A few nights ago, we see the Prime Minister having a national conversation with fellow Singaporeans on housing, foreign workers issues. Although I find the program a good start, I was puzzled that there was no vigorous debate on those issues. Someone in the audience will raise an issue he is concerned and the prime minister will reply to his concern. There will be no further reply from others after the prime minister conclusion. It is as if thing are rehearsed. Another thing I find strange is all 3 ministers agree with the prime minister opinion. It is hard to find two persons to agree in all issues. Let alone 3 persons to agree all the time.
Why do we need this program if the chat or debate is not candid?
