We are the Government - responsible and accountable to Singaporeans

[kopiOuncle]

If we were not in the government, it is much easier. We can make recommendations, we can write papers, we can make speeches, and we can rouse arguments, unhappiness, point out all the problems we have where we are standing. But as a Government, we have to deal with this issue and it is an issue where honestly speaking, there are no easy choices. There are trade-offs.

If we have no foreign workers, our economy suffers, our own lives suffer. (If) we have a lot of foreign workers, the economy will do well, (but) we have other social pressures, other problems with our society which are going to be very real and which we have to take very seriously and which we cannot accept.

Somewhere in the middle, we have a mix of evils; on the other hand, we may be able to find a spot where all things considered, this is something which balances our needs as well as our identity, as well as our economic requirements, and enables us to move forward. Then after three, four, five years we look at it again, we revise our view and we adjust our policy.

But as a Government, I cannot avoid having to make this decision, I have to do it on behalf of Singaporeans, we have to think: How does this affect Singaporeans? Because that is where our responsibility is. It not only affects you for now but also affect you for the long-term. For your job prospects, for your children’s future when they grow up in Singapore and what sort of Singapore will they be in.

And it is our job to think of these issues and to make the best decisions which we can, in our judgment, on your behalf and to account to you, and say to the best of my ability this is what I have decided I have to do.

And you may agree with it, you may not agree with it, but I can tell you in complete honesty that I am trying my best to do this on your behalf. And I cannot avoid doing this because otherwise I think I will be letting you down......

I do not owe hundreds of millions of potential foreign workers from around the world an obligation. I owe Singaporeans a responsibility.

Does this mean we finally get to see where our CPF money is? Do we finally get to know the full accounts of Temasek? Nah, just fucking with you. I know this is an impossibility however 'responsible' and 'accountable' you are.

You know, you could come across as more genuine, sincere and a thousand other superlatives if you just accede to the 2 above. Everything else is utter rubbish. Respectfully.

[soIsee]

Just need to ask...

Is lying to the public at large, to canvass votes a form of ..

TREASON? LoLoLoL

 

[Confuseous]

The ST has cleverly masked out some of the not-so-smart things that he said.
He beat around the bush to Professor Chan's questions, who, politely, after two attempts
each time at nailing him down, moved on. She was, surprisingly, saying things that have
been said in this forum.

He tried to project himself as a man of vision, talking about "our children's grandchildren"
fifty years down the line. He cannot solve the immediate problems and he tries to talk about
our children's grandchildren's lives.

Further down the programme, in response to a question, he said he was unable to respond
about what will happen in 25 years time.

The PAP is out of ideas, out of ammunition, out of candidates but now use the line "I did it all
for you, rightly or wrongly. I owe it to you. You just have to trust papa's son now."

 

[melzp]

Simply put, he lost the balance and beat around the bushes.
With the almighty payroll they want to command;
there must not be wishy washy excuses.

Did they want to lower their pants and salary?
I will support them if they do......be accountable.
