I think mothership Singapore deserves a shoutout. From what I have seen throughout this election period, they have been fairy neutral. They portray apples as apples, what you see is what you get. I believe we all deserve to see things from a neutral and fair perspective. That should be a basic right to all citizens. Only then, we can make an informed decision over important things.
Mothership used to spread racial hate and chinese elitism until they started getting famous with the whole of singapore and good brand sponserships then they started watching their words when realising it could be a real business. The people behind it still only want chinese people to thrive not malays and indians. Dont blindly support. I used to see all their posts it was so hateful towards us.
Jamus Lim is the pro definitely. He was given only 1-and-a-half mins but he made full use of it and succeeded in making an impact, not forgetting winning the hearts of many Singaporeans along the process.
Jamus is the Future in Politicians. He’s confident, articulate, intelligent, collected, cares for Singapore, and most importantly, humble. I hope he wins this election cos he’s someone other politicians can learn from.
Voice out to all Seng Kang GRC voters, Seng Kang GRC people is so lucky to have Doctor Jamus Lim as candidate of WP, the only one vote in your hand is very important, vote for WP & bring Jamus Lim into parliament, he is a brilliant guy.
Brilliant candidates like Jamus Lim don 't come along in every GE. Don't miss him, Sengkang voters, we are depending on you to vote him in to speak for you and me and all Singaporeans.

I met Jamus at the coffee shop this morning at Seng Kang.. has a good conversation with him. he is definitely what we need right now so are the other Indians and Malays candidates. There are good PAP and other opposition candidates . Dr Chee was also good but he needs to be calm but I think overall he is much better than his old self. So he should be given a chance .
If Jamus don’t get into the parliament. Singaporean , particularly those in Seng Kang has missed by a Long shot, absolutely not thinking. U want a sound guy to speak for you? Now you have it. We just don’t have a world class debate in our parliament. Sigh... don’t think any outstanding candidate will stand for opp party in future if Jamus don’t get in. We even have a lady who say our government is PaP. It shows our poor understanding of politics. A government is always formed by various candidates from different parties being elected to form a government. Government is NOT a party. Even for our present government. Sigh... how poor our understanding of politics. Singaporean really needs to be educated. Not just get A in exams.
@@jamoksgamok29 Good question. What can the new PAP candidates do too? No-one knows, until they are given the opportunity. So, will you give Dr Jamus the opportunity? He already proved himself to be an intellectual speaker, unlike the new PAP candidates and even brave and smart enough to go up and debate against a seasoned veteran minister. What more do you need as proof of his competency?
Not many people know that Jamus is a doctorate in Economics and a masters in politics. He also worked for the World Bank and recently worked for the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority.
Nick oppositons are all better than pap. they are sincered,creative,sharp and really want sg better. unlike pap 60 years all same words zero actions! wise ppl will know oppositons is doing the right thing and we should give full support!!
Brendan Koh vote for oppositions no matter who..let them speak up for us voiceless singaporeans!!! let pap start to wake up and do work then they will attend parliament sessions!! look at parliament now only few pap mp inside!!
Thank you mothership for bringing this snippet - stay fair and independent - showing how people in the street are thinking ............ group thinkers better pay heed Looking @ the matured responses and views of viewers, I believe we should have these debates monthly, on media after the elections - this will be healthy for Singapore
As we re sharing with my frds Jamus know what he is talking about. Very positive and humble he could be head hunt by LKY if he still around. All the bless God bless Jamus.
My take on the debate: Dr Vivian: Given the amassed time given, plus he is the incumbent minister and a well known debator, he SHOULD be articulate enough to rebut every comment he is going to get from the three opposition members. However, what I didnt like is how he shot down Dr Chee without giving him the opportunity to speak. He should at least listen, let Dr Chee finish his speech, and then rebut. He was quick to shoot down what DPM Heng said in the forum, quick to say that its fake news. I hope what he said doesnt come back to haunt him. Francis Yuen: He is taking the safe and diplomatic way. From what I see, PSP often does in the neutral way, like how WP often does theirs. Dr Chee: He is speaking from the ground. And his debates are not baseless. You can see whatever he said, he quotes every single thing from articles and videos that were taken from Minister speeches and interviews. To be labelled fake news and baseless were uncalled for. You can see Dr Chee has already toned down alot with age. All he wants, like most Singaporeans, are answers from the government, which we have yet to receive. Jamus Lim: Well, I am not surprised with Jamus, knowing his ability and his qualification. Besides, you can see he is very good in his words and I hope Sengkang voters will give him their mandate to represent them in the Parliament.
