Jamus wrapped up is impressive, he is definitely better than many pap candidates and hope he can be voted into the parliament
the best thing about him is he makes his point with a smile
Ya he also but Dr Chee was brilliant as well
Do Jamus defend AHTC $33 million saga? This is what hanging at people mind, especially Aljunied residents. Try asking Jamus, this question and see whether he is a dumb or a good talker?
@@MrLEECHINSOON you really don't have much in your pocket uh? Saying the same thing all the way
@@MrLEECHINSOON
What about the AIM company own by pap with a capital of 2 dollars that started this AHTC issue ?
Your mine is filled with anti oppo sentiments that prevent you from seeing this kind of healthy debates amongst the rival political parties, this is the type of political scene we want to see in Singapore. Treat each other with respect no matter what background you come from.
We need this man in Parliament! Voters of Sengkang GRC residents pls send Jamus Lim to Parliament! Thks!
This is how a debate should be, everyone respect each person space to speak and wait for their turn to voice their views, unlike those in other countries where debate can become painful to watch. This is civilised and constructive conversation.
Well this is after all live national broadcast to all over the world.
If you behave like Ah Beng and Ah Seng, you will be shot down. Remember, every 4-5 years we have new young voters. The younger gen won't want to see any scuffle, fights and screaming as it's a big put off to them. We are civilised people, so we all wish everything can be solve like a true gentlemen.
Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to fear. Fear leads to suffering. Quote from Yoda.....
@@danlovesayu Broadcast to all over the World?
I am sure other than Malaysia (maybe), no other countries in the World are interested in Singapore election. It's like you will probably not be interested in Pakistan's election (for example)
Yes we are leaving Ina respectful and peaceful country. People just waiting to create unnecessary problem. The com care is taking care the old people. No one left out. People in overseas know all this , don’t understand why people here don’t know. They want a country with corruption and fights every.,.
@Jack Sparrow As Malaysian, I would agree we need to improve our debating skill.
Danny Danny well I’m a young voter and so are the rest of my friends. We have a group chat which we discuss about it. Since you old uncle, you prefer to use your fist. We use our brains and win a battle without lifting a finger. Times have change old dog. You need to keep up with latest.
"Deny them the blank cheque" well said!
To our opposition parties, please collaborate to organise more of such debates on our own platform, discuss a different topic every episode. We must keep political discourse alive after GE.
Invite Heng Swee Keat to join us. Wanna find out more about his East Coast Plan.
Hahaha east coast plan haha
Do subscribe to SDP, PSP & WP.. they did do what you share on their own channel on you tube... as for PAP... as resident n the people of Singapore always say only can meet them 5 years 1 time... benefit of doubt..
I think the East Coast Plan is to let Tharman Shanmugaratnam to be next PM, and there's only one way to make sure that's the outcome by voting xD
@@za7v9ier As much as I hate Tharman and PAP, I'll freaking gladly take him over HSK all day long.

Prof. JAMUS LIM
ELECTED MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT
SENGKANG GRC
Sengkang Voters make it happen!
This guy is awesoome
Power Bro
Oh he's for sengkang? Making voting much easier now.
Very Very Impressive
We Definitely need him in Parliament
He has the attribute of a good debater. This is the type needed to be in parliament to do a check on the ruling party.
Yeah yeah I support you 💯
We will vote WP in Seng Kang GRC to present our voices.
Please your vote dont represent me.
Yeah go friend go.... lucky you
👍👍👍
Nice make it happen bros
Please make it happen ! He is damn Good !
Dr Chee CJ, Jamus Lim, Francis Yuen, we need your Voices in the parliament! Very impressive, Well done! That's the way our parliament should be! All the Best in GE2020!💪💪💪
Deny them a blank cheque... this guy is spot on. So much grounds. That is what I want to say lah
On the other hand, you have a two party system like the US, they are so political, arguing all the time, few or no cheques get signed. Or even worse, in some countries, the cheques go into somebody's pocket.
@@timvdio On the other hand, you have a one party system like China and North Korea, the dictators are tyrants, there is no argument against the leaders and full of yes man who are well trained in kissing up to their superiors and silencing citizens who voice up against them all the time(similar to our 1 party system here), he/she controls everything in the country and the cheques all go into their pocket.
