Nope .. The new guards has been bought off by the Iuminati and shadow governments .. so call experts .. who actually do not represent the people ..just look at europe..
@@kelvin.008 since when politicians were not detached from common people ? If lky and his team were not detached and be like common people, how to hv the visions of carpenters, hawkers and laborers ? "Common people" now are just complainers and entitled as well as asking for all and wanting all .. not for the country and society but themselves and yes, big ego too !
Yes very correct. Success mindset is different from normal people. Successful people is good to listen to the feedback of everyone (rich poor all people). Listen is one thing, to execute is still must decide by people who has the success mindset. Everyone should learn from successful people's success formula and not expect successful people to follow the mindset of poor people. They are poor in themselves because of their mindset. We need good mindset which can bring food onto the table for all Singaporean. If the poor man can't even feed themselves, yes still listen to them (meet MP sessions), but not be led by them.
We are not completely out of evil covid 19 yet ,, so we all must be very very careful,? .. Best is to be careful when in touch with foreigners, The best vaccines today is the very popular sinophram vaccines from china ,,,,???
If the government keeps on being arrogant and refuse to list and analyse citizens voice, they going to pay heavy 3:183:19 price. MPs showing their face at the hawker centre and shaking hands don't help.
Government listened. When they listened and execute, opposition would say government implemented their ideas. By doing listening to the people, government is likely to be in power over and over again. This is what a good government would be.
@@SiongBoonLim but can’t be I increase GST higher for life but give you voucher 1-2 years to tide over your cost. That’s soothsayers what. We always vote for stability. But the same stability can’t be ignorance for them to do anything they want. Do we have clarity on where CPF money is invested and if there is a loss because of investments in China over the history of Singapore - where China is down 30-40%? Is there real transparency with what transpired with Iswaran case and how they handled it vs Vivian and Shanmugan and then Pritam case?

Be careful ... very careful of politicians who bend to such short terms fixes and screw up future generations to come.
Most Singaporean life improve. My life improved compared to when I was young. Which is why majority still choosing PAP. Which is also why PAP still staying. But significant of our success in life still very much depends on ourselves. I can't be laying comfortably on my sofa, doing nothing, and thinking that my life will become better with the vote on my hand. I don't think a superman MP can help every kind of people. Rich will still be rich, poor will still be poor, no matter which government takes over. Our life depends on what we do for ourselves. Our life is on our own hand and not the government. I am sure if your life is bad now, no matter who is the next government, your life will still be just that bad. Good government gave people more opportunities to strive in their life, opportunities for business to flourish, more jobs. And this government that we have now, have done all these beautifully. And it is also the reason why she attracted to many people to come over to stay, work and play even through it is not cheap. The value that our government created is very huge. Look at many nations... people leaving their homeland to work in Singapore. Their government can't provide food to every citizen that they have. Some got to flow out to work. They rely on Singapore to improve their own life. We really have a good government.
@@JannHo improve or don’t improve life has also become very stressful, we are also paying so much. Plus so many foreigner and policy that makes our country seem so successful but is the common man profit sharing?
@@SiongBoonLim I won’t say no. But take the cost of living for example. If you are well salaried yes all don’t matter to you but take a common 6k salary husband and wife make 12k. It’s a struggle to really enjoy life cause of the luxuries things are becoming. Yes the whole place is organised but media -government owned. The lack of transparency of the policies. The rigidity of the governance and more the incumbent insisting they are doing a fantastic job when they are the ones writing the reports. If such a small population is been driven to work and hit one of the highest world gdp per capita - don’t you think we are working harder and quality of life is decreasing thus we see dwindling population. And solution can’t be always FT. Now we have a mixed demographic totally imbalanced. That’s not the promise PAP made to the initial citizens of Singapore.
Enough of this election bullshit. Give them max 45% and let them beg opposition parties to form a transparent, fair, meritocratic, equality and justice society. We don’t really have that now and important top positions in public and government own private entities are filled with cronies, paper generals with no relevant qualifications and experience needed In this troubled and competitive world…..
extremely unhappy with the current 100% increase in HDB resale for the past 5 years. really ridiculous. GST increase also made all the goods more expensive (a lot). Totally ridiculous system of GRC to maintain power, GRC should be abolished.
you have not improved yourself in 20 years? What the hell have you been doing? I spent 9 years doing part time study to get 2 diplomas and finally a degree at the age of 36. I have never cried father and mother through the process. don't blame your laziness on the government!
@@yusriabdulrazak1894 I am sorry to hear that but I think it's not right to blame the government. We must find ways to upskill and improve our own lives. I have a friend who earned 2k 20 years ago but is earning 5 times more today because he helped himself. Opportunities are there but if we don't know how to seize them, it's not the government's fault
Everything so expensive in 2024! Gst up, electricity bill up, water bill up, coe up , hdb price also up… what is down … worry about election is normal base on above reason oh mrt fare up also … the worst is food price even hawker centre food also so expensive
Singaporean must remember this when voting PAP: 1)Expensive BTO flats that is unaffordable to many.Once you lost your job,you are basically at risk of bankrupt because u cannot afford to repay loans unless you have lots of money in the bank. How to settle other bills? 2)Expensive town council fees that is more expensive than your home broadband.As long as you live there,u still got to pay 3)Expensive water and electricity bills that is set to increase after General Election. 4)Public Transport like Bus and MRT fees will increase after General Election.No way PAP is giving free money to citizens. Everything needs to be return to them. PAP will claim it is necessary to maintain reliability 6)Food and drinks cost will increase again 7)COE will increase after General Election.PAP will say it is necessary to maintain traffic and they import more PRC into SG 8)Cigarettes prices will go up 9)Petrol cost will go up 10)EV Charging will increase 11)Next Generation ERP will be implemented making drivers more frustrated as they are bill for per distance charge Voting PAP will put normal Singaporeans tired,With no money to enjoy life. If LHL is around,expect more troubles and more money to be pay to them We,Singaporeans know teir tricks during GE. The more you create trouble for opposition,the more votes u will lost. Be prepare for more increase afterwards GE Look at those Ministers.. Many Ministers hold two jobs and enjoy high salaries.U think they can manage this? Mayors are wasting tax payers money Why we are working hard to pay them this and that? Let PAP go and change government Vote them out and reduce their power
Price will go up for sure. Inflation. Government can control inflation to some extend but they cannot stop inflation. Because a significant part of the problem comes from other nations. Money keeps on printing and circulate around the world. We Singapore has no resources nor land for growing our own food. We rely on trade to exchange for our basic necessities. When money gets inflated globally, we easily get affected. No government, no opposition can stop inflation. We as individual has to be financially educated and protect ourselves from this nonsense around the world. These problems will not be solved. Because you are barking at the wrong tree.
Yes - our cpf that start to be withdraw in total amount in all accounts upon teaching 55 years old . This must be changed or all Singaporeans should use your vote to make changes to the party that promised to change this rule
That’s why. You see all around the world people are embracing change of government and radical changes! Like Malaysia, Thailand, even brexit how many time the uk govt change and trump Biden then trump and now French govt collapse. We can’t be soooo scary cat la, Gotta let them know can’t take citizens for granted,
TBH, PAP mistake was to bring in foreign talent into this country which upset Singaporeans to lose their jobs.... definetly will impact the younger generations....
I believed many Singaporean do not wish or want to topple the Govt but kick those self serving and self righteous ministers who know how to curry favor their LHL and lips service to theirs voters yet done nothing to the GRC after empty promises before GE
I have the same sentiments as you. IMO, LHL values "YES" men/women more than capabilities. But most YES people are not capable in their work but in curry favor their boss. This is not what the people want. Money (which is not a small sum) should be paid to those who can contribute to the welfare of the country, not to any particular person. Not knowing LW much, if he is not along the same line as LHL, he will have difficulties to form his own "best" team as long as LHL still has influence over his choice. For that, I actually prefer that GRC should be abolished so that the people can help to retain the capable ones and kick out those who are YES ppl but not capable.
@@windydragon6522 HC will not bother with this stuff. As Singaporeans, you can just try to see which area you can do to achieve a better govt for the ppl. Don't bother to look into small unimpt issues.