Vote wisely! Vote it based on the candidate's merits and not their background/party they are representing. Incredibly proud of Dr. Jamus Lim, definitely a role model we all should have , the sort of leader that we will want to represent us. This is what I call a true, sincere voice of the people. Rational, with foresight and incredibly humble.
There is hope for Singapore if more capable leaders like Jamus to bring back Singapore to former glory. It's important for Singapore to survive in next 50 years.
If Jamus Lim and the WP don’t get into parliament, we have only ourselves to blame. Malaysian are also laughing at us, we only know how to grumble but no actions taken. We know something is not right, so please take actions to correct it. I am so disappointed that I am not in Sengkang GRC, I feel Singapore is ready to create political storm at there kicking 2 ministers out.
How do you know they are laughing? If so, why bother? As if SG will die with sarcasm from other citizens. As long as SG is united, SG will remain strong.
Jamus & his age group are the future of Singapore. The present gomen dinasours are coming to an end. Outstanding opposition must be voted to check out the very expensive & self serving Dinasouurs. High salary & benefits to gomen Ministers is a problem loh & worst do know Ho Ching salary loh !
People voted opposition to be in parliament to challenge on blind spots to a policy. It is important to send someone who is calm, witty and able to articulate well not a bunch of clowns who has to read from mobiles even for a few seconds first post nomination speech. Don't waste our time voting till you have someone like Jamus to offer.
We certainly need calibre like jamus in parliament. He has a very thoughtful n passionate voice for our people. As an opposition to PAP, we ll see our country rise up by leap n bound to greater height n challenges. We love the sensible voice of Jamus.
If you ask me who I support in the OPs, my answer is Ms. Nicole Seah, Ms. Sylvia Lim, Dr Tambyah, Dr Chee S.J., Dr Tan C.B., Dr Jamus, Mr. Harminder Pal Singh, Mr. Brad Bowyer, Mr. Lim Tean, Mr. Pritam Singh, and Mr. Francis Yuen. :-)
Mathew Ho honestly speaking, the only ward I feel that they can easily win would be hougang. There is a good chance the WP would lose aljunied. Most Pap voters are too stubborn to change
Good feedback of Dr Jamus Lim. Keep up the good work Dr Lim! Do keep your head from swelling and focus on serving with the heart. That's what PAP have lost. I am with you and PSP.
Not only anyhow write cheque for Singapore.. ALSO... 1) Cannot ownself check 1self like China CPP 2) Cannot suka suka raise taxes 3) Cannot suka suka open legs to Foreigners. Refer to Brexit, CCP policy & AmericaFirst 4) Cannot let Temasek use Taxpayer's money like her own home piggybank
On July10 night, during results annoucement time, I can imagine there will be shouts of "Jamus Lim!". Hope all the online support will translate to votes.. counting on sengkang GRC residents and all other WP contested wards..
Just my guess but it could be the guy with the censored lanyard is a civil servant? Probably more important to censor a civil servant's than a NUS law student.
Been waiting for outstanding candidates to join the Opposition to justify not voting for the ruling party. If a party was able to attract superior candidates like Jamus to join it, it says alot abt the party. It's time to give the Hammer a vote, regardless of constituency, to forge a stronger voice in Parliament. All the best to Jamus and WP!
From 3:48, the guy was wrong to point out that he hope more people like Jamus join politics, even if they join PAP. Good people like Jamus if join PAP will be forced to be silenced and follow the usual way PAP runs the country and the estates. So people like Jamus who joined PAP will eventually be disillusioned and may even lose hope. Good people like Jamus should join oppositions or WP, so that they can voice out freely their concerns and ideas. Tan Cheng Bock is a good example who left PAP and created his own party.
Policies set by the govt are approved and executed after many debates in Parliament. And for the same policies set upon years ago, policies may be subject to adjustment to adapt to changing environment. Parties should just not do such debate with no basis of a constructive solutions. What we are looking for is not how proficient language you speak, or how eloquent you displayed under the spotlights ..... SOLUTION, SOLUTION, SOLUTION. That;s the key.
As far as I know, all the policies are done by Civil Servants from all Ministries. The Minister of the Ministry form a guide to the general directions for the policy. None done by the MPs. The MPs are to review, discuss and debate them in Parliament before voting to pass them through as law.
Jamus Lim is WP's 'star find', he is of ministerial material and it would be an asset for Singapore to have him in parliament. I'm not against any party, but his opponent Ng Chee Meng has had his time in parliament.
Vivian Balakrishnan was a former Singapore's National Junior Colleges Championship participant and yet he needs more than 4 minutes advantage over the opposition who was given less than 2 minutes. Shame on him!
