I know that many in my Generation (considered the 3G - 3rd Generation of Singapore) are gradually shiftingtowards the sides of the opposition.
WTF are they thinking?!
I mean.. I can understand those 2G or 1G citizens if they support the Opps.. Generally speaking, they are less-educated & maybe lack the foresight to see ahead. So issues like lower bus fares or cheaper medical cost or even the over-hype lift-upgrading might seem the most important thing in the world for them.
But the 3Gs?? why are they thinking along the same line as them.. i wonder.
Ok, to my point of view... the stupid lift-upgrading, ministers salary, transportation & medical cost are factors worth talking about but WHAT is the crucial thing for a country??? Lifts that stop at every floor? Free bus/mrt ride? Free health care??
NO people!! Wake up man!
It’s the ability to function, to survive as a country that is the most important.And how do we do that? We need to prosper, to get investments, create jobs... CREATE A FUTURE!
What the hell do you want the damn lift to stop at every floor if you are jobless and can’t even afford a house?What the fuck is your concern if the minister’s pay are 10000 times more than yours? Would you rather them be paid well than have them get the same miserable pay as you are constantly thinking of ways to make more $$.
They will the succumb to the 1st chance at bribery & end up with a freaking corrupt goverment like some Asian countries. Investment will stop coming in. Law will be nothing more that dollar signs, Police are just after your $$, You can get away with anything, thus crime will shoot up, Peace will be nothing more than just a nice memory, More people will lose their jobs, WP,SDP,SDA will be laughing all the way to their Swiss banks, kids will hate their parents, grandparents will disown you and go on strike, your uncles & aunties will staged countless protests and you can just take the freaking lift to every freaking floor because you freaking voted for it as you deem it to be the freaking most important thing in your life!!
Now, how’s that for a wake-up call??
It might seem far-fetched for Singapore, but hello.... go read the papers.. this is actually HAPPENING in countries that is less than 5hr flight from Singapore.
It will be a REALITIY.
Damn, am I the only one that apprecaites what PAP has done for Singapore?
Look, imagine you are in charge of a little island. With no natural resources, no waterfall, no water supply, no gold to mine, no coal to dig, no oil to drill, no nothing.. U have nothing!! Just a piece of land. How in the world do you make it one of the world’s BEST cities to live & work in? How do you even survive?
Through a good leadership, a government that puts the country in front of everything else. That is the way I see it.Every Tom, DIck or Harry knows that if you want something, you gotta work for it, if you want a big tree to provide shade, you gotta work, sweat & toiled for it.
Then after you can enjoy the fruits of your labour.
Same theory, PAP has made some tough and unpopular decisions, like GST, ERP, COE.. but have you considered that our taxes are considered one of the lowest on the world? ERP - before that, we have those tickets that we have to drive to certain spots to Q, pay & stick the paper on our windscreens to enter the CBD. ERP just made our lives BETTER.. more convenient.COE - As much as I detest the idea of paying $16k for a piece of paper for my car, I understand the need to have this system. Imagine our streets are like that of Bangkok where cars move at 10KM/h. I would rather buy a bicycle.
Yes, I’m grateful to our MM, SM, PM & PAP. I appreacite what they have achieved despite the obstacles & challenges. They have done a great job & they ARE still doing a great job.
So in my opinion,
If you want freedom of speech like in TW.. migrate there!
If you want cheap transport like BKK, migrate there!
If you want free health care like Macau, migrate there!
If you want lift that stops at every floor like hotels, move in there!
If not, support the PAP.... unless you think you or the party you are voting for can do a better job.
But I doubt it.
