A good talker doesn't necessarily mean smarter. When I was young I foolishly believed that good speaker were smarter. Now that I m in my sunset years I discovered how wrong I was.
agreed, but certain roles require you to articulate and give confidence what you are doing is right, so speaking well comes in handy (fortunately unfortunately).
Although retired MP Low of WP is not legally trained, he managed to withstand the barrage of questions thrown at him using his wits and wisdom. Low's famous phrase.' Ownself .check oneself' directed at PAP is amusing. PAP has always been an opposition killer throughout its reign.
While this video was the product of a lot of effort, the video is ultimately just my opinion (when I made the video). Feel free to come to your own conclusion. In fact, I'd rather you disagree with me thoughtfully than agree with me uncritically.
This video is highly revealing and hats off to the presenter. The commentaries and coverages were spot on and by separating the men from the boys, it reminded us that personal qualities and public speaking skills determine the credibility of political leaders and political wisdom carries them through thick and thin. In this regard, LHL is a master in this and he performed better than his father at times.
Mr Pritam Singh is more presentable in look and substance. I love my country which is rich, but why the citizens are struggling from hands to mouth. Young and old are not proud anymore today.
I agree! And that's why I emphasized at the start of the video that "this video isn't about who has the better policy". But whether we like it or not, humans are influenced by oratory as we're emotional beings.
Let me share a harsh truth of life. It's not about what you say but how you say it. In an ideal world, logic beats emotions. Unfortunately, we don't have such a world. If you know anyone that has studied communications, you can ask them. It's seen as a useless topic to study but the truth is quite the opposite. Being factual is not good enough, it's about being able to persuade people while being factual. That involves playing into people's emotions while being factual. That's a skill that is learnt and developed.
PAP has better oratory than opposition though and have political popularity. But their feel the ground policies sucks, Sg citizens don't have much future if they dont succeed in life. Lacking health and career retrenchment safeguards is a key issue in SG, and they say "Oh cannot must save more for next generation", but u already have shortage of marriage and babies so there is less next generation. A successful country is when non-performing and successful citizens live their life happily under security and bliss.
@@markfish1113 Lol. Legit laughed at the "less next generation". We might not even have a next generation in one or two more decades. Birth rates hit below one last year. Even in my personal circle, literally only a handful have children. They are almost on their own because everyone else is childless. So, they don't have many people that can relate to their lifestyle.
Sorry to say I am not on the same boat. So far I prefer Wong as successor because he sets expectations across the board, like how future elections from now will definitely be more contested.
PAP or infact any other parties are run by human beings . Nobody is perfect . But PAP is using money to buy hearts under the guise of aiding . My saying is if you feed a fish , you will have to feed it for it's entire life till death . For how long can it be sustained ? For how long can the government continue to bribe , I mean feed us ?
Our mighty leader is right to say LTK should give better views if he has. But the Opposition dont know the health or status or accounting truth of the Reserves. So WP cannot make a concrete improvement to policies

Being the singapore record first Voted Out Minister of the PAP, how does GY feel ? I feel ashamed for him. Its in the record books for eternity. How about we buy the internet and block all this bad news?
You based things on how policies are presented & how questions are answered . Bro , honestly ... If you know what people like to hear , you surely answer the questions according to what they like to hear . It's human nature for people to like to only hear what they like to hear . Yes , PAP in most people's heart cannot be replaced . But why are there people voting for opposition party ? If you say that they are ignorant or whatever , but isn't it the same for those who voted the PAP ? We all can vote for any party we choose to . When a man becomes rich , he forgets that he was once poor . When a man obtains power , he forgot that he was once struggling & if struggling is of concern , means powerless . One who can still be himself is the one who is able to truly know the times he went through to become rich & powerful . And not one who gain those & forget those who got him there in the first place .
Hello , politics is more complicated than what this young man is trying to potrait . Out speaking the other party is just one part and Lawrence will be better and better. I have no doubt on that. Pritam is a lawyer and Lawrence is an economist and surely he have to pick up the speaking part.
Attend 'Toast master' club for practical experience. Throw yourself into the ring and withstand any question thrown at you using your wits. Got to be quick minded to articulate your thoughts across. The demised Jeyaretnam once an MP stood well in parliament to pose killer question at the PAP regime in parliament. Its a delight seeing how how he presents himself. SP leader, Mr Chee is also quite good in his debate.
