I'm done listening to the same thing from the people in the same party over and over again. Time is the best truth and I have seen enough by this point.

[@mitsubishilancer727]

Biggest concern is high cost of living and unstability in jobs. Can u help us???

[@kennethlim210]

Reducing GST in the future will be great for all.

[@deschan2246]

He said gst 9% hike can only last till certain years. Meaning there will be another hike less than 10 yrs

The country, has to “contend with a group of self-proclaimed “exceptionals” whose vision for the country is wrung from decades of withering groupthink”. Chee Soon Juan SDP

[@miklee4834]

He was on TV telling the people no need to wear a mask.

[@chrisck3405]

If you're such a smart Alec, you should be in the government. obviously you are not qualified. never mind, ask your kids to study hard so that they can be a minister in future and tell them not be be like you.

[@martinbrock713]

To expect them to evolve with the people and imagine a free, inclusive and democratic Singapore is to indulge in flights of fancy,” said Dr Chee Soon Juan

[@tankman20064]

Like USA ? Now a pile of what😂😂😂

[@acpanda6372]

Like USA? Guns and Roses?

[@PAPhypocrisy]

Think CECA Think FTs Think can you trust PAP

[@happymelon7129]

Lawrence Wong : “We are very careful when we conduct relations with both China and Taiwan that is consistent with our 'one China' policy,” he said. “And we do not allow ourselves to be made use of for any causes supporting Taiwanese independence.”

[@anziar3038]

Wow! It's so obvious that PAP is the only competent and responsible party in s'pore. Awesome PAP!❤❤

[@namazlur78]

In a very controlled environment he can manage but if become a true democracy country he would be struggling

[@acpanda6372]

Like US ? Guns and Roses?

[@AleksiIvanov-kz5yb]

SG is never a Democratic country in the first place.

New broom sweep clean

[@kongthai..]

Interesting talk. 😂

[@martinarchie2902]

Lawrence Wong is a Hobson’s choice for the prime ministership. Can you imagine Lawrence Wong playing the guitar when Singapore is in crisis? Singapore is blessed to have him as our next prime minister, and we now have to make the best of it.

[@Hs5687]

Likely the 1st PM to Get SUED 😊

[@kongthai..]

Why? 😂

Chinese: 5000 years Angmohs: 500 years Singaporeans: 50 years Yeah, it's going to be very messy. A little confused Singapore is going to face a lot of problems. Ha ha ha!

[@deioped]

China in its current form is less than 50 years lmao. Dont forget that the commies disowned their history during the cultural revolution. Taiwan and even Japan is more China than China today.

[@Buttercookies0]

I think you are the confused one.

[@deioped]

China has barely 30 years lmao. That country in its current state disowned and destroyed its whole 5000 years history in the cultural revolution. Japan though, has 2000 years already.

[@GASIA-cw8iw]

@@deioped The gap is too big so I can't help you. My advise to you: Those words will make you the most unsophisticated dinner at the table during any important dining event. Ha ha ha!
