In his State of the Regime address, Ruler Loong pours concentrated sulphuric acid on the numerous suggestions of his cabinet minions' shortcomings.
He ticked off everyone using the following crap.....challenging dissenters on funding for their harebrained schemes.
"Do not just support popular measures, like increasing social spending or building more HDB flats, or ask the government to deliver more. Anybody can do that! Also, acknowledge that these measures cost money and explain how their proposals will be funded. Speak up for necessary but unpopular measures, like immigration."
This statement proved why Dynastic Succesions usually doomed dynasties....incompetence.
When Ruler Loong proposed hiking taxes e.g. GST 7%, he claimed this is the only way to help the poor, tax them. As good as saying 'first you punch the peasants, then you bandage them.'
On one hand, he challenges dissenters to cough up the funds but simply pass the buck to taxing peasants whenever he feels like doing so.
In 1986, when faced with the problem of recession, he merely cut peasants' pay. In successive recessions, he used the same tactics, trimming wages. Recently Ruler Loong took this tactic to a new low by slashing old peasants' pay to make them marketable. Well, he ought to lead by example by slashing his Papa's pay.
Therefore hypocrisy certainly have a field day.
