Tharman - worst finance minister

[Sammyboy RSS Feed]

An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:

Of all of Singapore's Finance Minister, only Tharman began his career in finance and economics and followed this path until he was identified for politics and absorbed into the. Admin scheme. Even GOh Keng Swee was more into social economics before entering politics.

Under Tharman, we had the following for a. Singaporean family

- depressed wages
- job insecurity
- unaffordable public housing for young families
- inflation in basic needs
- average wage earners no longer able to have overseas holidays
- no idea what the economic future holds for born and bred Singaporean

Under Tharman, foreigners had the following
- free and unbridled access to labour market at every level from cleaners to CEOs
- affordable or fee free regime to arrive and get jobs or setup companies that can employ all foreigners
- high end investors given PR when they purchase high end properties
- one his minister's husband had the great privilege of running a fund that gave PR visas
- access to public housing

Would Goh Keng Swee allow any of these to fester to catch hold.
