I suppose it is whether you want form or substance.

If you want form, then you should go for the current PAP government. PM Lee gave a very slick National Day message where he basically tells you he is going to ram you in the rear by increasing the number of FT in Singapore.

Goh Meng Seng on the other hand has clearly indicated he is going to work to change this policy which is the root cause of almost all the problems we are currently seeing in Singapore.

Only with constant vigilance and high quality check will GMS achieve great things. He should strive for both form and substance!

Thank you for your constant pushing. I will always strive for improvement in whatever I do.

Here is the English Script of NSP National Day Message:

It has been a frustrating year for many Singaporeans.

Although our GDP has grown significantly for the past quarters but the decline in the retail sector speaks volume of the kind of growth we are getting.

Our purchasing power is either stagnant or unable to catch up with the inflation caused by various factors. Any GDP growth that doesn’t benefit Singaporeans
in terms of higher purchasing power and quality of life is meaningless. It is at best
just another justification for the ministers to increase their own pay.

On the other hand, we have to ask ourselves while our Nation achieves almost 20% growth in GDP for the last quarter but have our income achieve even half of that growth?

Besides, the cost of having such high GDP growth is tremendous. We are just increasing more and more foreign labour to achieve growth. This may result in suppressed wages for Singaporeans and at the same time, a more crowded place for everyone else.

According to our study and research, the PAP government has consciously embarked
on a very aggressive foreign workers policy to help boost the economy since 2006. However, many ministers, including the Ministers for Transport, Health and National Development are basically “Caught off Guard” by such explosive population growth.

Our public transport system could no longer cope with the excessive increase of population over such short period of time. The growth in train and bus services is lagging far behind the growth of population over the years. This results in over crowded MRT trains and buses during peak hours.

On top of that, the fares have increased for many of us since July, for as much as 7% or more!

Our HDB flat prices are shooting off the roof. HDB failed to build enough flats to cope with the population growth. The need of paying a 30 years mortgage for a simple HDB flat is definitely not a sign of affordability.

Hospital care is the most important matter of life and death. However hospital beds are in great shortage as the building of the new hospital is delayed for nearly a decade. It seems that the Ministry of Health does not plan ahead. The problem could be so acute that sometimes patients have to be left lying along the corridors of the wards!

But yet, our Prime Minister has just declared that we need another 100 thousand more foreign workers! Are we supposed to endure a further deterioration of these problems?

The recent floods that we have are creating doubts on the competency of the highly paid PAP government. We do not want to hear excuses from “once in 50 years”, “it is impossible to be flood free” to “it is an act of God”. When we are paying the world’s highest pay to the ministers, we expect such fundamental problems to be solved.

To suffer 3 or 4 floods within a couple of months is totally unacceptable to a small island that prides itself as a modern world-class city state.

All these happenings come under the charge of the world’s most expensive ministers in Singapore. We need accountability but there is none. We need proper checks and balances but there is little.

Singapore needs to progress both economically as well as politically in a balanced way. We should not just aim for some huge GDP growth at all cost. We should also build a political system whereby accountability is effectively in place.

It is time for us, my fellow Singaporeans, to reflect upon all these happenings during this National Day. We have to ask ourselves what kinds of living environment and quality of life we want for our children. High GDP growth no longer guarantees better quality of life but in contrary, lower our overall standard of living.

We also have to ask ourselves whether we want our children to inherit a political system that is based on total dominance of power by a single ruling party, which will use every means to fix its opponents and those who hold alternative views. Do we want our children to inherit a government which only demands the highest pay in the world but shy away from accountability and responsibility?

We need a change to this system and we need courage to change it.

Wishing you a Happy National Day.

no chinese version for NSP?

