He said Aljunied will repent for 5 years in 2011...now already more than 5 years, they repent already or not?

Yes. They repented. For voting pap prior to 2011

It will continue to get worse. Just look at how Singapore has changed from a 3rd to 1st World and then now U turning and heading toward the 3rd World.

1st G PAP = Excellent (No horse Run) -
from Underdeveloped to a Developing Country

2nd G PAP= Nothing to Sing about. Just doable (continued from the 1st G)
Developing to Developed Country (but NO Swiss Standard till now)

3rd G PAP=Mediocre, Beginning to tear apart.
Deteriorate from Developed Country towards 3rd World Country

4th G PAP= Hopeless, Jiak Leow Bee (continued with the deterioration)
Moving faster towards 3rd World Country

“We are well prepared, because we have been gearing up for such a situation ever since we dealt with SARS in 2003,” Lee Hsien Loong said in an annual Chinese New Year speech.

“MOH (Ministry of Health) has now activated plans to counter the spread of the virus, which so far does not appear to be as deadly as SARS was.”

Lawrence Wong said that the government's decision on whether healthy people should wear masks or not follows the scientific evidence and World Health Organisation's advice.

The government is also informed by new information such as more asymptomatic patients being identified.

LHL was over confidence back then by declaring the country is well prepare in world stage to deal with this unknown threat
骄兵必败
meaning : an arrogant army is bound to lose


They don't opt for Better be safe than sorry IN THE BEGINNING

meaning : it is wise to be careful and protect yourself against risk rather than be careless


As one can tell, RESULT/FACTS HAD ALREADY SPOKEN FOR ITSELF

败也政策, 成也政策

Better to overreact than underreact. Yes overseas economy will suffer, but at least domestic economy won't suffer as much

Current state of affair is sad. Many Opposition candidates looks more credible than incumbent.

 

[laserboy88]

blame the leaders for leading a bunch of JLB silver serpents who all gave the wrong data/info/advice.

yes, it's the fault of the leadership for their poor management. but the problem we face is even greater. over 100k silver serpents (incl pubic service) are the real CMI ones who have been getting good pay and bonuses, and during ** when WFH, pretty much CBL since many govt services were suspended (just think of all the govt depts and stat boards - what applications / approvals were they processing from home?)

There are many experts around. No?

Luckily PAP has increased in quantity to make up for the decline in quality. Heng ah.

It just takes too long to climb to minster level. Most of them r older 50. We all know as we ages our brain deteriorates and also lack in energy level. When lky was first pm he was only in his 30s. We need more young blood to take the leadership

I disagree with that, in the past is economy, quality and reliability, we have changed with the times, now it's called "Marketing".

Former senior civil servant Ngiam Tong Dow has clarified that he had given the "wrong impression" and that he "had not been fair" in the statements he made in a controversial interview published in the September issue of the Singapore Medical Association's (SMA) newsletter.

In the interview, he had criticised Singapore's public service, calling it "tamer" and the ruling People's Action Party (PAP) "a bit too elitist".

"The civil service has definitely become tamer, which is not good because we need a contest of ideas," said Ngiam the wide-ranging interview. During the interview, he was asked whether he saw exchanges of ideas and criticisms in the civil service.

"The difference is that no one wants to make a sacrifice anymore. The first generation of PAP was purely grassroots, but the problem today is that the PAP is a bit too elitist," he added.


On 10 October 2013, Ngiam sent a clarification statement to the editor of the SMA News. Among others, he said, "I retired from the civil service in 1999. Since then I have not attended any cabinet meetings, and have never seen one chaired by PM Lee Hsien Loong. Thus my statement that Ministers will not speak their minds before PM Lee is unfair as it was made without knowing what actually happens at Cabinet meetings today."

The full clarification is carried here in the Straits Times.

In response, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, on his Facebook page, said, "Mr Ngiam Tong Dow’s recent interview in the Singapore Medical Association’s newsletter attracted some attention. I am glad that he has clarified the statements he made, especially his comments about my ministers. Mr Ngiam served as my Permanent Secretary in MTI years ago. I hope that in retirement he will continue to support the institutions and systems that he helped build during his long and illustrious career."

On minister's salaries

Now 76, Ngiam spent a good four decades serving in various portfolios within the government, chairing the Economic Development Board, taking on permanent secretary roles at the ministry of finance and the Prime Minister's Office, and chairing numerous government-linked organisations, companies and agencies that included DBS, the CPF board and HDB.

He made his comments in the context of his earlier views about ministerial salaries, when asked what he was hoping to see in newer and younger political leaders.

"In the early days, Lim Kim San and Goh Keng Swee worked night and day, and they were truly dedicated," said Ngiam. "I don't know whether Lee Kuan Yew will agree but it started going downhill when we started to raise ministers' salaries, not even pegging them to the national salary but aligning them with the top ten.

"When you raise ministers' salaries to the point that they're earning millions of dollar(s), every minister — no matter how much he wants to turn up and tell (PM Lee) Hsien Loong off or whatever — will hesitate when he thinks of his million-dollar salary," he continued. "When the salary is so high, which minister dares to leave, unless they decide to become the opposition party? As a result, the entire political arena has become a civil service, and I don't see anyone speaking up anymore."

You believe last time the quality very high?

You believe all the fairy tales that they put out without social media?

Boliao.

If I ask you to choose between (a very young) Ivan Lim and (the rather old) TCB to lead the country, who do you prefer?

Ivan? Since he's much much younger?

Leader can also rely on good talents to assist them, LKY alone wouldn't have made it without his old guards (GKS, TCC, LKS, etc). However, if leader himself is mediocre, and favours sycophants over true talents, then, whether the leader is younger, or older, does it make any difference?
