As a millennial that do not care much about politics, I think this is a good way for me/millennials/GenZ to learn and know more about our minister in a candid way. As house visit/meet the people session/market visit usually target middle age/seniors, we young people seldom care much about politics and ministers.. so I think this video is really great to get us involved and capture our attention of the current affairs.. thumbs up for this ep👍🏻
Agreed
They know that too which is why they are targeting fringe media now
very soon singaporeans locals popualtion is minority,gov say forgieners good good but they cannot be ministers cause they compete with minister rice bowl.They only can compete with you locals who are like sotong,locals report to your forginers boss now,if not we replace you locals with our own countryman.
Solid episode. But what really struck me was how 'in' Min Chan was. Being of an entirely different age it must not come second nature for him to know the pain points of young content creators like TDK, but he still took the time to ask questions and understand. Guess that's what it takes to be a minister, kee chiu man!
He is surprisingly more affable and down to earth than I thought. I guess all these years he has been painted in a bad light due to the way he carries himself or the way he talks. Great episode 👏
Yeah, won't be surprised if it was politicking by others that tried to put him in a bad light
I know people who have worked with him for years, way before his bad reputation in the last election came.
He has always been like that, and is not doing this now for PR.
Yes it was the result of politicking by some people and even by certain media /press.
People always say he ah Beng, stupid. Just search for how he answers real questions with at international seminars, and at interviews with agencies like Bloomberg.
Those people always say the Govt is trying to brainwash us through press. But actually the reverse is true.
There is still a silent majority, not because they are stupid but because they bother to look beyond what is sensational and fashionable.
this might actually be it, the content that every singaporean has been waiting for. a somewhat unfiltered talk show with a minister. really amazing. really want to see minister shanmugam come onto here!
And he did =D
So simple, human and down-to-earth. Its a tough job to be a minister, but yet he still did it anyways.
Minister Chan is not pretentious and is very honest n is very straightforward n easy to talk to.
A very good man.
There was once I met Min Chan at a market... The way that he stood and chat with the store owners just showed how often he visits them.
Honestly, the best part for me was him talking in Singlish. Sounds very down to earth and relatable.
He talks with more expression here than other formal speeches
Love it when he emphasized that you won't always get what you want in life. Mastering and making the best of whatever opportunity is given to you, is a lost art. Especially in today's culture where pursuing what you "want" is deemed as a more noble thing.
I am working under Min Chan and trust me, he is really a very very good boss. Can’t say the same for everyone, but really for him… his is good
Out of all the ministers I was actually rooting for him to be PM. SINGAPORE needs to have someone who is tough. Ex COA, to lead in the next decade or 2. Unfortunately people decided to fault him for cotton wool issue
Great show. Minister CCS is a good sport and highly intelligent public servant. while he may not be eloquent but his heart for singapore is more important.
Great episode, minister Chan is a very down to earth man. I used to be from the public service and have heard many great things about him from my ex colleagues.
CCS is the champ. he is super patient when talking to you all.
I like Minister Chan Chun Sing because he is so down to earth.
He is actively creating very smart SG of the future because he encourages lifelong study
Thank God for such a great down to earth minister that is humble, approachable and very friendly. How blessed it is to be Singaporeans and all those who live in Singapore. May God bless Singapore continue to grow strong and be a good example and also a great blessing to many other countries.
Minister Chan is always very diligent, humble, sincere and authentic. He is able to explain the profound in simple terms. His heart is at the right place. He is a blessing to the nation indeed.
Dan smiling throughout like a fanboy
Yes he is a very down to earth person, raised by a single mom... i wont call it riches but he is a "rag to minister" kind of story.... really work hard and be recognised
One thing I’m proud about as a Singaporean is that our ministers and politicians like to engage with the public and they’re all very approachable.
I have never seen this side of min Chan before . Thanks for this episode to let us know more about him . I really like him now because I can judge by what I see now rather than hearing from negative news about people.
my fav episode of all time. Minister was very candid, and I think we need more ministers! good to see another side of them!
Didn’t expect a minister to be able to engage with the group here so causally since I always see them representing SG more formally. Love the rapport and conversation!
probably one of the best guests you've brought, an episode i can watch the whole of without feeling bored
Min Chan.. the most down to earth minister we have.. really humble and candid in his sharing.. thank you for the episode.. 😊
He is so down to earth .. and funny too.. thanks to the hosts.. is so causal in this kind of setting .. love it
Thanks YT for throwing this into my algorithm. In the past, I used to somewhat dislike him and laughed at his gaffes, but all it took was him saying "I'm artistically challenged" to get me weak🤣 CCS seemed so relaxed, candid and in his element here, interacting so colloquially. Dude seems like one of us
He's real! I hope that he can do something to turn the education system around. We lost many good teachers and it seems that we are still losing them.
