His EAST coast GRC nearly fell in the hands of WP. He is a spent force, can sing song talk cock and still moaning over his pay-cut. To put it simply, he is not competent to bring up our productivity level and prefer his PAP popular measure of mess influx of cheap immigrants. He can't handle stress from the people, I hope he quit instead of being voted out.

What he say is very true to a point, what he forgot to mention is Doing the right thing for the PAP and CRONIES is more important than winning votes
Of course! That's the hard truth. Sinkies measure the success of government by the amount of debt-financed conspicuous consumption they see around them.

He does fight for Singkies to have higher wages through higher productivity and not through artificial means. It may be unpopular to some people but its the right thing to do.
Thats why he says he will rather do the right thing and be voted out for it than to do the wrong thing and stay elected.
Thats what a true honourable leader is.
For once LSS has made a very good point. I fully agree with him.
Okay, back to the issue. Now that he has been voted in by people for doing the wrong things (I mean that's really his own words), what is he going to do about it ?
What bs talk! Is making ministers millionaires doing the right thing? Is putting foreigners first doing the right thing? Most of the policies put in place by the PAP government is to perpetuate the the PAP rule and paying themselves generous while hiding their performance. They treat sinkees like fools.
If Lim Shit Sway want to do the right thing, than he should resign immediately and save the taxpayer millions of $. Where else on earth got such a jiak liao bee position as Minister in the PMO? What does a minister in the PMO do? He is not in charge of defence, or trade, or transportation or labour. He is only in charge of carrying Gay Loong's balls, and those balls are so minuscule, he doesn't deserve a $ million pay to carry them. 50 cents enough already. When Kuan Yew was PM, where got such position as minister in the PMO. There was only him running the PMO. Now that retarded faggot son of his need not one but 2 ministers to assist him, as well as another 2 DPM? After years of training too.
How much did he fight for Sinkies to have higher wages? Do these Sinkies see an increase of more than $500 in their wages, or is it just a paltry increase of $50-$100..??? You called him a true Honourable leader? LOL..LOL..LOL.. A true clown seems more like it.. LOL..LOL..LOL..
Billions of dollars were spend on subsidies on training for workers of all levels. All thanks to LSS.
How can you possibly be so blind?
Your wish is our command ok then lets vote him out.
Putting the country’s interest first is more important than winning votes by pursuing populist policies, said Minister in the Prime Minister’s Office, Lim Swee Say.
Speaking at the closing ceremony of the Asian Young Leaders Convention at River Valley High School on Monday, Lim stressed that leaders must have the courage and be far-sighted enough to introduce tough measures necessary to sustain a country’s progress.
The Convention, which is organised by River Valley High, is an annual event that brings together over 1,200 student leaders, aged 15 to 18, from across Asia to provide networking opportunities.
“I (would) rather be voted out for trying to do the right things which may be unpopular, than to be voted in by people for doing the wrong things,” he said, as reported by mypaper.
Using the European debt crisis as an example, Lim said that leaders in Greece and Spain chose to lower taxes while increasing public spending, hence the crisis.
Earlier in April this year, Lim – who is also the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) secretary-general -- shot down the wage shock therapy proposal put forth by economist and former chair of the National Wages Council, Lim Chong Yah.
Lim warned that raising wages for the lower-income strata would be a “very risky” move. He added that people who welcomed the proposal might not have been aware of the potential costs involved.
The proposal at the time was highly popular with Singaporeans.
When Yahoo! Singapore asked Singaporeans if they think wage shock therapy would work, 65 per cent said they believe’ it is the right move to tackle Singapore’s growing income gap’.
Out of the more than 4,000 people polled, 19 per cent said the proposal requires further thought and the remaining 16 per cent said they feared it would lead to higher costs.
Subsequently a month later, the NWC has – for the first time since 1984 – recommended a minimum quantum of pay rise which the government had accepted. Workers earning below $1,000 are likely to receive a pay rise of at least $50.
What Zorro Lim is saying is just truism ie self-evident truth. The trouble however is that the PAP had been doing all the wrong things past 20 to 25 years. And that's why S'pore is in such a bad shape now. Zorro Lim should just shut his big cb mouth and thanked the moronic 60% who kept voting PAP in despite having come up with all the wrong policies the past two and half decades.
hei..hei..for him to do best right thing is resign.
For a person of his calibre, probably retire as a Senior Manager in some SME. Outside civil service, zorro is ZERO.
He look at his CPF statement and laugh himself to sleep.
I'll pay top dollar to see Lim Sia Sway fight for his job with the cheaperer, betterer, fasterer foreign trash he welcomes with open legs.
We are like the little frog. We are deaf to all these criticisms
THE story goes that in a kingdom of frogs, the tallest tower in the world is built for an annual competition.
And when the event is held, many aim to become the champion by making it to the top, but fail as they are discouraged by the audience, who warn that the climb is too dangerous.
All except one frog who did reach the top. And when asked afterwards why he ignored the crowd, the frog said: 'I'm deaf. I can't hear them.'
With this tale, labour chief Lim Swee Say responded to opposition MP Low Thia Khiang (Hougang), who repeated his criticism of a day earlier that low- wage workers continue to languish, and that the labour movement ought to do better and work harder.
Mr Lim's point: Despite criticisms like those levelled by the Workers' Party chief, the labour movement continues to address problems faced by low-wage workers and to improve their situation.
'We never give up. We are like the little frog. We are deaf to all these criticisms,' he said.
