I believe most people only wanted more oppositions to be in parliament. But things have gotten out of control, we have to send them out of parliament as soon as we can and stop the all the bad policies they are churning out.
Singaporeans are worry about few major items:
1. A roof over the head: Every quarter, new HDB launch prices are adjusted up, now most 5 room flats are above half a million and prices are still going up. Who can carry a loan of 30 years? The government same excuse for this repeatedly is to ask you to live within your limits!
2. Job security: Citizens don’t have any security, we are easily replaced by cheap foreigners and yet we have imported millions. Of course this is the year before election, it has slowed down to trick us again. And more and more foreigners are taking managerial roles to manage us, which means you will be out of job and replace by his friends.
3. Cost of living is sky and getting even higher: In few years, we have become the most expensive city. Botak Tharman told you that it is only for foreigners. But look at the property, the car, the kopi, the MRT/bus fare, they are being adjusted regularly against our stagnant pay. Prices at shopping have been outrageously high that even the basic underwear is hitting $10 per piece, some even at $20.
4. CPF For retirement: No way you can retire with that, they are splitting up and entrapping more of your fund and raising retirement age and also instill more and more conditions on withdrawal. And even worst, they are thinking of new ways to exhaust your fund by having you buying more of this or that, latest MediShield premium.
5. CPF and HDB policies: I don’t think people read or know, better ask the property agent. There are many new conditions and terms imposed. The resale levy or levy is very high, some amounting to few hundred thousands. And terms of withdrawal of CPF OA for property have also changed. You cannot exceed 80% of the sales price even if you have few million cash in there or combined income. What I am saying they are changing rules all the time, we citizens end up losing, paying more and more or being entrapped.
Just these 5 factors alone, can we sustain living on this tiny island with more than 1.5M foreigners still coming? Think hard, are you this stupid?
Do you know more than 10 years ago, this is the case with Japan? They kept increasing the prices of almost anything and until a stage, no one could afford anything anymore and the citizens were revolting that they decided to stop the raising of prices of basic needs such as taxi, train and bus.
The economy is good, the cost is adjusted, the economy is bad, the cost is also adjusted. The town council $2 billion sinking fund, but still will increase price. Why? The PAP is not human anymore, it is simple pure greed.
The PAP style of deception and creating accounting: They don’t pay much or anything at all, but $8B will be spent but over 10 years? You can see but you can’t smell and you think it is highly likely they will imposed “many conditions” to prevent you from using. This is typical right?
PAP made so much surpluses but they never really use much on education, subsidising our flats (unless you believe KBW that HDB is losing billions but yet can afford pay high salary and bonuses to staffs) nor controlling the cost of living but instead chose to suck our blood and money that we cannot even retire. They are become merciless, greedy and heartless (but of course, they are great actors). But they will pay for foreigners to study here but they will not fund our children, isn’t it strange??? Will you do this to your children?
What I’m saying, the vicious cycle is getting so vicious and you don’t really understand the extent of the damage on Singapore and your living until you sit down and think. For those having children, how would your children end up? If things keep going up and if foreigners never stop at 7M (knowing they might come out with another whiter paper), where would you be?
They said life is good, we reached Swiss standard of living in 2003, do you really feel the same? Do you think life is getting harder and harder and you can’t really afford to retire? And worst still, foreigners are taking over key positions and managing us.
Before it’s too late, stop the vicious cycle or face the music!
