Goodies from PM Lee

On his maiden speech last nite, PM Lee impressed everyone wif lots of initiatives. 5 day week for civil servant like me, more baby incentives to encourage procreation, more freedom to speak etc. Wow, he had really tailored his speech in such a way that it will cover a whole spectrum of issues. I would say PM Lee was a bit nervous cos if you have watched his rally, he fumbled a few times. Guess it is not an easy job to address the nation for more than 3 hours. I enjoyed his speech and he was hilarious, relax and allow everyone to look at his softer side.

He had SM Goh's connecting to the people kind of attitute but he had also inherited his father MM Lee's stern and firm genes. He is in between both of them. hee... He can articulate well, citing good examples such as using neighbourhood school when he speaks abt the education system. I was from a neighbourhood school. Cos pple always like to tok abt top schools like RI, Hwa Chong, RGS, RV etc, the reason being they deliver excellent students. Come on lar, where do the majority of the students come from? most came from neighbourhood school. PM Lee is trying to connect pple at the lowest level, taking care of everyone whenever possible. He does not only focus the top notch but also the others who made up the society.

On the whole, it was a fabulous speech. I am sure he will do better in the upcoming rallies as well. Anyway, his rally kept me busy the whole morning trying to rush for many many stories. I am now waiting to see wat Lim Hng Kiang got to say on wed when he announced more details....ha... i am also a young singaporean, you know.....
