Their intention is to eradicate the middle class, then manage the survivors Hungry Games style, with the help of technology.

Don't just look at this price hike or that fee increase. Step back and look at the whole picture. Connect the dots.

Wake up! :cool:

Sinkies are then forced to take public transport. But even public transport fares are also increasing. So Sinkies are double fucked!

Many S'poreans who don't own cars keep wishing for the COE premiums to continue spiraling upwards as they believe that it doesn't affect them. They couldn't be more wrong since the cost of doing business will increase as well when transport costs shoot upwards. This extends to operators of public transport services.

MIGRATE!!!!
How many times must I tell you?
Or simply gutless to make a change?
Who are the desirable emigrants that other developed countries welcome? Those who are highly qualified and of a high SES level. These are the Sinkies staying in private properties and who own cars here, so they are not living cheek to jowl in the HDB heartlands like the hoi polloi.

Sound like an excuse for the category of people I described above.

I wouldn't refer to Sinkies who choose to remain in SG as "gutless" or even "quitters" like Woody loved to call them (the irony is that his own daughter chose to emigrate to the UK). Many would actually love to escape the pressure cooker of this overcrowded and expensive island, but owing to elderly parents and the loss of their family/social network here, they choose to remain. The majority of Sinkies just don't possess the required qualifications and wealth to be deemed desirable immigrants to the developed countries too.