It was 3 v 1 , he needs to get his point across to different oppositions. If he was given 1:30 min to answer the questions, he would never be able to summarize everything. Biased opinions
Dr Vivian, spoke well is not a merit because he should be as he is experience Minister over 19 years. But Jamus Lim, as a new candidate of WP in this GE, could spoke equivalent well as Dr Vivian with confident and performed so outstanding, he gained my big applaud on the debate.
I have no qualms with Jamus. But we have seen in last 10 years technocrats cannot relate to ppl on the ground. They were detach by their 'superior thinking and ideas'. Basically, they love their brains too much. In these disruptive times, instead of technocrates, we need leaders/lawmakers that have empathy and have the ability to acknowlegde and admit to their mistakes so can be agile to able to 'prata' wrong decision. We are now in the ages of accepting mistakes so we can quickly make corrective action to salvage or improve the situation.
Outperforms mr Xia SUAY by miles. Younger, more dynamic, more in touch and none of the fluff ( ... propensity to act like he knows all including production of cotton wool, and having zero commercial experience).
One of the interviewee mentioned that it will also be good that that the PAP has such a person like Jamus. I strongly disagree that such a person in the PAP side will be allowed to speak his mind like what Jamus is doing right now. It would be a waste of talent for 'Jamus' to be a PAP candidate. He will likely be groom to be a YES man.
Mothership SG, please ask Singaporeans their views, don't ask a foreign PMET for his view. One of the two guys looks like and speak like an Indian PMET.
I’m not sure how people measure or gauge the performance of the “popular”individual Lim from watching the debate... But for me, I can never trust an individual when he’s incapable of or unable to look straight into The Eye of his Opponent during several confrontations... consistently. There may be many reasons for that same way of response but none good comes to mind. But I totally agreed he’s definitely a Competitive speaker with a solid resume! I hope all good comes around and congrats all candidates at the table! An overall good performance to all candidates.... hope we can have more and fair airtime for all individuals so as to enable a fairer debate though.
Every election, I am stressed... Suddenly we have a group of people appearing that can impact my future. We already have a strong "opposition" and it will be worst. The opposition is outside Singapore. We need a very strong government to be able to handle our neighbors, big powers etc. The government has done a good job internationally and locally! You have been away in UK and US for at least 10-20 yrs? Do you know what Singaporean needs are? You have benefited as a Singaporean and now you are back to bring down the government? Thank you Silent Majority!
The best performer was Jamus. Vivian and Chee were on par as Vivian lost his cool during a debate. In addition , why did Vivian say that he read Jamus’ manifesto and “actually to be honest with you, we could have written it”. Vivian has the last 5 years in office and his cheap shot was that “we could have written it”? Well for the last 5 years, they failed to write it. Vivian’s statement honestly has helped to illustrate what Workers’ Party stated clearly that there is an need to deny PAP a blank cheque.
Jamus is the caliber of opposition candiate that has been sorely missing from any of the opposition camps. What his debate showed us is that he's an eloquent speaker that is capable of substantiating his arguments relatively well in a rational fashion. The key question is, how many Jamus Lim are there in the WP and opposition camps? A handful. NCMP Leon Perera, NCMP Daniel Goh (who is unfortunately not contesting due to health reasons) and perhaps, He Ting Ru (need more exposure). Anyway back to the debate and Jamus. He failed to answer the implied question on the WP in general posed by VB. Where is the merit in an opposition party that simply references the ruling party's stance and then add a more populist spin on the policies, I can do that too. Demonstrate that you have officers of an equal intellect with fresh, alternative and radical ideas for our considerations.
@Martin Lee All we can say about her given the amount of coverage she's received is that she's a relatively good speaker. I'm not sure she's in the same category as the handful listed above.
There will be a lot of Jamus Lim type of opposition if people like Jamus Lim with his heart and soul for the Singapore people are voted in to parliament, i did not see him fail in answer any question but proposed few policies and there are policies set by the ruling party using the ideal of the WP as what i had know. As a opposition in parliament they are suppose to add or try to omit policies which is not right or unfair for the people, ya you can only do that if you can be elected into parliament. WP had indicated their objective as a constructive opposition and WP already had intellect and able people with fresh alternative and radical ideal. You should consider it.
@@albertla3331 Hi Albert, I think thats what all of want, it'll be healthy for the overall system if more capable individual step up. Am not sure if I agree with the last section of your comment above. We have seen a lacklustre performance from the elected WP MPs in the last 10 years. As a resident of Aljunied, I have paid close attention to their parliamentary contributions. CSM has been grossly underwhelming after all the hype that surrounded him when he was unveiled as a candidate. PS and SL has been too embroiled in the mismanagement of AHTC and completely obsessed in politicking opportunities. Faisal Manap is just perpetually nitpicking on potentially racially discriminatory issues.. and lets face it LTK is a good politician, good speaker at the rallies but not really a policy maker. In contrast, its the 2 NCMPs who have stole the show in the WP camp for me. Well articulated arguments that are well-thought through.