While only a little bit of Obama's book ("The Promised Land") focuses on public speaking, I think it's worth a read. Besides that, Peggy Noonan's book "On Speaking Well" is pretty good. On a somewhat different topic, I liked Roger Fisher and William Ury's "Getting to Yes".
Thanks for your feedback. My video says "The Worker’s Party, or WP, has been Singapore’s biggest opposition party for around two decades." The two decades refers to the time that WP has been the biggest opposition party (not when it was formed)
There is no need to out-speak any one. Just take care of the country to a higher level of economic growth with peace and harmony among the many different races, languages religions etc., etc. Most of us citizens of Singapore are matured enough to know who are the capable ones who love the country and the people's from a few who just want to make a show of themselves. From my own obsession all these 60years or so by the PAP, there are some good and responsible opposition members who talk sense and supportive of the PAP government
Singaporeans should NOT be mistaken and feel proud of the currency exchange BECAUSE the "Benefits" of Cheaper Imports are NOT passed down to Singaporeans example eaten away by the "Enterprise created internal inflations" and Only serves to benefit the Rich at the expense of the hardships of ordinary Singaporeans. In case any one of you are in doubts, just compare prices across the border OR the price of your petrol. Vote for Change. Vote for Alternatives.
Whatever it is i hope Singaporeans will not dig their own graves by just opposing for the sake of pleasing the opposition. Voting is not a game of thrones! Its our lives and our living. Can the opposition contribute to make our lives better not in terms of words only!
What citizen want is action not just talk . Not true govt do not admit mistakes. The recent GST refund is one example of oneself check oneself. Opposition is quiet on this
Non-Singaporean here, but heavily invested in Singaporean politics as I look up to both how your government and opposition parties conduct themselves. I think the greatest thing that Mr LHL did here is that in his exchange with LTK, he ended up making the latter support the oft-repeated stereotype that the WP is just "PAP-lite." Obviously, this isn't the case - there are points where WP diverges in terms of policy, but by asking fundamental questions and cornering LTK, LHL made his party look substandard - at least in this exchange. Again, not a criticism of the WP or Mr LTK. I'm aware that the latter has done so much for Singapore during his tenure as de-facto opposition leader, but this shows how much Mr LHL has mastered the art of debating. He displays his stance clearly, his arguments are very structured, and the 4G team will need to learn from his example if they intend to keep the PAP on the apex of SG politics.
We need our leaders able to forecast future and lead us on. Wong only know how to solve current issue and hand out goodies as if from his pocket!

Yes Pritam is the more polished speaker.

WP has better feel on ground sentiments but PAP debate better though, they are made of elite scholars whom practiced public speaking since young. Do u actually believe Pritam Singh was Normal Acad student and Low Thia Khiang was from Nantah University?
That's your opinion. Anybody can publish their opinions online but are opinions facts? Everyone has to decide for themselves. Ya ya. you are getting lots of attention by placing something controversial.
Agree, this video is just my opinion. And opinions are not facts. Indeed, everyone should decide for themselves. I would rather viewers disagree with me thoughtfully than agree with me without critical thinking.
I believe now most Singaporeans know that Pritam is a backstabber. The tender from Sengkang Town Council saw zero applications from Singaporean businesses. How can it be not even 1 tender? It shows that even the businesses knew to avoid the WP at all costs to the extent that they didn't even want to do business and earn profit with WP. This video talks about PAP and WP. However, the editor failed to include another stakeholder, the citizens of Singapore. a.k.a, the voters. The Singaporean voters are very cunning and they are very calculative and opportunists. They are not stupid but shrewd as well. I recalled Mr. Tan Kin Lian talking about receiving a call from a motorist telling him that he was on his way to the voting station and asking to borrow a few hundred dollars from Mr. Tan. The motorist's intention is obvious but shameless. We have a big group of shrewd voters who don't bother with all the drama from either side but vote based on their own short-, medium-, and long-term interests.
I had always had a misperception that Gov cannot and must not be criticised. I felt is was Taboo. Now i realise my perception was wrong, i was thinking like a suject of an Imperial Ancient China Emperor system.
