'Astounding' that SDP believes character does not matter: Heng Swee Keat

"This means a person can lie, cheat or betray someone with impunity ... How are voters to believe what such politicians say or hold them accountable for their actions if they were running a town council?" says the Finance Minister.

I think the workload may be unevenly distributed. Perhaps 10% of them do 90% of the work and the rest are the jiak pah bo tai chi cho characters. The hard workers got no time to target others but the sibei eng ones go around shooting their mouths.

When Old Man and GCT ran the show, the cabinet members were not expected to do grassroots work to the extent that they now do. The PLps and the parliamentary and political secretaries would do the heavy lifting in the constituencies. The Minister would often grace important occasions. Sometime after GE2001, the deterioration at gross roots were noted and the decision was made to plaster each neighbourhood with massive banner and photos of MPs pretending to offer festive greetings. This was to compensate for the missing politicians at grassroots. Even the introduction of mayoral districts did not help.

Sometime in 2009, the PAP realised the ground was worsening and the cabinet was told to roll up their sleeves and do the spade work. Raymond Lim lost his job in 2011 because of this. So now there are 2 sets of workloads. The fact that Swee Keat was sleeping in the Branch Office during GE2015 speaks volumes.

LHL is an idiot. Spend close to $1b for PA grassroots, give the PLps perks and other incentives and now asking ministers to do the field work. If he sacked his wife, I am sure he would capture a significant share of the votes. If he sacked some of the PLps and truly making caring municipal council, there will be more votes.

Imagine Goh Keng Swee who was famous for not doing grassroots work but forced to do it. Jurong Industrial estate would only be a dream. The Bird Park and Zoo would not exist and the SAF would be the like its counterparts in the Philippines.

True, the heavyweights in Government should be mainly focussed on their job to ensure the smooth running of the country. They should not be disconnected from the people but they also should not be overly burdened with other tasks related to field work.

rather, they should not burden themselves with directorship in themasick and GeeIceSee, collecting more pay, playing with properties like LangJeowTong. if they want to serve people, please collect $2 ceremonial paycheck, but they r no Carl ICahn for sure.

When you control more than 2/3 of the seats in Parliament and can pass any legislation(including increasing your own salaries to the highest
on planet earth ) and change the constitution anytime to suit your needs.

When you have the highest paid and supposedly most efficient civil service under you.

When all the top scholars are co-opted to work for you.

When the PA, CC,CCC,RC, NTUC, ect2 are all at your service.

When people die in hospitals, recruits in training and MRT staff in accidents from negligence and you need not answer for it.

When you miscalculated the YOG budget (originally S$104 million) by three times and still can say no regrets

When you can run a cabinet despite 2 cancers.

Is it overworked?
I tell you who are overworked-the old folks collecting cardboards for exercise!

Millions difficult to earn.

Especially when they have so many picky demanding and complaining Singaporeans like us to deal with.

No wonder they got chronic disease such as cancers and strokes and what else.

Angmo countries dun have to deal with such nonsense. Everyone is happy.

Sometime in 2009, the PAP realised the ground was worsening

An undeniable fact that support for pappies is eroded. If a guy like CSJ famous for his antics in younger days could today get strong support from sinkies, it speaks volume about the unpopularity of pappies. Pappies are basically in power due to support from imported foreign shits and those ignoramus about their policies to place foreigners above the natives.

Our overpaid ministers are so fragile? They are being paid top salaries because they are superman. There is nothing that they are doing that their counterparts in other countries are not doing. In fact their counterparts do more ...the parliamentary sessions are longer - like 9 months in a year and the ministers have to face question period every day.

Don't make excuses for the overpaid ministers lah.

What is the function of the gov't:confused:
For a small country like Spore with almost no welfare services, it should require a very small body to run.

All the excess baggage e.g. PA, NTUC, GLCs... are organs of the PAP to give their supporters a living:rolleyes:

That is why if you look you will find plenty of cases of too many rules & regulations out there because there are too many people who need to justify their positions in the gov't.

PAP ministers past and present are well-known for their honesty and work ethic. That's why Singapore has been so successful for the past 60 years. No wars and no direct impacts from recessions.