Hello be fair to Dr Jamus Lim, for a greenhorn he debated extremely well against an old bird who probably got all the questions beforehand. Jamus only has 1.5 mins against VB 4.5 mins..
I can also cherry pick from those I interview on the streets and present views that are exact opposite to the views displayed in this video. What does this tell you? Again, hope you don't murder me for not praising you. I feel cheap to Everytime por lam pah like some coke suckers earning a living like that. Very geylang. But don't get me wrong. I also feel that Jamus outclassed all including that elderly man called balla . But it would not be fair not to say PSP Yuen has also proven very impressive more than the average singaporeans. Chee is of course helping to point out the flaws of PAP which some cannot take it even though he is helping many citizens to speak up and done nothing wrong but being painted as having committed very big crime
exactly, it all depends on the media, they can easily just find 50 interviews and only show like 3-4 people. Even when it comes to arguments people like to cherry pick.
Is the dude in the red shirt at 1:13 even Singaporean? His accent is clearly foreign sounding. Why am I not surprised with his high praises for Vivian?
Jamul is more impressive and witting, and I suspect he is more intelligent than Bala in terms of IQ and EQ hands down. If you doubt my assessment watch the debate again from the start and a few times more.
We can see benefits of bring good oppositions into parliaments. Healthy debates is good for Singapore. Whether PAP or oppositions, after all, we are all for the better development of Singapore.
Come on, I don't think Singaporeans give Dr Chee and the SDP enough credit. Their GST cut idea, the retrenchment benefits and the startup concept, their focus on the elderly and needy - those are ideas that Singapore needs more than ever! Dont write him off as "angry". He's passionate and articulate and he asks the difficult questions! We need that! As for the whole "class warfare" thing - of course there is class warfare! It's in every society. And yes - Dr Balakrishnan was right - the rich don't get to where they solely by their own hard work - we are all part of their wealth be it through employment or as consumers. Asking for a little help back from them isnt asking for much, is it? Tl;dr: I really dont get the hate towards Dr Chee and the SDP.
I think Jamus sounded really good in the debate. But I have to say the bias of so many Singaporeans against PAP is just incredible. If Jamus was in PAP, people would call him elitist, only care about the rich and all the other stuff they throw at pap candidates. Just shows the two faced nature of so many that just because he’s in a different party, people love him.
行动党让Taxi和Grab竞争，是说因为竞争可以提高服务水平，那我们也可以选反对党让PAP 竞争, 因为PAP说有竞争才会有进步，提高生产力与服务水平。 The Action Party lets us Taxi and Grab compete, saying that competition can improve the service level, so we can also choose the opposition party to let PAP compete, because PAP says that there will be competition to make progress, improve productivity and service level。
SK GRC: lucky to have such strong opposition in your ward. NCM - gonna be a tough fight. Jamus seems to speak better than anyone in that PAP team can offer.
My wish for this election is for all opposition parties to win and form the govt and let PAP be the opposition for a change. How is that for a real change?
Vivian looked angry when he talked down Chee making false accusations that Chee ever said to suspend gst indefinitely. He appeared more defensive and low EQ and afraid of Chee when he talk like this. Not as statesmanly as a diplomat should behave . Has this channel pointed out this ? Or too afraid? I never say balless. That's so not nice to say . Who sponsored this channel? Don't murder me for asking leh
To: Everyone Concerned, I have done everything right by the book and gotten through the proper channel. International Organisation of Immigration (IOM) has already prepared all the relevant necessary documentations, purchase my air-ticket and have also ensured/ secured a clear passage of way at the Athens Airport for my seamless repatriation to Singapore. But yet; when the time comes for the MFA to issue the DOI- Document Of Identification, you refused. Outrightly, rejected the IOM’s Proposal for my repatriation without giving any reason why. They were told to refer back to me but I am just as lost, dumbfounded and appalled as the IOM staffs. I would like to know the reason/s why was my repatriation being rejected and after 6 long tedious months of homelessness and starvation in Greece, what’s the Singapore’s MFA purpose behind it? How long more do you intend to keep me this way? I am a Singaporean and you outrightly refused my repatriation without any clarification nor explanation. I am seeking your clarity on this matter. As my life is hanging on a thread. If I have committed a crime, you should repatriate me to face the consequences but you did neither! Please enlighten me?!? You refused to repatriate me and you refused to revoke my Citizenship?!? I am stuck in a precarious situation here! I believe I have every right to know what is going on and your intentions behind these senseless actions. Looking forward for your appropriate response.

