Lee Hsien Loong's National Day Rally speeches have become one of those things that very few people are bothered to pay attention to or take notice of.
After so many years of speeches and unkept promises, his words now rings hollow, although he may have projected a slimmer of hope to some sector's of society. The glaring fact is that many of the important policies that are detrimental to the well-being of Singaporeans and the future of our children are still intact, unhinged and very much active and strongly suuported and promoted by many of the PAP Ministers and PAP MPs.
Take for example the case of selecting and grooming the next PM. It goes round and round in circles and is back to square one, going nowhere. It has been an exercise in futility. He does not even give any indication that he is seriously
serious about having the best and most well qualified person to hold the next PM post. His selection of key and important people to serve our country is highly inefficient and ineffective.
Looks like he is taking a great gamble with the next PM post. In effect, it looks like he is not fully in control of Singapore. Someone or a small clique of people must be telling and influencing him what to and what not to do. I strongly suspect that somebody is working very hard in the shadow to undermine the PM's decision-making abilities and therefore the well-being of the people.
Look at the people whom he has groomed to replace Heng Swee Keat to take over the PM post. None of the three forerunners have good leadership qualities. None of them can inspire confidence and fellowship. None of them have any vision for Singapore going forward. In fact, sad to say. all of them have some serious defects in one way or another.
The most glaring among all is the handling of the COVID-19 Pandemic. From the very beginning, it started on a wrong footing, a wrong assumption instead of scientific facts, that wearing mask is not necessarily beneficial for those who are not sick, not infected yet. Only wear a mask when you are sick, meaning when you have already been infected. What type of preventive measure is that!?
Next is the politics of Vaccines. Until now he and his funny millionaire Ministers refused to use any vaccines produced by other countries, especially the traditional vaccines of China. There is totally no good reason not to include such good vaccines into the National Vaccination Program. Why only use the two Whitemen produced mRNA vaccines instead of traditional vaccines? Why the discrepancy without good justifications? The crap about China not providing sufficient data is merely a very lame excuse. Why the Experts Committee never bother to do something on their own to test the Sinovac vaccines that have been lying there in cold storage for months? Why so lazy, lack of initiative and circular?
Singaporeans deserve better than all the divide-and-rule divisive discrepancies and discrimination that are now being rolled out relentlessly day in and day out to bring down the Unvaccinated Old Folks! The rapid number of deaths of the old folks, the loyal voters of the PAP, is very unsettling, unhealthy, unhelpful and unconscionable. How can a good, compassionate, kind-hearted, morally and ethically unblemished Prime Minister allow this to happen?
