The post is so important that LHL once held it, and according to Scroobal, was better than Tharman.

the line between the private sector and public sector has blurred,now the ministry of environment,ministry of manpower,Land Transport authority,Housing development board can be considered as for profit organisations.

Corporate fascism. That's what Singapore is all about.

It is what it is. There's no point denying it.

Ridiculous! Which public company has its CEO suceeded by their next of kin?

It is simply a family business!

Why you think the post is so important. It was the first Ministry to have 2 Perm Sec will clear lines of responsibilities and they were there from the 70s.

Monetary / Fiscal Policy Failure - this one is real easy - driving demand and keeping the GDP growth targets intact by allowing the foreigners to come in. When you increase population, you your economy will grow as demand shoots up. Supply cannot keep up and prices rise. Owners of private properties especially rentals will laugh all the way to the bank. Businessmen boom time as they increase price to handle the demand without adding more costs. But the rest of country suffers.

Why did you think they increased the population so much and proposed to increase even more - it cannot be because we got so much space like Australia and Canada to exploit. It was not because they wanted to help the Pinoys and Indians and reduce poverty in their home country.

They run the country like a corporate. Increasing the population will increase the corporate revenue and profit eg income, corporate tax, GST, COE, property tax, stamp duty for property transactions. It's got nothing to do with ageing population or helping the poor. That's the explanation for suckers.