LKY ruled Singapore as a dictator, by removing everyone who dare to stand up against him, with detention without trial and calling his opponents a communist terrorist. Of course, this was untrue. By securing the political power into his family, he then appointed his family relatives into political offices with assured loyalty to him. Of course, his actions served to enrich himself and his family.
If the result of being ran by a dictator is a world class nation, high standard of living, peace, harmony and prosperity, I will be very happy to be ruled by this dictator.
Ideologies, political styles and philosophies are for the idiots in the West. LKY is smart enough to gather competent people around him to turn this slum into one of the top cities in history. As long as it works, why not.
@@SiongBoonLimU don't understand Wats a dictator is, calling LKY one don't U any better person . It's patriots like Goh Keng Swee, Rajaratnam, Yusoff ishak etc that's to be remembered.
If the PAP needs to be toppled, let it be, when the citizens welfare could be uplifted. Positive politics is all about citizens' welfare. Is there such a thing as Negative Politics ?
Lawrence Wong's insistence to up gst by 2% was a gift to the opposition and a snub to the voters. What he is saying is "I can do whatever I want to you and you voters will still be too scared not to vote for PAP"
And to rub locally born citizens faces in the dirt even more, raise it in two waves so prices will rise thrice. Once upon announcement. Once more at the first 1% and a third time at the second 1%. While warning locally born citizens "don't test limit". Commnicate with your vote.
Maybe we should vote the current PM out first as a warning. Where ever the PM is going to contest, vote him out. Send a strong statement to PAP the cost of living is unacceptable. We need immediate change, starting with the PM
The truth is, none in our generation felt poverty and hunger. We are so well taken care off. So do you mean we should import talent from poorer nations who gone through poverty and hunger to lead Singapore and Singaporean? Do those nations do better than Singapore, just because they felt poverty and hunger? I prefer people who gone through success, who learned from great leadership experience to lead us into more success. Good leader or not, depends on the leader themselves, their mindset. There were also great leader who were not from poverty and hunger.
I often wonder why he smiled alot at PAP convention.. Getting into full control, great salary, perks n ready to fix the opposition? I really want to see the mantle of the young PM next few months/years in leading Spore in a very dangerous World says he n Govt, if PAP has the GE mandate
1 Simple thing, look after your Singapore citizens. Yet, for the last 20 years, they have hurled cost over cost increase to the people without even acknowledging the increase has surpassed income many times !! while they and those in the hierarchy received tremendous increase from Tax payers $$ to their income. As though the damaged done is not enough, situation worsen from hurt to insult. They policies begins to shift preference gains to foreigners and new imports, ignoring generations has sacrificed their youth in decades to defend this country. They will feel the wrath no doubt..
Inflation. Price will keep raising. No Singapore govenrment or opposition can control this. These are money printed by other nations. You switched to opposition, price will still keep raising and may be worst when artificially control price. What we can do is to be financially educated. Be savvy. Defends our finance, and not let inflation affects our own lives.
@@Brij-vt8nx My late father who died 20 years ago said the same thing. He was also unhappy with the increases in everything from property prices, transport fare etc. People should just stop complaining and start thinking about ways to help themselves.
remember it is singapore's luck to have a generational leader like LKY. He was an exception, an outlier. We are just reverting to a more normal average bunch of leaders. I doubt an opposition team can do much better. Few can compare to LKY. We might just have to wait a 100years more for a leader with a team of that calibre,
@@ngchongweng16 you see like Malaysia - they absorb the cost of fuel . They are okay to have a deficit to ensure their people are fine and at time to dig into their reserves. But ours they will only dig the reserves to keep business going and economy going - the larger picture so their business won’t fail. Our country is the only one the the public transportation, and the other government entities that should be a basic service to the people are making profits and paying the heads so well. While one can say prudent business - I ask at whose cost?