@@hibaricloudz98 Precisely my point. Who in this gov has put cheques into his or her pockets? How to compare with North Korea? Singapore has Communist tyrants? They will be voted out. We have minimal corruption as of now, unless you can name who and what they did. Totally agree with this blank cheque argument in a tyrannical context, but we are not. And so much $$ had been spent on the development and good for the country... and quickly.
@@timvdio why dont you give me a blank cheque to write whatever i want ?
Who are you trying to bullshit here.
You forget they help themselves with pay several times more than usa president!
You forget they commit breach of trust in not returning our cpf at 55.
You forget they fail to deliver the swiss standard of living .
You forget they cause old hdb to plunge with the zero value when lease expire policy.
Wheres the accountability???
Its because we gave them full mandate.
And they abuse this full mandate to live like a king treating citizens like slaves.
Instead of the gov serving the citizens.
Its time we get our rights back and not give them a blank cheque.
@@timvdio oh please, so much $$$ had been in their pockets from their "performance pay" + "bonus" + "basic salary", please name me a country with higher paying politicians that has part timers working? and please do not give me the bullshit that its because Singapore's GDP is high. if gov is earning 150k per mth and there are still citizens earning 1.2k per mth, after you divide the number will still be high. how can you vote out a secretly communist party? they control the media, they hire IBs to defend them online, they fear monger just like you when it comes to election, saying that they need a clear mandate to lead. what nonsense, they do not need a clear mandate to lead, they need a clear mandate to do whatever they want and make whatever laws that favor them such as POFMA etc.
Jamus is very impressive. Hope he gets elected into parliament.
Jamus worked on policy issues at the Institute for Southeast Asian Studies, international development at the World Bank, and portfolio management at Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. He is an Associate Professor of Economics, ESSEC Business School
pls vote him in...bright guy can bring diff ideas for the country..
Most importantly he came from a humble background
Awesome 👍 Time for change in Seng Kang!
Looks like Vivi was kinda impressed by Jamus and wished he was in PAP. Haha
How come PAP got 4.5 minutes while Opposition gets only 1.5 minutes???
because PAP had to address 3 oppositions, that's why he was given three times more the amount of time.
Since 3 opposition parties * 1.5 minutes = 4.5 minutes PAP :)
Doggies get more
@@danielbezalel lame
@@megalaikannairam8319 imagine 3 people given 1 minute to debate with you, and you're given 1 minute to debate with 3 people. not fair, isn't it?
Dr Vivian, “Nonsense”. Loved it! Jamus nailed this too.
Yes, deny them a blank cheque, PAP supporter here.
Its actually v interesting to watch the discussion between VB and JL! It seems like both of them enjoyed the debate as well. Ive always been so proud of VB as our minister. JL seems like a refreshing alternative voice
Opposition: 1.5 minutes; PAP: 4.5 minutes. Regardless of the apparent lack of fairness, the longer doesn't mean the better.
Yes i agree. I think each opposition should be allowed 1.5 minutes to attack PAP. But Pap should only have 30 seconds to reply to each. Not enough time his problem.
@@supercritic100 But if you don't have proper time to explain and elaborate, how are you going to answer?
FYI the pap had to answer to all 3 parties in 4.5 minutes. Imagine the important ideas Dr Vivian had to cram into that timing 😂He did a good job I'd say. Heck I can't do that, can you?
Jacky Zhao's comment shows that opposition supporters can't do simple math and have zero logic 😂thank god they're not in power
Not only does he get the longest time, he is also the only one to get the final say for all questions, giving the oppositions no chance to debate. Not exactly fair to get the final words and longest time
Brilliant debate by the opposition guys. Factual , eloquent and full of constructive ideas! True blue Singaporeans are proud of you guys. Sincerely hope that all of you get elected. Singapore needs high quality representatives like you to change the lopsided parliament that is full of Yes Men ! Well done!
Yes; dear pap, we have too many foreign PMETs doing jobs that singapore can do, u all are issuing work passes too Generously... my direct superior is a foreign pmet n his job; I can see many Singaporean’s can do... just a people manager with bad people and technical skills
It really feels like your own parents opening the door for a burglar to come in to steal your iPhone 11 Pro while you were out working.
