Singapore Opposition, read this

Today's Straits Times reports that the PM asked the three opposition groupings the below questions. All very serious issues which he felt the opposition was evading.

1. How will you keep this economy strong and competitive?
2. How will you keep this country safe from terrorists?
3. How will you manage difficult relations with our nearest neighbours and work for win-win cooperative relations?

Well the easy answer and my gift to the opposition is: keep the same experts/consultants Singapore currently has and hire more if needed. I don't think the Ministers do everything all by themselves, surely they must have expert helpers on all these issues. Although I wouldn't call the Singapore-Malaysia relations anything remotely cooperative.

Anyway, back to this little article in the Straits Times, the opposition parties are most probably not even touching these serious issues because they know they haven't got a sniff at getting elected into government. Better stick to the local/regional issues such as lift upgrading and the like.