Here it is:

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/lAeMFYjAd0A&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/lAeMFYjAd0A&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>

今年是一个令很多新加坡人感到沮丧的年头。

虽然我们的国内生产总值在过去几季都有显著的增长,但从零售业的衰退看来,却又完全是另一回事了。

这显示我们的购买力并没有随着经济好转而增强,根本追不上
通货膨胀的步伐。如果GDP的增长没能使新加坡人受惠,没能提升我们的购买力和生活素质,那也是完全毫无意义的。

这也许只能为再次提高部长们的薪金制造一个漂亮的借口。
另一方面,我们要扪心自问,虽然国家的GDP在上一季
取得了约20%增长,但我们的薪金是否有相应的提高呢?

此外,要取得如此高的GDP增长,我们所需要付出的代价是膨大的。为了促进成长,我们输入越来越多的外劳。但这会造成新加坡人的工资被压低。于此同时,我们的生活空间
也因此就越来越拥挤了。

根据我们的调查和研究,行动党政府从2006年起,就刻意进行一个野心勃勃的引进外劳的计划。然而,有多位部长,包括交通、卫生和国家发展部长等,基本上却都对如此急速的爆炸性人口增长显得“措手不及”。

我们的交通系统,已没能应付在短时间内过度激增的人口。这些年以来,地铁和巴士服务已远远落后于人口的增长。这也造成地铁和巴士在繁忙时间内变得非常拥挤。然而,车资的提高却对很多人造成不满。增加的幅度可高达7%,或甚至更高。

我们的组屋售价有如冲天炮。建屋发展局在过去几年里,所提供的新组屋根本无法满足急速人口增长的需求。如果一间普通组屋,都须用30年的时间才能还清房贷,那么,很明显的,这根本就不再是个“负担得起”的房屋政策。

医疗设施对国人的生和死是至关重要的。但是建新医院的计划
已被拖延长达10年之久。这导致我们的医院的床位严重的不足。从这也可以看出卫生部并没有依据人口增长而实施相应的措施来应付医院床位需求的激增。情况有时可以严重到,病人必须被滞留在病房外的走廊!

然而,我们的总理却宣布我们还需要多10万个外劳!我们还能容忍这些问题继续恶化吗?

最近发生的水灾,使我们质疑这超高薪的行动党政府
的治国能力。我们不想再听到以“50年一遇”、“想要完全没有水灾是不可能的”或“这是天意”等借口来推卸责任的。

当我们付出全世界最高的薪金给我们的部长们时,我们便有权要求他们解决这些基本的问题。我们引以为荣的现代化、世界级小岛,竟然在短短两个月内蒙受了3至4次水患。这是我们完全无法接受的。

所有的这一些事都发生在由世界最昂贵的行动党政府管理之下的新加坡。我们需要问责,但我们却没能做到;我们需要适当的制衡,但我们拥有的却很少。

新加坡必要在经济和政治双领域下,取得平衡的发展。我们不应只盲目追求高经济增长,而不惜付出高昂的代价。

同胞们,国庆之际,正是我们反思时候。

我们应自问,我们要为新加坡创造怎样的生活环境和生活素质?高经济增长,再也不能保证我们能拥有更好的生活素质;相反的,它却会降低我们的生活水准。

我们也要自问,我们是否要我们的孩子们继承由一党独大
一党垄断的专制政治体系吗?继承一个只要求高薪但没有担当和问责的政府吗?

我们需要改变这体系。
我们更需要勇气来改变它。

祝 国庆快乐!

The following is the Malay version:

<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GN0o0aaKcdA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GN0o0aaKcdA&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>


Tahun ini merupakan tahun yang menghampakan ramai rakyat Singapura. Meskipun GDP kita telah meningkat dengan banyaknya dalam beberapa bulan kebelakangan ini, sektor runcit yang menjunamlah yang memberi kita gambaran yang sebenar tentang pertumbuhan ekonomi kita.

Kuasa membeli kita sama ada telah mendatar atau tidak dapat menampung kadar inflasi . Sebarang pertumbuhan GDP yang tidak memberi faedah kepada rakyat Singapura dari segi kuasa membeli dan mutu kehidupan yang lebih tinggi tidak bermakna sama sekali.