More protective policies This will start the ball rolling for more Democratic Republic System. The more PAP give Pritam problems, the more votes they will lose.
One guy claims everything you see in SG is created by a party. This is flawed in numerous ways: 1. A party is just a name. The OG no longer exist . It's the OG that made it happen. The subsequent team is not the OG team, they Inherit the success. So, the subsequent teams could not have done what they done without the OG setting the foundation. So if current team claims they are great, we need to discount this claim by factoring in the OG without whom the present team could never have done what they done and might not have existed. How was he able to make such bold claims? He can get away with it because English is pure Ambiguity in all sentences since it was invented. Language is Art is imagination is limited by your roti prata'ing. Every sentence they say has potential of being rebutted and even debunked. 2. Without a Super Condoning population, the current team could not have existed. Many with some wisdom long knew there are flaws in most policies and that the team is not as good as they make us perceive. But out of Supporting, they condoned flaws and failures thought the decades since 70 years ago. Many who are well off certainly naturally are politically apathetic and just support the status quo. But this is mistaken as the team is so perfect and great. Without feedback of flaws and failures, the team could never have achieved. So, the claim that everything is due to them is flawed and foolish. 3. Without the 40% voters who are tax payers, can the team have no problem funding their implementations? Every thing they claim credit has 40% contribution and enabling by the 40% tax payers. They 40% also gave them support by being law abiding and avoid protesting.
Please don't talk rubbish. We have had 2 Prime Ministers after Mr LKY. If these subsequent Prime Ministers and their cabinets were no good especially in more and more complicated and difficult global economic environment, you think Singapore new graduates can command such high starting salaries when after Mr LKY many more countries who were previously closed are all now opened with much bigger populations and cheaper labour cost? This includes China, India and many other African and ASEAN countries! And if subsequent leaders no good still so many people all over the world want to invest in Singapore and buy our properties here? There is a Chinese saying: start business difficult, to protect or preserve business is even more difficult! i really hate it was citizens do not value the efforts by subsequent government after Mr LKY. No government is perfect and the world is much more complicated now. Those in business should know. It does not help that technology gets obsolete so much faster than during Mr LKY's time.
Singapore Success is the sacrifice, hard work, sheer outright desire for a better future for the future of our Nation State, SINGAPORE. generations, SINGAPOREANS. SINGAPORE, IS NOT AND NEVER SHALL BE, WAS A POLITICAL PARTY NATION. THIS IS A FACT, EACH AND EVERY SINGAPOREANS, MUST, SHOULD AND HAVE TO KNOW.
When you trace back. there were many taxes not cause by war and pandemic. Singapore have good Singaporean working in the civil service, military and private sectors. If we do not have good team players, intelligent and hardworking Singaporean. pap would have failed a long time ago. So pls do not credit pap alone this is not a fascist country. Without the good and hard working Singaporean even the LION raw will make no afford.
Personally I don't think that the PAP will lose the election. Firstly, the people are only confident of the two main opposition and likely there could be a possibility of them winning on 15-20 seats. The PAP will still win 75 -80 seats. Adding to that the change of PM and SG is nothing much as the PAP cadres are still the same. LW cannot make decisions alone without the cadre and all the members are intact.
Singapore success is not by PAP alone. The citizens has play a part n our fore parents. LkY wants to take full credits for it to justify super high salary. He is just trying to show off but fails in his family matter. So don't ge is a genius but a bully n wants fear than love by the people. He perfers people to fear him not compassion
If LKY was solely responsible for SG success, then he is also solely responsible for all the problems. Barings bank collapse and destruction of SGX. Suzhou Industrial Park failure. Mas Selamat about to walk out of prison. Plunging birthrates giving his government the excuse to fly in planeloads of Uptrons to take jobs from locally born citizens.
Cost of living is killing all of us. The 1% increase in GST means we are paying more in terms of daily food and necessities. What's more there will be an increase of 10cents in bus and MRT fares come Dec 24
Cost of living (inflation) increased in Singapore, and this also happened to countries around the world. Singapore did well, not forgetting that Singapore don't have any natural resources to begin with.
Find a way to increase our income. It is how money works. The day we accept the fiat money that we are holding on our hand, we should expect inflation .... This problem is not something we can control. You can try be the PM or president. I am 100% sure, you also cannot solve this inflation problem. Because this problem does not come from Singapore.
The 'most expensive city ' honour includes rent which is not applicable to Singaporeans because we don't have to pay rent. It also includes cars but a car is a want.
People should still thank the government if they have a chance to retire in JB. Ask the Malaysians earning ringgit if they have the option of retiring in Singapore