Have you thought that maybe your job only existed in the first place, because the government allows open door policy for big international company to come here and set up a local entity. If you start restricting their hiring, they may simply just move out. You cant have all the cakes... The world is not as simple as you think...
@@Glenhu123 its not restrict their hiring. Its our gov does not bother to make sure singaporean are given priority.
Go learn how australia makes sure their citizens are given priority.
@@LeeSkJohn-sv8wi how is 'giving priority to Singapore' any different from 'restricting their hiring'? if you start telling international companies that they have to hire only Singaporean, many will simply move other countires. This is just the reality of the world. The government has protected singapore job, by putting up requirment such as for every 3 singaporean being hired, 1 foreigner can be hired, isnt that enough for you?

Singapore is not PAP and PAP is not Singapore and let's make this very clear. From past experiences, when you're unfortunately retrenched (more accurately your role is being replaced) , can PAP told the company to return you to the job or immediately find you another comparable job? Therefore, the life, jobs and future of Singaporean belong only to Singaporean and not PAP. Again this must be clear. Only Singaporean can make Singapore great again especially the life, jobs and future of Singaporean. Pioneer Singaporean have make Singapore great and current generation will strive to continue to do so.
👍👏

can PAP told the company to return you to the job or immediately find you another comparable job? YES. Can i dont pay income tax then? what is the use of me paying tax when i cannot guarantee a comfortable life?
faithpig mj Ask that to literally every country in the world. You pay taxes because it is your duty, not because it guarantees you a cushy spot in Sentosa Cove.

About the wealth tax that Dr Chee suggested, why is PAP so defensive and protective about the wealthy and not having a more equitable distribution of wealth and a more compassionate society? Do we want to be another Hongkong with such great disparity of wealth to create the breeding grounds for the social unrest we see there?
Good question. Why not the wealth tax? Why abolished estate duties? Why not increase the taxes of the rich or make it more progressive?
I suggest you study basic fundamental of economic to understand why taxing the wealth is a bad idea in capitalism.
Because it makes it more divisive by creating a much visible line between the wealthy and rest. The wealthy will be more vocal and discriminatory against the rest if they feel they have to bear more taxes. Its natural human reaction. They should instead do a VAT on luxury goods where they tax on consumption so they dont need to increase GST across the board but more on things wealthy people buy.
Vivan is good atcontoll the debate, but he is not giving real answers to oppo questions, seem like avoiding the question s
It's call political speak.
He is a pap assassin send to batter the opposition. Remember politics is a competition. To win everyone will bring out a trump card and yes politics is dirty.
True
WP speaks well
1 question for me
Why lky promise singaporean 55 years old will get back all their cpf money
Why now this government broken the promise
Don’t use one bamboo to beat up the whole ship people
Its a breach of trust. Why ? Because we gave them full mandate to do whatever they want.
And they abuse it by treating our money as if its theirs.
East Coast has a plan, 100% WP vote
the wage growth has not outstripped the cost of living. so you cannot look at one number and ignore the other number
Your cost of living is the wage of another party. If what you say is universally true, what has happened to the money?😃
@@archer9322 the cost of living does not only go to someone else's wages, but also the profits/material costs of the companies involved in providing those goods and services. and those costs also include whatever taxes and levies which are imposed by the government. hence , indirectly some of that cost goes back to the govt coffers. pretty simple thing that you couldnt figure out yourself.
@@archer9322 LOL as krugman said, 'my spending is your income, your spending is my income'
Spot on by Prof Jamus. Did his debate way better than any of them. I'll be stoked to see him as a future leader of WP should the time be up for Pritam and his team.
Bloody shame that he's not in my SMC, but hey, if Sengkang can grab the GRC, that'll be awesome.
That said, please don't bloody vote for PAP and their Blank Cheques!
So touching of what vivian share! Yes! One singapore !
