The mood was definitely not kind to the Ministers. Whenever someone said something supporting Singaporeans, the audience would clap and cheer. One young Singaporean even addressed Dr Amy Khor’s clarification that he was okay with 10 million in Singapore, he quipped,”I am okay with 10 million in Singapore with the appropriate infrastructure, ten million SINGAPORE citizens!” to loud applause. Another guy at the end of his question even said,” I will be more comfortable with a Singaporean lesbian and her kid, then a foreigner!” The final blow was from a small business owner that even chided the Ministers Grace Fu and Tan Jin Chuan calling them managers rather than leaders and not having conviction to set a path forward or vision (Grace Fu on non traditional families) and unsure what economic growth is for Singapore (Tan Jin Chuan, which led him to return with a lengthly merry ground defense of himself), so much so that DPM Teo had to admit that we are so used to scoring 99 percent that when we score 75 percent we get upset.