Keadaan begini hanya memberi peluang kepada para menteri kita menaikkan lagi gaji mereka sendiri. Sebaliknya pula, kita mesti tanya pada diri kita – negeri kita telah mencapai hampir 20% pertumbuhan GDP bagi tiga bulan terakhir ini tetapi adakah pendapatan kita akan mencapai separuh daripada kadar pertumbuhan tersebut?

Kita harus berbelanja lebih untuk menampung pertumbuhan GDP yang begitu tinggi. Kita terpaksa menambah lebih banyak lagi tenaga asing untuk mencapai pertumbuhan tersebut. Ini bermakna pendapatan bagi rakyat Singapura akan dicantas
dan pada masa yang sama, negeri kita akan menjadi lebih sesak dengan orang asing.


Menurut kajian kami, pemerintah PAP memang dengan sengajanya memulakan pengambilan tenaga kerja warga asing ini secara melampau sejak 2006 semata-matanya untuk merancakkan ekonomi. Bagaimanapun, kebanyakan menteri kita, termasuk Menteri-menteri Pengangkutan, Kesihatan dan Pembangunan Negara, telah disentakkan dengan pertumbuhan penduduk yang mendadak.

Sistem pengangkutan awam kita tidak dapat lagi menampung ledakan penduduk yang keterlaluan dalam masa yang begitu singkat. Perkhidmatan MRT dan bas-bas begitu lembab dibandingkan dengan pertumbuhan penduduk yang semakin banyak kebelakangan ini. Ini membuat keadaan begitu sesak dalam MRT dan bas-bas pada waktu puncak. Untuk memburukkan keadaan lagi, Kebanyakkan di antara kita terpaksa membayar tambang yang lebih sejak bulan Julai ini, adanya sehingga mencecah lebih 7%.

Harga flat-flat HDB kita sudah membumbung tinggi. HDB gagal membina flat-flat yang cukup bagi menampung pertumbuhan penduduk yang begitu pesat. Sekarang kita perlu membayar duit rumah selama 30 tahun untuk sebuah flat HDB yang biasa – ini menandakan rumah bukan lagi sesuatu yang kita mampu.


Penjagaan kesihatan di hospital merupakan perkara terpenting
antara hidup dan mati. Bagaimanapun, katil-katil di hospital
sudah banyak berkurangan disebakan pembinaan sebuah hospital baharu tergendala selama hampir sedekad. Ini membuktikan betapa Kementerian Kesihatan tidak memandang jauh semasa membuat rancangan untuk memastikan pertambahan katil-katil hospital seiring dengan pertumbuhan penduduk yang melampau. Masalah ini menjadi begitu runcing
apabila ada pesakit-pesakit yang terpaksa berbaring di tempat lalu lalang di wad-wad hospital.


Nanum begitu, baru-baru ini Perdana Menteri kita mengumumkan bahawa kita memerlukan lagi 100 ribu pekerja asing! Adakah kita harus bertahan lagi dengan keadaan yang sememangnya telah begitu buruk?


Banjir yang menimpa kita baru-baru ini membuat kita tertanya-tanya tentang kebolehan pemerintah PAP yang bergaji lumayan. Kita tidak mahu lagi dengar alasan-alasan seperti “hanya sekali dalam 50 tahun”, “mustahil kita tidak dilanda banjir”, dan “ini kuasa Tuhan”. Kita harapkan perkara-perkara asas sebegini
dapat ditangani memandangkan kita membayar menteri-menteri kita gaji yang paling lumayan di muka bumi ni. Tetapi kita terpaksa mengharungi 3 atau 4 banjir dalam masa dua bulan
dan ini amat tidak munasabah bagi sebuah pulau kecil
yang mendabik dada sebagai sebuah bandar moden bertaraf dunia.


Semua ini berlaku di bawah jagaan menteri-menteri termahal dunia di Singapura. Kita perlu ada pertanggungjawaban
tetapi tiada langsung, Kita perlu ada mekanisme keseimbangan
tetapi terlalu sedikit.

