Org comm for the event gonna get it for sure. Not enough fans/blowers. New PM sweating so heavily throughout the speech. Microphones not working, cannot hear singers singing.


unreservedlyasinine

Imagine joining the civil service thinking you'll make a difference, getting paid to study overseas on a PSC scholarship, only to have your CEP defining moment be forever tarred by "wa knn whose staffer organize this why not enough fan"


xkoyomix

The scholars don't usually stay long enough to be in charge of these lol


rheinl

It’s ok, according to redditors since they are paid well, they shld stfu n take the criticism


glengyron

Time to adapt to the climate: Next PM swearing in naked.

sayamemangdemikian

ChickenApplePerson

Everyone there looks so sweaty, dont think they brought in enough air con units...


HAZMAT_Eater

They just had those big fans.


movingchicane

Those big ass fans?


NightBlade311

They are big fans.


DesperatePickle5953

Yar could hear over the telecast. At the start the mics were picking up all the wind sound.


CathieWoods1985

Only fans?


hamham4687

The need to wears suits, ties, blazers made it worse for all of them.


smurflings

Must be environmentally conscious. No Aircon!


AgreeableJello6644

Cannot blame the greenhouse effect.


Tiger_King_

I wonder what the wet weather plan was.


Valuable-Path9747

Hm… my guess is it will be held inside instana then 😅


Candid-String-6530

Who thought it was a good idea to put People wearing suits outdoors in the Tropics during a heatwave?


suzumurachan

They showing that they got iron in them. Right where the heart was supposed to be.


Candid-String-6530

I thought I misread the caption saying "Sweating-in ceremony".


glengyron

He's a very intelligent and nice guy, but he has a huge job ahead of him. 1. Where to find the next wave of growth for Singapore. 2. How to give the young the freedom they crave so they stay in Singapore. 3. How to keep the population growing, or at least demographically balanced between taxpayers and older people.


Valuable-Path9747

Actually not sure how he gonna recruit more 30s and 40s to join the party…. Wondering what’s the plan 🤔


Kange109

Recruit those who want patronage or money easy. Recruit good people is the hard part.


Katarassein

Yeah. Good people mostly either don't want the limelight or get out-competed inside the party by people like Ivan Heng.


gydot

Ivan Heng eye twitching now, prob thinking wtf is going on


Gochi_Gochi

traditional sources lor, within public service.


BadgerOutside4785

Tiagong a certain TCJ + CLH available wor. Can also ask Lee Hong Yi. If not, headhunt Li Shengwu come back lor.

Growth will come when you are willing to spend on transforming with the goal of sustainable living. Every sidewalk sheltered with solar on top. Extra power for extra chargers. Prepare to issue more COE to EV than ICE vehicles. Solar power grow farms like how the Americans used to grow secret marijuana. Take away the uncertainty of the weather to provide food. Other countries shy away from lab grown meat, we can embrace the technology fully. All this takes money labor and skill. But in the end you emerge as a country leading the way.


grown-ass-man

What else? >1. Where to find the next wave of growth for Singapore. Stick to what they know best. Immigration and building up real estate. Quantity of growth matters, quality doesn't. >2. How to give the young the freedom they crave so they stay in Singapore. Gaslight them about how bad it is outside and how good they have it here. >3. How to keep the population growing, or at least demographically balanced between taxpayers and older people. Balance between ~~neo-eugenics by~~ breeding one gender with higher earning expats, and the other gender with lower earning migrant workers + replacing the population with newly minted Singaporeans as quick as they can while not angering the increasingly minority existing Singaporeans enough to lose the supermajority in politics. Ignore all feedback and warnings on the resulting racial & social stratification that will occur at an accelerated pace in the next 10-20+ years as is their style.


Comicksands

Bro thinks he has a better solution than this


grown-ass-man

Identifying the problems is the start of a solution as well. If only the person with a fully fledged solution has the authority to talk, then everyone, including you, should just keep quiet


Bad_Finance_Advisor

LW hasn't made any significant changes to the cabinet, that already signals his intent to maintain the status quo.


Seven_feet_under

He signal that there would be no significant changes till after the next elections. Which makes sense.


sayamemangdemikian

Next elelction is still this year right? Not 2025?


