This guy gives off highly unpleasant vibes
Agree. He really feel "scumy".
think we need to elect some real voices, then listen to meaningless punditry
kinda unpleasant but note that he runs companies and to me - comes off intensely, just as someone who has high expectations and communicates as such
I agreeâŠ. For some reason I donât know⊠just a vibe I guess
Take away the vibe, he's not wrong.
Master angkat bola and political gaslighter Calvin Cheng commenting = skip to next video.

To be less materialize, can we have shorter working hours so we can include more experiences with the extra hours we have.. reduce compulsory 40 hours to 30 hours.. 5 hours per day
got compulsory meh? you are free to look for a job that aligns with your schedule. work hours is not mandated
You can already find jobs with flexible or less working hours. (Also, you shouldn't be suggesting government mandates for things that are already optional. Personal choice should triumph mandates)
@@axolet we already have manpower policies, you suggesting we should get rid of all of it?
M-ship REMOVE THIS POST. that individual does not have any say in government (and governance) he "N"-mp not a member of any political group. please don't post such individuals. shame on m-ship.
First time hearing him talk makes one sick. Prior, only read his comments and that already makes any Singaporean boil.
Yeah, he always makes a lot of controversial comments on his FB account.
I came for the comments and I was'nt disappointed.
Why interview Calvin Cheng? Post materialist? GST from 7 per cent to 8 per cent on Jan 1, 2023, and to 9 per cent on Jan 1, 2024 - are meant to close the gap between revenue and expenditure until 2030.
Why not? He is a certified PAP influencer. Just like George Yeo and Kishore are CCP influencer.
@@ivanteo1973 It's a rhetorical question to poke Mothership which has become quite a PLP (pathetic lightning pleaser) in recent years even though it didn't start off that way. Btw, George Yeo who founded Mothership, is also a CCP influencer.
@@ivanteo1973 Except that he has neither received a popular mandate from people through elections, nor has significant political contribution or ideas. He was JUST an ex-NMP that frankly we would be better off without. I'd be happy to hear from many other people besides him.
@@RedDotRants that was what i said, George Yeo is a CCP influencer, boot licking CCP like no tomorrow. disguisting.
post materialist usually means trending towards socialism, which usually means higher tax
"red dot rants" lol
maybe you should go back to school before doing political commentary đ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Tell that to landlords? Who is the main landlord?
My 2 cents. Based on global data, most economies aren't going to do well. So, the easier way is to divert our attention on the other aspects of life apart from material wealth like in our earlier generations. But the question is, does the original 5Cs matter now? Who even gives a hoot if you live in a condo, or have a credit card etc?
oh look at him in his red Hugo Boss shirt discussing PM Wong's "postmaterialist" visions... Of course his response is expected...
Anyone knows how to pronounce Tony Leung in Mandarin? Isit lan jiao wei?
Post Materialistic? All the MP come stay HDB lah!
Knn.. I waiting for Swiss standard of living for 20 years. Now how? Ukraine standard of living? đ
Wtf mothership very disappointing whose this nobody
I dun understand why mothership interview this guy ?!
This guy is the embodiment of "You will have nothing, and you will be happy"
How can he say that materialism is the cause of a failing economy when materialism literally exsists throughout history? It's what drives people to work harder and keeps the economy moving. There are so many things that this guy gets wrong. "The first generation of singapore were relaxing". Uh no, the first generation of modern Singapore are immigrants that are seeking for a better life. Many came with nothing, taking one of the biggest and most dangerous risks of their lives in unknown and undeveloped terrirtory. Only to see the fruits of their hard labour through their grand children.
So no, I will not give up working hard, having children, saving up for a home just as my previous generations did just because this guy tells me it's "going too far". Owning a home isn't "going too far".
you are like a pavlov dog repeating the same talking points
why does working hard means working like a slave?
why can't it mean learning new skills in their own time, learning multiple languages, skills that they love?
the traditionalists really believe that a person working 16 hours at some bullshit office job is better than someone who works 8 hours but knows 4 languages, and had the time to take up the latest AI technologies
it is like when you were born, you only knew how to be a slave to someone's else enterprise
interview him? NEXT
Still trying so hard to crawl back to parliament and collect MP cheques. Lots of hot air.
does this jack4ss pay you to post his videos?