@@patricktan6456 America’s enemies today are poorer and weaker than in 2019. The dramatic decline in such a short time of the Chinese and Russians is rapid and drastic. Even though we despise autocracies, I still feel sad for the crying fifty cents army in SG.
The failure to control inflation, and the issues facing aspirations such as aspirations to own a car, only to the wealthy. SG PEOPLE no longer ignorant, they understand what is the real price of a car , a basic Corolla cannot be $170K above. Food costs are so high but salaries are not improving much for the general people. Big class divide. Plus the ministers are now out of touch with the ground. That's big issue. Rapid breakdowns of mrt that always have a person in-charge that has no extensive ( decades ) experience with trains makes citizens feel they are taken for fools. 😢😢😮😮
The point is the older electorate vote on the basis of nostalgia & not on harsh reality. Why jack up the GST by 2% amidst rising food & oil prices & global chain disruption due to Ukraine-Russia war etc. The 2& GST rise shows: a) Pappies dun care & b) It signals a possible emptying treasury which the older electorate dont want to find out and know. Then what abput Income-Allianz deal? How could Chee HT argued in support of it earlier without first doing his homework & finding out about the capiral extraction plan? That saga shows that the Talk Dowm from a group who brand themselves as "elites" on "Mt Olympus' should be jettisoned by younger electorate choosing political representatives who genuinely care about Sgreans. Ok Lawrence Womg!!!
LW dun self flatter. Presently there is no competent law maker who makes policies that helps Sgreans to cope with high costs of living and rising housing prices and rent
Till now I don’t see any of the 4G ministers able to lead the country. Although they are trying very hard to please the citizen. Example giving out free voucher to the citizen but all these already made known to the people of Singapore. Today give you a chicken wing but few months later, they will get back a whole chicken from you. What the point?? This is making the citizen getting more and more angry with the current government.

I am voting Pritam, yes inam in Aljuned. Even if i was in Pasir Ris Punggol, i will vote dumbo Desmond. I am doing so because i just don't think PAP is SG future. Looking at Malaysia, no matter how f uped the politics there is and how corrrupted Mahathir is, his second legacy is giving Malaysia a proper foundation for a Democratic Republic. Give Malaysia time, with the Anawar era screw ups out hopefully soon, Malaysia direction will change. Now question is, can Singapore be as daring as Malaysia.😊
Yes. We are unhappy with the rise of Almost everything, except our salary! Is Any opposition ready to take over the government? Listen to the people cries. Lookout and go to the roots of the problems. Learn, and work together as Team Singapore!! Kingdom Fall when they Don't trust and fight each other. One issue's of discontentment, Ministers salaries...

The PAP will still form the Government no matter how much gains the Opposition may make. Lawrence Womg is just jacking the Opposition up and despite recent setbacks it will be awhile before they make decisive gains to be able to form the next Government.
Lawrence was never a bigwig. So far, he looks more like a moderate guy to lead Singapore. I wonder who wrote his speeches because he always needs to read from a script. I almost faint when he needs to read from a prepared script when our less successful neighbour PM can just speak off his cuff. One PM earns so much money but talk like a school boy against another that earns no salary from a country that Singaporean thought is second rate speaks like a pro. I feel more ashame of the higher earning PM. The teleprompter PM. Housing expensive, car expensive and even hawker food is so expensive where people goes on social media to complain. The aspiration of Singaporean is being undermined by these factors. Most Singaporean cannot do worthy jobs because they face stiff competition from incoming talents and they end up in the gig industries doing PHV and delivery. Luckily these industries still remain with Singaporean and PR. If PAP becomes more dominant then I think they will even allow foreigners to invade these gig jobs. High COE prices are causing the people to be very agitated especially with MRT breaking down now and then. Not sure if PAP will lose its dominant but it is harder for it to outdo their past election results. Anyway best of luck to the PAP.

