National Day message: PM Lawrence Wong says govt to redouble efforts to keep cost of living stable

[@bennysoh7857]

1. Please remove all the 5 mayor, we are such a small nation. We dont really need mayor's. Save the money and use it at somewhere else. 2. Please 🙏 🙏 🙏 change the traffic laws and made it tougher especially hit & runs, drive without licence & insurance, speeding and killed someone. 3. Stop increase things at 30% percent one go. Really hate it. Water price increase 30% and property tax increase more than 60% at one go. How can we manage that ?? Hope to see improvements.

[@ran9080]

Then justice created the beautiful paradise. It is outside the circuit of the moon and the circuit of the sun in the luxuriant earth,which is in the east in the midst of stones. And desire is in the midst of trees, since they are beautiful and appealing. And the tree of immortal life, as it was revealed by the will of god, is in the north of paradise to give life to the immortal saints,who will come out of the fashioned bodies of poverty in the consummation of the age. Now, the color of the tree of life is like the sun, and its branches are beautiful. Its leaves are like those of the cypress, and its fruit is like clusters of white grapes. Its height rises up to heaven. And next to it is the tree of knowledge, possessing the power of god. Its glory is like the moon shining forth brilliantly,and its branches are beautiful. Its leaves are like fig leaves,and its fruit is like good,delicious dates. And this tree is in the north of paradise to raise up the souls from the stupor of the demons,so they might come to the tree of life and eat its fruit and condemn the authorities and their angels. The effect of this tree is described in the Holy Book as follows: You are the tree of knowledge, which is in paradise,from which the first man ate and which opened his mind, so that he loved his female partner,and condemned other alien likenesses,and loathed them. Now,after this there sprouted up the olive tree,which was to purify kings and chief priests of justice,who will appear in the last days. The olive tree appeared in the light of the first Adam for the sake of the anointing that they will receive.

PM Wong, Sir! Thank you for your hard work! ❤❤❤ Please realign PAPs' values. People over profits & not the other way around. Don't sell Income. No more gerrymandering & fixing the oppo. Food prices and QUALITY are equally important. Never mess with Singaporean's Hawker culture with burdensome high rents & oppressive contracts. Consider switching HDB 99 yr lease to freehold considering the impact of the 4th industrial revolution that will impact our young people's job prospects profoundly to help lessen their burden so that many may inherit some wealth. Remove GRC so that we will get high quality MPs who has to fight for their seat by their own merit. You may pair minority race MPs for certain constituencies to ensure minority representations. This new world requires you to step up with bold policies. Don't just stick to the old playbook from your predecessors as they have lost their effectiveness. Your courage to take drastic measures is required. Let's also move towards a first world parliament & acknowledge the contributions of the opposition party members who had to face insurmountable challenges to bring important concerns across. We look forward to your strong leadership. Happy National day! Thank you & God bless Singapore! 😊😊😊

[@benjaminthamy.k.7414]

@jwcas318 Well commented. Any new playbook recommendations for Singapore, categorizing different generation?

[@jwcas318]

​@benjaminthamy.k.7414 mentioned quite a few principles in my comments. Key principle is to focus on our people, our community and our nation. Let's us be proud to be Singaporeans again! Leave no one behind. Encourage empowerment, autonomy and gracious initiatives. For example CDC vouchers: Empower those who don't need them to donate to those who need them more. This fosters a more gracious/caring society and allow those who are better off to give the needy a helping hand. Reduce hawker centers stall rents to reduce cost of food at the same time explore how we can make new neighborhood eateries more happening like Timbre at Ayer Rajah to liven up the heartlands. Amy Khor's 10 cent beverage container is a nightmare policy in the making as it just creates resentment to make it mandatory to charge 10 cent deposit upfront per can/bottle. Alernatively, we may create initiatives for older and poorer folks to participate in the beverage container collection, allowing them the opportunity to benefit from it. We urgently need to empower our people. Make them feel that they have the power to make their lives better and as a people, we look out for one another. This is currently deeply missing in our society. 🙏🙏🙏

New Zealand GST is 15%, and their inflation is higher and longer than Singapore's. GST had to be increased sooner or later, that's unavoidable. For Singapore it was actually a good time to increase cos it also helped tame inflation pressures; the only other alternatives would have been to effectively keep interest rates inflated, which would have severely slowed down the economy and lead to a lot of job loses, or (equivalently) allow the SG dollar to appreciate drastically, which would have made SG products less competitive and probably use up more of our reserves to do so.
