If they are called populist it is still ok provided they sincerely look after the welfare of the people of Singapore.

Almost by definition, populist policies, as touted by the politicians who support them, aim to \"sincerely look after the welfare of the people\", but at what long term cost?

It scares me to h... when people start saying that populist policies are ok, its a sure sign of decline for a country.

Check out Greece.

Nope, not ok, not in my book.

Dear 3Boys,

Please do not cut out a term or phrase, tear it apart with your eloquence and repaint my comments. Don't put words in my mouth like what you did before. I know you are out attack me subtly because I disagreed with you in another thread. I request that you do not harass me anymore. Enough is enough with you. Won't be back. Thank you and have a nice day.

Watching the Nomination ‘live’ on CNA. These are my observations and personal opinions.


TCB - speak with sincerity and dignity, can almost feel his heart for Singapore and the people of spore; stresses he wants to be a unifying figure to bring sporeans together.

TT - speak confidently and assuredly. enough said.

TJS - opens his mouth only and "offended" the government already. Say he wants to be the "checks & balances" to (quoting him) prevent the government from "abusing their power".

TKL - the only one to speak in 4 languages, yes, including tamil when calling for votes. And unlike the other 3, he spoke in Malay first, followed by Tamil, Chinese and English. Strange…seems like he is trying to garner the minority votes. After his speech, he even ‘hi-fives’ with his team of supporters on stage. Hmmm… abit making light of the serious and dignified PE, if u ask me.

Nothing personal and no harassment intended, sorry if you feel that way. I excerpt for brevity and crispness, not to distort. Its always strictly on the issues and I happen to disagree with you on this one (yes, I happen to disagree with you on the other one also).

Even vks2010 and I can agree on things, and he and I have had far more tetchy encounters.

I assure you it is nothing personal, and I apologise again if you feel that way, my style is just robust.

As a citizen, I feel our govt is so high handed. In such a naming with long term implications that I think deserves public opinions, they can just go ahead without qualms.

Perhaps this is the usual way that they do things - I decide you follow can oredi, don't need to ask so much...

I personally don't view this issue with such gravity, but I agree with you that its one of those \"What were they thinking :whut: ??\" moments. Quite poor judgement. Perhaps name an annex or a block, but a whole Hospital??

That Mr NTF has profited immensely from the runaway property prices makes it all the more galling for everyday Singaporeans.

like it or not, only TT and TCB are serious contenders

the other, with due respect to their braveness, will be 'also run'

Lets see how close this gets to the actual result, will be fun to see.