How do you know they are laughing? If so, why bother? As if SG will die with sarcasm from other citizens. As long as SG is united, SG will remain strong.
Decision is governed by imagined foreign reaction?
wtf?
can i just say that these interviewees spoke very well too!!! good job mothership. classy street interview!
Outstanding , World Class ! Vote for Workers Party...!👍
I'm more proud of the man and woman in the streets for their comments. Good job !
Jamus & his age group are the future of Singapore. The present gomen dinasours are coming to an end. Outstanding opposition must be voted to check out the very expensive & self serving Dinasouurs. High salary & benefits to gomen Ministers is a problem loh & worst do know Ho Ching salary loh !
HAHAHAHAH THAT LADY IS A MOOD!!!! SO PROUD OF THEM XD
People voted opposition to be in parliament to challenge on blind spots to a policy. It is important to send someone who is calm, witty and able to articulate well not a bunch of clowns who has to read from mobiles even for a few seconds first post nomination speech. Don't waste our time voting till you have someone like Jamus to offer.
We certainly need calibre like jamus in parliament. He has a very thoughtful n passionate voice for our people. As an opposition to PAP, we ll see our country rise up by leap n bound to greater height n challenges. We love the sensible voice of Jamus.
If you ask me who I support in the OPs, my answer is Ms. Nicole Seah, Ms. Sylvia Lim, Dr Tambyah, Dr Chee S.J., Dr Tan C.B., Dr Jamus, Mr. Harminder Pal Singh, Mr. Brad Bowyer, Mr. Lim Tean, Mr. Pritam Singh, and Mr. Francis Yuen. :-)
I THINK WP IS GOING TO HAVE A BIG VICTORY ON 10TH JULY NIGHT RESULT! VOTE FOR THEM INTO PARLIAMENT!
Mathew Ho honestly speaking, the only ward I feel that they can easily win would be hougang. There is a good chance the WP would lose aljunied. Most Pap voters are too stubborn to change
@@elevatorfilmersg pray for the best!
@@elevatorfilmersg say sike now
Good feedback of Dr Jamus Lim. Keep up the good work Dr Lim! Do keep your head from swelling and focus on serving with the heart. That's what PAP have lost. I am with you and PSP.
Let Thor come in to parliment
Not only anyhow write cheque for Singapore.. ALSO...
1) Cannot ownself check 1self like China CPP
2) Cannot suka suka raise taxes
3) Cannot suka suka open legs to Foreigners. Refer to Brexit, CCP policy & AmericaFirst
4) Cannot let Temasek use Taxpayer's money like her own home piggybank
Singaporeans should not even be living in fear to speak their mind about the leaders they wish to choose
On July10 night, during results annoucement time, I can imagine there will be shouts of "Jamus Lim!". Hope all the online support will translate to votes.. counting on sengkang GRC residents and all other WP contested wards..
Why you censored the guy's lanyard but you didn't censor the NUS Law lanyard? lol
Just my guess but it could be the guy with the censored lanyard is a civil servant? Probably more important to censor a civil servant's than a NUS law student.
Impressed with Jamus lim! Hope to see this guy in parliament
Been waiting for outstanding candidates to join the Opposition to justify not voting for the ruling party. If a party was able to attract superior candidates like Jamus to join it, it says alot abt the party. It's time to give the Hammer a vote, regardless of constituency, to forge a stronger voice in Parliament. All the best to Jamus and WP!
From 3:48, the guy was wrong to point out that he hope more people like Jamus join politics, even if they join PAP. Good people like Jamus if join PAP will be forced to be silenced and follow the usual way PAP runs the country and the estates. So people like Jamus who joined PAP will eventually be disillusioned and may even lose hope. Good people like Jamus should join oppositions or WP, so that they can voice out freely their concerns and ideas. Tan Cheng Bock is a good example who left PAP and created his own party.
Policies set by the govt are approved and executed after many debates in Parliament. And for the same policies set upon years ago, policies may be subject to adjustment to adapt to changing environment. Parties should just not do such debate with no basis of a constructive solutions. What we are looking for is not how proficient language you speak, or how eloquent you displayed under the spotlights ..... SOLUTION, SOLUTION, SOLUTION. That;s the key.
As far as I know, all the policies are done by Civil Servants from all Ministries. The Minister of the Ministry form a guide to the general directions for the policy. None done by the MPs. The MPs are to review, discuss and debate them in Parliament before voting to pass them through as law.
