Some facts, not conjectures:
1. "Ridiculously priced pigeon holes": that may indeed be the case. However, considering a sizeable proportion of people who live in HDB flats do not even have to fork out extra cash payments to cover the monthly mortgage, I'd say that is pretty good in both relative and absolute terms

</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
Some S'poreans don't have to fork out cash payments for their monthly mortgages because they are paying with their CPF retirement savings. This has artificially supported the high valuation for HDB flats despite our stagnant income.

Thus instead of having set aside cash or in diversified liquid investments for your retirement, you are left with an overpriced HDB flat but cash poor for your retirement.

All your eggs are in one basket. Your retirement money is locked up in a property that is difficult to monetise, and which could be in a protracted market cycle when you need to realise cash.

For one to be in the higher office that one must first be a servant. Mr. Chiam See Tong has displayed the virtues of serving his people like a servant in his constituency which I don't see much of this virtues in the PAP ministers. In fact whenever my MP visited my estate, the cleaners had cleansed my estate so clean that estate shines like a palace one or two days before her visit. And when the MP arrives for her visit, she was welcomed like a Queen.

For sure I agree with Rambutanboy.
Take note of one common sign now in the ruling authority. A Liar will never tell you the truth, the liar will twist and turn words to make u believe what they said.
We have been fooled all along. Time to get every true blue Singaporean to wake up before we are being marginalize again and again.

WITH OR WITHOUT PAP, THERE MUST BE A...
Politically vibrant S'pore

<!-- by line --><!-- end by line -->
<!-- end left side bar --><!-- story content : start -->
IN HIS letter on Wednesday, Mr Ling Tuck Mun ('Imagining a Singapore without the PAP') suggests that ordinary Singaporeans like me should imagine Singapore without the People's Action Party (PAP).
While I find the exercise useful, I arrived at a different perspective.
The political scene in our young nation's development is akin to when Singapore's telecommunications market was monopolised.
SingTel appeared to be 'as good as it gets'.
When other players entered the fray, we realised that 'the best was yet to be'.
Effective competition facilitates advancement in all human endeavours.
As the saying goes, a government is only as good as the opposition.
Waxing lyrical about the PAP now is like a 17th century Tory saying it was impossible to imagine Britain without the Conservative Party.
Well, the Conservatives are in the opposition now.
I am confident a future government of the day will benefit from a vibrant political scene.
All Singaporeans, ordinary or otherwise, will be the better for it.
Albert Tay

Collective effort

<!-- by line --><!-- end by line -->

'Imagine a Singapore without a capable, honest and conscientious government.' MR CHIA HAN GHEE: 'I have the utmost respect for all that the PAP and our forefathers have done for Singapore. But a country's survival and prosperity should not depend on a single political party or individuals. It is a collective effort by all citizens and non-citizens here. Imagine a Singapore without a capable, honest and conscientious government.'

=> No wonder Sporns are being driven to extinction!

The great mass majority of the people in Singapore has voted diligently for the great PAP government to bring a better government, a better living place, a better education hub and a better and secure business venture hub. You people has made the right choice, 3 cheers for all of you and the PAP :smile:
