I don't understand the logic of PAP supporters and their IBs.
They say things like:
"You bunch of oppositions supporters are all ingrates. Did you not have a home to go to at the end of the day and did you not have a education so that you can go get a job?
All these are given to you by PAP.
Learn to cherish and be grateful what this government have done for you all."
The problem is that such people are giving too much credit to the PAP.
First of all the hdb flat or any other type of houses is not given to Singaporeans by PAP.
Did PAP conjure the flats out of thin air by magic and are these flats free?
The answer is no.
PAP is merely just an elected party task to be guardian of state lands.
They are in charge of creating or bringing in construction firms and workers to build the flats.
These flats were built by Singaporeans through our economic contrbution allowing firms to set up and build the flats. Once it is built we Singaporeans contribute yet again into these flats through our mortgage and land taxes contributions.
Your PAP did not fork out a single cent out of their own pockets to build these flats for the people. They claim they are loosing hundreds of million in each flat, but this is only after they include the cost of land which they bought from themselves at any price they want to set.
And yes Singaporeans are educated but what good is an education when PAP did not set up fair employment laws for Singaporeans and being in hordes of foreign labour to directly compete with us and posing a job threat to Singaporeans while PAP themselves grow rich by earning levies?
PAP supporters give too much undue credit to the PAP and overlook all the toils and contributions made on the citizens side too.
