For Prime Minister Lee, his second term will need to reconcile state economic control with increasing expectations within the international business community of deregulation.

Multi-member wards have allowed the PAP to bring in new recruits with no political experience by leveraging on the strength of their veteran campaigners.

The incentives are targeted and they may make some difference to people who are in the working class or who are unemployed. I'd expect elections this year because the economic projections at the moment are reasonably positive.

All I can control is what I'm doing here. The expectations that I have on myself far exceed any situation.

I don't think this is a slam dunk, but I think the expectations had gotten a little out of control. Sports scores and emails are a great way to start, but don't expect this thing to be the end-all. Expect it to evolve. Realize that we are in the first inning of a nine-inning game.

It took us a long time to gain control of this game. The expectations we have for ourselves are so high, we feel the frustration.
