For 50 years we have been sold the idea by our great leader LKY that he and his group of politicians called the elites, scholars or high flyers with a hodgepodge of sycophants are the talents. They claim they are people of high intellectual and other calibre who could be trusted to bring us good lives and a just society.
Fast forward, 50 years later, we the people finally can see whether these so-called scholars or elites are talents worthy of their claims to be paid the world’s highest salaries and junior ministers are worthy to be paid more than US President Obama. Have they delivered the Swiss standard of living and just society?
What we have seen is a system of government based on gerrymandering of laws to suck the people dry of monies, to protect the self-interest of the elites and to suppress their citizens so as to allow themselves to be entrenched in power.
When it comes to arguments about their policies or social aspects, we have seen these elites have no hesitation to use their controlled media to claim success while denying all problems created by themselves.
But little do they realise that there are certain things they cannot hide or cover up with clever arguments or a controlled media. Things like the fiasco of disruptive breakdowns of MRT, joblessness of citizens, loss of retirement, overcrowding, traffic jams, failed policing & border controls, haze & dengue control, fire-safety, building safety, 50-year ‘ponding‘ on Orchard Road, are what these elites cannot deny, as facts speak louder than clever arguments. The fire incidents are increasing by the day.
So we are witnessing today, again and again, these elites being very clever on the outside but hollow on the inside. There is enough and there will be more and more evidence to show that pappies are looking good only on the outside but are hollow inside. Vote wisely this time and do not be conned by all the repeated claims of talents by the hollow party.
