This sounds like a certain opposition party taking a shot at a minister before the GE. Cheap shot i would say!

i agree...imho i think our minister, Dr Vivian Balakrishnan has done his best...

[g8crasher]

"The YOG has no tangible benefits for Singaporeans and is nothing more but a $387 million dollar "vanity fair" of Dr Vivian Balakrishnan."

And what a sweeping statement that is. Tsk tsk.

but isnt it sinful to see so much cash on fireworks, volvo/merc official cars just for this event? And then giving your own Singaporean volunteers crap food?

[Guest blackmercs]

Hey guys don't u feel proud abt it at all??? So what do u guys expect?? World class standard? anyone here do can e job well & ensure ZERO cock up???

[Guest shawnyswsg]

First time doing, agreed. Cannot ensure no cock up, agreed. Spending that kind of money, overbudget.. I believe we have proposals, checks and balances, audits over another to curb that right? I believe all of us who have our business would not go over the reds the first time round, no?

DOnt get me wrong, we have done well. But considering that these are your taxes, etc... they should have been better spent with more help given to the poor/needy. And not put to lavish. The organizing team, team singapore has done well, we need to improve on our finances.

[Guest blackmercs]

Finances Mgmt must be monitor closely , totally agreed. But for e sake of ur nation!! Why not??

[Guest shawnyswsg]

Sure.. If it's national day.. I guess it's a different perspective for every individual. To me, no doubt it's a inaugural event.. Singaporean well being should come first.. Imagine just spending 1 million on rnd on our floods and prob my house wouldn't be flooded!! Haha.. Jus to share, the Athens olympics had a fiscal damage of 12 billion... Meaning we are 40 times cheaper. But are we really just 40 times less or lesser in terms of marketing ourselves compared to Athens? It's hard to put a gauge since such effects are intuitive rather than objective.

Cheem!! Aanyway, I LOVE SINGAPORE!!