This is why Mothership is not news.
Why does he look so sleepy?
looks like ptosis
Who is this guy?
Mothership just take any insurance agent guy to talk about singapore Prime Ministership.
In Singapore they always reward and encourage people who pursuit extrinsic goals and punish those who pursue intrinsic ones..
It's always about wealth success, status of oneself of one's family but never about success that brings about good to the nation as a whole or even mankind lol.
Rags to richess hardly happens why should we fear rags riches to rags? It just means the person was dependent on generational wealth and wasn't competent and deserving in the first place.
We can encourage and reward intrinsic acheivements so that more can aim towards a more purposeful lives and existence.. instead of just survival and material success.
Why Calvin keeps praying in this interview huh?
Lol, it is just a body language praying people to listen to him.
I am not so sure that was what PM Lee mentioned in his speech. I think most people would still aspire to enjoy material success
"most old people"
Post materialist sounds like the Matrix AI words.. Lets just take a socialist approach to the rich and a meritoracy to the lower and middle class
Tax the rich and give to the poor. đ
The rich already pay almost all the taxes. What matters is how they became rich. Corrupt foreign officials becoming new citizens tax them to kingdon come... but is not the same as someone who worked and produced products and services for decades. If you tax them it's criminal considering the risk and effort they put into the economy.
Who diz ah Peng ?
Need him to become MP
Knn. This guy super kong jiao wei đ
Gong jiao wei
I am worried the term "younger generation". Would the next governing team from the cabinet members to even the prime minister will mainly from the "younger generations?. Is it currently we have now the younger generation as the centre core of the heart beat of Singapore?. The younger generation are fighters and have high expectation of their abilities, following much on their heart beat. But the past generations have make it through all these years on hard work not just the energy from themselves and also the feel of the heart beat from the ground. Yes, we are now in a new era of advancements and higher technologies but the basic and fundamental principles of strong foundations in building this country cannot be dismiss as not necessary. However changes in our exteriors, the interiors must remains the same. Without the heart in good condition, the other parts of the body will not function well. Therefore, be cautioned not to make policies, implementation and execute it without consideration a heart for those in the weaker sectors of our populations. Being practical is good but lack of compassion is of impact towards a peaceful society. Singapore must maintain peace within first and then to spread peace with the world.
Post-materialist is a bit too simplistic to describe us. Less ambitious would be a better description, along with the footnote that we are just making do with what we have in the current economic situation.
No need to work to be NUMBER ONE...just work to SUSTAIN an Economy for the well being of All Singaporeans...
ESPECIALLY the Elderly...make more PROVISIONS for their Final Years on Earth as they Were The Ones who Did Most for the Well Being of The Young Then...
Stop the Bull of CARE & SHARE...
Just Do It like Nike
holy cow Calvin! you look so different now ! healthy !
Why interview him? He was JUST an ex-NMP that neither had the mandate from people through an election, nor was his record unblemished. He should vanish from our political consciousness entirely.
Although I don't like this guy, he's just summarising some key takeaways from the speech, where there's nothing wrong with it. Bash the ideas and actions, not the person
Why are we listening to him?đ
yes, no rat race!!!!
đ
Then singapore will lose forever
Yea itâs not actually gonna be delivered , just words coz itâs on the top of our minds now
@@limlisa People who are not disadvantaged by inequality have no issues with the rat race and can even afford to relax. Itâs people who are disadvantaged by it who see that working hard is futile. They donât care if the boat sinks.
@@limlisa Itâs not worth progressing either if some things doesnât change that will affect peopleâs lives. The annual leave and sick leave system worked in the past but itâs pretty much been a bullshit system especially in a âfast pacedâ environment, you want more out of workers but expect less downtime from them and donât even get started on our countryâs union, the best theyâve done is on work discrimination. Lots of workers from the western side are moving back because of the outdated working system, weâre basically just heading towards a work culture like in japan and itâs already quite close.
