We all know they too practise discrimination even against Singaporeans. They can have nice offices for Meet-The-People Sessions but the Workers' Party has only the void decks. So the common people meet their MPs in an uncomfortable environment.

Furthermore, there has been many a time I come across netizens making claims their FT bosses hire only his own countrymen, not even FTs from other countries. Does it take the government so many years to discover this what to us is common knowledge?

Is this the result of a close relationship among companies, unions and the Government???

Wise yet silly.

He tried to 'convinced' commuters, that he is looking into the problem, and what happened next? Public transport fare increase, but problem not solved. Has the problem been reduced? I don't know

His action has appeared as, wayang.

Last time? Last time best! Last time when Singapore was very young, the heads (ministers) goes down to the ground and monitor the problem and progress.

Better than recent years only, as in, just show face immediately after election and appointment as minister. Where is he now? Where are all the PAP ministers?

Not that I like KBW, but at least after he became Minister of National Development, he has been showing us follow up actions to his commitment to making public housing affordable. It almost appears like he is the only one serious enough to keep his words.
