TR EMERITUS

Now,thats true sign of democracy demonstrated from within his own party.
His wrongs n failings are being righted on behalf of the Nation by his own ministers.

Here,ministers simply tug along,rightly or wrongly.
In the 1G,there were ministers like Dr Goh,Dr Toh,Raja,etc who dared to disagree with LKY when necessary.
They did so for the COMMON GOOD OF ALL sgs.

As Senior Lee warns, “Singapore cannot afford revolving door
style of government where leaders change every five years” (ST 4 Apr 2007).
=================================================================

Revolving door style of government are never good for politics.

I think many are well paid and for the money they won’t

U are such a clown.

UK is a true democracy.
We are autocracy.

Those people who opposed Xi disappeared or fired. Same as Putin. U think any different from Pinky?

U think its really status quo not fear?

Democracy is just a nice catchphrase..China deems itself socialist democracy or whatever.

Spore is a tightly managed democracy but has all the freedoms within sensible limits. Freedom to live, travel, comment, form political parties, etc.

Where Singaporeans ran into trouble is that they ventured too far into certain topics and attracted the lawsuits. However, even then, they are often offered a painless way out…apologise and retract the comments.

Once the legal wheels start turning, the outcome can be very expensive.

Democracy does not need centuries. Nor even decades. Democracy is defined by the Constitution. Change the Constitution if need be but the Laws are within the framework of the Constitution.

panyusg: Democracy is just a nice catchphrase..

Yes, well said.

Any system that bring peace, security and prosperity for its people, it is a good system.

To borrow a phrase from Deng, black cat or white cat, so long as it catches rats are good cat.

Opposition, please Get this into your head.

A pappy supporter living in dreamland.
Freedom to live – SERS, racial quota
Freedom to travel – jab jab jab, watch your t-shirt
Freedom to comment – be careful of “highest egg che long”
Freedom to form political parties – if the party is mostly dormant

Exception: Kim jong-un,but he from different $ystem?

My HBP3 has improved significantly with acupuncture, which is a good sign, the specialist attending to me said. I will just take things easy and concentrate on saving the funds needed for further treatment.

I am fine with continuing my medication and keeping a healthy lifestyle fro now, as for the Urine therapy, over my dead body. lol

Ha8haha788hahahaha, … the ministers, mayors, president and underlings here are so so f**king well fed, well protected and well cronied for their very own mega-generations thereof !!!

That’s madness, and, …… so unSingaporean !!!

Nahhhhhhhh, … not even worth contemplating !!!

@ Just curious, does urine therapy causes hallucination (that one is living in a utopian city) and the tendency to daydream?

Guess not else drug sales wwill plummet.

dave: You forgot to take your medication.

Sri Lankan’s debt from the Hambantota Port has been converted into revenue by renting out the port for 99 years to China. There is therefore no more debt owing to China. But Sri Lankan owed a lot to IMF, World Bank and many private western banks that is bankrupting the country.

You need take your medicine and go back to school to learn how to read and reason.

No more debts owe to China..? You should check yourselves into Buangkok Green IMH.

Here’s your Americunt democratic news for you.

https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/china-wild-card-sri-lankas-debt-crisis-84851676
China ranks third among Sri Lanka’s creditors after Japan and the ADB and accounts for 10% of the debt, but Xi’s government has an outsize potential to disrupt a settlement.

PAP mandate strong:
China charge interest average 3.3%. China average debt maturity 18 years.

Japan charge interest average 0.7% . Somemore yen depreciate.
Japan average debt maturity 34 years.

Whereas India average debt maturity 24 years.

Wow… hear..hear.. 3.3% interest rate ?

If this is not debt trap exploitation, what is ? Truly Chinese blood suckers.

Jepun is the best at 0.7% …. love Jepun. banzai, banzai, banzai

Did not expect him to last so long…so many scandals.
Too many Indian Chiefs ?

You have a false sense of peace in singapore because, being tiny and dependent on much bigger market(a weakness), you can get away with the same political system as those who have brought forth social instabilities, lawlessness and ultimately economic hardship/disasters.

Don’t think a system of economic/political exploitation can stand the test of time eventually.

Many local graduates have been jobless for years. Your family situation is repeated all over Singapore.

When that Penang mister said degrees are useless, that time already very serious. Degree holders are jobless.

PAP is surviving on new voters. Likely 70% of real Sinkies already waken up and want pappy out.

Is Life Better Under LHL?:
@Singaporeans R Free Riders

I am 60+ and jobless and my wife is a clerk earning 3K. My elder son is an NTU graduate and jobless for about a year due to many FTs in Spore. My younger son who is a Poly Graduate finds difficulty in getting into the local university due to many foreign students in the University.

We are not asking for too much but a mean to survive in our own country. Is our life better under LHL ?

Some people dont bother to counter check themselves even with the simple copy and paste search on google.
And even source link given they will end up saying something else.

A link to a source that demands money. How to know whether the data is good?

You cited well known western propaganda sources. That says a lot whether you are a western sheep. There are many web sources that give an objective analysis of Sri Lanka. Bet you never read any of those.

Next UK’s PM ,Sunak,and his wife among richest in UK,with a £730 million,richer than Queen!

Rich gets richer..

Okay pal. Since you dont believe China charged 3.3% interest and debt maturity 18 years.

Then you educate the rest here wat interest rate China charging and actual debt maturity period. I m quite sure there are intellects like BK, SS, Oxygen ….etc also curious to know.

Since you been to China , travel to China, understand China, maybe work or live in China ?

Lol. Lets remind ourselves that this crackpot said that US moon landing is a fake. This kind of stupidity must be inherited thru Chinese chauvinist blood.

1. “Yesterday’s memory is still fresh and clear, when the US astronauts stepped outside their cabins and planted the first flag in human history, an American national flag, on the moon in 1969,” Song Zhongping recalled. “But China is about to showcase our own national flag as well, which I believe is a recognition of the achievements and breakthroughs that we have made, which will be the most valuable thing.”

2. Not one but 6 US moon landings!!

…To get a sense of how difficult the task it is, five of the six flags (except for the one Apollo 11 placed on the moon) brought to the moon in the late 1960s and early 1970s during six US crewed moon landings, have been bleached white due to decades-long solar radiation, although they are reportedly still standing and casting shadows….

From big mouth Global Times of CCP.
https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1208931.shtml

1. This stupid crackpot just proved that in the West there is counter narrative. Unlike China that censors wholesale anything that CCP dont like. On a scale of balance, where is the propaganda?

2. And secondly, the Canadian study was rejected by Sri Lanka ports authority for not being comprehensive. After US and India rejected the project, China took it up.

Proof of the pudding is in the eating. Hambantota port is losing money since it started. So is China stupid or is there an advantage somewhere?

And in the same media platform The Atlantic:

1. The history of China shows its belligerence, and its tendency to export its values – no different from the US

Useless.
