that is so true dr chee. the pap has failed us in turning our precious little country into a public place available for anyone out there to come freely and take whatever they wish. we need leaders who are patriotic and only have the interest of the people in their hearts. our country will rot away slowly with the way the pap directs us.

@ccchamoxa Know what minimum wage is. It is not aimed at the average Singaporean; it is aimed at the under-privileged. During the elections, the SDP proposed a minimum wage of around S$5. That would mean a minimum salary of $800 a month (assuming 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 4 weeks a month).

On a separate note, regarding immigration policy, xxtengteng is right. You can't cut immigration drastically. If you want to cut immigration, we have to balance this against the needs of businesses.

@xxtengteng :Did you remember when we had a shortage of teachers in the 90's ? what happened ? was it because Singaporeans didn't want to be teachers ? When the pay was adjusted up, how fast was it before this was no longer a problem ? If the cost of living keeps increasing while the wages are kept low through the importation of cheaper foreign workers, can you blame Singaporeans for being choosey ? What is the promise to Singaporeans if "affordable" is market based without minimum wage ?

didn't the bible teach you to not be judgemental.

didn't the bible teach you to react with understanding and empathy.

we MUST appreciate the excellent leaders? gosh.you're delusional.you've been brainwashed.

you appear to not know the issues affecting the less-fortunate in singapore. my plea to you, if you have too much free time, go help the less-fortunate people in sg instead of posting such ridiculous statements down here. then you'll understand why Dr Chee is saying all these.

@xxtengteng if you read Tan See Jay's 45 page paper on Singapore's economic policies and where it went wrong, the reason the PAP has been importing so many foreign workers is because they chose the wrong industry to use as the engine of growth- manufacturing which required a lot of manpower and land, both things we do not have. instead of going through politically painful economic restructuring they decided to prop up the industry by opening the floodgates instead. hence the situation now.

Hi Dr. Chee, your heart isn't right..... for evil heart speaks evils... We must appreciate the excellent leaders, who have done their possible best for our nation for the people so far; your dissatisfaction & your unknown motive drive you with wrong spirit.... not too late, let repent! Before God, His righteousness, speak true & kind words!
