How did we become so full of entitlement?

Check ourselves before it's too late. Have we become so full of entitlement that gratitude becomes alien to us?

So now, some people think it is their right to choose a colour to their liking?

Hey, these are free masks, given from the generosity of Temasek and their efforts to combat COVID-19.

Begin by appreciating that these masks are of good quality and comfortable. Be thankful.

How did we become so full of entitlement?

Jamus Lim, 不要落井下石 !

So the great economist from Workers' Party came to Parliament to propose an environmental tax on SIA, even suggesting that SIA could pass on the cost to passengers.

Is he for real? Is he really an economist?

At a time when SIA is trying to stay afloat, and retrenching thousands of staff to cut costs, he wants to add to its operating costs.

Transport Minister Ong Ye Kung told him there are no passengers to pass the cost to now.

Virtual signalling to show off how moral you are will not solve any problem.

Heng Swee Keat: Ministerial Statement - 5 Oct 20: Safeguarding a Strong Future for Singaporeans

COVID-19 is not our first crisis, and certainly will not be the last. Successive generations have been building up strong reserves ahead of this crisis, and our past reserves have been critical in our fight against COVID-19.

As we dedicate spending to support our people and businesses through this difficult period, we must be careful not to squander what generations before us have painstakingly built up. We will continue to invest decisively on our national priorities, with a deep commitment to leave behind a better future for our children.

We start this new term of government from a challenging fiscal position.

- For this financial year, we expect operating revenues to be 16% lower than initial estimates presented at the Unity Budget in Feb 2020.

- Revenue collections are expected to fall across all categories of revenue.

- Expenditures, on the other hand, will rise.

This challenging fiscal position is a result of a global pandemic that no one could have predicted.

What is within our control is how we use our fiscal resources well to respond to this crisis, and to prepare for the future.

- Excerpt from DPM Heng Swee Keat's statement on 5 Oct

Prudence, not austerity

We have dedicated close to $100 billion to support our people and businesses through this difficult period.

As we do so, we must be careful not to spend in a way that squanders what generations before us have painstakingly built up.

Our guiding principle is prudence, not austerity.

We will continue to invest decisively in our national priorities, with a deep commitment to leave behind a better future for our children.

Lee Kuan Yew on his grandchildren

Like most grandfather, Mr Lee Kuan Yew loved all his grandchildren. He had 6 of them.

In an interview with Sinchew in 2011, he described them all as his favourites. But the favourite among favourites was his first grandson, Li Yipeng whom he described as polite, well-spoken and well-mannered.

Yipeng was slower in his studies due to his very poor eyesight and he need binoculars to help him see the words on the blackboard, but he did not give up and slowly caught up and graduated with very good results from NUS.

In bad taste and uncalled for. Lee Suet Fern on Lee Kuan Yew and first grandson

In bad taste and totally uncalled for. A very bad reflection on the person of Suet Fern.

Many grandparents will gush at the birth of their grandchildren, whether first male grandson or not.

Lim Suet Fern may want to go on a PR campaign to promote herself. That's really fine but it is appalling for her to take a swipe at Li Yipeng in her eagerness to promote herself and her family.

Obviously the grandparents are not around to defend their first grandson whom they loved and who is very close to them.

What a shame.

Will Pritam Singh keep his promise to review Raeesah Khan's social media posts?

 

When the PAP makes a promise, they are held by voters to the promise they make.

What about the opposition? When they make a promise, are they held to their promise?

Is the Leader of the Opposition,

Pritam Singh

going to keep his promise to conduct a review of Raeesah Khan's post? Or is he hoping that by keeping quiet and by hiding comments, supporters will forget that he had made a promise?

Promises made during an election are meant to be kept after the election.
