Edit
With General Election (GE) around the corner, it seems the government is working overtime and extra hard to ¡°listen¡± to the citizen¡¯s grouses and show that it ¡°cares¡±.
The latest Million-Dollar Minister slated to show ¡°concern¡± is none other than Ex-Prime Minister, now Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong, who promised Singaporeans a ¡°Swiss Standard of Living¡± and ¡°World Cup¡± in ???
Speaking to 200 REACH contributors at a forum held at the Marine Parade Community Club on Saturday, SM Goh was quoted as saying that ¡°the government welcomes all feedback from Singaporeans, including opinions on controversial issues such as immigration.¡±
SM Goh said one worrying trend is that Singaporeans are becoming too dependent on the government, and more needs to be done to make Singaporeans more self reliant.
He quoted an example of how Singaporeans reacted strongly to the Orchard Road floods that happened last year, saying that Singaporeans should not complain too much but instead learn from the Japanese tsunami incident, and approach situations calmly.
Other topics discussed include providing affordable housing for the elderly, foreign competition in Singapore and whether the two casinos would create more social problems.