Ah...an admission there was lack of foresight and mistakes by pap. Thus opposition is needed for check and balance as well as infusion of fresh ideas. Thank you Vivian
Aside from whom you like or dislike, this has been an excellent debate
Dr Vivian, maybe you got the point that not to abolish the GST, but I could not find a reason why the GST cannot be abolish for the essential items for Singaporean, especially for the low income Singaporean. As we know the GST rebate is just the rebate of the 2 percent increment but not for the total of 9 percent GST, not withstanding that the government do give rebate to the utility, but please do remember the rebate do not increase when the water fee was increased by 30 percent plus GST is equal to 37 percent, except for this year which was because of the convid 19. I would like to be correct that the GST figure is fix with variable calculation and it will not abolish since DR Vivian had said. But the government did not assure the rebate will be for live time. And will you give your assure that in the coming future there won't be any inflation hike which the GST will eventually increase accordingly together with the price of an item to be increase. And by way the reason for DR Chee to be repeating the issue is because the issue that was discuss or debating is a repeating issue. Thank You. And Pardon me for any impolite.
MVP Goes to Prof Jamus Lim and Dr Chee
When is the next debate? this is so refreshing , we should have more
Man of the match is Jamus of WP. Cheer.....
Also Dr,chee
GIVE THE MAN JAMUS A CHANCE, LIKE THIS COMMENT IF YOU THINK HE SHOULD BE GIVEN A CHANCE IN PARLIAMENT
If i'm hearing right, why the opposition given only a minute and a half to wrap up. Wherelse, PAP given four minute and a half. Why there is a difference of time for the opposition to wrap up?
I keep repeating the video n listen hard the time given by the host.
Stop speaking for the elites and MNCs. Speak for those living below the bread line, and those whose CPF is rightfully theirs promised at 55! Lower the GST % and housing / transportation and Healthcare!
Bala - "(We have) honesty and complete transparency."
Tell me why our late elected President Ong Teng Cheong tendered his resignation. WHY?
U just need to listen to opposition comment. PAP u can skip !!! We hear too much of their bs
Great.. Listen only to what u want.. And yet u complain govt doesn't listen to ppl.. Hypocrisy much??
@@simonlynn4241 yo no offence but many Singaporeans ask too much. People dont work hard enough and complain they have no jobs.
Hello des chan i LOVE the PAP from your friendly neighborhood chinese.
Please vote Dr chee. He has come a long way. No more lies from pap. We need a strong voice to be heard
Now, we all know why we vote and want something to change :
*COST OF LIVING*
I don't find any issue with cost of saving, I can saved only half of my salary every month. Maybe you should try to get a proper education and a proper job.

if there is a longer debate and more clarifications will be better, each of the candidate should attend the debate, at least we understand what are you thinking about the future of singapore
Vivian said "this is a tough world", and I agree that for all ordinary Singaporeans it is tough. But it is not tough for him and his minister buddies who earn exorbitant salaries while the average Singaporean live on scraps!
Take a look at heartland malls on weekends even now in phase 2, filled with Singaporeans dining in restaurants...
Living on scraps?? Looks like someone living blindly..
Simon Lynn Thats because they are at the top end of this disgusting income inequality Singapore is facing....Don’t forget those who are homeless, the 60yo cleaners who had to work for $700/month because that’s what they need to survive...Sure many are in restaurants because the poor are often left behind. Leave no man behind ? Please...look at the poor in Singapore and think again.
@@weijieishere homeless in Singapore? Do u have any idea how many schemes are in place to allow citizens to have a roof over their heads??
If someone is truly homeless in sg, its either by choice or because they don't know how/where to seek help or aren't even bothered to ask for it...
There elderly are being helped by the govt as well.. Where do u think CHAS cards/comcare/silver support comes from??
I'm not saying there aren't any poor ppl in sg.. I'm saying that to say average Singaporeans are living on scraps is complete and utter BS...
@@weijieishere also u talk abt a "disgusting income equality".. Let me ask u a simple question.. If u and i both went to school, i slacked off, u worked hard and 30 years later, i complain abt income inequality between me (who may be doing some kind of manual work thanks to my early years of slacking) and u (who may have turned out to be a businessman of some kind) then whose fault is it??
Would it make u happy if i get paid the same as u but have put in less effort my entire life in order to be successful??
@Simon Lynn On the "disgusting income inequality" you responded to earlier concerning user Wei Jie Lee, your analogy provided is the epitome of daftness. A goldfish can take you on in a debate and win without trying.
