Singaporeans never did have a Government

Dear Fellow Native Singaporean,

I believe each and every one of us is wondering what had become of our beloved country, Singapore. Particularly, why our standard of living and general well being is deteriorating despite the fact that we have achieved first-world status a long time ago, relentlessly growing national reserve and national budget with large budget surplus etc. Seems like somewhere, somehow, we have been robbed. At the moment many of us are seriously concerned that our children will be worse off than our generation. We were better off when Singapore is just a developing country with no natural resources and only a few well educated.

It suddenly occurs to me that the reason for our predicament is simply “We really don’t have a government”. If we do, even a not so great government, we would have being better off. At least we will be making progress and not regress. We don’t have to look far to find example of countries with “not so great government”  e.g. Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong that are making progress and their people generally happy and optimistic about their future.

The fundamental role and responsibility of any government, regardless of political system, is to improve the well being of its citizens. Every legitimate government must diligently and dutifully adopt a “Citizen First” policy in everything it does. Any government that ceases to do this is no longer legitimate, even if they manage to legally hang on to political power. The primary purpose of the Singapore Constitution and for that matter the constitution of any country, is to improve the well being of its citizens and the elected parliament is simply an instrument to achieve this goal. Put it simply, the PAP government’s introduction of numerous “foreigner first” policy is basically unconstitutional and outright treacherous.

There are countless PAP policies that are “foreigner first” or violate the birth rights of native Singaporean. Here are a few examples:

a)   New citizens: Giving away millions of new citizenship is robbing the birth rights and privileges of Native Singaporean, forever.

b)   FTs: Allowing millions of PR and FTs to come to Singapore to take away most of the good jobs is robbing Native Singaporean of their birth right to better jobs and better life.

c)   Higher education: Allowing foreigners to occupy an unbelievable amount (40%) of precious local universities seats is really the most blatant and unforgivable “foreigner first” policy. It will destroy our children and make them slaves and servants to the FTs in future.

d)   HDB: Allowing the unconstitutionally-registered new citizens and PRs priority in HDB is equally outrageous. Reference to the recent Family-friendly (jump queue) incentive for first time family buyer of HDB flat. This obviously caters to the new citizens and PRs who have kids and have not applied for HDB yet as they are the only ones who fit the criteria. Whereas  it is the practice of ALL native Singaporeans to apply for HDB flat the moment they get married.

e)   Etc etc….

In my opinion, the PAP, even during its early years never intended to be the government of Singapore. They design and abuse the entire system to make themselves shareholders and management of this large enterprise which they themselves call “Singapore Inc”.

We do not have a government, we never did.

We need to be united, focus and persistent in our action to remove this fake government and establish a real government for Singapore, no matter how difficult or how long it takes.

We want a real government for Singapore!

Thank you.