You get alot of workers who are at work everyday but barely do any work vs people who are at work having to pick up slack of others resulting to some form of burnout but guess who getâs the promotion? Couple that with the rising cost of living and housing and it just makes the situation worse, and itâs not a problem only this country is having. My point is that upcoming generations whether others like it or not are realising that being about it a 100% at work doesnât reward you like how it used to be anymore, so people are ditching the rat race even if it means our countryâs economy declines
of all people , you choose to interview a guy who is completely irrelevant
Does this mean we are getting Universal Basic Income?
Good insightful point made, surprised at the backlash in the comments section
Yes, he did make some good points. It is not unusual that there are backlash comments as he is unpopular with some people. It is very hard for these people to make comments without prejudice.
No more Gucci and Prada store on Orchard then nothing left in Singapore. Western luxury brand keeping SG afloat and entertained
To be replaced by massive libraries.
@@windydragon6522 that would be utopia
hope one day singapore can sustain itself as the knowledge capital of the world, rather relying on some disgusting segregation of the world's rich and poor, and the capital it generates
Knn, why all of them talk with the same hand gestures sia. who the f told them that will look more sincere? fake af
I want work work work, but less tax tax tax....ok
Why doesn't his hand gesture match the tone of the topic? Is he just doing some Naruto hand jutsu thing trying to hypnotize or captivate the audience?
Wait.. it was enough to keep me talking about it, hmm... well then...
people pull down pant, he will use his mouth to zip it
Very well put đ« Even spiritually, material wealth and the lower three chakras are very much a part of this lifetime. Not going overboard but not forgetting they exist too.
Talk cock leh,
As long as pap allows ppl to speculate in property.. rent will go up.. food price will also go up.. stop telling ppl don't need to earn big money.. instead should educate the people that are renting
Errrr ⊠I am hard of hearing ⊠donât give 2 hoots on this đ€Ąđ€ when he comes out.
who dis?
you will own nothing and be happy.
Too early to comment anything ..lets see after 1 year later
My MP
Wong guy!
post-materialism? they don't know why younger gens are not looking at materialism. It is because we cannot achieve it, and the environment does not allow us to achieve it. Now they are trying to glorify this fact. Lmfao.
Post-m? Ok.....
From a guy who wears Hugo, wears an Apple Watch and so on. Thanks ah. Thatâs why oppositions CMI.
Former lol
Hahha calvin cheng
More ppl need to wake up from the rat race and celebrate individuality...
Then Singapore will be a more livable place..
If not even if you have a house also not happy...
houses will always be affordable, the salary ratio have not changed in decades
đđđ
Yâall had no one else to interview? This guy is notoriously biased with his takes and has made lots of sweeping statements in the past. You guys couldnât find someone else who was more impartial and educated on politics for this?
Day 2 of fantasizing about PM Wong's wife
This person always showing arrogant vibes, luckily he is not someone very important, or else Singapore is GG
look at this failure speaks hahahaha
Somehow I donât trust anyone with that face
Why we need to listen to this Xi Gay Low ???
Yes. We intend to share with all foreigners the fruits of YOUR success.
Communism
Post material can mean a number of stuff, but pls don't pursue woke.
Just don't pursue socialism! Look how terrible it's been for the UK where i'm from. It's also noted in LKY's books, don't forget that
Agree
So says someone who benefited from free meds and edu from the system. Hypocrites much?
@@whowhatwheresg I haven't benefitted from any free meds, I kept myself healthy. I didn't have free education, I got myself in over ÂŁ25k debt of student loan which i've now paid off. The UK has declined so much since the inception of the welfare state and pursuing socialism post World War Two and it will continue to be on the decline, it is very unproductive, very bad for businesses, for the economy, the only winners are the slobs sat at home on the dole reaping the rewards. Socialism is a slippery slope, once you start, you cannot reverse it, it only leads to more socialism, a bigger state, less productivity and more taxation. One of the reasons for Singapores great success is their avoidance of socialism and socialist policies
easier said than done. i want to start my porn film-making company in Singapore can? you can't even do porn behind a pay wall on onlyfans in Singapore legally đ
Who the F*#@ is this guy?