Firstly, what makes you think an industrious person will surely see success 30 years on? You think there aren't other factors at play? You really think that just because one has worked hard earlier in life, he or she will be granted a solid remuneration package automatically? Ever heard of the survivorship bias? Maybe check that out instead of existing as a laughing stock. There are so many who worked harder than you could ever imagine and still end up poor. Why, because of factors such as risk, oppourtunities, luck and connections. You conveniently disregarded these factors in your example. Why are you being partial here? Lack of grey matter in the brain that you can't stay objective?
With the above said, the same can be said of a slacker. A slacker can may up affluent 30 years down the road, why not? A stroke of good luck and other advantageous can get him or her to the top of the wealth ladder without significant effort.
You arrived at your final sentence in your analogy where you asked, "then whose fault is it?"
Why would this be the individual's fault if he or she worked tirelessly and still ended up poor? Is the system pushed out by the ruling party not with a scintilla of fault? Valid it certainly is to mention the "disgusting income inequality" gap among locals. Simply put, not all poor are poor because of a deficit of effort invested.
Damn, you're dumb beyond belief. You mother should have swallowed you. What a shame.
If this were a fair debate to begin with, with the dissolution of parliament, each party would be given the same amount of time to speak.
But let's be honest here, with so much data at PAP's disposal, of course he was going to ask the oppositions about the information they do not have.
Had the oppositions have the same resources (access to information included, i.e reserves) as the PAP, would they not have a clearer picture of how they would implement their policies?
It seems like only 1 party knew about how the sequence of the debate was going to be, of course he would already prepare his questions to the other members.
Does the opposition in any country have full information about the inside scoop of the running of a country? The answer is no. That is why you see in many countries, when the opposition do get elected in to form the government, they invariably give the excuse that they did not expect the situation to be worse than they thought and because of that, they are unable to deliver on their pre-election promises.
@@eduardoking8402 What's worse than those HAVING the data and screwing up nevertheless?
Do explain CECA agreement. How much of our jobs which can be undertaken by our own people are now given to the people of India? How have we benefited in $&¢? And who exactly has benefited?
We want details?
Dr Jamus & the rest are good..but I like more how Dr Vivian explained & answered the questions...
of course lah... he's given so much more time . The rest has to rush through.
Dr Vivian has to debate to 3 people...he has more wisdom...
Why isn't People's Voice invited??? And why is Bala interrupting when Dr Chee is talking???
Scared of Tean
Likely Because he is rude and full of himself and has no respect for others.
And u didn't comment when Dr Chee interrupted Dr VB? Lol
J C this is a debate , all should show respect, look at how many time VB has interrupt Dr Chee and using impolite word like “cheap” a person that show no respect to others is VB , a minister that can not control the budget and over spent with large in Youth Olympic.
If in any organization he should be fired. To put this on record ask any corporate world. But he still hold the seats and is no made accountable of the mistake he has made. These are all tax payer money, as a kind reminder.
C. M. Yeo Pray tell, which organisation will fire someone because they interrupted someone.
Strange that everyone has 1.5 mins, but another gets 4.5 mins? Shouldn't all candidates get fair amount of time to present & close?
Where is Ah Heng? Why don’t ask Ah Heng represent PAP? Our Deputy PM of Singapore. Or get Josephine Teo.
She is stuck in a small space with some business to attend to.

But our current ministers and MP have no paycut..... Let's not fall in words... Anymore... We need more oppositions to voice for us as in for Singapore 🇸🇬 citizens only
Dr Chee, Dr Lim and Mr Yuen were all very impressive with concrete plans not just for east coast, and articulate them well! We have very credible opposition unlike what the media has been projecting the opposition to be.
We need their voices to ensure better policies for us, Singaporeans and not just allow one single idea to be passed without any counter arguments or checks by their own ppl, many of whom are just likely to be Yes men!
Viven nothing new same old noise. Water tax 30% ?? Uncalled for.
Good debates by all 4 parties
Discussion before implementation is the ways to GO
Firstly, im standing at no one's sides to say this. But we need to admit that we do have one of the best healthcare systems in the world. Not many countries provide that much subsidies for people and i feel that the PAP has done a good job in healthcare. To say that the PAP did not do enough and more should be done in Healthcare is completely inaccurate.
Secondly, people repeatedly comment that Dr.Vivian is just repeating his points through each GE but aren't these evidence that the PAP has made actions in contrary to opposition party claims? Its a reminder that the PAP has actually done something.
