The thing about Rally

So what is a rally? A speech? A demonstration?

PM Lee did his rally on live TV on 20 August and highlighted some issues..

The Economy
How we are to sustain growth and create jobs

The Region
The challenges facing ASEAN, the troubles facing various countries, the opportunities of growth with India and China, the enhanced relationship and ties with Indonesia

Singapore's Population
Getting talent, local and aboard

Digital Age
Management of risk, Mr Brown, Ba Chow Mee, Mee Siam Mai Hum, Government in MySpace

Singapore Heartware
Creating commitment, keeping in touch with overseas Singaporeans, looking after NE programs in school


And he concluded by basically saying that the outlook is bright and the world difficult, but not impossible to manage


Klayhead thinks:

The Economy
The economy will continue to growth, and good outlook is indeed ahead, we are starting to see promotion in jobs, increase in pay, more job openings.. the worry is the downslide, but the upcoming IR(s) should pump the economy up once again once things begin to slide



The Region
This affects the economy, a terrorist act, a visit to a shrine, policitian showdowns, corruption, natural disasters. Things that can be controlled should be controlled, so lets hope people start to wake up their bloody idea and to quote PM "get their act together"

Singapore's Population
Getting talent, local and aboard
Talent, aboard, thats the topic that is striking hearts now. While i can be comfortable working with some of foreign descent, the question remains that what is the commitment of the foreigner in Singapore?

**Shall post more on this to highlight the issue on another day


Digital Age
The mainstream media has been a great disappointment to those on the blog world. The newspapers such as Today has lost its respect after the suspension of Mr Brown's Column, mainstream channels like Straits Times and Channel News Asia appear extremely bias during Election Period, news reports are lopsided.. news cast shows closed up shots of Worker's Party's Rally, ignoring the crowd of tens of thousands of common folks..


The new postcast by Mr Brown on PM Lee's rally in which is said "Mai Hum" has drawn controversies..
**Again, shall post on another day


Singapore Heartware
Why create something that never was missing? The young adults on today are the same bunch which belted out "Count on Me Singapore", "One People, One Nation, One Singapore" wholeheartly and with gusto..

So its not that we never had that feeling.. just that the feeling is weaker now.. so how to address that problem leh? That's a problem that ordinary folks like me is not paid to answer




Not paid to think
