TCSS and missed the answer completely, which is the his evil plot to replace SGs by Foreigners to perpetuate one-Familee rule! Of course, the 60% daftees will nod with approval whatever BS he dishes out.

<root></root>Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong warned on Friday that Singapore cannot afford to “slow down” in its pursuit of economic growth.
Speaking at Economic Society of Singapore's annual dinner, he said that would be the greatest danger for Singapore.

“If we are content to just be above average in the league of cities, we will fail. That is the greatest danger if we tell ourselves to slow down, enjoy life today and not worry about tomorrow,” he said.
=> But haven't he and his FAP minions been telling SGs to accept regular train breakdown, flooding, etc despite their being best paid in the world?
Instead PM Lee said that now more than ever, in the face of growing competition and speed of technology, Singapore could not afford to be less competitive.
"Being near the front also means we must have a successful, growing economy. There is no other way we can achieve this. We cannot do it by spending what we have inherited from the older generation. We certainly cannot do it by pumping oil or gas from the ground. We can only do it if our economy is prospering and creating wealth that we can invest in our city and our people, to make life better for all of us," he added,
=> But OK for her hubby and daddy to squander billions away? Nothing has changed with regard to him treating SGs as IDIOTS after the GE and BE!
But during his speech, PM Lee also acknowledged growing murmurs that Singapore’s economic success meant she could afford to focus on looking after the less well-off and spend more on public welfare.
"I respect these views. I agree fully that material goals are not everything in life. But we are not going for growth at all costs, nor have we done so... We must always maintain the balance between economic and non-economic objectives, and ensure that the fruits of growth are invested for social purposes which benefit the wider population," he said.
=> What an incorrigible LIAR!
PM Lee also added that it is crucial that growth continues to benefit all in the next twenty years, especially when there is worldwide income inequality coupled with Singapore’s ageing population.
He painted a grim picture of a Singapore with slow growth -- new investments will be fewer, good jobs will be scarcer and unemployment will be higher. Singapore would also face a brain drain when enterprising and talented Singaporeans were lured away by more lucrative opportunities and incomes in more competitive cities. In such a scenario, the low-income workers will be hardest hit, he said.
=> Aren't able-bodied and talented SGs already being replaced by Foreign Trash? Aren't they already emigrating in droves? Trying to act blur till like this. No wonder even JC students wanna to "Fxxx You, SIR!"
Responding to critics who say not enough is done for the underprivileged, PM Lee said that "the reality is that we do much more than we acknowledged or get credit for."
=> No point arguing with such hypocrites. Let Heaven take care of them.
"We have equipped people with the skills and ability to do well for themselves... Over a lifetime, a low-income household will receive more than S$500,000 from the government," he said.
"In fact, households in the lowest income quintile (20 per cent) have on average more than S$200,000 of equity in their HDB flat! This is the direct result of government policy and government grants. It is unmatched by any other country, but our capital grants do not show up in the Gini coefficients," he added.
=> FTrash can sell and balek kampung. Where to SGs go after selling their overpriced pigeonholes? Bedok Reservoir?
For Singapore to rank among the top cities in 20 years' time and achieve social objectives, PM Lee stressed that political support for the government was key.
"Only when citizens accept the political system as legitimate, and economic order as fair, will they give the government of the support and the mandate to run Singapore in their best interests. And only with this mandate can the government do the best for Singapore and all of us," he said.
=> If not 50 years of brainwashing by the 154th, she and her Familee would have been sent to the firing squad for TREASON long ago!
