Awwwrighhttt! I will drag myself out of my intellectual apathy and go watch those speeches......
so nice to finally hear one person who has the courage to agree with my view. :imcool: :imcool: Thank you.
I am sure there are many many who chose to be ignorant and just go with the safe choice ( usual Kiasi or cant be bothered types ). I think all should really do a good readup and analyse properly on the current choices.
Problem is, every time I turn on Youtube, my 3 y.o. looks for Katy Perry instead, which I admit, is much more entertaining than the 4 Tans.....

insider:
My earlier point is that the person donating would be the one deciding which charity to donate to. It may be difficult to be totally impartial here…Busymom:
Better for the review committee to just cut the salary.
Every non-White is talking about a cut but I think all don't feel having a good chance to have a meaningful cut no matter what kind of review committee is involved.
So if the salary still remains ridiculously high, these 'grey' people (not White nor Black) will like to donate part of their salary in 'protest' of being paid so high.
I see the rationale in that...
If he feels that the salary is too high after being elected into the office, he is free to donate to charities as he deems fit. Afterall, the donation is by him and if there is any karma from such a good deed, it is for his “benefit” anyway, to put it bluntly…
So I don’t agree that anyone should use this to campaign for votes. It is indeed like vote buying in my opinion.
Some charitable organizations should come out to endorse those promising to donate to charities… if I am running one, I would... :evil: -
Funz:
Many pple just want to see their own CPF money..Somehow I get the impression that the people want the govt to dig in more into the reserves to ease their lifelihoods while the govt is guarding that reserve tightly to the point of being tight fisted.
So do we want the EP to 'guard' the reserve or loosen that fist a little? -

When TT is Education Minister: He objected to establishing a 3rd university until Nanyang Technology Institute had been set up fully to become a full University (now NTU). In 1998, When asked if measures would be put in to protect Singapore students from competition \"There is no way in which you are going to be able to protect either Singaporeans or Singapore because we are a small country.\"
When TT is Defence Minister: His son defer 12 yrs of NSF and became a research scientist (what vocation is that?) after he came back to serve.
When TT is Minister for Trade and Industry: Oppose against building MRT.
When TT is GIC chairman: Lose how many billion?
When TT is SPH chairman: Our media ranked 154th.
When TT is president:..........[/quote]i must say he read very well from the paper -
I find TKL’s speech and behaviour today rather ‘entertaining’…
But really didn’t like the way he ‘included’ the late President Ong in his speech/talk…
JMHO -

The booing and jeering is very unsporting.

Saw the speeches on youtube and thought someone added in sound effects but it looks like the booing was real. But the pp on stage were very steady…none of them lost composure - all still fairly smiley. Either pretend dunno, or really never hear.
Whatever it is, quite unsporting to boo leh.
