A Prime Minister Who Is Completely Out Of Touch!
Last night, after watching Lee Hsien Loong’s May Day Speech, I summed it up as a “Much Ado About Nothing” speech in my Facebook post.
At a difficult time when our Nation needs real leadership and direction, all Lee Hsien Loong was capable of was mouthing motherhood statements and generalities, which have characterised all his May Day speeches.
Singaporeans have been let down big time by his and the other PAP ministers’ weak and feeble leadership during the greatest crisis our generation has faced. It is a sentiment that is wonderfully captured in this WhatsApp message I just received. I do not know who the author is but I thank him for speaking up and sharing with us how he feels! He speaks for Many of Us!
“ LHL was a disappointment with his May Day message.
I expected him to explain about the Covid19 situation with charts n pictures etc. It is a big issue with the nation n the world! Frightening!l He avoided details.
He could have said if Singapore was prepared? Did we misread the signs ? Did situation changed? Have rectified it? What is situation with masks, test kits, logistics, food supply, etc. How are we doing? Did we get it wrong initially? Is it OK now ? Is food security from Malaysia, etc OK? ..Causeway.. smooth? Where did we moved the FWs. How many of them? How well is it under control? Will take time? How many tested? How many more to test? Is our army helping etc.? .tell us the good, the bad and the ugly news. Instead he avoided mentioning face mask, dormitories, availability of hospital facilities, mistakes, etc. LKY would!! We will understand.
It is just at a moment like this, a lockdown, the nation is lost, stuck at home, left our businesses, jobs, livelihoods outside, that we want our leader to explain more. He just gave a 15 min general rumbling of things we already know. SIA lah.. Govt will take care of workers and Singaporeans. What are the programs? How?
I can imagine how LKY will be delivering a fiery explanatory n forward looking speech at such a critical time. LKY will be rolling up his sleeves talking, explaining. We, pioneer generation, will understand. Now this guy just talk air”.
We need far better leaders after the next GE. We cannot continue to have these weak men and women governing us.
