[Tetsuconek]

Probably kicked out by Pappy. Just asked to stepped down to make it look like a nice exit... Like as good as sacked but company tell staff to resign so it looks better on resume.. is sibeh fake. Cringe when sham go wipe his tears

[meepokkia]

Probably kena marked la. Ask too many qns, all they want is a yes man.

 

[vbhelper]

Realise family is more impt after serving as mp?
What were they thinking about mp job when they first applied for it?

 

[EDMW-Hates-Me]

kindly elaborate

I already gave you an example (LGBT) on how they will change their stand depending on the popularity right? The VERS was a vague scheme to appease the leasehold mob back then.

I don’t think LGBT issues have ever been popular to tackle in Singapore?
