Y does Singapore need so many MPs n Ministers?

They set up business in those countries to serve the local demand because they have big population. As simple as that. Singapore population too small but its stable government is the reason why they set up base here as regional HQ. Go find a brain and read up before replying.don't be naive, if foreign investors can set up business in places like mynmar, india, taiwan, and many other countries with more unstable politics, do you think they will be affected by opposition taking over the government in the world's safest country? I think pappy supporters like you are just feeding into the myth to scare others. our neighboring countries full of corruption why are investors still investing in these countries? think you should study where investors are moving now before passing baseless comments. investors are moving into politically unstable regions where vast opportunities lie, our country is far from unstable and we have zero tolerance for corruption, so why would investors runaway? use your brains before you speak

All that said, I do see that most SGporeans seem very proud and ego now ... Maybe they are just putting up a front ... They really think nothing can fail in this country ... This is a country, not just any company or organisation, a misstep will come at a huge cost to the people ... As we have seen over the past years

Please do not compare democracy in Singapore to one of the developing country. We are different and we will not votes because of some sweet talk from politicians. Most Singapore will vote for our future, not short term excitement.
Junior
sounds like u are describing the pap, haha.
Junior
at that time, you will not dare to hoot one more ppty. because it is a downward spiral and whatever ppty you hoot will become even more hootable after you buy.Haha if it comes true, I am sure damn happy cos I can finally hoot my dream property! Will definity vote opp to make it happen then

ya lor. even LTK himself admit they not prepare to run govt and it was not their intention to do so. the msg is quite clear. the question is whether voters get the msg or not.we never said we are the best, neither did the opposition. both pap n opposition agree that there is a lot of hard work ahead n Singaporeans are behind what they say. are you hallucinating?
Newbie
We need to have opposition and hope the opposition (WP) can deliver what they have promised.
Since everyone is unhappy with current high costs of living (actually not just in Singapore), I would like to see if WP have any ideas/ suggestions to that?
Coming up with an idea is not easy but opposing is easy.
Newbie
By that time it may be too late. The rich and the talented working class would have left this country. Like they always say it takes generations to build a country and one to tear it apart.
Newbie
Making the government"work harder" is even easier.
Junior
hello, what is happening in Malaysia can't even be mentioned in the same breathe in Singapore
investor confidence will get hit when there isn't stability in govt, or policies. please recall when govt tightened foreign labor supply a few months ago, SBF, CCC and couple of MNCs voiced their concerns in the newspaper - i.e. even if PAP is in power but no clarity in policies, investors also KPKB.
is opposition threatening to issue bans on cheong sam performances on stage?
is opposition threatening to ban female hairstylists from cutting men's hair?
is opposition threatening to burn bibles?
is opposition threatening to ban nightclubs?
is opposition threatening to ban use of 'Singapore' in stuff like singapore laksa, singapore chilli crab?

foreign companies set up their companies here and use Singapore as a base to reach out to Asia and the reliance on Singapore due to its geographical hasn't changed throughout history. why would our government be unstable just because the opposition were to take over? you are so gullible to even think that way. you are like a baby that is used to being fed by one bottle and the moment someone gives you a different bottle, you refuse to drink the milk thinking it is different

Can we trust politicians? Allthepies once mentioned that they all have their agendas.
Junior
i re-quote "all politicians are the same, the difference is in their abilities"
i dun trust any of them. but since i have to vote someone, then i guess have to choose someone to trust a little bit more.
Junior
WP is not going to take over the government anytime soon. It will not happen in 2016. It is actually a good thing as PAP lost touch with the ground for the past decade and pressure given by the voters will do more good than harm before social problems worsen further.
STI is relatively stable today. No worry. Cheers.

I agree with you. Am neither supporter of any party. I am waiting to see what the opposition can do or help out in our current situation.
Senior
many wish. when it happen all will have blank stare. not many will have the appetite to enter.

Then complain again lor.... tats the fashion now.

Aiyah dont waste ur time explaining. most want a reset to get a footing again. not realizing what they already have.keep screaming elite elite elite. no one understand me.
its like ur teenager who feel always mis understooded. just have to learn the hard way.

... unfortunately saying is easy, doing is another.as warren buffet says, be fearful when everyone starts buying, but buy aggressively when everyone is fearful.
Newbie
Ya, easier said than done, unless you already know what politicians and policy makers intend to do.
Buffett already knew the Fed policy and he is also a good friend of Barack Obama. What he knows is worth billions. People were willing to pay millions of dollar to just hear him give out some "hints".
But I think I'll lose less sleep to catch the bottom and than buy at the top.
If you buy at the bottom, at least, you know you don't have to wait too long to breakeven should it go down further.
Junior
Unfortunately.... how to tell it is the bottom or near bottom?Ya, easier said than done, unless you already know what politicians and policy makers intend to do.

When Citi dropped to only $1+ post Lehman, everybody thought it was going to fold.. you knew it was cheap but how many dared to buy?
I think it takes more than connections to do as well as Buffet. He was already very successful before he got the connections. Just like our very own Peter Lim in Singapore... these people have that little bit extra that makes them well ahead of others and able to quote quotes that ordinary folks can recite but find it hard to do.

Pls don't saying until like Pap is sky have. Earth don't have

Exactly
They can trust an unknown in PAP but they cannot trust WP

Don't anyhow say people selfish
The last time I commented that to a particular forummer that his view appears to me as purely based on monetary gain
He called me No brain, Stupid

Change is always hard to accept initially, i think the pappy supporters just have to get used to it moving ahead. WP field 9 good guys in parliament and they start to KPKB and try to pick bones in eggs, MIW have more than 3/4 of the 80+ candidates whom i really don't know what they are doing half the time but yet these supporters say nothing about them and no questions asked. I think these pappies are too used to autopilot mode until they become nervous when the plane is in manual mode.
