1
We have not got neighbors who want to see us prosper.
2
We are an upstart in this region,
3
but we can survive for so long and I believe can survive Given the international environment,
4
provided we have a strong system that enables us to maximize our chances, are we not vulnerable?
5
If we are not vulnerable, why do we spend 5 to 6 % of GDP year after year?
6
Are we mad?
7
This is a frugal government you know.
8
We dug a deep tunnel for the sewers at a cost of two billion dollars in order to use
9
that sewerage water for new water, to be independent.
10
So all the wafer flaps, all the non -potable water, clean water, is catered for in that way.
11
We are not vulnerable.
12
You'd be dead.
13
they can beseech you the indonesians just cut off your sea lines
14
and your your business comes to a halt what is our
15
reply our reply security council plus defense capabilities of our own
16
plus a security framework agreement with the americans they stop sand abundance of sand everywhere why As Mahalia says
17
Even the present size They are a trouble You let them grow Some more There will be more trouble
18
You got friendly neighbours
19
Grow up You need to persuade Large segments Of the population
20
That we are not That normal country That Many of the things
21
That are practiced In other countries Including many of the Smaller countries
22
Will not work in Singapore Including You know having a more competitive political environment where leaders are thrown out?
23
No. We are not preventing competition.
24
What we are preventing is dads getting into government, getting into parliament.
25
Look at the quality.
26
Any person of quality, we welcome him.
27
But we don't want dads in.
28
We don't want Chi Sun Chuan, Cha Radnam.
29
They are dads.
30
They are not going to build a country.
31
But any serious man turns up and forms an alternative.
32
I say equal to us, I say good.
33
Then we are getting a proper alternative.
34
Are you satisfied with the level of competition that exists now, given our system?
35
Or would you actually have preferred something a bit more competitive?
36
I've told you we'd be quite happy if we get a small group of equal caliber contesting against us.
37
I mean, you look at the nominated MPs, they talk more sense, right?
38
Would they fight an election?
39
No. So?
40
But they got the brain power.
41
They got the knowledge.
42
But they're not prepared to jump into the sea.
43
well there's a point of view that that's because um many people are intimidated
44
are you intimidated well i'm asking you this question
45
so obviously i'm not but i just say that there is a perception
46
and it's a very real perception i mean among those of us who you know usually interview people
47
and all that it's very hard i mean very hard to break it down
48
but that it i mean it exists it's fairly pervasive even among the professionals If you believe you are any good,
49
I mean, you look at this chap who, who stood up for gay rights, he's not intimidated.
50
He's not intimidated.
51
We have no objections.
52
If he goes and joins the Workers' Party and takes us on, we'll take him on.
53
but he can't join the workers party and just let him lambast us away
54
we'll demolish him as hard as he tries to demolish us that's part of the game right
55
why did i break down when i got out in on 9th august because i left behind
56
tens of thousands of people who have joined our rallies
57
and I knew that they were going to be handicapped because they were again a minority and leaderless.
58
We provided the leadership.
59
So when you tell me you're not vulnerable,
60
I say, God, you just speak to the SAF commanders and why do they do this?
61
Two years of every man's, young man's life.
62
5 to 6 percent of GDP and a frugal government and builds up reserves We do this because of hallucinations
63
Or because that is the only way we can survive

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