Jamus Lim is WP's 'star find', he is of ministerial material and it would be an asset for Singapore to have him in parliament. I'm not against any party, but his opponent Ng Chee Meng has had his time in parliament.
Sengkang residents let’s make history! VOTE WP!!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Vivian Balakrishnan was a former Singapore's National Junior Colleges Championship participant and yet he needs more than 4 minutes advantage over the opposition who was given less than 2 minutes. Shame on him!
It was 3 v 1 , he needs to get his point across to different oppositions. If he was given 1:30 min to answer the questions, he would never be able to summarize everything.
Biased opinions
You anti pap just say la
Dr Vivian, spoke well is not a merit because he should be as he is experience Minister over 19 years.
But Jamus Lim, as a new candidate of WP in this GE, could spoke equivalent well as Dr Vivian with confident and performed so outstanding, he gained my big applaud on the debate.
even the interviewees were eloquent in articulating their opinions. great video!
I have no qualms with Jamus. But we have seen in last 10 years technocrats cannot relate to ppl on the ground. They were detach by their 'superior thinking and ideas'. Basically, they love their brains too much. In these disruptive times, instead of technocrates, we need leaders/lawmakers that have empathy and have the ability to acknowlegde and admit to their mistakes so can be agile to able to 'prata' wrong decision. We are now in the ages of accepting mistakes so we can quickly make corrective action to salvage or improve the situation.
Outperforms mr Xia SUAY by miles. Younger, more dynamic, more in touch and none of the fluff ( ... propensity to act like he knows all including production of cotton wool, and having zero commercial experience).
Jamus is outstanding!
One week later....
SENGKANGIANS, YOU GUYS DID IT! JAMUS AND HIS TEAM IS IN PARLIAMENT NOW!
Man of the Match
Yes!First World opposition!Yes,the incumbents should embrace them with open arms.First world calibre mah!😜✌️
One of the interviewee mentioned that it will also be good that that the PAP has such a person like Jamus. I strongly disagree that such a person in the PAP side will be allowed to speak his mind like what Jamus is doing right now. It would be a waste of talent for 'Jamus' to be a PAP candidate. He will likely be groom to be a YES man.
Mothership SG, please ask Singaporeans their views, don't ask a foreign PMET for his view. One of the two guys looks like and speak like an Indian PMET.
Don't forget that we have quite a number of naturalised Singaporean.
I’m not sure how people measure or gauge the performance of the “popular”individual Lim from watching the debate... But for me, I can never trust an individual when he’s incapable of or unable to look straight into The Eye of his Opponent during several confrontations... consistently. There may be many reasons for that same way of response but none good comes to mind. But I totally agreed he’s definitely a Competitive speaker with a solid resume! I hope all good comes around and congrats all candidates at the table! An overall good performance to all candidates.... hope we can have more and fair airtime for all individuals so as to enable a fairer debate though.
Every election, I am stressed... Suddenly we have a group of people appearing that can impact my future.
We already have a strong "opposition" and it will be worst.
The opposition is outside Singapore.
We need a very strong government to be able to handle our neighbors, big powers etc.
The government has done a good job internationally and locally!
You have been away in UK and US for at least 10-20 yrs?
Do you know what Singaporean needs are?
You have benefited as a Singaporean and now you are back to bring down the government?
Thank you
Silent Majority!
@4:01 If Jamus had joined PAP, his journey would have been even smoother ride, but do you think he would be able to speak his own mind?
The best performer was Jamus. Vivian and Chee were on par as Vivian lost his cool during a debate. In addition , why did Vivian say that he read Jamus’ manifesto and “actually to be honest with you, we could have written it”. Vivian has the last 5 years in office and his cheap shot was that “we could have written it”? Well for the last 5 years, they failed to write it. Vivian’s statement honestly has helped to illustrate what Workers’ Party stated clearly that there is an need to deny PAP a blank cheque.
Jamus is the caliber of opposition candiate that has been sorely missing from any of the opposition camps. What his debate showed us is that he's an eloquent speaker that is capable of substantiating his arguments relatively well in a rational fashion.
The key question is, how many Jamus Lim are there in the WP and opposition camps? A handful. NCMP Leon Perera, NCMP Daniel Goh (who is unfortunately not contesting due to health reasons) and perhaps, He Ting Ru (need more exposure).
Anyway back to the debate and Jamus. He failed to answer the implied question on the WP in general posed by VB. Where is the merit in an opposition party that simply references the ruling party's stance and then add a more populist spin on the policies, I can do that too. Demonstrate that you have officers of an equal intellect with fresh, alternative and radical ideas for our considerations.