Singapura perlu maju dalam kedua-dua bidang ekonomi dan politik dengan cara yang seimbang. Kita tidak harus mensasarkan pertumbuhan GDP yang besar sehinggakan mutu kehidupan kita sengsara. Kita harus ada sistem politik di mana terdapat pertanggungjawaban.

Saudara-saudara dan saudari-saudari setanah air, masanya telah tiba untuk kita memikirkan tentang perkara-perkara ini sempena Hari Kebangsaan kita. Kita perlu tanya pada diri kita – suasana kehidupan yang bagaimanakah yang kita mahukan untuk Singapura. Pertumbuhan GDP yang tinggi tidak lagi menjamin mutu hidup yang lebih baik tetapi sebaliknya, merendahkan taraf kehidupan secara keseluruhan.


Kita juga perlu tanya pada diri kita sama ada kita mahu anak-anak kita mewarisi sistem politik berteraskan kekuasaan mutlak
di bawah pemerintahan satu parti, yang akan menggunakan apa cara sekalipun untuk ‘kerjakan” lawan mereka dan sesiapa sahaja yang mempunyai pandangan yang berbeza.

Kita perlu menukar sistem sebegini dan kita perlu berani menukarnya.

Selamat menyambut Hari Kebangsaan.
Dirgahayu Singapura.

This says it all about GMS without even going into details.

The Malay guy is MORE connected in what he's saying compared to GMS ranting. I hope GMS you resign to fate and accept how far you can go. Please join another leader who can propel the opposition forward.

Tampines GRC will vote for you not because you are GMS but you are an opposition, get that into your head first!

Without charisma, without the political statues, astuteness, if you wish to take it further join another leader under his wing (not that you have not done it before). At best, you can only be the "castle" at the chess game. For checkmate, you need a leader with the visionary to use this castle effectively.

BTW, ever wonders why KJ never take sammyboy as a platform to engage others? Sammyboy forum are matured adults mostly already know what they want and who they will vote or maybe we can safely say much of the 33% are here. So why waste your time here?

You are GKS at BEST and even that I think already flatter you too much.

Happy National Day!

Sorry not to you GMS. - to PAP. I believe they will certainly have a HAPPY NATIONAL DAY. looks like MBT is safe for the next 5 years coming... again!

He is a political liability for the oppositions. The damage he done is beyond repair. PAP had always painted oppositions as a group of unlikely companions of "bandits". the mouth piece of PAP had solicit a reply from one of these "bandits" and GMS OFFICIALLY confirms it "NSP plays down prospects of party returning to SDA". A political astute leader will answer "it is still work in progress" and not ""not considering that option yet". GONE. HE did the opposition IN! With all sincerity he got, with the determination he got by selling his flat, ALL LAY TO WASTE!!!!!!!!!!

Disarray gang of "bandits" ... GMS you done it. You had officially became the mouth piece of PAP to confirms their allegation against the oppositions. Aunties Uncles would not understand YOUR PRADA brand, they see a traitor when they "see" one on the newspaper. (sadly! but that's Singaporeans! if not how else PAP remain in power for so long?! political newbies!)

All the best and WELL DONE!

Goh Meng Seng on the other hand has clearly indicated he is going to work to change this policy which is the root cause of almost all the problems we are currently seeing in Singapore.

In my opinion, GMS speaks better than WKS, LSS, LBH and many other ministers. In fact, he speaks in the same manner as GCT. He definitely speaks better Mandarin than PM and MM.

As for charisma, it will come naturally with power and status, which I trust is least of his many concerns.

Let's do some simple Math here.

GMS has less than 200 views for his ND message.

And out of these 200 views I can safely assume 70% are already very much anti-establishment.

So that leaves us with 60 persons whom GMS badly needs to reach out to.

PM Lee ND message reached out to millions but GMS's only, 60 persons.

Simple math dictates that PAP to win the next GE hands down. No fight.
