Goh Chok Tong attacks Chiam See Tong on union with Malaysia idea
By Daniel Buenas
May 01, 2006
PEOPLE'S Action Party leaders - including Senior Minister Goh Chok Tong - last night launched a scathing attack on veteran opposition leader Chiam See Tong's idea for economic union between Singapore and Malaysia.
Speaking at a PAP rally in Potong Pasir, Mr Goh - who has been tasked by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong to help the party's candidate Sitoh Yih Pin unseat incumbent Mr Chiam in the coming elections - said the opposition leader was not being a 'realist'.
He was referring to Mr Chiam's suggestion at a rally in Chua Chu Kang Park on Saturday that one way to grow the economy would be for Singapore and Malaysia to strike an economic union.
'Economic union is possible only between two countries of equals, otherwise it is not possible,' Mr Goh said. 'My point for bringing this out is, to show that (while Mr Chiam) has some ideals, some vision, he is not a realist.'
Mr Chiam had also said on Saturday that such a union would allow Singaporeans to travel freely to Malaysia, and that because the Opposition has no history with the Malaysian government, it could 'bargain on a clean slate' on bilateral issues.
In response, Mr Goh said: 'When it comes to negotiations with the Malaysians, would you rather Lee Kuan Yew negotiate or Chiam See Tong? Just ask yourself . . . would you rather I (or PM Lee) negotiate, or Chiam See Tong?'
Mr Chiam's comments also came under fire from two other PAP leaders who turned up at the rally - Trade and Industry Minister Lim Hng Kiang and Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports Vivian Balakrishnan - as well as Mr Sitoh himself.
Mr Balakrishnan noted that, while Mr Chiam's plan would allow Singaporeans to 'pack their bags and travel to Malaysia anytime', it would also allow equal access to Singapore.
'His teammates in the Singapore Democratic Alliance have been saying that foreigners have been taking away jobs from Singaporeans,' Mr Balakrishnan said.
'You want union? You want free entry of people, of foreigners . . . are you really talking about making this place so everyone can come here? No work permits, no employment pass no control? Think again. Think very carefully,' he said.
In his speech, Mr Lim also questioned Mr Chiam's suggestion, and asked Singaporeans to compare the economic strategy of the PAP to that of the Opposition in order to judge who would better serve their interests.
'Mr Chiam says, we join Malaysia, we have a market of 27 million straightaway. Therefore, we can have double-digit growth every year,' Mr Lim said. 'Wah lau, so easy ah . . . so why just join Malaysia? Why not join Indonesia? They have 240 million people. Maybe triple-digit growth.'

PAP, deep inside their minds, they have no concept of Singapore as a country, no concept of Singapore identity.
That is missing for PAP.
PAP and Singaporeans, they cannot co-exist.
One of them ultimately must die.
I think Singapore should be ruled by Singaporeans. Singapore cannot be ruled by PAP.
Something for you to cool down during cooling period:-

That guy who went back to China is a very smart guy. He knows any country who doesn't take care of their own people (citizens) can also do the same to foreigners in the future. When the foreigners lose their values here.
may be this year a small step forward, a tick for the opposition and a cross for PAP.
Next election, shift the balance to a tick to Opposition only.
It will take a few generations to change the loyalty and emotional feelings. Unless this year is the watershed battle for Singaporeans to step forward and vote for a change.
It takes a lot of guts to do that.
if no one makes noise we still expect ministers to be wiser. after all they should think and know the consequences of over-crowding - with forigners. all their and old man's ideas are but just slf-delusinal, building a Singapore they want to be, make believe with their 1st world pay packages.
its too late. my decision is already made. we want a change, i want them booted out.
And don't ever forget that at this very moment :
Shut up la Lee Hsien Loong. Want to talk , talk sense and be sincere.
Please do not carry out personal attack to the prince or else you will get "fixed" after the election.
We can discuss the policy and issues as a whole.
Our prince goin to turn back to frog soon
We will not be bringing in many foreigners translate to we will still be bringing in.
Where is the full stop? 7 millions ?
Has anybody counted how many lies Lee Hsien Loong has been giving during this election campaign? Sissy of Lies.
LEE HSIEN LOONG JUST SAID THAT THEY WILL DO WELL ON 7 mAY. Too early for him to make such statement no election results to prove.
Just drop dead and die, Lee Hsien Loong. Living parasites to get us to pay him the highest salary in the world
Curious, why does so many of you write as though PAP in power after election? I thought you want them all out and form new Gov't?
If Opposition become new Gov't can we forbid all foreigners to work here. After all, even for CEO position or other top positions, many Singaporeans will say they can do the job so no need to bring any foreigners in. Must also be fair to these Singaporeans, right?
Definitely close door to ALL new work permit applicants and cancel half of all existing work permits of all companies. If they cannot manage, too bad, tell them to hire Singaporeans. They can increase the pay offered until Singaporeans willing to accept.
Then everyone happy and no one will feel cheated.
I just want all of the PAP to all go to HELL!
Get out of my life, PAP motherfuckers!
what foreigner??? there got any?? they become PR then citizen faster than mi running my 2.4km lor..

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me"
He will bring in maybe slightly less foreigners but he will convert lots of them to PR, then PR become singapore citizens who will vote for him in 5 yrs time.

They can bring in lots of foreigners to work in the construction sites, roads, those jobs that are shun by sporean or those jobs that salary are too low to suppor their family members.
Thay must put on hold to those above the construction jobs like cleaners, recept, clerks, telehpone operators, etc...those jobs that can support one family survival.
They should know which area needs more and which area need less. And not all areas need foreign workes.
They are shooting its own people to their grave.