@Martin Lee All we can say about her given the amount of coverage she's received is that she's a relatively good speaker. I'm not sure she's in the same category as the handful listed above.
There will be a lot of Jamus Lim type of opposition if people like Jamus Lim with his heart and soul for the Singapore people are voted in to parliament, i did not see him fail in answer any question but proposed few policies and there are policies set by the ruling party using the ideal of the WP as what i had know. As a opposition in parliament they are suppose to add or try to omit policies which is not right or unfair for the people, ya you can only do that if you can be elected into parliament. WP had indicated their objective as a constructive opposition and WP already had intellect and able people with fresh alternative and radical ideal. You should consider it.
Talk is cheap, can talk doesn't mean can do, look at the West.
@@albertla3331 Hi Albert, I think thats what all of want, it'll be healthy for the overall system if more capable individual step up.
Am not sure if I agree with the last section of your comment above. We have seen a lacklustre performance from the elected WP MPs in the last 10 years. As a resident of Aljunied, I have paid close attention to their parliamentary contributions.
CSM has been grossly underwhelming after all the hype that surrounded him when he was unveiled as a candidate. PS and SL has been too embroiled in the mismanagement of AHTC and completely obsessed in politicking opportunities. Faisal Manap is just perpetually nitpicking on potentially racially discriminatory issues.. and lets face it LTK is a good politician, good speaker at the rallies but not really a policy maker.
In contrast, its the 2 NCMPs who have stole the show in the WP camp for me. Well articulated arguments that are well-thought through.
Hello be fair to Dr Jamus Lim, for a greenhorn he debated extremely well against an old bird who probably got all the questions beforehand. Jamus only has 1.5 mins against VB 4.5 mins..
Jamus 👍
The interviewees' command of English is excellent. No singlish at all. Eeee.
It was nice at the end 😆 who's Wise Lee
Bhaskara Rao Chukkala aiyah, you don’t know meh, Wise Lee is actually Jamus Lim lah.
More importantly, this should be what we are expected to witness in parliament and not the staged ones in the past.
Shout out to 1:03 guy! Crushing on you
I can also cherry pick from those I interview on the streets and present views that are exact opposite to the views displayed in this video. What does this tell you? Again, hope you don't murder me for not praising you. I feel cheap to Everytime por lam pah like some coke suckers earning a living like that. Very geylang.
But don't get me wrong. I also feel that Jamus outclassed all including that elderly man called balla . But it would not be fair not to say PSP Yuen has also proven very impressive more than the average singaporeans. Chee is of course helping to point out the flaws of PAP which some cannot take it even though he is helping many citizens to speak up and done nothing wrong but being painted as having committed very big crime
exactly, it all depends on the media, they can easily just find 50 interviews and only show like 3-4 people. Even when it comes to arguments people like to cherry pick.
Yes...oppositions is good..
Is the dude in the red shirt at 1:13 even Singaporean? His accent is clearly foreign sounding. Why am I not surprised with his high praises for Vivian?
Seems like the offsprings of new citizens
Ceca
Mr Jamus , Good 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Jamul is more impressive and witting, and I suspect he is more intelligent than Bala in terms of IQ and EQ hands down. If you doubt my assessment watch the debate again from the start and a few times more.
Lim was impressive because he is fresh. Dr bala is seasoned so all expected him to be excellent anyway.
He is 100% PM material
We reserves our right to our personal opinions on every individual candidates, please respect our choice
0:22 savage
Jamus is the best ! Hokkien says "Tok gong" black horse !
Why they kept interviewing the same few individuals?
We can see benefits of bring good oppositions into parliaments. Healthy debates is good for Singapore. Whether PAP or oppositions, after all, we are all for the better development of Singapore.
Which party is wisely in?
Zouk out !!!
Workers Party(WP) - People's Voice Party(PV) - Progress Singapore Party(PSP) - Singapore Democratic Party(SDP) - National Solidarity PartyNSP) - Singapore People's Party(SPP).
Come on, I don't think Singaporeans give Dr Chee and the SDP enough credit. Their GST cut idea, the retrenchment benefits and the startup concept, their focus on the elderly and needy - those are ideas that Singapore needs more than ever! Dont write him off as "angry". He's passionate and articulate and he asks the difficult questions! We need that! As for the whole "class warfare" thing - of course there is class warfare! It's in every society. And yes - Dr Balakrishnan was right - the rich don't get to where they solely by their own hard work - we are all part of their wealth be it through employment or as consumers. Asking for a little help back from them isnt asking for much, is it?
