Netizens criticize SM Lee’s fearmongering remarks, call for stronger opposition for checks and balances 

In a recent speech, Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong warned that slimmer electoral margins could restrict the government's ability to make long-term decisions. Netizens criticized him for perceived fearmongering ahead of upcoming election, arguing that despite a strong ruling party margin after GE2020, issues like rising prices persisted. Some called for a stronger opposition to ensure better checks and balances.

[Sentinel]

This is to justify why he still holding on to the Sec-Gen position and not irrelevant

Listen, we only listen to the PM

He better pass the Sec-Gen position to the PM imnediately and stop this wayang

[Gemstar]

A country whereby leaders initiate fearmongering is not worthy to be a leader. Leaders showing an upper hand is a failure and not fit to be a leader. It wil lead the country to nowhere.

Woody Goh once declared that the need for an effective check and balance is a lie since Pay And Pay are supposedly capable of being their own check and balance as they are an "honest" govt. Both have turned out to be lies.

When I saw iras collection for last FY was 80B+, I am like WTF. All the inflation were overdone and will be norm moving forward

The skillset of Temasek and GIC investment managers needs to brush up completely. Their long term investments look like liabilities.

[EvertonDiehard]

SM Lee is making up a non-starter argument or position of defence based on a cheap and weak argument that the opposing viewpoint does not actually present or defend. Think of it as a type of "boogeyman" that is not real. It is a false threat, and it holds no actual meaning. SM's argument only appeals to the ignorant.

PM can be fired if don’t fall in line with the SM? Whose the real leader then?

[Wy:Nox]

It is impossible to garner 70% Opposition votes to win another 1 GRC.

Just a puppet lah!  The puppeteer is still behind pulling strings lah!