Solid guy. Humble, down to earth and easily the most sincere.
really looking forward to seeing other ministers on your podcast! this has got to be one of the best episodes :)
More to come!
A really watchable interview where CCS is being candid and personal sharing. Nice to watch him interacting very well with young people.
nice to hear minister personally talk. this side of him so nice
He is a humble guy to be honest. Met him a few times at CCAB Evans Road. Very low profile and would not expect VIP treatment.
Love it when your ministers can be down to earth just chatting and showing the are just regular citizens unlike on our side (you noisy neighbour) where they act like gods or watsoever
being a minister in Singapore is a really hard job, these people can easily make at least 3x their pay in private sector with better work-life balance but they still decided to take on the hard job for the nation.. really respect max
Really? I always thought being a minister is one of the highest paying job (apart from self employed), understandably to prevent corruption. The benchmark for an entry-level MR4 Minister is based on the median income of the top 1,000 Singapore citizens income earners.
@@SethyTan no lah. Their pay got cap one. Private sector no cap. Ex minister George Yeo now earning 6 to 10 mil a year in private sector where being a minister cap at 1.1mil a year some more not every year hit max cap 1.1mil.
@@SethyTan nope not at all. I have a close friend who became an MP in 2020. He is currently running a constituency and having a day job.
He has taken a pay cut to be an MP, and it entails a lot of sacrifice. Basically it is a calling. Btw MPs (at least with PAP) have to be approached, and not volunteered. Of course one has the choice to reject it as well.
For my friend, he agreed with the calling and wanted to serve.
He could easily have stayed on in his cushy career where he can work less and get paid a lot more in the long run.
People always say MPs are overpaid. But honestly, the very brilliant people (suitable for government) often have a lot of career options. ANd even if minister pay can just match those pays, not all will take up. It is a huge responsibility and a LOT of work and commitment.
In fact even the existing ministers can easily earn more outside if they stayed in their fields, and have better lifestyles.
People also so, govt job shouldnt be about pay. But if this is the reality and proven to be effective in attracting talents, then it is. People also forget that if you talk about US government and senators, their main pay is not from the office itself. But their own businesses and in the president's case, even book endorsements, talks, sitting on boards of companies etc.
ANd it has more been proven then if pay is low and if there are no side gigs, corruption comes in.
Being a minsiter in sg has no accountability
@@martinlee7102 account your uncle
I like him more and more over time, amazingly smart but also pragmatic dude
At last, Minister Chan speaking like Minister Chan! 😉 Informally! Love to listen to this guy.
He's always been a true blue Singaporean and one of us - meaning not particularly eloquent and good at public speaking. Didn't have a good first impression of him until I worked as a musician for some events he was the guest for. He is one of the very few ministers who will acknowledge and thank you for working with them. On the contrary, there are some MPs on the lower rungs that will treat the crew as completely invisible. Also glad to hear he attends service regular, thank God for having a badass like that in the government.
Lol.. the stunned like banana look on minister's face when Denise shared abt the period and pad podcast.😂 It's his relatability and easy going manners that makes him so likeable.
That is the only time he was speechless
Thanks guys for another amazing episode, down to earth and it’s very refreshing to see this side of ministers and the people that seem so “far” away from us.
Achievement unlocked! Time to invite Mr LSL next :D
What if it actually happens tho
Who is LSL?
@@ObeluStrawberry Singapore PM Mr Lee Hsien Loong
“Politicians are the smartest people in the country”
As a Malaysian that’s damn funny 🤣🤣
True what, when it comes to coming up with ways to move money into their pockets 🤣
In Malaysia, our politicians think they are the smartest people in the country 😃
For Singapore it's partially true.
@@Brainiac5 Well, I think some of them might think that they are "the boss" which they are not. They are in fact public servants. Yes, although they were elected to be the leaders of the country but at the same time, they are supposed to serve the public and hence they are actually called public servants too. Hope to see that more and more true leaders would come up not with a "boss" attitude but instead to live out a good example of how a real leader and humble public servant should be. May God bless Singapore and God bless Malaysia too.
Same when opposition became government..
Sold every asset you have then claim our country make money..only dumb followers follow them
Great to see Min. Chan in a free flowing, relaxed mode.
I am so impressed. A Msian here and I follow Spore ministers quite closely.. the cabinet is a little bit like the Vatican's College of Cardinals. This is the most candid and relaxed interview of any Sporean minister.
What I gathered from this episode is that Min. Chan accidentally became COA 😂
Very interesting and real episode. Are we able to see PM Lee on the show in the future?
