That’s the whole idea. No need to go deeper.

Have you not watched a debate?

That's the more reason why we should get the PAP down and more Oppositions in for a more open and progressive and democratic Singapore society!

Lol you clearly dont know what is a debate. And also if u want to hear issues being discussed in depth thats called parliament meeting.

School debate. Got timing🤣

The is the first time i see him talk, he is sharp indeed. To draw comparison, i have seen Chan Chun Sing in action before. Jamus sharpness and speed reminds me of Chan.

He joined wrong party

Mark my words, he will be kickout soon.

Should have join sdp

Col sdp got lesser chance wp is now strongest opposition..why u think so what’s ur view on why he should join sdp?

Hahhahahha

Awesome

I dont know why he must say this too.

@@lynnkueh85 he wants to copy his homework.

it's a praise. PAP have the same thought as them .. just that they are focusing on other matters and not just what WP have manifested.

I totally agree. Debating is NOT equivalent to arguing! Healthy debates from all parties are necessary in politics

kelele i believed parties can all come together discuss and work better plans for sg..one party rule will destroy the whole system..multi parties government will be gd for sg future next 10 years..if wp do well they can take over pap in 10 years..

*SINGAPORE SHOULD PLAN FOR POPULATION OF 10 MILLION* www.businesstimes.com.sg/top-stories/singapore-should-plan-for-population-of-10m *'On the projected population of 6.9 million by 2030, set out in the Government's 2013 Population White Paper, Mr Heng said the number goes beyond how densely populated Singapore would be.* The social space is as important. Singapore's population density is not excessive, he said, noting that other cities are a lot more crowded in terms of liveable space. *He cited former chief planner Liu Thai Ker, who said in 2014 that Singapore should plan for 10 million people for it to remain sustainable in the long term.'* www.straitstimes.com/singapore/sporeans-must-remain-open-to-foreigners-says-heng

@@LKJSPH but that wasn't said by heng swee keat

ONe is a professor in economics , the other is .....

no it is not respect. It is political play. Dr V is saying "WP's manifesto is not much different from PAP" - subtly inviting voters to vote PAP instead. I shall say that both parties are very different in the form of the origin, intent and execution of these policies. i.e. the heart

@@jeremychan609 the same can apply. To vote for wp whose policies are people centric. Works both ways

PAP, one vs three Opposition, you called it skew towards the incumbent.. LOL

@@MrLEECHINSOON Whatever you're high on, it seems to be working.

How is that so? Everyone has about 1 min to ask a question and about 1.5 mins to answer it. Total time might overall be more for Dr Balakrishnan just because he is being queried by all 3 opposition members and he had to reply to all 3 of them. Perhaps the CNA should also have the opposition parties question each other to even out the total time, and make you happy. But I am not sure the opposition members would like that, as they will be squaring off each other, not just the incumbent. The approach CNA has taken in fact favours the opposition, as it does not allow the opposition to query each others policies.

@@MrLEECHINSOON Skew in the sense he has more time and the final say. In any debate , the one who has the final say has the advantage. Is that not skewed?

@@eduardoking8402 That's one point of view. Why can't everyone get the same questions and equal time for replies. That's part 1 . Then they can have a part where they can have a free debate with the moderator apportioning time for that. If you watched the American presidency primaries and election, all candidates have fair amount of time. Why can't we have it too?

yes, the building up to that answer is too long, i will want to know the answer as well. that measure if PAP is capable enough to lead the country alone without other party, but guess we wont hear about it again unless Jamus or WP able to bring that up in Parliament again.

Yes... Good question, 1. Stimulus package is from reserves 2. Let me tell you how come we have reserves 3. Yes efficacy needs to be measured. 4. How is Singapore built upon, productivity wise, high tech and investment will not produce the same efficacy.... Hmm... I thought Jamus was asking about the efficacy of the stimulus packages? Like do they produce the intended results? But why is it that Vivian didn't seem to know the direct answer, but instead skirt around the question? In fact, what is their intended result of the 4 stimulus packages? What is their goal in no uncertain means? So far all we know is that those stimulus packages protect jobs, but how many and what kinds of jobs are they supposed to protect? If we don't have a goal when enacting a plan, then how do we know if the plans are successful? It's easy to throw money to solve a problem, but if it isn't a long term solution then it's like paying ransom to unlock a ransomware. It never ends, but you have to keep paying in order to keep things going.

@@John-el5sv Heng swee keat miscalculated the stimulus packages as some companies return the money even. This is 1 of the reason he stepped down. Their over emphasis on capital and giving too much to the companies instead of people.

Very unprofessional of Bala to use such terms.

Thier twists n turns dispened ice cream also very good.

what a joke😏

@@jambulrizal5531 joke🤗 lol

Why are PRs categorized as locals? CAn a PR vote? Why can't the figures show only citizens?

PMET is a nonsensical category to start off. The salary ranges differ by 10X or more. How is this a meaningful category? This is BS to confuse and hide behind big numbers. Each P or M loss to a foreigner could range from $100K to $300K multiply by tens of thousands...and their family members..you get the picture.

