Lam Pin Min: I think many of you have heard about the one-for-one narrative, is this really the case?

In an opposition held ward, when I want to make improvements to infrastructure, is there impediments from the statutory boards?

If yes, is that not a punishment from the govt for not voting for them?

In a PAP ward, when the Minister wants to build an overhead walkway shelter, are there impediments to the approval?

Serious question.

They think people really stupid don’t know why stunt they are trying to pull meh? The TC and stat board sleep for 4 years then near to GE start to work.

I also get to work during election year.
I never submitted so many OneService reports within a single year before. It's a bit sad that this is how our civil service works, but you got to work with what is there. Oh wells.

But my TC is really a TCSS TC... most jlb among all. Best they can usually commit is will consult, will monitor, etc.
I think I don't mind letting NSP or SDP have a try at running the TC... but still hoping my TC will buck up and prove me wrong. :frown:

Honestly, I cannot understand how 1 + 1 can be less than 1. Competition drives 1 to perform better. So 1+1 must be more than 1. Maybe I am too dense to understand this.
ChatGPT:

"One plus one can be less than one" coming from a politician isn't a math fail—it's usually a metaphor wrapped in spin and sprinkled with just enough nonsense to make people think it sounds profound.

They mean combining forces can backfire—like two parties weakening each other, or added policies making things worse. It sounds deep, but really, it’s just spin dressed as wisdom.


Translation: “I’m being vague so you can’t prove me wrong.”

I know what spinning the yarn means. But the way I look at it, it is more like cooking the goose.