What nonsense this lhl us talking. His policy is the same as his father; totally nothing new. But the circumstances are different now. Singapore has become a rich nation. Yet lhl yet wants the present generation to continue to suffer, for future generation?? The government has more than enough to help the present generation and still save enough for the future. The costs of living are now unusually high, yet lhl still talks like his father when Singapore was poorer. The grandfather wants his grandchildren to continue to tighten their belt and suffer while he drives around in a rolls Royce(ministers salaries and salary of temasik chairman). Lhl is uncaring and has no vision.
In 1 of my comments earlier in another video I mentioned once Lawrence Wong take over its the beginning of decline in Singapore. He doesn't have the exposure, political acumen and capabilities of managing Singapore. In the world political arena he looks small. I think Pritam speaks better than him.
If this gain support during lky and gct leadership , I agree totally , no doubt , but take a comparison this present leadership is way much worst and u point finger at opposition just to boot lick pap brings disaster , sufferings and destruction to Singapore n singaporeans . During lky period out of 10 the score is 9 , gct score is 8 , LHL the score is 2 , really unacceptable is s worst and needs change badly , very bad.
Stop your lecturing when LHL deliberately deflate a torny issue which is substantive which LHL cannot deny the valid points raised by the opposition party which represent the people.
Not true that the GST increase hurts the poor’: Lawrence Wong 2 Mar 2022 GST hike impacts on prices is "once off" and not permanent.: Lawrence Wong 28 Feb 2024 How to Trust him? How to Trust PAP?
Pls accept LW was never an LKY Pick … He’s Only part of 4G Boy Scout Team assembled by 3G 😂…Given series of “ Phenomena “ since LKY’s Passing … ie. High Profile Distancing, Covert Changes in Law Quickly Passed thru Parliament , PAP’s Recent Own Goal Season etc ..Combined, Not be too Surprised if SG ends up with a Coalition Government INTENTIONALLY 😂🎉❤ …

Not only does your video presents a simplistic linear picture, many of your assertions are weak opinions. So dun make it sound as if it is a well established fact. Also you have some inaccuracies in your video. Check the transcript again.
@@weiwenleung Dear tom dick harry analyst, it is not my job to educate inadequacies or inefficiencies. For the simple reason that, based on your above reply, it can be implied that you cannot even differentiate facts from supported opinions. This is the bottom basic and yet you are here talking about political upperhand. Mr Singh have the upperhand? Really? I dont even need to be a enemy of Mr Singh to be able to cite 'facts' or rather empirical obervations to support the claim that Mr Singh does not control a upper hand.
Not a bad video.... But I believe there is alot answering to do, if or when WP take over.... Coz there may be a chance alot of our reserves had been destroyed due to bad investments and the 9% is going to help to restore it but it will take quite some time
despite the growing in power of opposition.....i still dont think is enough to overthrow the pap. See the goodies they give this year........they will still have many silent supporters..............those ppl who dont want their rice bowl to be affected. In regards to presentation skills i guess the strongest now is Chee Soon Juan....
@jesh1075 PSP Non-Constituency MP Leong Mun Wai has been issued an order under Singapore's fake news law to carry a correction to a Facebook post he made about a couple who purportedly needed financial assistance for their health problems, but had been overlooked by govt agencies.
Public speaking is important, but i prefer Lawrence Wong to LHL because LHL is just a good speaker without brains and possibly insidious motives. Don't forget the time bombs that LKY planted to destroy Singapore. In self conceit, he declared his own house sacred- this caused a rift between his iffspring and now one son is in exile. Out of LKY eugenics based policies, our birth rate is in constant downfall. So the facts matter and if citizens just choose the smooth speaker, they too are voting towards their own downfall.
The PAP had promised many things BUT failed. Life has not been better but made worse with the rising cost of living and GST and Carbon tax hikes taxing the poor, jobless and unemployed. The next you know is Tax/Fees Hike and prying the public housing further.
PM is OK. But, he still needs to punch harder in a debate. LMW is too feeble and should learn to rebut better. He is improving slowly.Oral skills cannot be learnt easily, overnight.
@tanst7859 After investigations by the Committee oof Privileges on 10 Feb 2022, the Committee recommended that Raeesah Khan be fined 35,000.00 with Pritam Simgh and Muhamad Faisal bin Abdul Manap being referred to the Public Prosecutor for prosecution.