The govt is elected by the citizens and rightly should look after its citizens first, especially when there is no umemployment welfare in Sg. As Mr Yuen said there are 100,000 unemployed PMETS. He correctly said that the govt should repatriate 100,000 Foreign PMETS. Only if there are excess jobs then only they can be offered to foreigners. Otherwise how do all the unemployed PMETS feed their families? What is the govt answer? There is no relevance between work permit holders to local PMETS. 60% local PMETS is not good enough.

He brings up a clear falsehood. Where does your anxiety come from? No one ever said that Singapore will have 10 million population. Worried over nothing? This Chee lying out of his ass, deserves to be called out and shut down

Where does this anxiety come from? The 10 million population planning has never ever been said or reported by anyone other than his party. Anything close to it is merely the urban planning of 10 million to create enough space in hundred of years to come. I think your anxiety stems from listening to falsehoods by Chee. 🥴

Ng Ng so you’re saying they’re planning to create space for 10m for absolutely no reason at all? Yes, they don’t have a target on how much the population should be, but having a 10m urban development plan shows clear intentions of bringing in foreigners to fill the population gap. Also, Dr Chee simply quoted the article of “toying” with the idea of increasing population to 10m and asked for clarification if this would really be the case, so how is there any falsehoods here?

To be honest, PMET jobs want younger ppl that can grow and stay with the organization. You can work as a consultant actually.

Few days back PSP did share with the media why must submit the script 48 hours early, definitely can answer all questions ask him immdedialy they will answer but keep on repeat the same reply or rounding here n there to waste time or make the person who ask this question angry..

Singapore University is capable of producing 100% purely intelligent Singaporeans Best Sons and Daughters!.

@@user-ib2nv2ht4f You still don't get it. Jamus outshines. Whatever you say also no use. You cannot debunk the Truth. Education results is all you know. That's why I said what I said.

Nah Chee did not even answering the question. you may not like PAP, but don't be blinded by the angst and automatically think what Chee say is right. His policy is indeed flawed.

1PieceofLuffy wow MediaCorp cannot end few minutes later? You think got that much people waiting for the 9pm drama ah

How is that authoritarian?

Authoritarian rule is to enforce absolute obedience or they would use draconian punishments on you. Normally in dictatorships where the political opponents would be sent to prisons or assassinated. They do not allow you to think differently and will subject the citizens to extreme re-education and propaganda. The citizens will become mindless drones. Not telling people how much reserves is not authoritarian. Autocracy is basically a supreme power or heard of state that rules by itself and doesn’t allow their citizens to vote. How can a single MP be an autocrat when we are literally in a election? Don’t use words that you don’t even know the meaning of. It really makes you look like a fool.

yes ! PAP owns mcdonald, 711, bossini and Watson too !! they control the price .. why so expensive !

Exactly, think you analyst issues better than most of our MPs who earn millions but still unable to solve current issues. We have enter 2020, if we dont resolve these issues quickly our core will erode slowly and SG income gap between classes will get wider and wider.

Actually government help singaporeans people alot but i think singaporeans people take government for granted so they should learn how to appreciate what government help them not just keep on complaining.

@@lt5912 So you can ask singaporean people are they willing to work long and tough hours jobs, then i can tell you none singaporeans people want to work that kind of job, that why singapore government hire foreigners to work on that kind of jobs, so i think singaporean people should appreciate and feel content what the government have help and provide them. I think singapore government really help and fork out alot to help singaporeans people so those people should vote wisely. Also singaporean people dont take government for granted.

@@lt5912 Even though the employers pay more to their worker can you promise that they will done a nice job and not just keep on take their boss for granted. Seem you have so many unhappiness things then you can vote for oppo parties. Because my views are that singaporean people should learn how to appreciate and content what government help and provide them. Not take governement for granted Plus not government want to hire foreigner to work just that singaporean people not willing to work that kind of jobs that why they keep saying the boss pay them less but not more also i am sure that if you have talent then the boss sure will pay you more in that jobs.

@Lawrence w0nq For example government can give back all the money to the tax payers peoples but once the people use all their money already then they still will go back to the government ask them for help Then i think in the end singapore will ended up no money like their foreign countries is that what you want to see it.

Well ..yeah I agree we hope to see them in parliament too ... you said - he (Jamus) a bit on the ‘atas “ = higher class... I think we shd also ask ourselves - if we can give votes to the ‘atas’ candidate of the incumbent ... why can’t we have “atas” alternative voice for the opposing side? Surely We need opposition with class right ? Not an “atas” someone who keeps rambling about “East Coast plant 🌱 ...“ 🤣

Be cheap like them, that's what I did. When the indians come in first - I value add by being bilingual and usually HQ in US loves Singaporeans and if u demand the same pay as them usually you have an advantage. I learn from the Indian's their technical skills and I prove myself to be an effective project manager being having a passport that can travel almost anywhere and able to manage project in most Asian cities. When China invaders came, I did the same and progress and survived. Now with my rich resume and experience, I survived various retrenchment. One of my boss ever ask me where should he place me in a project, I told him I am a survivor, u put me anywhere I will succeed. Sun does not shine everyday, Vivian was right when he says we must save for rainy days. Always always be willing to do beyond what others does - u will succeed.
