Why the PAP elites and their superscale civil servant cronies are not doing enough to reduce poverty and inequality in Singapore?

The only way to bring more equality is having truly free market and true capitalism where you make it easy for anyone who want to start an honest business. Reward creativity and hard work through free market.

The only role of the gov is to ensure fair play with sound justice system with good law and order and solid sovereign defence.

If everyone's effort, diligence and commitment were roughly equal then there would be less inequality in Singapore.


oh really ?............what if your friend's family is 10x poorer than yours...................while another friend's family is 10x richer than yours..............

or what if your parents are PAP topdogs....................results still similar ?

LKY is rumoured to be a billionaire when he up the lorry. How does an "honest" politician do that:confused:

Ho Ching is running Temasek and makes a couple of millions a year. What is her qualifications:confused:

There's nothing wrong with inequality it's what keeps the human race going.

If everyone was equal the world as we know it would come to a screeching halt.

Yeoh Lam Keong's comment on Rent is truly spot on, unfortunately his buddy DPM Tharman did not bother to listen to him or is waiting for PM Lee to transfer power to him, I am not sure but obviously it is bad enough that Yeoh now make such hard hitting statement. Anyway, it is really too late, the die has been casted, we can probably be happy knowing that little red dot will not be the only one, although we need not be in that tragic group of nations.

A GRC team comprising Lim Tean, Paul Tambyah, Lam Keong, Jeanette and 1 or 2 others (of similar quality) will be worth at least 45% of the votes in a GE?

This month, the son of former President shearers made over $4 million from sale of his Sentosa
landed house.He bought it in 2005 from developer,Ho Bee, Chua Tian poh..for $2.7 million and sold it for $6.8 million.

Was he the selected and privileged few to be offered this prize catch..??

Or was he just lucky or was it that he is well connected.?

Now , Chua Tian Poh was also lucky to clinch the sentosa cove parcel of land in 2003.
He was the sole tenderer and tendered 22% below value to get it in a very hush and quiet tender exercise.

Wong kan seng said the deal is ok. No problem about it, even the Chief valuer was not consulted.

Was Chua, now a billionaire very lucky or was it that he is well connected.?

Now, our PM LHL was also very lucky to make money from his Nassim Jade condo.
He got more than 10% discount but he returned it as donation after this episode.

We will just have to conclude that he is very lucky and well connected.

So for these few people, they are lucky and well connected and the words POVERTY AND INEQUALITY are not in their vocabulary.

If you fall below the poverty line, you are just unlucky.
