Speaking of results…

The Rhetoric

“I let the results speak for themselves.”
– PM Goh Chok Tong, Straits Times, Sep 3, 2003

The Reality

“Singapore unemployment hits 17-year high.”
– Financial Times, Oct 31, 2003

“In 2001, Singapore gained the dubious honour of being dubbed by Reuters ‘Asia’s hub of depression’ after a survey of 5,300 people in seven Asian countries found that Singaporeans were those most likely to suffer from depression, stress and fatigue.”
– Straits Times, Oct 25, 2003
