This is a lesson in civility more than anything else. What an example this sets for the society!

He don't need any papers to speak. He speak from his mind. That's how a True Prime Minister should be.

So nice to see such high level, classy and intelligent debate. Show case what democracy really should be.

He was giving tutorial to politicians on how SG House should think, argue, position and voice. Love it!!

Tharman is gifted with Intelligence n Knowledge. We are Gifted n Blessed to have him in our Country. Krishna Bless you Tharman.

I really like to listen to senior minister Tharman speeches filled with wisdom and knowledge!

“Try to avoid that manner of argument, of painting everything in Binary terms” wow, amazing way of putting something in utmost diplomatic way., every close minded human has to take note..

I can seriously feel the burn...from my screen.

CONGRATULATION , SINGAPORE for producing high-quality leaders to talk sense. It is most enlightening and i ntelluctually - stimulating to hear them present their points

Hi..! Tharman is a Great Leader..! Respected by Citizens across the broad spectrum...!

Two gentleman have spoken both my fav both have valid points

if there is a choice to pick someone to represent SG after PM Lee, it wud be Mr Tharman

DPM Heng has left the chat

he speaks so well gosh

Well articulated by our Mr Tharman Singapore is lucky to have such a talent

Its great that we are having this debate in the first place

Tharman 'the man'. Definitely PM calibre, but the decision is made.

Tharman's voice can be those narrator in movie

His voice is mesmerising ❤️

A concise, objective and respectful exchange. This is the standard I hope Sg Parliament can maintain. I cling on to every word that SM Tharman says.

I love hearing Singapore Parliamentarians. Very clear and the debates are very gentle.

Tharman shld be PM.

Good speech

I've been watching MS videos for a long time. Today, I finally subscribed because of the title

To me, SM Tharman is a wise and respectable person, just just in SG but also globally!

Class!

Tharman rocks!

Uuuuh love love my hero

Senior Minister using Pilot G2. It really is a workhorse no matter if you're a student or politician

Well done Mr Tharman

honestly a debate between tharman and jamie would be the best

What separates entitlement from privilege is gratitude

Every time I saw him at taman jurong hawker centre greeting the diners there, I felt shy to go up and say hello to him ☺.

Look how DPM Tharman talk compared to Heng Swee Kiat & PM Lee..

It feels like Humble speech from great Mr tharman. Seem like he is actually guiding Mr jamus Lim. Very very hard to get this chance to listen wisdom speech from Mr tharman 👍👍👍👍

Sm, well said .

In Tharman, we believe.

One is highly seasoned finance minister, potential for PM or Chairman of World Bank. The other is an employee who call himself economist riding on popularism.

SG too small for Tharman if only he could be the leader of the region

Tharman v Jamus is very interesting cause I really like both, tharman Abit more but still really interesting to watch

Tharman spoke intelligently. He has the credential, charismatic, intellectual of PM.

The man who, had he been allowed to be pm, will completely decimate the opposition on his reputation alone, not to mention his know how. pap done goofed.

I sincerely hope from PAP , Opposition team work for Singapore 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏not for the parties we vote not to see arguments just for the benefits of yourself but for us Singaporeans in this generations and our next next generations hope pls bring up necessary comments , ideas, feedbacks for the benefits of our nation and suggestions to bring our Singapore to a stable , open , diverse community I hope you all can share ideas openly not just one give ideas, then don’t accept another suggestions, not every one of us like to see fighting and just hear negative comments we want a better future as what covid19 had cause to our life and many leaders had fail to keep their citizens safe and thks for most Singaporeans who at least have some trust to the government, experts to cooperate with them and today we feel at least pressure of this virus as our neighbours are facing now 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏they can overcome all this mess , hope we can share or lend support to them if they ask for guidance 😀😊

Protect him at all cost

This is the next PM quality. I'm ready.

He needs to do asmr

I propose Mr Tharman to be selected to IMF to dissolve the financial crisis to the world he is a person who can withhold these responsibilities broad open creative and willing to listen person

Sm tharman has come to the rescue of PAP 4g lol

Be the next PM pls.

Wah Tharman 👍

Let's give deference to Mr Tharman. Better consider what he says.

Miss SM Tharman

Tharman the real polished 'economist' here. Great U turn from Jamus 'The economist' Lim too!

