Stop their FT programme, stop the runaway inflation, control and bring down the costs of living and most importantly, provide affordable housing (aka 2008 prices) for all citizens??

when pigs fly hoh
basically right from day 1, S'pore is a farm belonging to LKY..........the plan is to suck s'pore dry after fattening up the cow.........
they will keep doing what they're doing...........and when PAP close to losing power, the whole Lee Clan will migrate...........S'pore can just shrivel up like a dry leaf................

The damage done during Golden Period is irreparable. Bringing housing prices down will cause many sinkies to have negative equity. Businesses have been thriving on cheap labour instead of innovating for the past 10 years. Stopping FT policy right now will ruin them.
Sinkies have to suck it up again
From what I gather about the technical aspect of screwing, once a screw is half way in and stay jammed and cannot back out.
You eithier
1) Let the screw stay jammed.
2) screw in deeper and if you can, screw another screw after it.
3) Or whack the first screw so hard that it goes deeper!
Three options , all of them the Sinkie seems SCREWED!
But I'm talking about screws, O.K? LOL

it's a swing and it can always go either way

The slap is not effective. WP will continue to cooperate with PAP. You guys had locked onto a chaff decoy. No enemy aircraft was destroyed. Now, PAP may be smiling.
You are right. You cannot reverse it. You can only freeze it in time and allow income to catch up. That is why solving such a mistake takes time. But if they don't immediately take the appropriate steps, it will take a longer time. WP knows that. That is the true reason why they are not proposing alternative plans of govt.
The way to solving the problem is to immediately resolve the income inequality distribution issue. Ministerial salaries is just one puzzle of the equation. You cannot adjust ministerial salaries without adjusting all the other salaries. The more you adjust ministerial salaries, the more you need to adjust the other salaries and it is not what most people will immediately like. I think this is also something that the WP knows too.
Unlike many bros here, I think Prof LCY's proposal has merits which justifies further study and development.

we took the short cuts
the easy and convenient fast track
now we see the adverse effects
difficult to reverse gear
but it is still possible - slowly reversing
otherwise we will sink in a quagmire

i am very confused
ltk said don't read too much into the victory
pap said it's a swing and it swings either way
wp is not ready to take on the role of government
wp is there to make pap work harder
the policies remain the same
why is wp competing to enter parliament
if only just to ask questions ?????????
Wow you seem to know a lot about what WP knows
While the problems can't be reversed, it doesn't mean the gahmen can't take steps to alleviate the suffering of those hit hard by them. There's simply no excuse why WP don't say anything in parliament.
Why should other salaries change along with ministers' salary level? Those are 2 independent events. I recall bill on ministers' salary was passed in 2006 without a gazetted minimum pay for employees. In fact, our wages were further depressed by the FT policy.
