Do all of us know what is a strong mandate? - A strong mandate means you empower your G and trust them to do the right things and policies. So, after you give them a mandate, they will come out with all the right things and policies. At this point, there are lots of hearsay this will come, that will come. And they are waiting for your strong mandate only😂😂😮😭

I don't want to give them strong mandate to screw me back. I prefer some checks and balances.

The best testimonial to harm for giving the incumbent 2/3 majority. Is there any meaningful debate going on in the parliament? Everything can bulldozed through.😩

Singapore's GST hike to go through after Bill passed in Parliament, with opposition MPs recording dissent

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/singapore/singapores-gst-hike-go-through-after-bill-passed-parliament-opposition-mps-recording-dissent-3050296

Singapore's impending GST hike will kick in from next year after Parliament on Monday (Nov 7) passed a Goods and Services Tax (Amendment) Bill, although opposition MPs who were present recorded their dissent.

This means GST will increase from 7 per cent to 8 per cent from Jan 1, 2023 and from 8 per cent to 9 per cent from Jan 1, 2024.

This 1 only need 50%.

2/3 majority allows constitution change.

It is likely there are a number of large expenses in the pipeline in 2023 and 2024.

Why do they work so hard to be elected? Passion or make more money could be their objectives. Then, they have to serve us earn them not tell us we have no right to ask. Not willing to serve please leave, there is a queue from Jurong to Orchard Road.

I want to give them a good mandate. but it seems like it is a party living in denial. There are a hell of mess on the road, drivers totally disregard to the traffic rule and super high COE, and with all these. The minister come out and say nothing is wrong. It is sign that they don't know what is happening, or just pretend don't know. Still want a strong mandate? 

83 : 9 + 2. Why should they care?

PAP playing racist card and stirring sh*t yet again. 🤥 

It is not an issue with race for the man on the street, but instinct reaction when a person's rice bowl is at stake. Please get the point right dear Mr. LEE! Honestly I am still feeling sore with our "Malay" president saga. Time for a blue sky for me.

PM Lee however saved the majority of his ire for politicians and political parties that he said "stirred up resentment in order to gain political advantage".

"They tear relentlessly at fault lines", he said "residents versus foreigners, citizens vs PRs, even old citizens versus new."

PM Lee accused such politicians as veering "into racist territory" and that "they talk about a certain trade agreement, but actually they're talking about a certain race".

 

Same sentiment here.
