Top up what difference?
Do you know what you are talking about Mr. If_Interest_Rates_Increase_Bonds_Prices_Will_Increase?
Woooooo I'm so scared of MM Lee, i'm shitting in my trousers now
WP is just like the old time of pap during malaya ruling (BN).
Now, if pap really want to hold on to the power, shouldnt the mps/ministers really do the ground work and feel it themselves instead of reading from the figures pluck by the system and reports from your good presidend scholars?
I hope MM Lee can survive his term as a MP in parliament.
Remember to ask MM Lee to file for world record as the oldest MP in parliament.
He is telling us not to vote oppositions especially those in Aljunied.
So we have to vote PAP to give them the mandate to continue to become thieves, robbers, crooks to steal away jobs, rob us of our money.
People, don't forget about the article posted in Speakers Corner that recently they just sent CONTACT Singapore to Shanghai to recruit foreigners for jobs after they told us they will bring down the number of foreigners.
The double standard, hypocritical Stardust and his new clone nick is back. Prata prata, flip flip flip. flip here flip there
Mah said hdb is for living not for investment so what is this old heck lee telling us that the price in hougang not as high as other estates. Practically speaking those who are contemplating to buy HDB flats and parents who have kids would not want to see the HDB flats prices keep soaring if not they and the kids when they grow up cannot afford to buy HDB flats.
Old man Lee, Lim Swee Say talked about cheaper, faster and better. We also want cheaper, faster and better MPs, PM, and President. Can do away SM and MM positions.
I'm pretty politically apathetic, I'd say. But what I really don't get are a few things:
Well, though I personally think we don't know what will happen, but we'll see. I mean, that's what the GE's for, right? To see how things go.

- Why are there positions of SM and MM? If our dear MM's always pulling the strings, we won't need a PM innit?
- Politics are Politics but, seriously, why flame the opposition till this extent? I mean, LKY has a right to say that WP/NSP/SDP/RP or whatever has no track record but bloody hell, back in 1959, PAP didn't really have the track record too aye? People could've continued with LF if LKY didn't come out and thrashed everything they did. It's all about faith... if people believe that WP's for them, then they're probably right. We don't make choices without being informed first, right?
- PAP may be ROCK SOLID, but they aren't perfect. If other parties are offering solutions, why don't we try them? The education system here ain't perfect and PAP's the one behind it.
- "Don't rock the foundations", "Voters in Aljunied will regret it". Seriously man, he should stop it. The fact that he's STILL uncontested in Tanjong Pagar clearly outlines his desire to stay in government. Not cursing him here but if he stays around long enough for a switch in PM, would there be a SMM? Senior Minister Mentor position?
- The fact that he said "Muslims are the ones not integrating" already shows he doesn't come down to Earth. Not since he was (effectively) PM from 1965. That's why PAP Ministers always make comments that people get pissed about. Buses, MRTs sufficient during Rush Hour, much? Please.
Well, though I personally think we don't know what will happen, but we'll see. I mean, that's what the GE's for, right? To see how things go.
Old man lee always like to attack that politicians don't have track record, don't have experience. Before Obama was elected he said Obama has no experience. His son LHL also has no political experience but he was placed there to be minister.
it takes sometime to understand the beauty and truth of it....in times like this
The voters of Aljunied GRC are threatened. Period.
GE: Losing Aljunied "not end of world", says MM Lee
Posted: 30 April 2011 2049 hrs
SINGAPORE: Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew has said it would not be "the end of the world" if the People's Action Party (PAP) loses Aljunied GRC in this election.
Mr Lee was speaking to reporters on a wide range of issues about this election, including cost of living and the younger generation, at the Radin Mas branch after a meeting with party activists and PAP candidate Sam Tan on Saturday.
Asked about the possibility of the PAP losing Aljunied, Mr Lee said "losing one GRC does not mean the end of the world".
On the higher cost of living, Mr Lee said that the PAP has helped to resolve the problems by sharing the benefits of growth with citizens.
He said that was possible only because of a capable government and finance minister.
To give more to citizens, Mr Lee said the country needs to grow and not raid its reserves.
He cited the many initiatives that have helped Singaporeans cope such as Workfare, Grow and Share bonus and utilities rebates.
Mr Lee also took aim at the opposition's real motives.
Pointing to the Workers' Party's aim of capturing Aljunied GRC, he said every party sets out to win a majority to form the government.
"Let's have no hypocrisy about this," he said.

hahaah, old man like admitting defeat in advance indirectly.
Yes or no, results will show.
Let Them Lose. Le tthe the people decide. Do not slam each other. Be gracious and humble. I always believe politics is dirty- and the latest GE is no exception. Look at how the PAP belittles the other opposition parties. See how they slam LTK over his bid over Aljunid GRC. I wish there was only more alternative voices. Then the can at least keep an eye on the ruling party. No party is infallible and I believe PAP is the same. You cannot be the ruling party always. I will vote for any oppposition party who will fight for the rights of PRs here. Mr Goh made a very big maistake when he tried to limit the flow if foreign talents into Singapore. PR's have built a generation of ministers in Singapore and they should all the treated equally well. SM Goh's remarks abt PRs is a dissapointment. He shoudl learn not to be too blunt, sinister and arrogant but humble himself to the level of the commoners.
I will vote for any opposition party that works hard to fight for the rights of PRs.

Are you a PR here?
PRs in Singapore don't enjoy the kind of benefits that other countries are offering.

I dunno, but then I realised the game was lost.
sad
why do people expect oppositions to come up with solutions?
its not their job. they're there only to look for weaknesses in policies. its the job of the current govt to find solutions. thats why they are the govt!!! people who vote for oppositions are doing so they can have a voice in the parliament, not voting them to run the country.
