We must have more oppositions in parliament as they are very capable of good solutions. PAP are all yesman and produce solutions that are group-think and sometime lean towards own self-interest or face saving. Very disappointing especially for transport.

Singapore must try very hard to avoid having the Government be the sole solution to all problems.

Professor Kishore Mahbubani believed that Qatar’s fundamental error was to have acted without considering its power position as a “small state”. He saw its regional difficulties as a product of its hubris and, turning to Singapore, had the following advice for small states:
What’s the first thing we should do? Exercise discretion. We should be very restrained in commenting on matters involving great powers.
Hence, it would have been wiser to be more circumspect on the judgment of an international tribunal on the arbitration which the Philippines instituted against China concerning the South China Sea dispute, especially since the Philippines, which was involved in the case, did not want to press it.
When I hear some of our official representatives say that we should take a “consistent and principled” stand on geopolitical issues, I am tempted to remind them that consistency and principle are important, but cannot be the only traits that define our diplomacy. And there is a season for everything. The best time to speak up for our principles is not necessarily in the heat of a row between bigger powers."

Singapore must never be seen to be "playing multiple sides", Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong
"We must have a stand, our own position, and we stick to that position whomever we are talking to, whichever country or capital you are in," he said.
"When you make a speech, the gist of the message has to be the same. That's what I try to do, and that's what I tell the leaders I'm speaking to whether I'm in Washington, Hangzhou, Tokyo, Europe or Moscow. My essential message is the same."
Note
Rightly or wrongly, Singapore cannot accept alternative views. Then, solely bears the burnt.

There are many daft S'poreans who respond gleefully whenever the COE premiums rise; even going to the extent of wishing for them to hit $200K. Imagine what happens when business costs go up? Prices will keep rising for consumers regardless of whether they own a car or not.

Why should PM care what Micklethwait said,
if he has no heart or no solution left for Sporean,
then step down earlier to be senior minister.
Almost all countries facing election will give some packages.
No need to explain.

No humans in the universe will ever think he is god to solve everything. Secondly, Singapore is not Singaporeans where his English is a great diservice to him. Lastly, if this Govt allows UK, China or Australia to govern, we are happy to approach them instead. In all, terminate your incompetent Ministers and Mayors.

Our politicians tell Sinkies to be prepared for foreign competition for our jobs, but they aren't willing to face the same threat to their livelihood.

The prices of hdb flats are crazily high that bites into the costs of living, especially those who are planning to hv a family. Housing is a necessity with a roof over head. And yet, these PApAya claimed it is affordable. This is totally outrageous and uncalled for. Simply pushing problems into our shoulders when they are the creator of all these issues.
