1) Treatment of the poor
The PAP government do not care for the elderly, handicapped and poor. Many of these who badly needed help can be seen on the streets selling tissue packets, singing, collecting cardboards or even literally begging. The civil service is not short of manpower to engage this community, yet the immoral PAP government choose to ignore their plight and rather spend billions of fancy projects like Project Jewel and overseas properties investments. Worse, the immoral PAP government demonized welfare handout as populist and conveniently inferred that populism is wrong.
2) Treatment of elderly
CPF was originally promised to be returned by 55 with no Minimum Sum. The immoral PAP government has backtracked on this promise and made retirement impossible with an ever-increasing Minimum Sum and Retirement Age.
3) Treatment of low income employees
The PAP have publicly claimed that Minimum Wage do not work and threatened that businesses will close down and jobs will be lost if Minimum Wage is enacted. Using this excuse, the PAP condone employers to continue exploiting low income employees. A construction worker in Singapore earns about $1.50 an hour and the Ministry of Manpower turns a blind eye to such modern day slavery. The Ministry of Manpower set very low employment benefits and nearly all companies, especially Small and Medium Enterprises, conveniently "comply" with the low standards. The end result is of course high attrition rate but as usual, the immoral PAP government doesn't care. Income gap in Singapore is officially one of the highest in the world and yet again, the immoral PAP government doesn't care.
4) Treatment of NS men
New citizens may get the same pink IC and benefits as Singaporeans born and bred here but they are excused National Service. This double standards and gross injustice is allowed by the immoral PAP government and their flimsy excuse is that new citizens can serve the country in other ways. When it comes to employment, NS men do not get even a foot ahead of foreigner job applicants. In its bid to raise the GDP and eventually their GDP-pegged salaries, the immoral PAP government imported a huge influx of foreigners raising the population by 25% in mere 10 years. The consequences of employment displacement and salaries depression were all given to Singaporeans to handle, along with the by-effects of overcrowding and rising property prices.
5) Treatment of the middle class
Low birth rate? Rising cost of living? Stagnant wages? Dangerous debt servicing ratio? The immoral PAP government doesn't care and they believe importing more foreigners is the only solution which is also why they are pushing for a 6.9 million population.
A few weeks ago, Lee Hsien Loong claimed that his administration is filled with morally upright people and that he pays "realistic" salaries to them. Morally upright people wouldn't even accept a million dollar paycheck in the first place, this common sense reasoning naturally invalidates Lee Hsien Loong's ludicrous self-praise. The only logical explanation why Singapore has become an immoral place is because we have an immoral leadership who are only there for the salaries and a leader who is so painfully out of touch he calls himself realistic.
