CKP 3rd Gear November 3, 2011 Share November 3, 2011 Quote G20 must take quick and bold action to resolve EU crisis: PM Lee By Dominique Loh | Posted: 03 November 2011 2203 hrs Photos 1 of 1 PM Lee Hsien Loong (L) shakes hands with French President Nicolas Sarkozy as he arrives to attend the G20 Summit of Heads of State and Government in Cannes. (AFP PHOTO / LIONEL BONAVENTURE) CANNES, France: Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has called on the G20 to take quick and bold action to resolve the European debt crisis. It is Mr Lee's second time attending the summit, but his first address. Mr Lee told world leaders meeting in Cannes that festering issues, such as the crisis in Greece, will affect the global economy. Mr Lee believes there is a risk of recession in the EU in the coming year, as well as higher unemployment. The situation, he said, is serious and volatile, and could be worse than what the US faced in 2008. But a resolution may not come easy, as decision-making in the EU is more complex. Mr Lee said the only long-term solution is economic growth and job creation. But structural changes need to be made, and Mr Lee called on his audience to exercise political leadership, and act before it is too late. -CNA/ac http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin...1163324/1/.html I am proud of Singapore for "punching above its own weight" in telling others how to solve their problems. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donut Supercharged November 3, 2011 Share November 3, 2011 He will tell them to pay millions of salary to the EU ministers, so that the EU can be saved. "with a high pay, the ministers will be able to think and work better for the country's sake. If not, the ministers would feel ashamed and thus having no motivation to focus on the much needed work to be done" "the President must too be paid a fair share of the millions, so that he can entertain foreign visitors and attend charity shows" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
