Vivian's YOG $387mil would have paid for 10 (cancelled) Motor Sports Hubs

[Confuseous]

One suspects the relevant minister responsible for the Sports Council, F1 Night Race and land transportation, each has his own perception of inequity. Perhaps the Changi Motorsports Hub would have a different fate if a more spendthrift cabinet minister was in charge. Asked if he had any regret about splurging $387 million dollars of taxpayers’ monies to host the most expensive “sports day” for children in the world, Vivian Balakrishnan made dubious claims about YOG “laying a strong foundation for Singapore’s sporting culture, especially in spectatorship, community involvement and volunteer engagement.” Racing fans holding multiple COEs for their private fleet would love that line about "Singapore’s sporting culture, especially in spectatorship, community involvement and volunteer engagement.” Just imagine, $387 million could pay for ten Motorsports Hubs, fully subsidised.

You'll notice that he is still in parliament talking cock. Ever wondered why


Suspect that many PAP loyalists got their share of peanuts and mangos

I imagine that in real life, Vivian doesn't keep to a budget when doing his grocery shopping too.

This kind of people are poor money managers.

He is the only one who serve the nation, you got to be kidding..people like us have to sacrifice time, family, inconvenience to serve NS & reservist. He is one of those rotting wood that is still hanging around & contaminating a party, whom people once admire & look up to...no longer!. You ask Nparks, what do they do with rotting wood?:p

You are just jealous of him.

No, why should I, I am concern that we are having too much 'dead woods'...he is one.

 

[PrinceCharming]

Why should we be jealous of him? We, the taxpayers, pay his obscene salary for his incompetence. How can an employer (a.k.a. taxpayer) be jealous of an employee (read: Ms Vivian)?

If Ms Vivian is competent and able to solve the biggest issue of the day -fight against dengue- we give him due credit.

But so far, he/she has proved to be incompetent and a waste of taxpayers' funds.

Well, he is certainly able to budget people from eating in kopitiams, hawker centres or restaurants...

What sacrifice? He is milking the taxpayers big time - to the tune of $68 million. How much value has been generated for sinkapore? No general statements, please.

Looking at previous pictures and news video of Vivi and spouse and their body posture. Does anyone really believe they ever do their own grocery or even visit a wet market on their personal basis; let alone bother about budget.

Its public money, he only need to open his mouth to approve it with whatever justifications. That is why he doesn't feel the pinch.

Spent so much for YOG, yet the helpers are fed far worse then dogs with its miserable lunch boxes.

Tell that to the people who voted for him,,,he is such an asshole and he still won the election,,,surely its the voters fault right?

Unfortunately, nobody really voted for him. He rode in under the skirts of his team mates in the GRC where scared rabbit behaviour of the GRC did not dare to risk losing a GRC - unlike the brave people in Aljunied.

Potential ministers should stand on their own in SMCs.

 

[mollusk]

Was really hoping for a race track in Singapore

 

[The_Hypocrite]

The GRC voters voted for him. That is why the voters deserved the blame,,,they voted PAP and the whole nation suffers now with a fork tongue woman opening its mouth and sprouting more shit than GMS.
