    It was refreshing to listen to Shanmugam talk outside of Parliament and in the news. Too often he sounds like the gahmen's hatchet man. This interview showed a different side to him, a more humble and forgiving side that is quite different from his usual combative and somewhat condescending image. I'm glad he doesn't hate Singaporeans for raising questions about Ridout.

    if Israel concedes everything, will never initiate attack, will Hamas still fire rockets from civilian grounds and pray that Israel defends itself and ends up accidentally hitting civilians in defense? (hint: this is a rhetorical question)

    About Majority vs Minority. The great man mentioned something pertaining to the interests of the majority vs minority. Fines affect the poor and is essentially perceivably negligible to the rich. So, will this issue be addressed since Majority are not the Rich? COE deters/prevents the non-rich from getting a car for their basic/family neccessities. But it has no deterrence on the real rich who are the minority. As you can see, i am not easy to debate with

    Indeed, the US has had such a huge and involved role but barely had a mention here. But he did say something about self interests, so similarly any discerning person should realise that he is at the end of the day, a politician looking out after Singapore's own interests. Once viewed in that light, everything he says - or rather did not say about the US - becomes clear

    My idea to make citizens hungry for prosperity is to up the cost of living😅. GST, COE, Carbon tax , water, electricity, property, just to name a few. But most importantly, we should delay cpf annuity draw down by another 10 to 20 years. Income tax can raise a few percentage and salary can slow down a bit. This way, they will remain hungry competing with foreigners who are enjoying the strong sg curency

    While I respect his views on this matter. It’s hard for me to Shake off the Notion that a Policeman had actually commited sucide due to allegations of workplace bullying, all happened while he’s in Charge of the Ministry Of Home Affairs. I wonder what was the outcome of the internal investigation? Workplace bullying seemed to be common in Singapore’s workplaces.

Luckily , Sporens don't feel Oppressed😅 Quote ks : "...You grow up without hope and you grow up on a diet hating Israel because you see Israel as the oppressor and Israel you feel is controlling every aspect of your life. So how long can that be bottled up?" End quote "Bhor Bhiang One leh"🤭🤭🤭🏳️🏳️🏳️

    Is the welfare of the Palestinians the responsibility of Israel. They elected HAMAS as their leading group and HAMAS is receiving millions of fundings for developing their country which they use to equip themselves instead. Do you have a option if you were Netanyahu??

    The 2nd element is already well explained by the minister which is the right wing Zionist party at the start. Sg govt is opposed to the illegal settlements in west bank as stated in the international law. The 2 state solution is the end goal similar to the china foreign minister view. We are always aware that Malaysia can become the next threat hence we are not stupid to let you guys come in sg unchecked.
