Lastly, as written previously here, various journalists be they from the government-controlled companies of SPH or Mediacorp, or the independent Yahoo news naively reported that announced policy changes marked “a new phase in engagement”. Anyone which had followed the news from the beginning of this year would know (as pointed out in the earlier link) that there was nothing new in the National Day Rally Speech. PM Lee was just announcing policies which was already reported on or strongly hinted at:
To conclude, what exactly is new in the PM’s national day rally speech which hasn’t already been announced earlier? I can find nothing new in it. All PM Lee did was to deliver a speech which highlighted all the policy changes which the government had either already announced or had strongly hinted they would change months before. There doesn’t appear to be anything new. So why the hype over the supposed Singaporeans-first flavour for most of the policy changes?
So dear relentlessly-positive folks, how many more mundane or mistaken instances of reform will you continue to hype up when little has really changed? Please don’t mistake PR spin as change. The PAP already has good spin doctors, they don’t need additional folks like yourselves to help carry their spin.
