Teo Chee Hean - The paradox of governance - gahmen should practise what it preach

[Confuseous]

What ever paradoxes there are, the worst paradox is a govt doing what it should not be doing and not doing what it should be doing. Put it in another way, things that the people did not want to govt to be doing but the govt insists on doing and things that the people want the govt to do but not doing. This is the paradox that the govt cannot see. It only believes in the proverbial ‘I’. It is always the ‘I decide, I say, I do’. The govt is the authority to do what it likes and to draw the OB markers.

Chee Ken also said,

"Government must not shy away from hard decisions"

Why not make a hard decision and restrict the number of cars one family can own or fix the COE at an average figure which remove the need to bid? So many hard decisions but one hard one like their salary takes almost one year to decide.

It is all about 'chui kong, lampar song' - the speech would have been taken with more than a pinch of salt from the audience. It was meant to be just another of those chest-thumping "we are the best" rah-rah show that the private sector practises as well.