PAP frequently highlights potential economic repercussions of voting for opposition parties, such as concerns about foreign investment, job losses, and the management of public funds. They argue that a change in government could disrupt Singapore's economic growth and stability. Not wanting opposition to even have equal seats in parliament! They have hold the similar fear tactics on voters , warns that a politically divided parliament could lead to inefficiency and gridlock, making it harder to pass important legislation. This narrative can instill a fear of a lack of progress in governance if opposition parties are given significant power. But forgetting citizens are equally disappointed and disgusted at PAP force policies that are disadvantages to citizens and Singapore being pushed out to them!
@@Ken-g8p Which policies are disadvantageous to Singaporeans? A good government cannot always listen to the people because people by nature are greedy. Most people aspire to own a car so should the government keep car prices low to show that they are listening? What is going to happen to the roads if almost everyone can own a car? Many people want to withdraw all their cpf early. Does it mean that the government does not care about its people by insisting on the current policy? Who will the people look for when they have no money and can't work? I do feel that a change of government will have a significant impact on Singapore's economic progress and stability because none of the opposition parties are ready to take over. Even WP, the strongest opposition party has said it's not ready to take over
@ Housing Policies: The Housing providing affordable public housing claiming by HDB. However, people feel there are not enough flexible options for young couples, and many struggle with rising property prices, making homeownership difficult. Transport Policies: Public transport in Singapore has also been a source of frustration. People expressed concerns about rising fares, overcrowded buses and trains, and the need for improvements in service quality. Social Welfare: Although the government has programs to assist those in need, critics argue that these programs are not enough. Citizens needed more support for lower-income individuals and families. Political and Civil Liberties: The strict laws governing freedom of speech, assembly, and political opposition have attracted criticism. Many citizens and activists are calling for greater freedoms and a more open political environment. Talking about COE, people feel that the policies have not effectively addressed this problem, leading to frustration with their daily commutes. COE and ERP systems are not just about traffic management, but also serve as revenue generators for the government. The high fees associated with COEs and ERP charges create a perception that the government profits from citizens' needs to travel. You mentioned CPF, One of the main frustrations is that CPF savings cannot be fully withdrawn at retirement age. Instead, they are meant to provide a steady income for retirees through the CPF Life scheme, they should have the freedom to access their savings as they see fit, rather than being restricted to prevent potential misuse. Government never helps those in deep shit because of overspend at own actions! people prefer to have the autonomy to manage their finances and make decisions about their savings without government intervention. We are not a communist country and we don't obey rules by government that hold such logic. We have our rights and chosen this government in running the country, if there are things not right we as citizens have to sound out and vote in another!
@ A list of it, simply the Frequent fare hikes leading to public anger, especially not aligned with service improvements. The rest just excuses. We are not a communist maxims country! Citizens have every right to voice out the disagreement and expression of the difficulties they face everyday lives. Government not doing what they are doing, gave every right to be voted out, simple as that.
Voting for the MIW means guaranteed loss of foreign investment (Shell MNC kicked out), job losses (how many locally born citizens fired while most jobs created for CECA), and the management of public funds (waste money on mayors and founder's memorial). Communicate with your vote.
Are you sure LW dealt with the covid-19 pandemic competently? Many questions remain unanswered about the safety of the experimental mRNA covid vaccines. Also, the high excess deaths has not been properly addressed!
he dealt with Covid-19 pandemic 'competently' by forcing everyone to take vaccines and ordering the limit of number of people gathering. That's not handling competently. That's handling with force and threat.
Those opposition coalitions the video mentioned are just punching bags. The only likely credible opposition will be WP as they has the experience. However, this video does not take into account of the many issues over the year, such as the increase in GST, the law suit of the Leader of Opposition, the handout of the upcoming financial budget announcement. Thus, take the video with pinch of salt hah.
Clickbait! There will be no shift from the rock solid 60% consistent traditional support for the PAP plus 90% representation in parliament. There are no indicators of a structural shift on tbe ground. All major concerns continue to be addressed from Day 1 of the last GE right up to the upcoming GE 2025. The battle at every GE has always been to win over the middle 20% swing votes. In GE 2025, should the PAP capture 70% of the national votes, it'll be considered a solid mandate for the new PM Lawrence Wong. At 65++%, we could say it's a resounding support. This is the more likely outcome for GE 2025.
Do use common senses, the Singapore dollar is strong and with a free port. You will know why the inflation, who controls the pricing, and who is actually taking the profit. Narrative can be crafted and it's cheap to divert attention.
With the trade wars going on, to change an established and experience government is asking for disaster. PM Lawrence Wong will garnered more votes for PAP than his predecessor I believe.
The PAP has made Spore into a City state not for Sporeans.. Cost of living continue to spiral, competition for real good jobs escalate even for our new graduates, population getting more grey without much support, private housing gets out of reach, Govt intolerance for public discourse on political issues, Govt mishandling of Ridout saga, TCJ ex Speaker episode, ongoing quarrel between LHY n LHL on LKY Oxley debacle. There's little Direction for Spore next 15yrs n beyond our children can look for forward to under LW 4Gs..
Singapore is on track to "matilah". That's been my thesis for years. Why? Because "We The People" have been far too busy chasing status and wealth, and not paying attention to the actions of the ruling political class. Getting the numbers of OPPOSITION up in the Parliament is a good start. It's not the only thing. Politics is DOWNSTREAM from culture. If better politics is a long-term goal, then the culture needs to change...and that means one individual at a time. Majulah or Matilah Singapura? Your choice. "The People Get The Government, and The Country They Deserve"
a big thing to realise is in terms of the country the governement is not the Boss, We are cos we are the ones who put voted them in and we pay their salaries, the government are no different from the maids
The problem is the rich pay the most. The rich owns the maid. Most are paid for by the rich, wealthy and successful people. The tax that most people paid, can' even cover the cost of the road we walked on.
The major difference after the old guards were gone is, the policy makers are too detached from the common people..

Nope .. The new guards has been bought off by the Iuminati and shadow governments .. so call experts .. who actually do not represent the people ..just look at europe..
@@kelvin.008 since when politicians were not detached from common people ? If lky and his team were not detached and be like common people, how to hv the visions of carpenters, hawkers and laborers ? "Common people" now are just complainers and entitled as well as asking for all and wanting all .. not for the country and society but themselves and yes, big ego too !
Yes very correct. Success mindset is different from normal people. Successful people is good to listen to the feedback of everyone (rich poor all people). Listen is one thing, to execute is still must decide by people who has the success mindset.
Everyone should learn from successful people's success formula and not expect successful people to follow the mindset of poor people. They are poor in themselves because of their mindset. We need good mindset which can bring food onto the table for all Singaporean. If the poor man can't even feed themselves, yes still listen to them (meet MP sessions), but not be led by them.

Government listened.
When they listened and execute, opposition would say government implemented their ideas.
By doing listening to the people, government is likely to be in power over and over again. This is what a good government would be.

Our life depends on what we do for ourselves. Our life is on our own hand and not the government.
I am sure if your life is bad now, no matter who is the next government, your life will still be just that bad.
Good government gave people more opportunities to strive in their life, opportunities for business to flourish, more jobs.
And this government that we have now, have done all these beautifully. And it is also the reason why she attracted to many people to come over to stay, work and play even through it is not cheap. The value that our government created is very huge.

Singaporean must remember this when voting PAP:
1)Expensive BTO flats that is unaffordable to many.Once you lost your job,you are basically at risk of bankrupt because u cannot afford to repay loans unless you have lots of money in the bank.

3)Expensive water and electricity bills that is set to increase after General Election.
4)Public Transport like Bus and

I have the same sentiments as you. IMO, LHL values "YES" men/women more than capabilities. But most YES people are not capable in their work but in curry favor their boss. This is not what the people want. Money (which is not a small sum) should be paid to those who can contribute to the welfare of the country, not to any particular person. Not knowing LW much, if he is not along the same line as LHL, he will have difficulties to form his own "best" team as long as LHL still has influence over his choice. For that, I actually prefer that GRC should be abolished so that the people can help to retain the capable ones and kick out those who are YES ppl but not capable.

