[quote]What should Singapore’s future look like?

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong offered his answer in the National Day message which was aired at 6.45pm on Wednesday evening.

He named three things in particular: the country must offer hope for the future, it must have an inclusive society and it must be a home that everyone loves.

To help achieve that vision, he announced that a new ministerial committee would be set up to conduct a broad-based review of policies. It will be chaired by Education Minister Heng Swee Keat and will include a number of younger ministers.[/quote]Hope for future: Invest more in our children's development
Inclusive society: Increase CPF contributions for PRs
Home that everyone loves: Less crowded and less condo launches
:celebrate:

I did nothing, just click, cut and paste.

am just glad that some of u do take the time to read or view Dr Richard Teo's speech. He was very honest in what we all know deep inside - the society has redefine priorities incorrectly..... morally. RIP Dr RT. He is in a better place now :imanangel:

I would not want my children to be chasing after the wrong ideals as well. Life is short, live it well. :celebrate:

sometimes its hard to be gracious when someone just scolds u in ur face for something that is none of ur biz…

Powerful lessons I learnt from the above video :

(1) don't lose our moral compass

(2) quoting Richard's words:
\"When I face death, when I had to, I stripped myself of all stuff totally
and I focused on what is essential. The irony is that a lot of times, only
when we learn how to die, then we learn how to live.\"


:thankyou: Strparent for sharing ! 😄

Well, I think the comments against Amy were a bit overdone, but she was completely over the top. Witty and incisive, but in a completely wrong way. She is a scapegoat, yes, wrist slapped, time to close the matter, or this will drag on to the next century.

Agreed with 3Boys here.

anyway, all of us should not be too judgmental, it's not that she was attacking someone racially directly ( what I didnt like was her elitist comment about if you cant afford a proper wedding, dont get married -period ). I have been to several void deck weddings myself and enjoyed the carefree casual yet beautiful atmosphere ( heck, when I was a kid, my cousin also had his wedding at the void deck, due to budgetry reasons of course )

in case anyone is in denial - see this clip below

i think i saw this video some time ago... or something similar...

but anyway, thks for sharing... we shall not comment on the \"not-worth-mentioning\" issues anyone...

everyone has the right to rant, at whoever they want, provided it does not go public or tongues will definitely wag… somemore her high position…

but this time round different… i dun want to repeat that same phrase in that hwz post again… but it sounds really intentional… so anybody who continues the topic is bound to expect lots and lots of comments regarding racism, which is not encouraged here…

Chenonceau:

Do we have to discuss this? What will we achieve by fanning a small ember into a spark... this ember should be ignored. I am Chinese and I refuse to be provoked by words from HWZ because this is KSP.
The only reason for putting this, is only to compare against Amy's case.

I feel Amy comments were taken out of context too.. and we should also IGNORE it. But, that was not the case. Many criticisms against her, even on KSP. Why the UNFAIR TREATMENT?

I do NOT want to talk about the content of the FB post.

I only want to talk about the reaction towards the person who wrote the posts/comments. I wrote what I wrote only to show that both comments are just as OFFENSIVE.

My stand is.. we should IGNORE Amy's comment too. It is just her personal rant.. but pple make it into a big hoo-ha and even the ministers comment on it. I feel it does not deserve the attention it gets.

IMO, The blogger is even more guilty than Amy.

Well.. \"all animals are equal.. some more equal than the others\".. I rest my case.