WP has better feel on ground sentiments but PAP debate better though, they are made of elite scholars whom practiced public speaking since young. Do u actually believe Pritam Singh was Normal Acad student and Low Thia Khiang was from Nantah University?
?why not
PAP good in 'roti prata', never admit their mistakes!
That's your opinion. Anybody can publish their opinions online but are opinions facts? Everyone has to decide for themselves. Ya ya. you are getting lots of attention by placing something controversial.
Agree, this video is just my opinion. And opinions are not facts. Indeed, everyone should decide for themselves. I would rather viewers disagree with me thoughtfully than agree with me without critical thinking.
I believe now most Singaporeans know that Pritam is a backstabber. The tender from Sengkang Town Council saw zero applications from Singaporean businesses. How can it be not even 1 tender? It shows that even the businesses knew to avoid the WP at all costs to the extent that they didn't even want to do business and earn profit with WP. This video talks about PAP and WP. However, the editor failed to include another stakeholder, the citizens of Singapore. a.k.a, the voters. The Singaporean voters are very cunning and they are very calculative and opportunists. They are not stupid but shrewd as well. I recalled Mr. Tan Kin Lian talking about receiving a call from a motorist telling him that he was on his way to the voting station and asking to borrow a few hundred dollars from Mr. Tan. The motorist's intention is obvious but shameless. We have a big group of shrewd voters who don't bother with all the drama from either side but vote based on their own short-, medium-, and long-term interests.
Zero application due to companies scared of PAP?
Stay pimped and rich
Rest us don't exist in your memory of junior generations ❤
The way I see it - the PAP is very dogmatic in its arguments and reasonings .
Weiwen, do you want my Honest answer or do you want my politically correct answer? The banker is the one with power. Banker always win
I had always had a misperception that Gov cannot and must not be criticised. I felt is was Taboo. Now i realise my perception was wrong, i was thinking like a suject of an Imperial Ancient China Emperor system.
Wong rejects Popularism in any form. I am just glad he gave the goodies mevertheless😊
Give away but also takes back even more than pap gave as usual .
What nonsense this lhl us talking. His policy is the same as his father; totally nothing new. But the circumstances are different now. Singapore has become a rich nation. Yet lhl yet wants the present generation to continue to suffer, for future generation?? The government has more than enough to help the present generation and still save enough for the future. The costs of living are now unusually high, yet lhl still talks like his father when Singapore was poorer. The grandfather wants his grandchildren to continue to tighten their belt and suffer while he drives around in a rolls Royce(ministers salaries and salary of temasik chairman). Lhl is uncaring and has no vision.
Pritam is only good for rhetorics with lots of motherhood statements. Most Singaporeans are too practical to buy into that
I agree with the motherhood statements fully but for most Singaporeans ablility to not buy into that, i do pray so.
In 1 of my comments earlier in another video I mentioned once Lawrence Wong take over its the beginning of decline in Singapore. He doesn't have the exposure, political acumen and capabilities of managing Singapore. In the world political arena he looks small. I think Pritam speaks better than him.
Singaporean depending on emotions are weak
PS > lawrence
Speaking well doesn't mean you can perform well. So, don't stir the pot.
All bayees are good natural debator eloquent presenters. Malaysia have the tiger of julutong Karpal Singh his 4 children are lawyer's
Thick，Bushy eyebrows😊
PAP will still gain all support. Who want the incapable opposition party, i know your agenda young man.
Pap gain support because singaporeans loves and addicted to pay more for less , later complain money not ENUF as usual , how idiotic ?
If this gain support during lky and gct leadership , I agree totally , no doubt , but take a comparison this present leadership is way much worst and u point finger at opposition just to boot lick pap brings disaster , sufferings and destruction to Singapore n singaporeans .
During lky period out of 10 the score is 9 , gct score is 8 , LHL the score is 2 , really unacceptable is s worst and needs change badly , very bad.
Mr sing join PAP u are you can get support
Stop your lecturing when LHL deliberately deflate a torny issue which is substantive which LHL cannot deny the valid points raised by the opposition party which represent the people.
Kind of like your analysis ..
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Feel free to explain which parts you didn't like, so my next video can be even better.
Singh prime minister. It's a joke
I lost all my trust in Pritam Singh the moment he threw Raeesah Khan under the bus in 2021 to protect himself.
