SINGAPORE: The Singapore economy is "in for a tough period that will last for a while", said Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam on Wednesday (Sep 28).

Speaking to reporters at the launch event for the Wong Fong Industries Building, Mr Tharman noted that for 2016, "we've had some growth at the start but the second half will be weaker; in the lower half of the 1 per cent to 2 per cent range".

Always the sensible answer. You can't fault him for saying it wrong. But it is actually not comforting words just stating the facts in a humane way.

Tharman is saying what we already know and have been saying for at least a year. We dont have to hear from the pap to know that SG is not doing well.

We can see it at the shopping malls which are empty

Totally agree, bro.

If I were a Sinkie, I'd demand to see what concrete steps the highly paid ministars are planning to take to create more jobs for Sinkies and generate more growth.

in the financial world nobody ever tells the truth,if tharman says we are in for a tough period,hes probably understating the truth.the world is flat and we are about to fall right off the cliff at the edge of the world.

So what is his solution to help sinkies in this foreigner-populated cuntry? Talk is always easy because ministers are all living on economy-proof iron-rice bowl.

i dun think it is that bad as put out to be, when oil prices recover, it is the first step towards the bright light path, and i am expecting fed to hike rate before x'mas.

by next year, things will start to pick globally and all should be well in a couple to maybe 5 years time.

meantime, we can still chiong ktv and tip the girls generously.:biggrin:

When our economy is going through a tough period, only PAP can lead us through the storm. Stand fast with PAP!

he knows we are doomed....Heng got so stressed that he kenna stroke. PM Lee got so stressed that he fainted.
now, he got so stresed that he lost his hair...which, comparatively, is minor.

So, tell me, anyone with half ounce of brain will know not to take the hotseat...anyway why be seat warmer right?

The question is not what, but how. How is the government going to get all of us through the tough economic times? Stating the obvious does nothing to fix the problem. What we want to hear is solutons. I will be most surprised if PM Lee will not make an announcement soon on the formation of an economic revitalization taskforce to tackle the economic downtown. That is the least he could do... something that says he is looking into the problem seriously.

We expect the tough men n women who had demanded high obscene salaries
to propel the economy and NOT let the recession seep in, in the first place.

So much is expected of you since u demanded so much.

No excuse of global this n that. SHAME. as it happened.

In private sector, what would u all do?
