The following is a comment by a PAP grassroots leader at its Bedok branch.
This individual Kenneth Vaithilingam has also written in to the PAP-controlled Straits Times today calling for Roy Ngerng and Han Hui Hui to be punished severely for last Saturday's fracas at Hong Lim Park.
Tell us what you think.

Singapore does not enjoy the hinterland status to that of the other countries that you are comparing it with. Even KL has a large hinterland where they can use or misuse to the benefit of those living in the Cities. Everything thing we have comes from abroad, even the toilet paper that you use or reuse.
Our purchasing power really depends on where and from whom we buy.
My purchasing power may be lower than most but I am assured that what I purchase is genuine, free of germs and mostly safe.
All food consumed is of the highest safety standard and not killed and packed in the backyard of somebody’s shit-house.
Sometimes when you ask for mutton you may get beef but at least you dont get Kangaroo meat or wild boar as a substitute.
The buildings we work in dont collapes on us and it is relatively safe for my children to come home at 3am in the morning from a night-club (which doesn’t catch fire when they are dancing) and I am sure it will be quite safe for my grand-children to take a bus to school…(although they will have to pay one of the highest bus fares in the world.)
And most of all I know how much Mr. Lee Hsien Loong, earns and that he doesnt have his own ship , aeroplane and palace bought with my money. I also know that he has to use his own car (with current CEO prices like you and me)and can only use the State Cars on official occasions
And most of all I KNOW that I had to work hard to get what I wanted in life and that nobody was going to give me a handout unless I was crippled. I was given a leg up by Lee Hsien Loong’s father and now he is trying his best to do this for the the new generation. The best thing about Singapore is that it is the Best Place In the World to live for people who work hard and long for a better life………………and you know something , it is also the easiest place to leave, if you want to. You can leave for Indonesia, Malaysia or even Thailand where things are less than 50% of that compared to Singapore. There are 10 million Indonesians, Malaysians and Thais waiting to change places with you.
