An expensive economy won't last.
An expensive society won't last.
An expensive nation won't last.
Little Singapore is too expensive, even economic bee hoon is no more economic.
Japan has lost 30 years. Japanese YEN to USD is 163 to 1.
Young South Koreans can't see their future.
What makes you think the next generation of Singaporeans won't become the lost generation.
The next challenge for the PAP is to convince young Singaporeans that they should work hard for 20 to 30 years to pay down their S$600,000 4rm HDB flat. It's a debt trap the ruling class has designed for young Singaporeans.
Ha ha ha!
LW CABINET RESHUFFLES LIKE " GIVING OUT OSCARS AWARD "! TOP OSCAR GOES TO ….????? I THANK MY FATHER , THANK MY MOTHER , THANK U ALL SUPPORTERS !!!
😂😂😂😂😂
Get the best. Kick the rest. And please have more kids
Where there is nothing to show, watch the reshuffle for you with you talk talk only show.
Singapore to take in between 25,000 and 30,000 new citizens a year over the next five years [Ref: ST 26 Feb 26].
So, before the next election, expect another over 100,000 new citizens.
TFR should be pegged into the formula of the ministers pay scale. Falling TFR means straight pay cut.
Unlike GDP — which can be propped up by mass immigration and tax-driven capital inflows — the TFR reflects how ordinary Singaporeans truly feel about their economic prospects. It's a harder number to spin.
Yeah! Progressive wage!
Go become a security guard lah!
PAP and towkays have designed this attractive job for you.
Can make S$3000 per month!
Work 12 hours per day!
Alternate Saturday has to work as well!
Have you heard of China's 996?
Ha ha ha!
Not that I want to say; If the focus is still not on TFR, then next PM please, there is no Singapore without 'real' Singaporeans.
This is the end
Can give me faisal ndp tiket
Nothing good/best deals are going to come out from the government party big mouth, their big mouth are use for keeping their own self collect own self highest pay.
Also sg soldiers are for show only, cannot fight during war or don't want to fight during war, escape is the most important thing during war. We as sg soldiers before so we know.
Also more types of toxic foods and all types of toxic jabs, as well as more toxic vapes are coming into Singapore/coming to Singaporeans.
The good-for-nothing government party create more jobs for foreigners and foreign workers working in Singapore, and for PR and new citizens, while Singaporeans are forced to serve NS to protect these foreigners and foreign workers, and PR and new citizens.
The good for nothing government party talk is one thing, but do is another thing, we as Singaporeans of course we know.
But Singapore cannot have nuclear plant in the future because people from overseas are waiting " to do something bad " on the nuclear plant
The good for nothing government party is wasting electricity by putting more than one thousand machines around Singapore running 24hr every day to collect back empty plastic bottles.
The good-for-nothing government party is building more condos for foreigners working in Singapore and building more HDB flats for new citizens, while Singaporeans are forced to serve NS to protect foreigners and foreign workers in Singapore, and protect PR and new citizens.
Families and firms said it is time the government release the singapore reserve money and gold bars to help them in this difficult "war on Iran" time.
But the CoE problem yet to be solve 😢
新加坡並不是沒有足够的有智慧高才华有远景的青中年人才。大家都很清楚他们不会進入政壇的各种各样的原因。反对党也面对同样的问题。只有获得及付出能相互平衡的时候，这样的问题或许才能够得到或多或少的解决。国民教育中心思想以国家为先个人为次的教育宗旨不得到注重这个问题将永远存在。
no eyes to see the future of SG.
Such an important press conference to announce cabinet changes, why wasn’t the two senior ministers, Chan Chun Sing and Ong Ye Kang who competed with him for the PM positions involved in this news conference. Instead two new ministers sitting on his left and right together with other new members of the PAP. One of them who is very unpopular with Singaporeans being promoted to a Minister. I guessed he will soon get rid of CCS & OYk and promote Jeffrey Sioe & David Neo as DPMs.
What a useless government. Lawrence Wong so far has been pretty much just following the PAP's rulebook and running Singapore like a big 3 company. Just take a look at the comments before they disappear, what about Singaporeans serving 2 years of NS yet new citizens appearing every single day. Singapore land is scarce but we are now population 6 million and counting, why the contradiction then? That's why it's a useless government who is only good in handing out vouchers and cash benefits.
If you are political minister or prime minister or a president who served the country and the nation and the citizens and make sure make no mistake to your job and your family always you must remember one thing respect the PAP pure white uniform that you are wearing is respersenting yourself also a clean PAP party to serve and service to your nation citizens and everyone will always respect you.
how they reshuffled, the outcome is the same. is a musical chair merry go round.
Integrity, respect and honnest for MP faizal to step down from politic leader.Nowadays society hard to please and serve, modern digital era will make everything become sensitive, opposite genders become more attractive, lifestyle become more vibrant. Always remember become political leader many challenge. And our MP will always prepared when turbulance came in makesure have well train candidates to backup.
I just look at the person sitting next to his left and I say to myself : Singapore is doom !!
Maybe that mysterious woman is a prc spy. No joke ,😊😊