Rising inflation is increasing the cost of everything, yet the only response seems to be offering temporary one time handouts on few occasions.
One guy claims everything you see in SG is created by a party.
This is flawed in numerous ways:
1. A party is just a name. The OG no longer exist . It's the OG that made it happen. The subsequent team is not the OG team, they Inherit the success. So, the subsequent teams could not have done what they done without the OG setting the foundation. So if current team claims they are great, we need to discount this claim by factoring in the OG without whom the present team could never have done what they done and might not have existed.
How was he able to make such bold claims? He can get away with it because English is pure Ambiguity in all sentences since it was invented. Language is Art is imagination is limited by your roti prata'ing. Every sentence they say has potential of being rebutted and even debunked.
2. Without a Super Condoning population, the current team could not have existed. Many with some wisdom long knew there are flaws in most policies and that the team is not as good as they make us perceive. But out of Supporting, they condoned flaws and failures thought the decades since 70 years ago. Many who are well off certainly naturally are politically apathetic and just support the status quo. But this is mistaken as the team is so perfect and great. Without feedback of flaws and failures, the team could never have achieved.
So, the claim that everything is due to them is flawed and foolish.
3. Without the 40% voters who are tax payers, can the team have no problem funding their implementations?
Every thing they claim credit has 40% contribution and enabling by the 40% tax payers. They 40% also gave them support by being law abiding and avoid protesting.
Please don't talk rubbish. We have had 2 Prime Ministers after Mr LKY. If these subsequent Prime Ministers and their cabinets were no good especially in more and more complicated and difficult global economic environment, you think Singapore new graduates can command such high starting salaries when after Mr LKY many more countries who were previously closed are all now opened with much bigger populations and cheaper labour cost? This includes China, India and many other African and ASEAN countries! And if subsequent leaders no good still so many people all over the world want to invest in Singapore and buy our properties here? There is a Chinese saying: start business difficult, to protect or preserve business is even more difficult! i really hate it was citizens do not value the efforts by subsequent government after Mr LKY. No government is perfect and the world is much more complicated now. Those in business should know. It does not help that technology gets obsolete so much faster than during Mr LKY's time.
time has changed. the team is facing different type of problems. you need to change your argument.

Personally I don't think that the PAP will lose the election. Firstly, the people are only confident of the two main opposition and likely there could be a possibility of them winning on 15-20 seats. The PAP will still win 75 -80 seats. Adding to that the change of PM and SG is nothing much as the PAP cadres are still the same. LW cannot make decisions alone without the cadre and all the members are intact.
@@christophers2937 they wont lose too much for sure, maybe a few more seats than they lost during last election
Singapore success is not by PAP alone. The citizens has play a part n our fore parents. LkY wants to take full credits for it to justify super high salary.

Singapore is successful since AD1300
There is nothing to fear about LKY as long as your voice is with a heart for Singapore.

Party can come and go country will remain, even America every 4 to 8 years president power will be renew yet their jets and submarines are still the world lost powerful
You should look at China's military advances. The days of US dominance is bearing its end
@@patricktan6456 America’s enemies today are poorer and weaker than in 2019. The dramatic decline in such a short time of the Chinese and Russians is rapid and drastic. Even though we despise autocracies, I still feel sad for the crying fifty cents army in SG.
The failure to control inflation, and the issues facing aspirations such as aspirations to own a car, only to the wealthy. SG PEOPLE no longer ignorant, they understand what is the real price of a car , a basic Corolla cannot be $170K above. Food costs are so high but salaries are not improving much for the general people. Big class divide. Plus the ministers are now out of touch with the ground. That's big issue. Rapid breakdowns of mrt that always have a person in-charge that has no extensive ( decades ) experience with trains makes citizens feel they are taken for fools. 😢😢😮😮
SG is losing her soveign status to manage as a country.
we've never really lost it, just no one wants to step up to lead it
Bingo , the difference is Yes No man and Yes Yes man
Already lost that when signing that treaty with that unmentionable country.
Unable to control soaring cost of living. More than 50% Singaporeans wish to move to neighbouring Johor
Basically the leader is saying eventhough we are incompetent, you shouldn't change leadership because they may be inexperienced
Amazing Video
I don't have confidence nor do I trust politicians even pap leaders!
The point is the older electorate vote on the basis of nostalgia & not on harsh reality. Why jack up the GST by 2% amidst rising food & oil prices & global chain disruption due to Ukraine-Russia war etc. The 2& GST rise shows: a) Pappies dun care & b) It signals a possible emptying treasury which the older electorate dont want to find out and know. Then what abput Income-Allianz deal? How could Chee HT argued in support of it earlier without first doing his homework & finding out about the capiral extraction plan? That saga shows that the Talk Dowm from a group who brand themselves as "elites" on "Mt Olympus' should be jettisoned by younger electorate choosing political representatives who genuinely care about Sgreans. Ok Lawrence Womg!!!
Brave of you to assume he didn't know. Would those on top make a decision they are ignorant about or do they act to enrich themselves?
God is great and mighty. Let's see what will happen??? 2025 Good bye Proud World.

