That's nothing new. Lee Hsien Loong didn't add anything new here.
Gamblers should support LHL, because he opened casino, so easier for them to gamble.

You mean our "fine" country? Or the impression that it's safe to move one's business to Singapore because the government had suppressed the local population so well that they do not need to fear local workers staging strikes/protests?

Ironically, the government talks about getting the young generation involved in politics when it restricts the population on political issues which doesn't go well with them.

that's why everything in politics feels so fake and staged in singapore.
all bullshit to let foreign idiots see.

how would LHL be remembered? what legacy would he leave behind after he steps down?
I don't think he would have contributed greatly to singapore. Yes the country did recover from the Lehmann brothers crisis but that's because the world economy picked up too since we are so export oriented.
The SPURS thing? That one was exploited by SMEs, contrary to what the papers report. It was a golden chance to milk taxpayers' $$ from the govt.
He is the only PM in any democracy the world over, to "debate" issues in parliament only after it has been passed. Think ministerial salaries, GST, casinos etc.

notice that the website I posted are not SG based. If it's SG based, I don't think people will find it credible since all news are floating around
What has he done? How can you not know?
HE INCREASE THE GST TO HELP THE POOR!!!
I remember something positive afterall...

Seriously, they have run out of ideas as to how to grow the economy.
The island is already flooded with cheap foreign workers to boost GDP.
I reckon GDP will start declining drastically soon because they simply cannot import any more cheap workers into the already crowded country.
sad thing is...cheap workers means a stagnation in income for the middle to lower income class. It will be like that perpetually.
lhl>>>>>bought topgun airplanes,made huge giant casinos..........took part in various marathons.......gave us Newater...........stocked up NTUC with alaskan crabs and scallops to keti salmon roe.......
money used and wont be coming out:topgun planes,marathons,food
money used and will see $$$ perhaps: Casino,Newater
money used and will see 100% $$$ from exports: ????
they champion newater, yet dare not market it on the shelves. And it's still being produced. So put it simply, Newater is the shit water that we drink when Sg has its water supply cut off by Msia.
That I would say is still an achievement because it ensures our survival for the time being. But for now, nobody dares drink sai zhui.
MORE ERP

He opened a fuck casino? Pay $100 then go in? This is hanging to their appetite, so they may not translate this to votes.