Not true that the GST increase hurts the poor’: Lawrence Wong 2 Mar 2022
GST hike impacts on prices is "once off" and not permanent.: Lawrence Wong 28 Feb 2024
How to Trust him?
How to Trust PAP?
Pls accept LW was never an LKY Pick … He’s Only part of 4G Boy Scout Team assembled by 3G 😂…Given series of “ Phenomena “ since LKY’s Passing … ie. High Profile Distancing, Covert Changes in Law Quickly Passed thru Parliament , PAP’s Recent Own Goal Season etc ..Combined, Not be too Surprised if SG ends up with a Coalition Government INTENTIONALLY 😂🎉❤ …
@Hs5687 DSAI was never Mahathir's pick, but he is now PM of Malaysia, whilst Mahathir and sons are being investigated. You, a second class Malaysian citizen do not understand the Bumis. Do not insult the Bumis.
Not only does your video presents a simplistic linear picture, many of your assertions are weak opinions. So dun make it sound as if it is a well established fact. Also you have some inaccuracies in your video. Check the transcript again.
Can you please point out the factual inaccuracies? And things that I claim are "well established facts" but are not?
@@weiwenleung Dear tom dick harry analyst, it is not my job to educate inadequacies or inefficiencies. For the simple reason that, based on your above reply, it can be implied that you cannot even differentiate facts from supported opinions. This is the bottom basic and yet you are here talking about political upperhand. Mr Singh have the upperhand? Really? I dont even need to be a enemy of Mr Singh to be able to cite 'facts' or rather empirical obervations to support the claim that Mr Singh does not control a upper hand.
Pritam he just talk but no show action…….. HAMER EH 🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨🔨
All vote him then he have the power to serve singaporeans .
Exactly what sort of action are you expecting from him?
You need 1/3 to do any action.
Not a bad video.... But I believe there is alot answering to do, if or when WP take over.... Coz there may be a chance alot of our reserves had been destroyed due to bad investments and the 9% is going to help to restore it but it will take quite some time
The PAP is uncaring and out of touch . Nothing of that is furthest from the truth.
despite the growing in power of opposition.....i still dont think is enough to overthrow the pap. See the goodies they give this year........they will still have many silent supporters..............those ppl who dont want their rice bowl to be affected. In regards to presentation skills i guess the strongest now is Chee Soon Juan....
Another bias video done by mediocre people.
Can you explain how I am biased and mediocre?
@@weiwenleungJust watch your own video .
Because how dare you even suggest that any part of the PAP is in any way not as good as the opposition? How dare you!
PSP
@jesh1075 PSP Non-Constituency MP Leong Mun Wai has been issued an order under Singapore's fake news law to carry a correction to a Facebook post he made about a couple who purportedly needed financial assistance for their health problems, but had been overlooked by govt agencies.
PCC! Vote for PCC!
@@jer2911.LWay much better than being charge for corruption . Hahahahha .
Public speaking is important, but i prefer Lawrence Wong to LHL because LHL is just a good speaker without brains and possibly insidious motives.
Don't forget the time bombs that LKY planted to destroy Singapore. In self conceit, he declared his own house sacred- this caused a rift between his iffspring and now one son is in exile. Out of LKY eugenics based policies, our birth rate is in constant downfall.
So the facts matter and if citizens just choose the smooth speaker, they too are voting towards their own downfall.
LW is also a very good speaker and packaging way better than he is.
Lawrence Wong is a Singapore Barack Obama.
He appears more amiable and a good listener as a start.
The PAP had promised many things BUT failed.
Life has not been better but made worse with the rising cost of living and GST and Carbon tax hikes taxing the poor, jobless and unemployed.
The next you know is Tax/Fees Hike and prying the public housing further.
PM Pritam Singh… Opposition Leader Wong
PM is OK. But, he still needs to punch harder in a debate. LMW is too feeble and should learn to rebut better. He is improving slowly.Oral skills cannot be learnt easily, overnight.
@tanst7859 After investigations by the Committee oof Privileges on 10 Feb 2022, the Committee recommended that Raeesah Khan be fined 35,000.00 with Pritam Simgh and Muhamad Faisal bin Abdul Manap being referred to the Public Prosecutor for prosecution. A Parliamentary debate was held on 15 Febuary with the recommendation accepted.
Is the matter deemed as closed.@@jer2911.L