Poor getting more poor. Cleaner wages, starting from 1,500. Old people still limping to work for money
Some even still working despite in their 70s
Till now I don’t see any of the 4G ministers able to lead the country. Although they are trying very hard to please the citizen. Example giving out free voucher to the citizen but all these already made known to the people of Singapore. Today give you a chicken wing but few months later, they will get back a whole chicken from you. What the point?? This is making the citizen getting more and more angry with the current government.
👌👍Singapore is the most stable nation in the world, politically, economically and socially.
Low Thia Kiang handed his leadership of the Workers Party , quite happy with what the PAP and WP had achieved.
Lee Hsien Loong handed his leadership to Lawrence
Wong.
LHL retired and take on the😀Senior Minister position . He is also quite confident that his successor will lead the nation well.
‼️‼️⁉️❓There are a,lot of political parties in Singapore. Singapore doesn't need so many of them.
Harris Ng YM 👻😄☕🍰🙏👌💞
I am voting Pritam, yes inam in Aljuned. Even if i was in Pasir Ris Punggol, i will vote dumbo Desmond. I am doing so because i just don't think PAP is SG future.
Looking at Malaysia, no matter how f uped the politics there is and how corrrupted Mahathir is, his second legacy is giving Malaysia a proper foundation for a Democratic Republic. Give Malaysia time, with the Anawar era screw ups out hopefully soon, Malaysia direction will change.
Now question is, can Singapore be as daring as Malaysia.😊
All the best to Singapore. I think Singaporeans are wise in their choice and prefer a stable government.
Yes. We are unhappy with the rise of Almost everything, except our salary!
Is Any opposition ready to take over the government? Listen to the people cries. Lookout and go to the roots of the problems.
Learn, and work together as Team Singapore!!
Kingdom Fall when they
Don't trust and fight each other.
One issue's of discontentment, Ministers salaries...
Need to be dealt.
To have more Iron, take supplements😅
The PAP will still form the Government no matter how much gains the Opposition may make.
Lawrence Womg is just jacking the Opposition up and despite recent setbacks it will be awhile before they make decisive gains to be able to form the next Government.
Lawrence was never a bigwig. So far, he looks more like a moderate guy to lead Singapore. I wonder who wrote his speeches because he always needs to read from a script. I almost faint when he needs to read from a prepared script when our less successful neighbour PM can just speak off his cuff. One PM earns so much money but talk like a school boy against another that earns no salary from a country that Singaporean thought is second rate speaks like a pro. I feel more ashame of the higher earning PM. The teleprompter PM.
Housing expensive, car expensive and even hawker food is so expensive where people goes on social media to complain. The aspiration of Singaporean is being undermined by these factors. Most Singaporean cannot do worthy jobs because they face stiff competition from incoming talents and they end up in the gig industries doing PHV and delivery. Luckily these industries still remain with Singaporean and PR. If PAP becomes more dominant then I think they will even allow foreigners to invade these gig jobs.
High COE prices are causing the people to be very agitated especially with MRT breaking down now and then.
Not sure if PAP will lose its dominant but it is harder for it to outdo their past election results.
Anyway best of luck to the PAP.
I am not a political prople so from my view as long as whother bring this state make Singaporean first and make the Singapore honest leadership make economy growth safer no racist no nonsence follow the law job securityç and good listener justice and address Singaporean first puting all race together Chinesd Malay Indian and other is good.As Singaporean we not only for ourselve but for all

