He was from RSAF right? 

Only Commandos can do parachuting best .....

Pilots will never want jump out of aircraft .... Especially fighter pilots... 

It's the C130 transport guys to do such stuff.... To drop off the parachutists.....

Fighter squadron.... Only shoot and kill.... Never sit and jump....

The only time we need a parachute is when we need to eject from the aircraft..... 😅

Then we radio for heli guys to evac us.😅

Key point is current gov has not change in a long time since independent. And so it has become over dependent on something which is not a good thing and cannot change anymore.

I think there’s a bit of confirmation bias at play here and we often notice what supports our views and overlook what doesn’t.

It’s factually true that the PAP has remained the ruling party since independence. But to say the government hasn’t changed ignores the fact that the people leading it today are no longer the “grandfather-style” figures like LKY or SM Lee. Even LKY himself admitted people don’t want to listen to old men’s theories anymore, even if they’re right. And he was right.

That’s partly why I believe Lawrence Wong was chosen over Chan Chun Sing or HSK. While those two seemed to represent the more old-school, top-down leadership model, Wong appears more open, pragmatic, and in tune with today’s electorate, even if he’s not exactly young. His approach feels less rigid, and even his wife is seen as more relatable, less linked to the traditional government circles.

Under the 4G leadership, we’ve seen gradual shifts with more support for lower income workers, better upgrading opportunities for the middle class (like up to $72k study allowances for those over 40), and even policies helping singles and young couples get homes. That’s not the kind of flexibility you’d expect from a government that “cannot change.” 

If the PAP were truly stuck in the LKY era, we will still see harsh, top-down policies with little room for feedback. But today, the tone has softened, and that's partly due to a more vocal electorate and the presence of a stronger opposition keeping them in check. Change has been happening, just in a more measured way, maybe because promises from the incumbent are scrutinised far more than from anyone else.

As Tianmo has pointed out, a sudden change of government could lead to unexpected shocks. Change for its own sake isn’t necessarily better.. we need thoughtful evolution, not disruption just to prove a point. We have neighbouring countries that always seek change.. coalition of sorts, with many parties coming with all sorts of promises to be popular but does that benefit the country?

I will also not forget what SM Lee once said about spending time to fix the opposition. That combative tone has faded under the 4G team. Whether Lawrence Wong will stay true to his words to work with the opposition remains to be seen.. but if we’re willing to give the opposition time to learn, shouldn’t we also give a new leader from the incumbent the same benefit of the doubt? He has just taken on a major role for our country and he is a fellow singaporean too, should he answer to all the wrong ways of the old guard e.g. peanuts, sex in small spaces, how much do you want? Do you want three meals in a hawker centre, food court or restaurant? fix the opposition? 

In fact, LW has the guts to do what SM Lee didn’t, by retiring many old guards and bringing in new faces. He could’ve played it safe, but he didn’t. That’s not nothing.

Let’s hope these moves steer Singapore in the right direction.

I respect his guts to take the plunge now. His way of waging the opponent may work for the incumbent, it may also work the opposite result... But this approach style is for  the betterment for all of SG. 

Hope he can say may the 4th be with you.. after all the votes counting.

Koyok selling pitch...pxp style...reminds me of ss tagline...all for u...😁

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...and your vote too...😂

[Lala81]

Why everyone bashing NCM ar? 

I mean if he steps up to Jalan kayu then he can't be seen as a free rider?

After all it's a single vote yes or no. And JK is just beside sengkang.

It would be humiliating to lose a 2nd time round and his political career is pretty much gone if that's the case. 

OYK also lost in 2011 and later went to safe haven Sembawang.

Bashing is ok if he can still win. In this world, no matter who, there are sure have people who like or don't like you one even you are the best person in the world. Lol.