Thirdly, there are always people who want more. The real thing is have u acknowledged what your government has done for you rather than focusing on your personal benefits. Yes, the government's utmost priority is the people but being over the limits may in turn cause adverse effects to the economy or the welfare of certain sectors of citizens. Thinking rationally, the PAP has done so much that it has made Singapore a pleasant and peaceful place to live in.
I really admire Jamus for his speech, he certainly is a PM material and i believe he can take the country further but ultimately citizens, think as a whole and not for yourself only. Life is never going to be easy, if you think life can be easy with government giving you incentives and you yourself not doing anything then it is the wrong idea.
Lastly, i also want to recognise all opposition parties' efforts they seems to put in lots of effort for this GE. They have massive confidence in their speeches unlike some PAP candidates. I think this is one thing the PAP should learn to not to underestimate anyone cause it seems as if the PAP knows they are going to win and therefore come to this GE with minimal preparations.
If there is much subsidies for health care why increase the Medusave max cap every years?
Jamus is PM material you mean he will become prime minister one day?
@BT Carmo they increase the cap so that more people can benefit = they are doing more.
When i say Jamus is PM material, he has the qualities of a prime minister. Im not saying or predicting that he will be PM in future but if he becomes one, he will do a good job
If they are repeating points it is exactly because they've done nothing and the problem still persists
Our healthcare system hardware and software provided by the healthcare workers are indeed very good. It's the hard work of the people on the ground that makes it good.
The funding of our healthcare is our much bragged about 3M system. Medisave, Medishield, Medifund. The first two are actually your own money and the last only a very few percent of people qualify. So in the end we pay mostly for our selves. But the government does provide subsidies for the subsidized patients. So for those in subsidized hospital wards , they do "benefit" from those.
However, medishield life premiums are on the rise. Even MOH will not deny it. When u are young, it's not an issue because mostly u don't go to hospitals and when u do, it's covered by company insurance. And the premiums is very low when young.
But when u grow old , the premiums go up significantly. Most retirees don't have much money in their medisave and depend mainly on their children to pay for them. This is not right. The government should make their premiums lower.
@@btcarmo5356 Inflation also affects medicine, medical equipment, medical supplies...etc.
Because he is rebutting and replying to 3 opposition plus his own 1 minute. 3+1 =4 mins.
For example, if balakrishnan faces only 1 opposition speaker its, 1 min each , fair.
A lot of people like Jamus Lim but don't you think his policies are a bit too far left? I agree with him on some points but he is speaking more in theory than in practicality. I think raising wages will cripple SME's and raise unemployment and the man from PSP said that SME's are responsible for 70% of the employment. I agree with DR. Chee on his proposal to decrease unemployed by giving Grants to the unemployed to start businesses. However, I am not sure if the state can manage to create social benefits for the elderly, especially within hard times like this. I think the main focus should be increasing Capitalism and putting hold on foriegn workers entry to Singapore. And I say this as a foreigner.
HSK should Show Leadership and lead the Live debate
Else how to prove his Worth as a Potential PM ?
Show his east coast got a plan
He is too busy making his East Coast plan la...
oppositions done well with such short time allocated. well done
No matter how anyone see this unfair debate, the agenda seems to be informed and well prepared beforehand for PAP. Feels as if you are right if you have good grades and you're trash if you're from ITE. That's what the PAP make me feel lol.
insider information?
I agree.
Of course they are informed well before hand because these things that the opposition parties brought up are EXISTING issues.
The whole point of this debate is to clarify these issues are benefiting the country and the people who live in it.
If they aren't well informed about internal issues that Singapore is facing, the people voted the wrong party in the last GE😂
Is Jamus saying for the past 61 yrs, Singapore voters have been given the PAP a blank cheque and resulted in a bad outcome. Now that he stands on the opposition side, he can speculate about issueing of blank cheque to the PAP which will result in a bad outcome now. I think the voters has given a blank cheque to the WP at Aljunied GRC.
What Jamus is saying is there must be checks and balances. Remember 2011, the government "listened" to the people and soften some policies. Without opposition pressuring them, u think they would have done so? They keep saying people have given them the mandate therefore what they do is right .