The govt has done great for the people...helping those in needs...creating jobs...handle well during covids.LKY..GCT..LHL has made Singapore a nice place to live.We need good PM to lead Singappore face any problems that arise.As a minority Muslim Singaporean i am proud to be a citizen of this great nation treated fairly in every aspect of life.We live in harmony and respect each other culture.I am confident under the leadership of PM Lawrence Wong and his 4G team Singapore can continue to be a great nation.
Lawrence Wong have beem increasing all taxes and prices of all necessary commodity charges. i.e. housing, water, gas, transport, vehicle and list of items. He can pretend that is not the cause. Pretending to be not knowing the problem. Blaming that, it is a global issues.
VTO!!!
1. NEVER TAKE SINGAPORE'S SUCCESS FOR GRANTED....
2. DO NOT THINK THAT ANY POLITICAL PARTY CAN PROPERLY RULE THE COUNTRY , ESPECIALLY THE TINY AND FRAGILE ISLAND ...
Where is gracious society? HDb loses its aim to basic provide housing
absolutely, nowadays people are seeing HDB as an investment just like private property and the government do nothing to stop it and their usual excuse is let the market decide.
They better provide affordable HDB housing, even now government grants, you still need to pay 200k for a 4 room flat
30 years ago, a 4 rm flat in Tampines was already around 100k.. Are you expecting to pay $200?😅
@yoyolexy now the HDB price is getting insane, it cost more than half a million easily, some location is even higher, HDB supposed to be affordable public housing, how to survive when our median salary is this low and need to pay half a million mortgage
@@jwanglerz8500you are taking about resale flats ... Buying direct from HDB is still affordable
@jwanglerz8500 Oi, HOW'S Yr math ❓
Did you Notice All HDB house owner SELLERS LOSING money when they SELL 🤑🤪❓
ARH you will die die sure ❤️ Forest City which you can live there FOREVER 🥰, like ALL the buyers who made BIG proofits😳
@@yoyolexy We are not expecting to pay $200. but 50-100% increase in price in a few years is definitely UNACCEPTABLE for a PUBLIC HOUSING
The opposition can dreams on,get your house in order 1st,get creditable leaders to joins and able to contribute,then may be,may be beyond 2030,for now PAP will still rules next 5 year
Where does this guy get the idea ?
Receiving hangouts…like beggars. If citizens are doing well don’t need it.
GST, HDB, transportation, utilities bills, aligning with CCP, medical costs, Allianz issue, elitism, lost sight of looking out for citizens, lost of Neptune, Chartered Industries, looking at current Scoots and SIA,
I don’t think it will be voted out any time soon
Nonsense!
PAP frequently highlights potential economic repercussions of voting for opposition parties, such as concerns about foreign investment, job losses, and the management of public funds. They argue that a change in government could disrupt Singapore's economic growth and stability. Not wanting opposition to even have equal seats in parliament! They have hold the similar fear tactics on voters , warns that a politically divided parliament could lead to inefficiency and gridlock, making it harder to pass important legislation. This narrative can instill a fear of a lack of progress in governance if opposition parties are given significant power. But forgetting citizens are equally disappointed and disgusted at PAP force policies that are disadvantages to citizens and Singapore being pushed out to them!
@@Ken-g8p Which policies are disadvantageous to Singaporeans? A good government cannot always listen to the people because people by nature are greedy. Most people aspire to own a car so should the government keep car prices low to show that they are listening? What is going to happen to the roads if almost everyone can own a car? Many people want to withdraw all their cpf early. Does it mean that the government does not care about its people by insisting on the current policy? Who will the people look for when they have no money and can't work? I do feel that a change of government will have a significant impact on Singapore's economic progress and stability because none of the opposition parties are ready to take over. Even WP, the strongest opposition party has said it's not ready to take over
@ Housing Policies: The Housing providing affordable public housing claiming by HDB. However, people feel there are not enough flexible options for young couples, and many struggle with rising property prices, making homeownership difficult.
Transport Policies: Public transport in Singapore has also been a source of frustration. People expressed concerns about rising fares, overcrowded buses and trains, and the need for improvements in service quality.
Social Welfare: Although the government has programs to assist those in need, critics argue that these programs are not enough. Citizens needed more support for lower-income individuals and families.
Political and Civil Liberties: The strict laws governing freedom of speech, assembly, and political opposition have attracted criticism. Many citizens and activists are calling for greater freedoms and a more open political environment.
Talking about COE, people feel that the policies have not effectively addressed this problem, leading to frustration with their daily commutes. COE and ERP systems are not just about traffic management, but also serve as revenue generators for the government. The high fees associated with COEs and ERP charges create a perception that the government profits from citizens' needs to travel.
You mentioned CPF, One of the main frustrations is that CPF savings cannot be fully withdrawn at retirement age. Instead, they are meant to provide a steady income for retirees through the CPF Life scheme, they should have the freedom to access their savings as they see fit, rather than being restricted to prevent potential misuse. Government never helps those in deep shit because of overspend at own actions! people prefer to have the autonomy to manage their finances and make decisions about their savings without government intervention.
We are not a communist country and we don't obey rules by government that hold such logic. We have our rights and chosen this government in running the country, if there are things not right we as citizens have to sound out and vote in another!
@ A list of it, simply the Frequent fare hikes leading to public anger, especially not aligned with service improvements. The rest just excuses. We are not a communist maxims country! Citizens have every right to voice out the disagreement and expression of the difficulties they face everyday lives. Government not doing what they are doing, gave every right to be voted out, simple as that.
Voting for the MIW means guaranteed loss of foreign investment (Shell MNC kicked out), job losses (how many locally born citizens fired while most jobs created for CECA), and the management of public funds (waste money on mayors and founder's memorial). Communicate with your vote.
@@Quest3Games How many 'locally born citizens' have been fired?
Are you sure LW dealt with the covid-19 pandemic competently? Many questions remain unanswered about the safety of the experimental mRNA covid vaccines. Also, the high excess deaths has not been properly addressed!
he dealt with Covid-19 pandemic 'competently' by forcing everyone to take vaccines and ordering the limit of number of people gathering. That's not handling competently. That's handling with force and threat.
over regulated policies would see the new generation to vote out their ruling party since 1959 ...
Those opposition coalitions the video mentioned are just punching bags.
The only likely credible opposition will be WP as they has the experience.
However, this video does not take into account of the many issues over the year, such as the increase in GST, the law suit of the Leader of Opposition, the handout of the upcoming financial budget announcement.
Thus, take the video with pinch of salt hah.
Clickbait! There will be no shift from the rock solid 60% consistent traditional support for the PAP plus 90% representation in parliament. There are no indicators of a structural shift on tbe ground. All major concerns continue to be addressed from Day 1 of the last GE right up to the upcoming GE 2025. The battle at every GE has always been to win over the middle 20% swing votes. In GE 2025, should the PAP capture 70% of the national votes, it'll be considered a solid mandate for the new PM Lawrence Wong. At 65++%, we could say it's a resounding support. This is the more likely outcome for GE 2025.
Don't be cocksure..
There's the Silent majority
Is my post deleted?
Sir Singapore Belongs To
People Action Party Which
Belongs To Our Founding
Father.
Do use common senses, the Singapore dollar is strong and with a free port. You will know why the inflation, who controls the pricing, and who is actually taking the profit. Narrative can be crafted and it's cheap to divert attention.
WP.... stand by me. Pap ...pay and pay...Lost control.😮😮😮😮
With the trade wars going on, to change an established and experience government is asking for disaster.
PM Lawrence Wong will garnered more votes for PAP than his predecessor I believe.
The PAP has made Spore into a City state not for Sporeans..
Cost of living continue to spiral, competition for real good jobs escalate even for our new graduates, population getting more grey without much support, private housing gets out of reach, Govt intolerance for public discourse on political issues, Govt mishandling of Ridout saga, TCJ ex
Speaker episode, ongoing quarrel between LHY n LHL on LKY Oxley debacle.
There's little Direction for Spore next 15yrs n beyond our children can look for forward to under LW 4Gs..
PAP must win at all costs if they are to govern. oppositions are
Can’t wait to see the puppy becoming the opposition
Another anti-Singapore video…😂😂😂
Singapore is on track to "matilah". That's been my thesis for years. Why? Because "We The People" have been far too busy chasing status and wealth, and not paying attention to the actions of the ruling political class. Getting the numbers of OPPOSITION up in the Parliament is a good start. It's not the only thing. Politics is DOWNSTREAM from culture. If better politics is a long-term goal, then the culture needs to change...and that means one individual at a time. Majulah or Matilah Singapura? Your choice. "The People Get The Government, and The Country They Deserve"
the vote is a start but what leads is our actions, innovations and ventures
a big thing to realise is in terms of the country the governement is not the Boss, We are cos we are the ones who put voted them in and we pay their salaries, the government are no different from the maids
The problem is the rich pay the most. The rich owns the maid.
Most are paid for by the rich, wealthy and successful people.
The tax that most people paid, can' even cover the cost of the road we walked on.
