Singapore's social contract BROKEN....

The reason why pap was so well supported in the past was the social contract that existed between the pple and govt.

Singaporeans gave up democratic freedoms, rights and workers the power theof independent unions in exchange for economic well being. This contract held right up to the 90s when the PAP start to change course putting economic coinsiderations, business interests and its own interests well above the interests of the people. While business interests can be argued to be loosely aligned with workers interests - better a business does, the better it can treat workers and pay them better ...however, reality can depart from this when there is unfettered access to cheap labor and workers become an expendable means of production, when this happens the profit motive of business diverge from the interest of workers.

The last decade has been characterised by decline wage share in the economy, rising inequality, large import of foreign labor, in order to favour the rich and keep taxes low the pap passed all sorts of risks in retirement, healthcare, unemployment onto the ordinary citizens. We have seen a decade of rising inequality, rising relative poverty, declining quality of life, rising cost of living, stagnant wages for many workers, and high and rising indebtedness of households.

Trust in the pap govt has deteriorated. The pap persists in its undemocratic ways suing those who dare to speak up and set off mindless minions onto the Internet to offend everyone.

In the end whatever happens to pap's support is the function of what pap does to the people. It no longer has a monopoly on information and its propaganda machine is breaking down so it cannot keep turning black to white. People can measure what has happened quantitatively and feel qualitatively the effects of pap policies. They can no longer plaster over it to tell us everything is fine when it is not.

Now is the time to target the useless bastards in Ang Mo Kio GRC to make sure that they are with the rest of the population and they should vote out Transgender Loong. Those bastards living in Ang Mo Kio are the most useless scums in Singapore if they vote the Transgender again. What kind of a daft fool will vote for someone who will buy support and and fix adversaries. KNNPCB to Ang Mo Kio voters, you better stand up and be counted. :oIo:

The social contract (compact) shouldn't have existed in the first place. It facilitates tyranny. Without liberty, you'll find that prosperity will also elude you.
