It is slowly being depleted by the high pay of the cabinet and his spouse. Rumours floating around mentioned she earned around $100 M per year? Maybe false, I dont know

The most pressing problem is the excessive import of FTs and esp. PCB CECAs that snatch our PMET jobs by making employers addicted to them like cocaine as they are willing to work OT everyday, on weekends and carry balls at a lower salary.

Every year budget always surplus (99%), some balances transfer to reserves for future uses. Forever there is reserves but not enough to for papayas agendas. Under them it now seems to take longer to build up all over again. Careless investment into eg FTX (a crypto trading exchange platform) and all other cyrpto startups, India's new city $Bs investment gone into the drain due to change of political party all totally write off. No wonder now this kancheongness reminder. Urgent need to change those in charge for such unnecessary losses.

This statement is flawed and I do not agree.
Any national or bank reserves can be built again and again. That is why the Govt can take the reserves out to use during Pandemic. It is ridiculous to say come out cannot go in.

Maybe he should attend LinkedIn, Skills Future, Finance courses
to learn to build our reserves
or else please sue Straits Times or POFMA Heng SK
Singapore must ensure it can build back reserves, should need arise to draw on them again: DPM Heng | The Straits Times

Why do we need 5 Mayors and 80 PAP Ministers?

Seriously can PM Lee affirm that his team CANNOT rebuild the reserves once used? If his team can't do so, please lead the entire PAP party to quit the govt now, it saves us some money so we can preserve the reserves better. At the same time, close down gic and temasek.
Just get the head of civil service to do the basic administrative job. Have MAS just regularly invest into a simple indexing fund on the SNP500, DOW and NASDAQ will be fine for us. Minimal cost and simple indexing over the very very long term with our reserves.

Three possibilities.
1st because HC is no longer cEO of TH , all these decades she is the one
2nd external environment, world is going to have slower growth in coming decades
3rd spending increase is going higher than investment returns

Is PM Lee the first PM who started accumulating Singapore reserves?
Out of 58 years independent, PM Lee only in office for 18 years IE less than >30% and already he's facing problems. What happened?

temasek has lots of foreign talent and most losses stem from them in charge eg ftx, abc children care in down under. Ah Ching herself kept telling other govt divisions to look into the crypto space.