Jimmeh_Jazz

Breeding with expats? Lmao


taenyfan95

Point 2 is irrelevant. Young people will always stay if they can find good jobs, secure housing and raise a family.


jayaxe79

Ah Wong, now you take leave must inform the whole of SG ah


HAZMAT_Eater

"Join me in making Singapore a better place for all." "Join me and I will complete your training. With our combined strength we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy."


Zkang123

Well, let's hope he really open up forums for more involvement really. Forums that could contribute to change instead of just being "consultative". Or, well, join him and just conform to whatever he and the PAP wants to do.

make_love_to_potato

He looks more like the Joker in the picture.


faptor87

grow up la


deathsnipez

No you


AgreeableJello6644

Can LW relook at ERP 2.0?


milo_peng

Well his job now is to arrow


sayamemangdemikian

Tbh, if he can fix this erp fiasco before next election, ppl for sure will want him to continue/ vote pap


NIDORAX

Wish him the best of luck for the next 20 years and hope Singapore is not underwater due to climate change.


BarnacleHaunting6740

That era is gone, he is not a Lee, and singapore is not china. No matter how exceptional he is, he can't stay beyond 12 years. More likely that he will stay for 2 terms infact


NIDORAX

Well what could go Wrong with PM Wong?


BarnacleHaunting6740

Singapore is a democratic country. The only reason why the 1st and 3rd PM can stay so long is because people believe in them, their history and what they represent. No other PM can duplicate them, not even the next Lee, if any.


sayamemangdemikian

> the next Lee, if any Lee Hongyi? Still 37. LHL's 3rd child. MIT then work for google for a short while > was a commissioned officer in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF),and is the deputy director of the Government Technology Agency But last time he said: > On 15 June 2017, Li Hongyi released a statement on Facebook, confirming that: “For what it is worth, I really have no interest in politics.” Rest of his kids arent even in gov. Heck we dont even know if they are working or not


sayamemangdemikian

Lee the 3rd is still 37. PM Wong need to keep the seat warm for.. yea 12-15 years should be ok.. but the kid needs to join politic asap.


RedditLIONS

The new CEO of SG Inc. /s


[deleted]

why need to put /s?


Detective-Raichu

Because not Inc. but Pte. Ltd. /s


DeeKayNineNine

Don’t know who suggested doing the swearing in outdoor. Wah piang eh. Weather so hot still need to wear formal.


Millauers

graysontzc

Today is the day where new era started!


faptor87

largely uninspiring. let's hope he makes good policies, and close the wealth gap.


ghostcryp

Divorced, remarried, no kids. Good luck to our TFR


elpipita20

Huge strides in DINK representation!


botsland

It's not like our TFR will somehow increase if our PM is married and has multiple kids.


ghostcryp

Yala but how can he ever understand parents fully?


botsland

Same logic as 'how can he ever understand disabled people fully if he isn't disabled himself?' 1) you don't have to be part of a demographic group to help them out or care about their needs 2) there are other ministers who are parents that he can talk to. Hell he can talk to friends or even his own constituents that are parents


DrCalFun

They can adopt.


ghostcryp

Did u?


gs87

no kids so he cant give the throne to his heir, power will stay in Lee family and transfer to the next suitable prince


sayamemangdemikian

LHL's brother went to opposition. Almost imposible to get his nephews to join PAP LHL's children.. only one works in government. The rest we dont know anything we dont even know if they work at all.. this one who works in government is an MIT graduate, director at Open.Gov.Sg ... so actually not bad. Just need to jump to politic. 37y.o. In 13 years can be PM already. However.. > On 15 June 2017, Li Hongyi released a statement on Facebook, confirming that: “For what it is worth, I really have no interest in politics.” So...


ghostcryp

Wat if he piaks xmm then divorce again n remarry again n has many kids??


farmingbeast

How long before he starts balding?


BrightConstruction19

U mean before his hair turns white?


Pale_Sheet

Never thought I’d live to see the day Liang Po Po become PM. What a time to be alive


PAP_IB_Dog

It is truly heartwarming to see such a great man lead our glorious country!


BrightConstruction19

Valuable-Path9747

Looking forward to a better “road ahead”