The PAP has done well is for everyone to acknowledged. But are they perfect? OF course not right? So if the opposition can push them to be better , why not?
@@talkcocklikesingsong At least better than the blank cheque issued to WP in Aljunied GRC. Don't play play with check and balance when the future is very unstable and the current problems caused by the convid 19 is still on going. It is too risky for Singapore. I hope more voters will vote for PAP for continuity. As for you, the choice is yours.
Challenges are there ⚡, so face it. I hope we have equal seats of opposition and PAP this round.
Thank you very much in PAP Singapore
Even PAP recognises that there will be more opposition in the next Parliament!
Jamus is so positive and make serious stuff a bit cheered up
the video image is too poor, you need to fix it more
will we have another episode of this political debate?
Clear transparency u said vivian?den tell us whats ho ching pay?
Mohamed Raffid Zainal Abidin . Very Good Q! Vivian:unless we lose the 2/3 majority on 10 Jul, you can LOONG LOONG if you want to HOW MUCH is HO CHING’s PAY!
Dr. Jamus Lim brings up some very prominent and important points. Well-spoken and a bright candidate that is capable of introducing a plethora of modern and effective ideas. 👏
this is a civil debate, whether who u support or not, this point is undeniable. thank you, this is how political debates should be!!!
To this day, anyone knows what's the East Coast Plan?
Hope we can have people like Minister Vivian and MP Jamus in our parliment to represent us 🥳
Dnt like this pappy puppy...enough is enough.....getlost
Hahaha puppy I'm 😂😂😂
The sound of the videos is not good
Dr Vivian Balakrishnan is very eloquent and quick witted had represented us in the recent CNN news live interview.. not all can do le. 😀
IMO, Dr Chee is one of the sincere and strongest candidates by far. I dont think I can come this far like him after so many years of bullied by the ruling party. During the 90s, We only have the national TV and papers for news, and Dr Chee and all the other opposition candidates were mug sling and kicked like street dogs. Dr Chee was branded as a traitor, a liar all becos he was very vocal. He speaks up but kena verbally hoot and sued jialat jialat.
All he wanted is to serve the nation and the people, nothing more. Remember, he is also someone's son, husband and a father. With his personal qualification and capability, he can juz simply walk away if not for the people. So voters, plz give him a chance to prove his worth. I'm sure you would find it rewarding. Ty
Vivian Balakrisnan didn't answer the questions. He side track and distract
Mr. Balakrishnan can the pap provide social financial help for the pioneer generation. Many have risked their lives when Singapore was at war
Already gave u Pioneer Generation CArd what. Still not enough? Not enough then vote opposition lor so they can ask more for you.
Zero attendances by MPs is zero debate in a parliamentary session. Each session carried huge cost to taxpayers in the past. There must be accountability.
No 10m? Liar! Why keep using falsehood? Want to scare people?
How sucessful are the policys inpremented
Well said, Jamus. "Denied them a blank cheque". Need your expertise in parliament. Vote wisely people.
Gst generates 11 billion? Where does this contribute to? Ministers pay n bonus? Or give back to citizens as vouchers? Means take right hand and give left hand back to some and balance goes? Hmmm........ I am not good in calculations.
An interesting debate.
60k of foreigners who lost their jobs..big deal huh.Couldn't care less about them to be honest.Infact we should release much more.
Why not about time you share with us the actual figure for us locals who have lost our jobs over the years since the get go?
@@eyeswideshut8110 Ready to die for us???lol...once they save enough they'll freaking leave everything behind and run back to their birth country.
@@eyeswideshut8110 And for the record I do not love our foreign friends.Not that I despise them.If that makes any sense.
SIR WHEN WILL i see you again Sir thank youbue
We gonna open 9% GST cheque very soon.... it will affect business contracts , sales , consumer products , taxes and such. Very worried
PAP is smart to send Dr Vivian to this. He's one of the few Well spoken and likeable PAP minister. He pointed out a few things that I believe he believes is true. For example "No 10 million". The question is whether his bosses and other colleagues feels the same way?? Is it really true that 10 million is not the plan?? I definitely heard of the plan for more than 6 million before the covid crisis came.
