I tend to agree with u that calling them totally incompetent is somewhat strong. But if u know where Tracy is coming from where many are left behind by the PAP policies, u would be able to understand why she feels so strongly against the PAP. And there are many out there who is like TracyTan. My personal view is not so much a question of competency but rather that the PAP is now completely motivated by greed. Greed in the sense of enriching the reserves at all costs (which means spending as little as possible out of the reserves as well). As a result, all policies made by the PAP be it for business objectives or social objectives take reference from this goal of accumulating more and more reserves. The whole PAP mindset is that now, sadly.
I related this case before:
I visited a single mother, 40s, with a Sec 3 daughter staying at East Coast GRC. She was sick with heart problems, kidney malfunction, and half blind. She had to do regular kidney dialysis. So she cant work. FSC/CDC gave her free rental, free utilities and $300 per month and her daughter received $30 for school pocket fund.
After two years, FSC/CDC told her that they had to terminate the $300 as they cant continue, despite her condition remaining the same. She went to see her MP which was DPM, Jayakumar, at the MPS. They wrote an appeal letter on her behalf to FSC/CDC. But the reply was "sorry, cant help after two years". Is this what MCYS shd do to a sick, single Singaporean mother? Her MP told her that he cant do anything as FSC/CDc had replied. Hello...DPM cant do anything when he agreed that she needed help? It doesnt make sense to me that the pap DPM agreed she needed help but was overriden by a staff from FSC/CDC...the support was terminated by FSC/CDC
This may be an one off case...but to me...it doesnt speak well of the pap, the DPM and MCYS...
so dont be taken in by the pap's talk that no one will be left behind