Tl;dr: I really dont get the hate towards Dr Chee and the SDP.
Do you guys realise that the ones who supports PAP in this video were foreigners? At least they sounded like foreigners
1:13 totally not biased
why?
Babi CECA probably
I think Jamus sounded really good in the debate. But I have to say the bias of so many Singaporeans against PAP is just incredible. If Jamus was in PAP, people would call him elitist, only care about the rich and all the other stuff they throw at pap candidates. Just shows the two faced nature of so many that just because he’s in a different party, people love him.
行动党让Taxi和Grab竞争，是说因为竞争可以提高服务水平，那我们也可以选反对党让PAP 竞争, 因为PAP说有竞争才会有进步，提高生产力与服务水平。
The Action Party lets us Taxi and Grab compete, saying that competition can improve the service level, so we can also choose the opposition party to let PAP compete, because PAP says that there will be competition to make progress, improve productivity and service level。
赞👍。说得好。 公平与良性竞争才会带来进步。这就是民主。只有基层才懂日常生活的事。类似标题往往大家都会忽略的。
Who came here after Workers Party win Sengkang GRC?
Auntie u surprised me!!!! Hope u vote oppo in the end...
Lol the ending joke.
In the first place, the so call debate is not on even ground. Why ya???
Why must you be so cute when rubbing your hand haha
SK GRC: lucky to have such strong opposition in your ward. NCM - gonna be a tough fight. Jamus seems to speak better than anyone in that PAP team can offer.
Jamus WP & Brad PSP future politicians for singapore
My wish for this election is for all opposition parties to win and form the govt and let PAP be the opposition for a change. How is that for a real change?
Pap is shaking
Let it fall
Vivian looked angry when he talked down Chee making false accusations that Chee ever said to suspend gst indefinitely. He appeared more defensive and low EQ and afraid of Chee when he talk like this. Not as statesmanly as a diplomat should behave . Has this channel pointed out this ? Or too afraid? I never say balless. That's so not nice to say . Who sponsored this channel? Don't murder me for asking leh
JAMUS!!!
why vote Wisely? is he as good as Jamus?
Mothership should hit the streets of SENGKANG and not Jurong. Jamus Lim is not contesting in Jurong GRC or Yuhua SMC to be specific.
correct.
To: Everyone Concerned,
I have done everything right by the book and gotten through the proper channel.
International Organisation of Immigration (IOM) has already prepared all the relevant necessary documentations, purchase my air-ticket and have also ensured/ secured a clear passage of way at the Athens Airport for my seamless repatriation to Singapore. But yet; when the time comes for the MFA to issue the DOI- Document Of Identification, you refused. Outrightly, rejected the IOM’s Proposal for my repatriation without giving any reason why. They were told to refer back to me but I am just as lost, dumbfounded and appalled as the IOM staffs.
I would like to know the reason/s why was my repatriation being rejected and after 6 long tedious months of homelessness and starvation in Greece, what’s the Singapore’s MFA purpose behind it? How long more do you intend to keep me this way? I am a Singaporean and you outrightly refused my repatriation without any clarification nor explanation. I am seeking your clarity on this matter. As my life is hanging on a thread. If I have committed a crime, you should repatriate me to face the consequences but you did neither! Please enlighten me?!? You refused to repatriate me and you refused to revoke my Citizenship?!? I am stuck in a precarious situation here! I believe I have every right to know what is going on and your intentions behind these senseless actions.
Looking forward for your appropriate response.
Your Extremely Disgusted Singaporean,
Eric Ong.

How singaporean in jb to vote?
Now then you ask, too late! Even the border is open, you have to go for 14 days quarantine. Continue to stay there and enjoy your nasi lemak.
@@Dragon-gl1rw then when to ask!no sign of border opening not only for this issue for all other issue regarding singaporean staying.many and me too waiting to see our doctors there for our appointment.
@@Dragon-gl1rw
They can come back to vote, on SHN not quarantined. SHN voters can vote from 7-8pm, but need to inform relevant authority that they are leaving home to vote, and if transport is needed they will arrange for you.
Move over PAP.. it's time to step aside to let oppositions to have a say on our behalf. You're not helping us by having us overpaid you.
Talents dont need pap...they have a mind of their own....pap only have yes men
Know your candidates well. It is better to have a bird in hand rather than to catch two in the flock flying around.
They should groom Jamus
I fully concur as long as Jamus is not groomed by PaP.
Let the man groom himself
Read between the lines!!! Anyone there given any amount of time to speak could understand "PAP" Vivian's, with his short sharp euphemism on "just today, the Prime Minister's office issued...........". Dive deep on free speech for clarity!!!