Minister CCS is really by nature very down to earth man, thumbs up!! One feedback I feel too many people talking at the same time, they should have allowed Minister CCS to answer their qns without overlapping each other. Otherwise I really enjoy this episode 😁
Great content! Minister Chan seems like a great person to be around. Comes across as a down-to-earth and practical person. Hope to see more prominent politicians on this podcast.
I like this mp, feels very down to earth and friendly. On the same wavelength
another excellent episode! kudos to the TDK team for bringing in a Minister...whos next PM to be or PM himself?
Minister Chan is very natural
We love him too!
This channel deserves 10x this number of subscribers! Keep up the good work.
Should ft. more Ministers....Min Ong should come on to the show too. :)
One of the greatest episodes imo! Quality was there + casual talk as well! More of this pls!
Good PR move coming on here. Appreciate his candid-ness. Apparently he's really like this as education minister but his initial public image rubbed people like me the wrong way. Thanks for this ep guys, it was a really easy listen.
Singapore chooses very carefully their Minster’s and I am of the opinion they are all very well educated,smart and most importantly up to the job! That’s one of the key factors for Singapore success and wish more countries would follow their lead. Greetings from Ireland!
Fantastic podcast...thank you. I had always thought that Minister Chan had the common touch. This podcast simply proved it beyond doubt. I was also very happy and impressed at how the 4 millennials were so comfortable and relaxed with the Minister. This speaks volumes about the absolutely positive future for Singapore's democracy. Would be good to see a podcast featuring an opposition MP...Sylvia Lim? Pritam Singh? (ex MP) Loh Thia Khiang? (future MP but super popular) Nicole Seah? Thanks guys...look forward to the next one! 👍🙂
22:32 "you are a very interesting man"
Very humble leader
Excellent choice. Tbh PAP MPs are really running their ass off. Lol, in my constituency I can see my MP hosting events and all and running all the charity and stuffs. Last time don’t have one. Shadow also cannot see
Great guest to have on the show!!!!! Thanks for inviting the education minister!!!
Enjoyed the episode! Always enjoyed Min’s Chan speech n sharing. More of this of other ministers pse
Should have ask him to jio another minister to the show
Really respect Min. Chan after watching this. The top takeaway is "in life you dont always get to do what you want to do.
Wah! Win already! Can get Min Chan for such down to earth chat! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
omg I really like this episode!! laugh at few parts haha I like it that its not so formal and its super enjoyable !!!!!
Imagine inviting Lee Hisen Loong to the talk
I like how casual he is
Great episode! Love how candid the interview format was
Mr Chan is easy going n hs no air frm him... ..very humble n relatable type of person. He came frm humble background n his upbringing is good.....😊
Totally agree with mr Chan. Our era is if the teacher punishes, parents will double punish.
very down to earth person!
FORREST GUM. LOL. But this minister really show a human side of the politicians. Very down-to-earth and humble. Really gives a different impression from other politicians, like only elitist, ambitious person deserves a spot in life.
this is amazing... Never seen this side of Minister CCS before...
Such a chill minister!! Love it
This episode gave me a very jood impression of Chan Chun Sing. He is so down to earth n humble n a good man.
I trust this Minister he is so naturally kind.👍👍👍👋👋
Love this episode and Minister is chatty and down to earth. Pls do more! Thank you
This is by far the most interesting episode so far..!
Awesome episode, wish it was longer!!
Min Chan is candid. Like🫰
wow the company's really growing! a cabinet minister on set! cool!
Wow really interesting episode great to see this perspective for a change
Minister Chan very cute and funny. 🤣
Solid episode ! More of this
It’s a very enlightening episode…well done once again
Great episode as always!
Gotta be very courageous to joke with the minister and ask questions like this. Good. We should contrast his official interview here with his other “closed door” meetings… he made the phrase “Xia suey” popular if y’all remember
Good chat. Very honest and casual sharing by all parties allowing viewers to know the ministers better. Keep up the good work.
I like this video, to know our MP better instead of waiting for election campaign then we get more to know about our MP.
This episode is solid and awesome.
Wtf hahahaha this is some next level guest feature sia
Really enjoyed this episode, made Minister Chan more human and relatable. Always had this impression that ministers are pretentious but this video is starting to sway me away from that.
Great episode! 👍🏻
so cool to know the pov of a minister! so humouroes HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Fantastic session. Keep it up.
Min. Chan is growing on me, even the leaked audio is funny if u listen to it rather than read the article’s interpretation of it, which seems abit negative.
Talking about serious stuff in a humorous way is a skill of communication.
Wah got minister sia. I haven't click so fast in awhile
Keep these episodes coming!
Really good episode!
