Maybe tharman is the one whO sOld our country out,signing ceca Agreement bringing m illions of his fellow shitskin over.if he is so good why didnt he see the direction and state our economy is in?is this the best they could come up with?expanding our economy by shovelling boatloads of immigrants in and building endless condos and shopping malls?

The pappies need to get the domestic economy humming and running well to generate the collection of revenue and to do this, they have to bring in more people. Trouble is that when the pappies bring in more foreigners, they also let in the rubbish, the ang mohs who hantam taxi drivers, the ah nehs who molested women folks, the pinoys who became pimps, etc.

The pappies are just blind bats, unable to match the craftiness of foreigners.

Tharman is who he is primarily because he wasnt a BG or RA in the SAF previously. Once in the SAF for long, you lose the ability to think of pragmatic options. The other 'highly rated' minister HSK also 'siamed' the SAF as a career scholar soldier.

I recall HSK was a SPFOS, and retired from the SPF as an AC.

To the ordinary people, the FTs are rubbish, overcrowders.

To the pappies, increasing the population is just a numbers game: like acquiring more downlines for a MLM. They never cared about the quality of life for the born and bred Singaporeans. The pappies think that setting up some 'Integration Council' or releasing some snarky propaganda on Youtube is going to make the social tensions go away. :rolleyes:

I believe that the unfortunate thing is that a majority of the MP's and the senior civil servants (who apparently make decisions and formulate policies) have not lived the life of the commoners, for example, born and raised in the kampongs or HDB flats, rarely or never used public transportation on a regular basis, to understand the lives and challenges of the commoners.
Accordingly, they do not what it is to be a "non-elite" Singaporean.

If you are small, you can't employ policies that are being used by larger countries. Learn from the Nordic countries.

Race is not important-the guy must be one whose policies makes the people happy.

My criteria is to vote for the guy who can improve our ranking in the World Happiness Report from the present 24th to the Top 5 (at present Switzerland , Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Canada ) esp in the areas of generosity, social support and freedom.

The pappy is all about GNP and you must pay me not to be corrupt.

yes continue to have the white scums as majority government and hope "change from within" .... ... eeh that seems to work against the fact that absolute power corrupts absolutely????

btw nothing works better than having real competition that always, always benefits the consumers.

just to add nobody has ever showed the above is not 100% true.

so i say vote in as many oppo as we can.

nothing beats the "motivation" from the knowledge that the competitors will readily replace you if you dun perform ... .... be it coming up with real, sustainable economic strategy or improving whatever ranking there is in the world.

real reason is still, they have no incentive, motivation to understand.

i mean why bother? it's not like there are any real competitors waiting to replace them even if they screwed up with the numbers or policies?

just wait for the next budget to rectify the current under/overbudget and set a new direction.

eg to build more or less hdb.

PAP has to change to survive. They will be in power after next election no matter what the Opp throw at them. So the best thing for us to do is encourage change that benefits us. That's all we can do. If the Opp is strong enough, then it's a different story!

Vote him out, and when the opposition form the government, they can offer him a senior civil service position. :biggrin:

you have rephrased it in many ways but I think you are still saying "give the white scums a chance". no?

the best "encouragement" is to make sure there are competitors aka "spurs up the hide" and that means voting in as many oppo and kick out as many white scums.

I am saying since we have no choice but to accept PAP rule after this coming election, we need to encourage change that benefits us. Hope the doves and the moderates get into top position to mute the hardliners. Yes, and vote in as many Opp as we get. Only then we can drive the country in the right direction.