Minimal wages make more alien so happy whole country want to come here 👽💰👏👍

WP suggested $1300 a month as minimal wage. It is said that this is the amount need to survive in SG. I think they gotten the data from Avg Household Expenditure for Basic Necessities, I'm not sure about this. According to MOM calculations of hourly wage for employee that drawing monthly wage: (Monthly wage x 12) / (52 x 44) $1300 a month = $15600 a year 52 weeks a year, 44 working hours. $15600/52/44 = $6.81 With minimum wage of $1300/mth. Employers need to pay $6.81/hr to part timers. Up to people to think that is $6.81 too much for some jobs. I'm not sure why is it reasonable to have jobs that can't even pay the basic living allowance.

it will be a joke that such talent will become a puppet president

Can deputy prime minister talk like both of this gentleman ??. The answer is NO 😂😂😂

Mr Tharman is definitely PM material.

that shine tho

Only another economist can see through the smoke that Janus has laid

Tharman is the minister i respect.

I still wish he can be my PM.

I believe majority of the beneficiaries for minimum wage policy are the elderly that are doing non-contract part time jobs. To be frank, companies have no incentive to offer contract positions for elderly because of the potential employee's protection and insurance. Quoting from MOM website "A part-time employee is one who is under a contract of service to work less than 35 hours a week." and "Wages and PWM bonus for part-time workers will be pro-rated." In my limited experience, part-timers usually do not sign contracts for the job (unless its an established company/MNC) and works in an informal arrangement. So I believe this is a possible loophole for companies to take advantage of elderly giving them low wages. This may be why there might be a case to argue for minimum wage. What do you all think?

"monopoly over compassion". Someone has been listening to Jamus... hehe

He’s the very very best of the lot. Mr Tharman for PM.

Tharman is such a hottie...

Tharam should be the Prime Minister.

how not to pay them too much. how not to pay them too little. just pay them enough so that they keep on working and working and working. that is compassion.

😊

his head is brighter than my future

I respect exchanges of intelligences, regardless of party; I thank you all, for sharing your thoughts...

Comes and talks to any Malaysian MP, you will find alot of joke of century, especially Kuti Baling kedah haha

Yes 🙌 unless this wages is the standard protocol as I heard tender for some work drop extremely low price that is the reason our engineering shift to others sector

Why are people so impressed "wow, this politician speak so well! great!". While I agree DPM Heng may not the most charismatic speaker. I do think deep down, he is one of the most talented policy maker that even LKY put him by his side for a long time.

i love the title of this video haha

👍

Tharman swee...

yo dude, Tharman is great, but i just wanna say his head is so🌟 shiny 🌟

But some employers realy pay very little esp to elderly who do jobs like dishwasher eg like 5 dolar n hour in todays inflation is unacceptable

No matter what ,we must help the common man in singapore living in hdb 5 rms to 3 rms to rental flats. 2021

No hard cash handout, but wayang within isolated mony for public. Exmple: workfare, hdb, midisave and etc. No mater how, pap must win, right. Well said in a way.

No one should have a monopoly on power xD

Efficiency and equity on the same level are not easy without good ancient moral education collectively since birth, in which the monopoly of compassion derived from. The loving of every mother in Singapore towards their child is equity but the efficiency varied in diversified degrees. 😅

Who says just because one is ex PAP candidate, he/ she is inferior choice against a so-called independent candidate. As long as the person is his own man, this criteria is not important. The president is above politics. Remember Ong Teng Cheong? He certainly was an independent ex PAP man. So, there are many other factors to consider the suitability of a person to become the President of SG.

Why future PM nv debate?

Uses a Pilot G-2 pen. 'nuff said.

When he talks...I will listen

Tharman put the hse in order and basically telling opposition stop bickering

To win votes, have to appease citizens. To be ahead of the world, have to have unfavorable policies. Choose.

"TheMan"

Put it simply, minimum wage means saying Bye-Bye to jobs. It's due to the open economy that makes things a lot cheaper hence affordable. 😅 Meanwhile learn from the animals, try hibernation & wait for a solution. The Economy is not as easy as ABC. Just an advice: 要求不高，就比较容易满足。If your expectations are not high, it's easier to be contented. A contented person is a happy person.❤SG

Meanwhile, across the causeway... chaotic parliament is making waves on social media 😅 hopefully some day we can also learn the best things from our neighbour lol

Who says Singapore is not ready for a non-Chinese PM? Utter rubbish. SM Tharman has such wisdom and diplomat flair about him. Representing Singapore in the world stage is 🙌🏻

Tharman in da hse.

Shiny head.

even the well respected tharman "erm" "er' all the time. who' give the right for education intuition the rights to penalized us for the same on graded presentations.

Tharman 4 PM.

Mr. President never lost his glow. 😂

Wouldn't be surprised... He gets nominated for Nobel prize in economics for coming up with ways to improve wages and stuff for workers, locally and internationally. But...then again I wouldn't know better.😁😅