Then why Mr heng stated in future 10 Million in online article bro .. Falsehood I do not think so.. Pap Mr bala cannot answer question simple but he said no that one I feel relief.. At least we got clear pictures right ..
@@ashunknown9728 As I mentioned, even he say no, after election, his bosses say yes then how? PAP are quite famous for doing U turn and always "provide good reasons" to do so.
Great job ! Jamus !.
What I feel has not been touched on by the Opposition is that of the policy failures up till COVID-19 in January 2020 - I know that that coronavirus has been spreading in Wuhan a few months earlier - which has exposed the incompetence of the emperor with clothes policies. If the PAP is so confident about the soundness of its policies leading up to the current PREMATURE GE, then why conduct the GE in such a short time and preventing more robust debates and campaigning so that the electorate has more time to get to know various policies, including by the PAP and also by the Opposition.
Heng Bin this is because they've spent close to 100 billion dollars during this pandemic. Therefore it is crucial for them to win the election to be mandated in order to trigger theirs policies and to leech the money back from the citizens.
Anybody in the world will never advise anyone to issue a blank cheque, except here, the whole cheque book is given to the govt. And yet, the govt still expect it to be the ongoing practices from today's better read, news savvy and smarter Singaporean. Good grief!
To all opposition representative : talk is cheap....🤣🤣🤣
Also i think PSP and SDP got high chance too. Instead of just 2 parties.. now we might have 4 parties in the parliment after 10 Jul.
Many of the job PAP says is creating are short term such as safe distancing ambassadors etc and not covering enough on the arts side. .
All relief packages sound good but how much is actually dispensed and to who?
What's the efficacy of these measures in relieving, generating business and preparing the people for their livelihood after covid? .
The quickest source of funding and a good people binder would be to redistribute some of the minister's pay, which ranks highest in the world. Rule by example, instead of just asking poor landlords who still have mortgages to pay, to give free rental.
What about big corporations like banks who so far have not had to bear the costs of keeping small businesses alive. They continue to charge the usual interests, more if deferrals are requested, thereby squeezing every remaining drop of blood that's left of the SME and landlords of commercial properties who have to waive rental despite having lost employment income and now having no money to pay their mortgages?
Before you cast your vote, ask yourself🤔🤔🤔
"Is my life getting better or worse since GE2011 or GE2015?"
"Will my vote affect the next generation of Singaporeans especially your own children?"
These 2 questions will give the answer who you should vote🤔🤔🤔
my life getting harder...cost of living n medical cost up by min 15%...need two jobs to survice...😅

I skipped listening to the man-in-white.....
I only paid attention to the other 3.
Thats the problem.. You're only listening to what you want to hear, and not listening to the whole picture. Pls don't vote like the Americans
Confirmation bias. Typical
@@Penskeeee enough of men-in-white and their "stale version" .... If you know what I mean!
@@qhc8042.. Have been subjected to the "stale" version of the men-in-white for far too long.
Rather hear out the alternatives.
eh bala get 4 half minute?!
If ministers are not well paid, then talented ones might be inclined to switch to corporate jobs. It is a way to ensure that they do not sucuumb to unethical practices such as taking bribes.
The government and PAP are 2 different things. Past returns doesn't mean future returns. Heck, every investment you get into, that clause is there.
A party is a party, and any with the compassion and capabilities can contribute to the country.
We must stop using "opposition" to describe the other parties as they are equally competent of contributing to our country. "Opposition" is a linguistics tool to create a subtle notion to divide them from the rest of us.
Think carefully and vote wisely everyone!
Jamus sounds and talks uncanningly like that dissident Amos Yee, but 3000% more sensible...Jia yo Jamus. May the votes be with you and your party. If you guys are elected, please dont be a silent participant in parliament.
There is so much focus on specific point scoring arguments on both sides , much of it has been discussed and debated for a long time. What’s really at stake is whether the voting populace do believe that aggregation of power and opinion within a single political entity is really a good idea for the long term future of the country. The future of the world is wrought with great uncertainty and new challenges and past glories no longer guarantee future successes. Political structure in Singapore needs to embrace diversities of ideas and opinions and it matters not which political entity it emanates from.
Don't worry lah. PAP will still win a strong mandate to run the country. Hopefully WP and PSP win some seats to keep them on their toes. That's all they can do. They won't form the government.
